Entry Level - Own - 3 out of the 1st 4, heard of all 4
High End - Own 6 out of 8 - might have to peep Qhue Provenance.
Hidden Gems - Own 3 out 4 - Fortitude by Robert Graham is new to me
Holy Grail - 2 out of 3. - Tobacco Oud is in his holy grail, nice

Vintage Tabarome? Wow. didn't even know that existed.

Pretty good list TBH.

There are a couple from Slumberhouse that I was expecting, but they didn't show up.

I've been meaning to do a post on tobacco, hmm
That Robert graham smells really good.

It's an old hype beast. The guy who makes the stuff is a real "artiste" - the "e" is there because he's extra.


Last post was in 2022.
I don't know the brand. I've read that their stuff is kind of out there and difficult to wear.

I only see Slumberhouse in comment sections on Reddit, or random forum posts.

Actually, somebody here has Kiste or Jeke. I was up on Jeke but not Kiste. (should have the samples in a week or so)

Speaking of Slumberhouse

They really want a pretty penny for these joints.

SOTD - CB I HATE PERFUME - Smoky Tobacco


I have a 2ml of the absolute. It's a small vial, not even a dabber. One of them joints that got me thinking I should buy some perfumer's alcohol and hook do this some justice.

The smell - this is one of the nicer (and longer lasting) tobacco's that I have. It's definitely in the hidden gem/neva hurdofdat type a scent.

Specifically it smells like somebody mashed up baby powder and tobacco. I don't know how, but it's a perfect beginner indie tobacco scent.

80 bucks for 15mls of just straight oil?
130 bucks for 100 mls of a water based cologne?

Man I dunno.

I would cop, but Megamillions keep tripping, so....

Néroli Botanica
By Anne Flipo


Essential-Parfums-Neroli-Botanica-15.webp


The orange blossom, that white bud with a thousand subtle nuances, is at the heart of the creation and inspiration of master-perfumer Anne Flipo.

Spicy and vibrant at opening, the fragrance burst with notes of curcuma leaf & ginger studded with a duo of pink and black peppers. Gloriously enhanced with neroli and Sambac jasmine, the orange blossom unleashes all its floral strength. Its solar and voluptuous facets blends with the green & velvety woody base notes of vetiver & sandalwood, both labelled with the sustainable label “For Life”.

Eau de Parfum concentrated at 17% – Alcohol made of Beetroot – Without Coloring – 90% Natural – Unisex.
Cruelty free / not tested on animals – Vegan – Phthalate free

-----------------------------



*I like this. This smells like neroli fabric softener. This doesn't really last long tho.

This brand has 6 samples in the mystery box I got. I can tell this brand overpriced, low tier wanting to be fake niche when it's generic designer quality.

This one is ok. I smell neroli and suede. It kinda smells cheap like you bought it at Sears.
