How u like dat?
I enjoy it a lot. The opening is best part part of wearing. Opens with a fresh lighty spiced fresh blood orange juice accord.Dry down is similar to Pure Havane if you smelled that one. Orange chocolate patchouli base. Nice to wear casually in the between seasons of spring and summer.

I've always had a good nose for scents, I was just always broke. These are the ones I have

Chanel- Bleu de Chanel Parfum
Gucci- Gucci Guilty Parfum
Giorgio Armani- Acqua di Gio Absolu (this is my third bottle and i'm sad it's being discontinued, i'm gonna buy one more)

These are the ones I'm looking at getting and I have a cap of 10 scents, trying to have variety:

Creed Aventus/Aventus Absolu/Aventus Cologne
Creed Silver Mountain Water
Burberry Hero
Chanel Allure Homme Eau Extreme
LV Afternoon Swim
LV L'Immensite
MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver
PDM Layton
PDM Percival (just got a recommendation from a female)


I be watch YT, but I gotta smell it before I buy it.

*This pretty good. This kinda like Intense Cafe but less powdery. I never smell anything "cafe" in Intense Cafe so to me, it's mostly a powdery rose. This slightly citric. I don't get the cherry or violet. But I do get some vanilla. This way overpriced.

I have 5mls of all of these except the Aventus Flankers. All of them are definitely nice.

I definitely rock with
  1. Burberry Hero EDP
  2. LV Afternoon Swim
  3. L'Immensite

Hero is amazing. I have it slated to be my Acqua di Gio replacement. My next purchase will be one of the Creeds. that's a final decision already.

and no toilet water. EDP or Parfum only.

For brehs that dont want to spend $150, $230, $350 on cologne( as alot of us have, it's not about price but also your body chemistry), especially you who just starting your career...

eat more veggies, less or no red meat(birds and fish, maybe a goat or sheep here and there), basically eat clean

Coconut Oil as lotion + Gillete or Old Spice deoderant + essential oils(that match well with your natural scent) + dry shampoo(like when you just leave hte barber shop, you can order some of those)

Mix these together and the results are better than the cologne. Dont bathe in these scents, they should only smell it when they're in hugging/hand holding distance

When I first started doing ball room latin dance this worked like a charm. I was just learning so I wasn't great with the moves yet, but the ladies loved to dance with a breh just based off the smell.
