Anybody ever tried the Creed Aventus soap? I’m thinking about ordering some. If I use the soap should i add cologne of is that too much for office environment?

Usually the cologne soaps only smell like the cologne while you're taking a shower, lol. I've yet to try one that was like "Irish Spring". Lotions tend to be a little better, but if you want the scent for a long time - spray it on your skin and on your clothes.

Aventus by itself is a pretty strong/distinct scent, so you wouldn't need the soap. But even if you added the soap, it wouldn't really take a fragrance that's already a 8 on projection to a 10.

Xerjoff Naxos is one of the best fragrances I ever smelled yet I'm not sure if I would want to wear it myself.

I don't think it fits my personality.


Think I'm going to wait until January to cop any new fragrances I know Amazon, UPS, Fedex and Postal workers usually are worked to the bone around Christmas time, and I don't want to add to that.

It's certain things I no longer buy off Amazon..I learned the hard way.

Sneakers, clothing and Fragrances are to be bought direct or off trusted resellers.

When it comes to fragrance influencers in fragcom I would imagine going off looks and personaility my taste would be closer to Justin Copeland and BBB but I tend to have similar taste to Tazzo the reviewer and The Perfume guy. BBB i think is originally from Florida too like myself but a lot of stuff he like I'm not a fan personally.

I wanted to buy the perfume guy's mystery box earlier but it's sold out. I trust dude's nose. A mysterybox of samples for customers to buy is a great idea wish more discounter/third party company's did mystery boxes. I know fragrancelord.com does mystery boxes too for $24 but they're sold out currently of men boxes. I know retail you can buy sample/discovery sets but a mystery boxes your able to sample from multiple fragrance houses. A reputable company, perfumer, or hobbyist could probably make something like that subscription based for the die hard fragheads.


SOTD - Mancera -Hindu Kush


Anyone own or sampled anything from Boadicea the Victorious?

I heard, Nemers, Glorious as well as Hanuman are extremely good. For you cats that like Kevin samuels he got a whole video on this house up on youtube.

Yea BTV is way out of my wheelhouse when it comes to full bottles but I have gotten a few decants and scentsplit joints. They are great but IMO not worth the price. You just paying for the 14K plated bottle ($1200 for Hanuman is crazy) . The ones I have are below (5mL samples)
Valiant
Faith
Bodacious
Blue Sapphire
Tobacco Sapphire
Aqua Sapphire
Knight Of Love
The King
Ice Twist
Darien (Bowtie) loves it and collects them like Pokemon. That Zodiac collection alone...:picard:

I see a couple selling for around a buck 30 on fragrancebuy.ca I wouldn't blind buy need to sample first not familiar with the house at all just recently heard about them. You said they're great but not worth the price? What would you think would be a fair price based on some of the ones you got decants on?

Darien seems like a cool cat I remember watching some of his older videos when he was like in his back yard or somewhere. But you're right about these die hard collectors. I see some people they double buy the same fragrance just to have a back up bottle. I don't want my collection to be that big.

Going to look up the notes on the list you dropped too, who knows might sample a few.
