Streets been kinda quiet. I think the last joint to really put your nose on was Perseus by PDM.

All the latest "fresh joints" been kinda meh to me
  • JPG - Le Beau Paradise
  • JPG - Le Male Lovers
  • Valentino - Born in Roma Greenstravaganza
  • Armani - Profondo EDP 2024
  • Polo '67
  • Armani - Profondo Parfum* (haven't copped this yet, but not in a rush either)

With respect to the big niche houses (PDM, Nishane, Creed, Amouage, Creed), not seeing much other than the aforementioned Perseus. Surprised that Byredo/Le Labo or the other minimalist brands haven't dropped something to get the block hot.

Now's the time to dig in the crates I guess.
You're right.
I have a decant of Perseus.
Out of the ones you posted above maybe Le Beau Paradise interests me.

I don't even know what Le Male Lovers is. I'll have to look that up.
Thanks chief

Wish I grabbed a sample when I got a bottle of the Bacchus of Triumph (shyt a lil more sweet than what I'd like but it's still cool---got layering options wit it) and a sample of the Birth of Venus which is real smooth. @WIA20XX gonna say we took that checc tho but fucc it yanno

Overall, I like this. It's a good spring/summer day in high heat wear. It's got a fruity/salty thing goin' on, especially with the open---shyt was giving off big Starry/Sprite vibes. After awhile, it kind of gives off a scent of a nicca being at sea or something.

This shyt def has some bite to it. The grapefruit carry is initially but then the ginger kick in real subtle like. I had higher hopes for the coffee/tea at the heart but the rum is refined & pick up the slack. Def more of a fresh tobacco smell opposed to a dry one.

Don't know if I fux wit either of these more than I do Viking & Millesime Imperial tho.

SOTD-Bond #9 Scent of Peace

This is so calming and relaxing
Guess you can say it’s peaceful :pachaha:

Seriously though I got a bottle of it and I love it. Reminds me of New Orleans right before Covid cause that’s where I first smelled it

* This the other fragrance I got from my Scentbird subscription.

I had small samples of this but wanted to get this larger size and determine if I will buy a full bottle.


The mint in this is :noah: I think I'm going to get a bottle.
I did the same with The Ghost in the Shell and it changed my opinion on the whole fragrance. I thought maybe something was wrong with the liquid Scentbird sent but I went back and smelled the other samples I had and felt the same way.

It's not just that, its chill and doesn't get sharp/aggressive at all. The pineapple opening and cedar dry down is just really smooth but last a good 5-6 hours on me.

What you think of Burberry Hero EDP?
This is fire. I havent smelled the Parfum but im sold on the EDP. Also I had to get Creed Aventus off that Costco sale because I know it won't be $250 for a while and I want it for the summer.
