This smells like a candle that smells like expensive paper.

That's it.

Very non offensive.
Could be worn everyday.


This is supposed to be a Parfum intense concentration. :skip:



It last all day but sits close to the skin.

Man i be trying to not overspray. Im new to this. How many sprays yall use?
Unfortunately it depends on the fragrance. And you can't even go by concentration.
There's no real rule of thumb that says "spray EDP 6 times" and "spray Parfum 2 times"

I'm in the range of 4-6 for most of my fragrances.
But there are some that I treat with only 2-3.

I can spray YSL Y 5 or 6 or even 7 times and be fine.
Mancera Cedrat Boise annoys the hell out of me if I go more than 2.5 or 3 sprays.

I've seen people online say that if you have Sauvage Elixir, you're looking at 2 sprays, maximum.

But I would also say it depends where you're going to be. In someone's small apartment? Probably don't need 6 sprays. Going to NYC to walk around Bryant Park and have hot chocolate and ice skating? You could probably afford to go a little heavier.

read the reviews of the perfume on fragrantica and you'll have a good idea of how many sprays that particular juice needs.

SOTD - Federico Cantelli - Ambra e Tobacco

large-8054188205674-0.jpg

Another name jumped out at me. Amber and Tobacco.

Nice little blend, not super strong. I'd put it up against Burberry London (richer) and PDM Herod (drier, more distinctive). But it's in that family of scents
50 mls for 54 Euros - so it's priced like a designer, maybe even a bit cheaper.

By the way I finally tried Creed Aventus at a perfume store I visited yesterday.......and I was underwhelmed. The hype over the years did not match the scent I was smelling. I'm glad I never blind bought it
I'll just say this....the new batches are trash. The OG batches (2010-2015) are the gold mines if you can find them. The company has been bought out 2-3 times and keeps reformulating it, making it weaker and more different than the OG. I'll say try to get the cheaper clone with the 13zz01 batch tag somewhere on it.

Scentual Obsessions has the closest to the OG IMO.

Since we talking about social media influencers.

Anybody remember a cat he always use to wear hats, dark skin brother think his name was JT or something. Was looking for a video of his I saw in the past on a fragrance I was interested in but couldn't find his channel.

Probably stopped making videos like dradoc, pulz points, and coachrob.
Found the cat I was talking about dude name wasn't JT it was CJ.

Look like he slowed down on buying fragrances.

My routine that works for me is that I buy a new bottle after I finish every 3 bottles per season category.

Glad he's coming to grips with his own addiction.

But keeping the top 3 in 8 categories - sounds to me lie he's really trying to cope.

I thought the same thing. Seem like a cool dude beside that. He wasn't originally a fragrance reviewer I went back on dude channel and saw he started off as like a battle rapper, then moved to sneaker head content then later fragrances.

He made a similar video about sneakers 8 years ago.
