Lemongrass, cherries, alkaline water
I've been meaning to check La Tacita de Cafe from them. Cuba and a smaller channel was bigging them up.
It’s pretty cool. They included a sample when I picked up AD. Realistic cup of coffee w/ caramel and brown sugar. Can’t say I’m a big fan of coffee though so I passed on a full bottle. They have a decent deal on their discovery set $30 to try everything

Not enough Iris like I was expecting!
This smells good and powdery on clothes but barely smell it on skin!

Yo I'm thinking about getting that Aethyst!

I already ordered: Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud


I'm going to wait and see if Amazon send me the 2 I got a refund for not getting so I won't order them till January or so.

I fukked with Marc Jacobs for men for mad years, but they stopped making it and the market for it is wild - they want like $350 for a small bottle. Anyone know a cologne that has similar construction/notes/smell?

I have that one too but only use it when it's blisteringly cold outside. By The Fireplace on steroids. Another nuclear frag from Lattafa.

Never tried that one.

Parfumo says Ferrari Noble Fig. I don't know how available that is.

If it's the fig that you like most, Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi is another one to try.

A year ago (or maybe it was earlier this year), I copped a decant of Aqua di Gio Profumo based on WIA's posts.
I thought it was fantastic. Then it got cancelled and I never got around to getting a small bottle.

The other day I got a little decant of Aqua di Gio Profondo and I fukking hate it. I'm not saying it's a bad scent because it's super popular and a lot of people online say it's their signature scent. But I didn't like it at all.

Test everything, folks.

i blind bought house of sillage minnie mouse yesterday on 30% off..... :lupe: i hope it smells delicious

so this finally came in and i been testing it for about a week. it's smells real nice. but idk if it's my nose specifically or whatever but the sillage is actually NOT that great especially for the brand to be named house of sillage! like, i can't smell it after a few hours.

oh well, ill have to figure out how to finesse the sillage somehow. been thinking of giving it to my niece who likes minnie mouse. but imagine a 4 year old with a $400 dollar bottle of perfume lol.. lil bougie

Speaking of Parfumo - this is their current ranking for 2023 for Men


Out of the 100, I've heard of about half, and only put my nose on 9.

There is a lot of Zara on the list. 26% at least.

On this list, I'd say the clear winner is JPG Le Male Elixir, and Myself is prolly #2
Yeah I don't buy that shyt about Creed Absolu being that popular or good.
I think a lot of people just bought it to flex because it's expensive.

That'd be hilarious. Flexing on all them other chicks in pre-school.

Have you done the coffee bean test? Where you inhale some coffee beans and check to see if your fragrance is still there?
