Kinda late but my fav bond no. 9 is scent of peace for him
Just started rocking BVLGARI Marine. Nice, super clean scent. I work aboard on a tropical island so this is great for the type of weather we have here.
Scent of Peace and Nomad for me.

Heard there’s a new JPG dropping.. Le Beau Paradise Garden
I don't think 2023 was that good for new fragrances. A lot of elixirs on the designer end, and the popular niche houses didn't really bring it imo (I guess I'm a snob now, smh). And then there were prolly 3,000 fragrances from niche and indie houses that got no type of shine.
On the cheaper side, get your nose on
- Le Male Elixir - easily 2023's hypebeast
- Gentleman Society - woody fresh
- MYSLF - and the fragrance that snobs hated, but regular people liked - woody fresh
- Born in Roma Intense - sweet?
On the more expensive side, peep
- Althair (so much hype for a so-so scent imo) - sweet gourmand
- Ingenious Ginger - ginger/warm weather scent
Yea Im feeling like Bowtie when it comes to designer frags. shyt has been ridiculous for a minute now but they going into overdrive with these flankers.' Got my hands on the Valentino Born In Roma Intense and this shyt is dumb.
The fragrance business model is for the casuals, not the hardcore.
A lot of guys, their first bottle was a gift from a girlfriend.
I think the blend of lavender, sandlewood, and vetiver smells similar to s&p but in a slightly different manner. Masculin Plureil seems more elegant but S&P seems to appeal to the feminine nose more
Good video.
There is a lot of redundancy in the designer fragrance world right now from what I can see.
The more videos I watch on YouTube, the more I've come to realize most everyone hops on the same things. The other day I was looking at the top fragrances on Fragrantica and Parfumo. There's so much overlap it doesn't even matter.
Do you think fragrance houses are being lazy?
Because it's not like these fragrances from the last 2-3 years are bad. They're just not creative.
It's like...."this fragrance was successful. We're going to change 1 or 2 notes and release a new bottle." And sure....it "keeps the same DNA of the line" but does that even matter?
It's just like Hollywood, why do something new when you could put out Iron Man 11?
Lazy and greedy.
