brehs lets talk cologne game

[Trav]

what's your #1 cologne that makes women

it's still bleu de chanel EDP outta my modest collection. i stopped buying a while ago, til i finish a bottle. but thinking about adding one or two more for the spring

I switch too much to track this fr. Don't think I've worn the same thing more than a couple days in a row plus I'm always foolin' around wit da layering.

But, I did have this lady say aloud she smelled a "man in the room" the other day, little did she know I was only wearing da 1 Million Lucky

But I've got compliments this year from everything from Versace Pour Homme, Checkmate (Mindgames), Tiziana Terenzi Tuttle, Jazz Club, Tiziana Terenzi Andromeda, Polo 67, Michael Malul Citizen Jack Absolute, Oceanic Symphony/Bitter Peach combo, and prob more. Out of them all, I'd say Checkmate prolly never fails fr

SOTD - Pineward - Apple Tabac

Apple Tabac

Notes: fresh red apple, tobacco, fir balsam, rum resin, dried fruits. A bite of crisp red fall-harvest apples and burley cavendish, a golden brown...

Notes: fresh red apple, tobacco, fir balsam, rum resin, dried fruits.

It's all there. Apple is in the top, but 3 hours into it, I can't detect it at all anymore. The dry down leans heavy into the fir balsam/rum resin (I'm assuming - it's very woody and resin-y). It's not unpleasant but it's not something I'd cop this scent for.

What's a fragrance ya'll feel lived up to it's hype when you finally got a chance to try it?

For me I will say Bleu De Chanel and Versace Eros.

Both designer and mass appealing but I love em.

Yes - was hyped and lived up to what they said it was...(some of these I like a lot, but not all)

• Musc Ravageur
• Green Irish Tweed
• Herod
• SWY Absolutely

• Oud Satin Mood
• T-Rex
• Royal Tobacco
• Bohemian Lime
• Followed
• Megamare
• Cedrat Boise
• Explorer
• Sel Marin
• Oud for Greatness
• La Tacita de Cafe

No - hyped on YT, IG, Forums, Reddit, Tik Tok - and are totally fine, but nothing that I'd kick an old man down a flight of stairs for. A lot of these don't smell like I've been lead to believe that they smell, or don't smell particularly distinctive, or as "good" as folks want you to believe.

• Santal 33
• Bacarrat Rouge 540
• Aventus
• Layton (all the hyped ones imo.)
• Bentley Intense
• Tuxedo
• Allure Homme Sport EauExtreme
• Blue Electrique

In terms of hype that I can recall, I still haven't copped Savoir Faire

That second list you were out for blood. Got BDC parfum, Aventus, Baccarat Rouge 540, Oud Wood, Tuscan Leather, and Layton. Not all of those are my style personally but I get why people love them so much. Like Oud wood to me is the perfect office scent.

Your yes list is dope though.

@WIA20XX

That's a good list.

I haven't sampled Musc Ravageur yet but I want to.
Oud Satin Mood is another I want to try.

From the ones you were not wowed by:

I really like Layton but over time I've come to feel the price isn't worth it. If it retailed $120 I'd say it was fair. But I do have a full bottle I got at a discount so I like it more than most.

Luminous Night bothers me because I saw a lot of hype about it. You just can't find it anywhere. And I feel like that's why it's hyped. If you could buy it at Macy's it would be just another fragrance.

I KINDA want to try Ganymede. But I am not going out of my way for it.

I would sample Gris Charnel if I saw it at a store. I'm just avoiding getting a decant online because I've heard so much about it being unisex that I doubt it's for me. I really tend to like definitely masculine fragrances. Not necessarily outright man shyt...like those OG colognes like Brut. But I don't really love those fragrances that are 50/50 male-female.

Of course I say that and I still want to try Oud Satin Mood so maybe I'm full of shyt.

The only MFK I can pick up on myself throughout the day is Bacarat Rouge 540..
Gentle Fluidity not even..nose blindness??

It could be your body chemistry with those fragrances also to the reason why you can not smell them.

I have 5 bottles of MFK's (Oud Satin Mood, Gentle Fluidity, Grand Soir, Amyris Homme & Aqua Celestia Forte) and I can pick up the smell all day. I'm pretty hypersensitive to smells also, I work the chemical field and I smell stuff all the time, so I pretty hypersensitive to smells.
