That's mine.
I got that in Afghanistan in 2011 or 2012.
This Afghan that looked 100% Chinese said it cast spells. Just write the name of the person and place it inside.
brehs lets talk cologne game
- Thread starter KOOL-AID
- Start date
Definitely want to put my nose on it.
But I tried Noir Anthracite...and ugh.... Tom Ford is polarizing more than any other house imo.

That part. I love a good niche, but some of the Tom Ford's are way too niche for me. I think that a growing number of the TF private collection fragrances are made to be collected instead of to be enjoyed.
I love Tobacco Oud, probably my 1A (Tobacco Vanille is 1B..today..might switch)
So this Tobacco Oud Intense must be ever better right?
4.43 on Fragrantica?
Lemme grab 10ml's from reddit swap.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS BS?
The Tobacco aint' intense. The Oud ain't intense.
Naw, they added Castoreum
And what is castoreum? Where does it come from?
The hell it does...
I have:
I don't dislike any of them but:
I can barely smell Fat Electrician - I'm definitely anosmic to it.
EXPERIMENTUM CRUCIS---smells like a pure 1980's super strong women's fragrance. Like some shyt Liz Taylor wore to an awards show.
Remarkable People is extremely weak on skin! I don't get any champagne note. The grapefruit is faint. Even on clothes this isn't that strong.
FRUSTRATION -- smells like peanut butter and cumin but super strong.
------------------------------------------
The 1s I like most are:
I AM TRASH
MAIN NOTES
Apple Essence Upcycling, Rose Absolute Upcycling, Cedarwood Atlas Upcycling, Bitter Orange, Gariguette Strawberry
----------------------------------------------------------
THE GHOST IN THE SHELL ----This smells like you cut off a humanoid cyborg's hand off and dip it in milk. I oddly like this and wear it! It smells like synthetic flesh and milk.
-----------------------------------------------------
YOU OR SOMEONE LIKE YOU---- This is a minty fresh fragrance.
------------------------
EXIT THE KING-------MAIN NOTES
Soap Foam, Pink Pepper, Timur, Jasmine, Rose, Lily of the Valley, Patchouli, Moss, Sandalwood
----------------------------------------------
HERMANN A MES COTES ME PARAISSAIT UNE OMBRE----
------------------------------------
I want to get:
RIEN INTENSE INCENSE
MAIN NOTES
Incense, rose, leather, iris, rockrose, oakmoss, pyrogenic styrax, patchouli, amber, caraway, black pepper, aldehydes
Scent of Paradise by Alghabra Parfums - very much unisex. You have to enjoy rose. It's light. Refreshing. Floral.
Ambar Dominicano by Day Three - Reminds me of a coca cola slurpee at first. Then a beautiful cinnamon and rum. There might be a hint of pepper in this but it's mild. Beautiful amber. I'm going to wear this out at night when I want something sexy but not sweet.
I made a mistake last month when I was reviewing Gentle Fluidity Silver. I did not notice that the decant they sent me was Gentle Fluidity Gold, by mistake. And while both fragrances share similar notes, they don't smell alike at all. What I said in my earlier review is true, but now that I have the actual Silver, I can tell you that the Vanilla is way stronger in Gold, and pulled back a ton in the Silver. The Silver leads more with musk and nutmeg. It's more crisp. I can see how this would be considered more of an everyday scent profile. I like them both but if I had to choose, I'd get a bottle of the Silver.
I'll try a decant of Labyrinth of Spices by Alghabra soon, then probably the cheapest Roja decants I can find. I'm not comfortable going $30+ for decants too often and sampling Roja adds up fast.

I would take advantage of this but Papilefiko isn't available and I don't know that I want another bottle from Nishane right now.
...maybe Hacivat/Ani.
I wish I had sampled B-612 or Kredo but I didn't get to those yet.

How many sprays do you use, normally?3 days on the test strip and this Megamare is still pushing
Not of the strongest fragrances you own. But on average.
Everyone is different. I'm not asking to copy. I'm curious how others apply.
I typically do 2-3. Though lately I've been doing 4-5.

Had to revisit that Wild Fruits by Mancera. Liked it a lot more this time around.
