brehs lets talk cologne game

[Monoblock]

Almost bought a decant of this (profile seemed interesting) but ended up going with Double Attack & Checkmate by Mind Games, and Vele by Tiziana.

Also grabbed a Creed Aventus & Creed Viking.

You got it Mitch

Fall/winter scent?

Both are Spring and Summer. Being in Houston these are right on time. Temps are definitely rising.

Oceanic Symphony-This reminds me of Megamare with lemon and not as potent but still long lasting.

Mango Hibistorm-some people will be scared b/c this is more feminine leaning but this shyt hits and the mango just keeps pushing along with hibiscus tea note. Tea is really starting to become one of my favorite scents.

Got my Fragrancenet subscription for this month

I did research looking for a fragrance that smells like grapes.

I saw on Fragrantica.com and on YT that Azzaro Wanted Girl By Night smells like grapes without having a grape note.

So I got that shyt and it legit does smell like grape soda.

Wanted Girl By Night by Azzaro is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Wanted Girl By Night was launched in 2021. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Cresp.

Top notes are Whipped Cream and Rum; middle note is Night blooming Cereus; base note is Patchouli.

SOTD - Osaito by M. Micallef

It's alright. Didn't love this decant when I got it. But it's got its vibe. There are way better aquatics out there on the market.

SOTD Afternoon Swim…grabbed a small decant and this shyt alright probably wouldn’t cop a full bottle…

Going to a ball game tomorrow and plan on wearing Meteore

SOTD - Cuban tobacco - This was not a cheap decant. Even with 20% off.

Cuban Tobacco

Shop Alghabra Cuban Tobacco Sample & Decants. Buy 100% authentic perfume samples of Cuban Tobacco by fragrance House of Alghabra.

But yo, this is kinda flames. The tobacco is on that Tobacco Vanille tip sorta, but the rest of the notes are involved too.

Not a full price bottle for sure, but b the off chance this breaks on the floor from a fumble, I'm replacing it.

Low key Alghabra has some good stuff.

What's funny is that my mom said that her dad used to wear Aramis. I never smelled it. And I saw it once at a mall when we were shopping together. But she didn't let me sample it because she would have gotten too emotional because he's not here anymore.

I mean, I probably have smelled it before. It's been around forever. But I'm gonna get a decant of it. It's probably something I smelled from men at church back in the 80s.

Edit - I forgot how So Avante Garde sells things at retail so even with 25% off, the prices are outrageous. This 25% off code is useful if you go there and find some samples you want.

Yep the LV brand is carrying their mid fragrances and people buy into hype…there’s a lot of houses out there to get caught up on one.

This is the one that hardly anyone talks about but I think is my favorite all around LV.

SOTD - Houbigant - Tabac Nomade

2 good Tobacco fragrances in a row? Whoa.

Leans a bit red/earthy on the Tobacco side and got some good spices.

Do I smell the rose? Bergamot? Saffron? Leather....not really.

I sort of wish I had references fragrances to really see if I can smell these things...but that's a rabbit hole I don't want to go down.

And for my gamblers and blind buyers - I thought this Reddit Seller (decent rep) had something pretty cool

Pressurized Atomizers!





My dream bottle would have a magnetic cap, pressurized atomizer, and only 30 mls...

SOTD - Double Attack

Double Attack | Luxury Chocolate Bourbon Perfume with Vanilla

Double Attack utilizes the multifaceted scent of luxury chocolate to deliver a medley of bourbon, vanilla, & woody notes that drive the fragrance. Order online.

www.mindgamesfragrance.com

Leaning to a gourmand scent (of course)) with the light but powerful chocolate notes that really pop once it settles in. The opening will slightly kick u in da ass like Uncle Phil if he seen Will layin' round the crib too much wit it's bitter orange(s). I get the sweet agave bobbin & weaving here & there on the Mayweather tip---stronger on some areas of the skin vs others. The sandalwood pullin' up at the end help balance it out so it's not too mf sweet on sum smellin' like a cookie or chocolate bar type shyt. Projection ain't stupid strong but it pops.

Not sure about the price point on a full bottle tho. Seem like they prolly craccin for the packaging & design more than anything. But overall, Im enjoying it so far.
