Yeah, I want to check it out. But I was wondering if there are any other good ones in the sample set. If not, then I can just get the African Leather decant from decantx.
Whats the rest in the sample pack? Most of them are other types of leather frags( Russian, Italian, Iberian, Ocean, Sicilian, Oriental, Moroccan, French) African leather is so good I ended up getting Maison Alhambra's Afro Leather too.

SOTD - Savoir Faire Ascension - The Discovery Set is in and this is the first to get some burn.

This is ARTISTIC, niche perfumery. I get a clean, your skin but better, less metallic, Another 13 by Le Labo. There’s something ethereal about it.

Pear musk, fresh earth and fig give it a primal, but not animalic energy. Bergamot and other florals keep it clean and approachable, day time friendly. Think clean laundry before having sex. As with Soul Cafe everything is well blended, but once you pick up the right combo of notes, you get it. Can’t wait for this to macerate more to see how it develops.

How do you pick a cologne? Other than trial and error, how do I know what is good for me?

It will always be trial and error.

Buy 2ml samples, spray them on you, holla at broads.

That's it. If broads react positively on a regular basis, that's the one for you.

If you're wondering where to start, just put your nose on the top designers at the department store.

Dior - Sauvage
Chanel - Bleu de Chanel
Versace - Eros
Versace - Dylan Blue
Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Male (there's a whole series of these)
YSL - Myslf
Valentino - Born in Roma Intense
Armani - Acqua di Gio
Burberry - Hero

etc.

I like the Bohoboco house.
I have Magic Mushroom, which is fire and Red Wine Brown Sugar.

I was leery about trying Sea Salt Caramel, just off Sea being in the name and seaweed being a note. I haven't smelled it yet.
Yea that sea salt and caramel caught my interest for the summer. Like a gourmand aquatic.
