African Rooibos is a wow scent for me.
I only got a 2ml decant but I already know I'm reupping for 5 or 10 ml


:banderas:

My instinct says this is kind of an intimate scent. I wouldn't spray heavy. But any lady who gets close to you is gonna catch a whiff of this and 🥰

I really like this.
A lot.

The breh Chris Collins isn't messing about..
Hear great things about Oud Galore..

Copied and pasted some scents from my collection into Claude.AI and asked it give me some layering combinations and even a suggested spray routine based off the notes :ehh:. Gonna try one out today before I report back.

Lovesuede + Ascension: Both have fresh, green elements that would harmonize - the aquatic accord in Lovesuede would complement Ascension's fresh earth and papyrus. They also share fig and bergamot notes. The leather from Lovesuede would add depth while keeping the overall combination relatively light and wearable for daytime.
  • Start with 2-3 sprays of Lovesuede across chest and shoulders
  • Layer 2 sprays of Ascension on pulse points
  • Safe for closer application since these are lighter fragrances
  • Can be refreshed midday with a single spray of Ascension

Yeah I am tempted to try this.
I just don't know if I'm a Rose + Oud guy.

I guess that's the whole point of getting a decant.
Screw it. I'll check for this after Christmas.

I'm not an Oud man myself, it's just too offensive..but when done subtly could work.

Scam--- Yes

Based on playing on people's need to use merchandise classism.

The perception of the quality by the brand and consumers being based off the price point makes the scam work.


As far as notes: there are some notes that literally don't exist and you will never get anything to smell like it. Fig is a note that is used and almost always smells like the leaves of the fig tree or the tree itself.
Manos Gerakinis: MEΘEXIS The only fragrance I have with Fig as a note that has a fig fruit type scent. And even then, it is cheating because it has black currant and dried fruits as notes also. All other Fig note frangrances I have smell like green leaves or trees.


Expensive prefume a scam, especially when this shyt now in Parfum concentration don't even last as long as EDT concentration like 2005 and earlier.

That's why I buy shyt at a certain price point that I know is good and get shyt I can from discounters. The top famous brands everybody gas up, I don't even consider.

The fact that niche and even designer scents cost over $200 but don't project and carry sillage is what irks me. It's foul as hell to sell a fragrance for over $200 dollars that doesn't announce itself. Creed is basically finished because of this.

Once these off brand fragrance houses figured out how cheap the scent oils were in Turkey it was game over. Now you have clones that project more than the originals.

When I walk in any venue I want my sillage and projection on SUPER. The fukk I look like paying $240 for a bottle of cologne that only I can smell on me. No I want your woman, her auntie, and her friend telling me I smell nice. Yea I buy because I like the smell, but I want em to know that I got some live shyt on.

This is like saying "if I spend $500 for boots, I want everyone to tell me I have nice boots on"

I understand. But it doesn't work that way.

The crazy thing about it is you have clowns on Youtube fighting for the companies saying shyt like "Just b/c you paid $400-$600 for a fragrance doesn't mean it's supposed to last all day long" GTFOH. Look I'm not asking shyt to last 15-20 hours....nah I'm lying I am for $400, but I'll be damned if I pay that amount of bread and the shyt last barely 3 hours. Clone houses have figured the shyt out and know the formula now.
