It's probably too sweet, but you don't know until you try.

That Tabac 28...I keep hearing about it but is it true that you can only get it in Miami? I have family near there so I could probably get it if I loved it. I just find it hard to believe a fragrance would only sell locally.

Yeah, it's a city exclusive for 11 months out of the year. But you can order it for 1 month and they'll send it to you.

It's like 350? for 50 mls? Basically double Tom Ford Prices.

Maybe, just maybe....until now I've got the Perfume Parlour clones, and I can cop that Habanos for the same. I got some other wet tobacco leaf joints as well..

I've seen that bottle of Oud Maracuja on Perfuum.com for weeks.
I just didn't feel like dropping $30 for 2 ml

But that's had my interest for a little while now

I've decided that some scents, I'm just going to be comfortable with decants.
Like, some of these Roja prices? I might be perfectly happy spending $100 for like 10ml decants, because I'm never going $400 for the full bottle.

Well now clearly I must increase my spending habits to even get to a fraction of what's going on in your posts. I mean, it's not my fault yanno? Them be the rules :lupe:

It's funny tho, cuz out of the ones on the original list, I think the Mancera Red one was the one that I want to try most after a quick lookup. That apple note in their has me intrigued real bad.


Also wouldn't mind getting my nose on that CK One Shock. Don't be hearing a lot of people talking about CK like that fr anymore but it seems interesting.
@Sonic Boom of the South and @Monoblock got them heavy collections. I stay taking notes from the brothers.

I'm the ambassador for decants. I'd rather buy 10-15 scents at 5 mls, than pay 150 for 1 bottle. Usually I build up a list of stuff I want to smell, and then spend 3-5 bills and buy it all in one go.

Last purchase of 2023, I copped a bunch of Solstice Scents, an indie guy from Florida. And I have nothing good to report from the 8 joints I got.

I'm so glad I resisted the urge to cop a full bottle off of notes. The one I was most interested in, was only aight

  • Dark Rum, Estate Vanilla, Rum Soaked Raisins,
  • Spiced Rum, Bourbon Oak Casks, Buttered Rum,
  • Sugarcane, Orange Peel Bitters
Lemme do a quick spritz....this one is better with maturation - but dodge a bullet.

Cuba pumped it.
Curly pumped it.
And I might have seen some tiktokers mention it? I don't really be on TikTok too tough though.

Where are you getting that African Rooibos decant from? Because I can get a discovery set on Chris Collins website for $50 but I almost feel like it's a waste of money because it includes at least 2 feminine scents I don't care for.

Also, may god guide you on your quest in trying to find that Guerlain Tobacco Honey for a reasonable price.

:picard:

They had Rooibos at Scent Split for the longest.

I see stuff like this, but the bad logo makes me think it's shady


And I've only seen a decent price for Tobacco Honey on Reddit and Etsy.

All my more established spots want 45+ for it. I'd pay that for something discontinued, but not brand new

So for the moment, I'm going with the trusted decant sites you've shared here: Scentsplit, DecantX and Perfuum. I've bought from each and they've all been legit.

I've also successfully copped from

The Perfumed Court - https://www.theperfumedcourt.com/ - hand written note
Fragrances Line - EXACT same layout as Scent Split - Perfume & Cologne Samples / Decants Online | Fragrances Line

Dabbers from Lucky Scent - Luckyscent - Official Site - The Best in Fragrance...and More

You can buy some 2 ml bottles from amazon and transfer...but it's not optimal

These are the 5 I've been meaning to try

Luxury Perfume & Cologne Samples - Lowest Prices | Decant House - which has Tobacco Honey
