If you gonna spend bread Delina Xclusif

Ordered a few decants
A couple of Guerlain L'Homme Ideals that have been on the list for 6 months.
By Killian - Apple Brandy on the Rocks
Amouage - Enclave
I've got 40 Knots in the cart...thinking about it.
Not sure if I want to try Beach Hut Man. I'm not huge on green fragrances and that seems to be the signature here from what I'm reading. I didn't care for that green note in Xerjoff Nio so if that's the road I'm going down with Beech Hut....no thanks.

Musk Tahara- Tahara Vanilla
A fragrance that screams with its strong and harmonious ingredients that catches the eye from the first spray, as it combines two different sensations. Excessive strength, and tyrannical softness. It opens with a velvety touch of rose and the freshness of jasmine blossoms, and the notes of iris and amber scramble to reveal a strong independent personality of vanilla infused with musk to refresh your flamboyant summer and immerse you in a sense of cleanliness.
Top Notes: Fruity, Green
Heart Notes: Vanilla, Jasmine, Lily Of The Valley
Base Notes: Ambery, Musk, Tonka
-------------------------------------------------------------------
*This smells like a powdery, musky, vanilla.
I just put on my decant of Bond 9 Greenwich Village, I wouldn't reccomend it, not feeling it personally
also I have this big a$$ bottle of Invictus Platinum that's only been sprayed like five times
I'm willing to sell it in the beginning of July if anybody is interested
edit...what happened was I liked the sample of Invictus Platinum when I tried it, then I bought a big a$$ bottle and didn't like it
like I said I'm willing to sell it for dumb cheap, I'm just not using Amazon or Ebay

The OG is a lot like Tygar and L'Immensite (and something else with ginger and citrus), but it has some sandalwood as well.

The Scoop
Ancient ink in the summer sun, #2 is a study in contrasts. Based on the legendary Sumi ink made in the temples of Japan, this seductive fragrance blends the seared wood notes of Sumi with spiritual scents of incense, patchouli and amber, then takes a turn toward the shiny n' happy with the bright notes of magnolia and ripe, fresh new aldehydes (orange and mandarin). We smell something different every time we wear this-it falls somewhere between a mighty Samurai and a humble priest with a jones for gardening. CdG #2 is presented in a silvered, reflective bottle that made Time Asia's Top 10 designs for 1999.
2 Fragrance Notes
Japanese Sumi ink, incense, patchouli, cedarwood, angelica root, vetiver, magnolia, amber, labdanum, new aldehydes, cumin, cade oil, absolute maté, abslolute folia
---------------------------------------
*This kinda basic.
It disappears off skin quickly. Does better on clothing. On clothes, I smell the ink accord and it's sorta like stale woods and smoky.

Any recommendations for a fragrance with a strong chocolate profile?
Undisputed chocolate king IMO
This one is more blueberry muffin with a dark chocolate mid/dry down

I've worn Terre d'Hermes Eau Givree many times now and I have to admit that it's a fragrance I don't entirely love.
It's not bad at all.
I certainly enjoyed the decant when I had it. But now that I have the bottle, I find it hard to reach for.
I really think I prefer the Terre d'Hermes Parfum. I just think the orange makes such a difference in giving it some more balance.
The citron and juniper berry of Eau Givree just gives it this coldness or tartness or...I don't know what the word is....you know how if you're drinking gin, you need something else to balance it out? It's like that. This is why gin and tonic is served with a lime or a lemon. You need something else to cut it. I think that's what I'm missing with Eau Givree.
That's kinda why I've been reaching more for GnTonic by Micallef and other things.
Kinda been wearing Pacific Rock Moss a bit lately too.
