Have not heard of most of these.


Did Esquire take the check?

I've heard of the Huron joint. Almost pulled the trigger on it a couple of times due to its affordability but couldn't bring myself to do it. And nothing about it's profile would make me think it would've ended up on an Esquire list for top anything lol.

What are your strongest blue fragrances?

There's a lot of discussion about what "blue" means, other than marketing.
And a lot of discrepancy on what "strong means"

But here's how I'd rank mine from strongest to least strong
  1. Salt and Pepper - the absolute king. I never mention it outside of this post.
  2. Sauvage EDT
  3. Dylan Blue
  4. Sauvage EDP
  5. Y EDP
  6. BDC EDP
  7. Sauvage Parfum
  8. BDC Parfum
Blues I own but don't wear enough to really make a good argument for
  • PDM - Percival/Sedley
  • Narciso Rodriguez - For Him Bleu Noir
  • Roja - Elysium

Blues I've never tried

  • Prada - Luna Rossa Carbon
  • BVLGARI - Aqva Pour Homme Atlantique
  • Burberry - Mr. Burberry
  • Coach - Coach for Men
  • Jimmy Choo - Choo Man Blue
  • Ralph Lauren - Polo Blue
  • Rasasi - Hawas

If you want spend some money, Sebastian got some good picks in here

Forgot about this one. I liked it. It's not super strong or real loud or anything though. Comes off very neutral to me. But it makes for a good daily wear. Didn't like the longevity tho. Had a nicca thinkin' my senses were leaving me---had me out here in the streets like The Rock tryna get the scent byke

They definitely got paid to add these:

Huron Sea Salt + Driftwood Eau de Parfum
Fulton & Roark Hwy 190 Extrait de Parfum
Ranger Station Oud Ranch Perfume


The rest on the list I know about.
Man that After Sun shyt been flooding my TL on IG. Esquire definitely took the check. Like a few years ago that Blu Atlas-Atlantic shyt was everywhere and I think a lot of publications named it men's frag of the year or some goofy shyt. Everyone takes the check for the right price.

SOTD-Pacific Chill(FBO version) with the shea butter (this shyt gonna be a monster come summer)

I know that the Vacation fragrance house got niche popularity.

The actual fragrance they have that is also named "Vacation" been popular. So I would consider that less suspect than Fulton & Roark Hwy 190 Extrait de Parfum
Ranger Station Oud Ranch Perfume.

SOTD is nothing so far, but likely going with Ambar Dominicano for a group dinner tonight.

Ordered decants of Fall of Phaeton and Triumph of Bacchus.

:wow:
