Mancera- affordable niche house. Excellent performance on most of their fragrances.

Perfums d marly- fantastic quality

Atelier cologne- affordable alternative to creed in terms of fresh fragrances

Byredo- great offerings

Le labo- expensive but worth it if you find the ones you like.

Do you ever buy off of sites like fragrancenet or only in stores like nordstroms

A couple of other observations I've had:
Ferragamo Uomo - super sweet, like some kind of cake frosting. Smells great initially but too sweet for my liking.

Valentino Uomo - smells like a dior homme clone

Azzaro wanted by night - really enjoyed it, but ultimately it smells too similar for la nuit, which I already own, for me to really want to get this immediately.

jpg ultra male - nice, fruity type smell along the lines of 1 million or wanted by night... it's in that family

T'erre de hermes - some interesting orange smell. there was some flanker I really liked that came in a slim orange container. That flanker is something I definitely would like to cop down the line.

1 million prive - Although I'm trying to get away from the sweet smelling stuff, I really liked this.

Thoughts on niche vs designer... niche doesn't necessarily smell that much better. They are a bit more unique though and smell more natural... as in you don't really smell as much alcohol or that 'cologne chemical' that you will find in cheaper colognes. If you're starting off, I'd recommend avoiding niche because designers will get you just as many if not more compliments. Go into niche if you're a collector and want something different.

I do my research first then I order 2-5 ml samples online and if I like it only then do I purchase it online from a reputable seller like Selfridge's,Nordstrom etc. eBay is risky as hell

My favorite of his line! (Tip: For winter scents, lean towards notes in the oriental family/group: cinnamon, clove, vanilla, pepper, mace, nutmeg etc)

This one is slept on :wow:

Yea ebay or even a site like fragrancenet can be risky. Thank God that I've been able to buy several bottles off of ebay, and the only one that smelled off to me was silver mountain water and that might have been due to batch issues.

Just got a bottle of Creed Viking. It's fairly interesting, but I'd be mad if I spent $500 for it.

I see lot of cats rocking with us..... I haven't been here in a min I don't get the alerts for some reason.

Def check out the John Varvatos JV X NJ - Crappy reviews but its knocking....

Click the bottles the coli check out code still works!




Also for tom Ford Fans we just stocked this. Both of these fragrances are very strong and project well. Not for brothers that want subtle

Y'all ain't on my level when it comes to this cologne game :wow:

I have a decent collection but they all bangers. :wow:

If you into sweet, fruity type fragrances (:dame:) try "Mula Mula" by Byron Parfums and thank me later :wow:

It's a Indy niche house so you won't be smelling like the next man.

It smells like sweet fruit, caramel and vanilla with some woods in the base.

Copped Mula Mula, shyts fuego :banderas:
Hold this rep and feed the coli with other bangers :youngsabo:

What's aventus smell like?

And from what u wore what's your order from best to worse of creed?



Aventus is their most popular scent but I prefer Virgin Island Water. Its perfect for the spring/summer.

Can anyone recommend a site for good perfume oils?
