SOTD - Oud & Bergamot Intense / Citizen Jack Absolute

Actually like this better than pairing two different kind of ouds together. Citizen is so good on the low. Has so many layering options and is so smooth.



wearing my Versace Eros since it's cold

can any of my cologne brehs reccomend another bottle of cologne for winter

I would prefer recommendations from Macy's and JC Penny

but I will welcome all suggestions, I don't mind wearing colognes that are not mainstream

I would personally try to find what cha lookin' for somewhere else other than Macy's as you're likely to find it cheaper but I get the whole convenience of it all too, just sayin' :hubie:

I would also go in the store and go spray crazy with their testers.

Anyways, along your lines...

Spice bomb - Can't go wrong with Cinnamon/Vanilla for the winter then add in sum tobacco to give it sum kick.

YSL L'Homme or La De Nuit L'homme - I prefer the former, and it provides more flexibility to me and I like the ginger but my lady and many others prefer Nuit.

Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee - Transition is very warm and winter friendly. Don't know how you feel about a bit booziness for ya troubles. If that ain't ya thing, then maybe Stronger With You or one of their flankers.




Now, when you're ready to go down the Oud 🐰 hole with me, I'll be waiting :mjlit:

does it have a masculine smell, where do I get this

also what do you think about Dior Sauvage ?

Immerse yourself in the captivating essence of the Gisada Ambassador, a sophisticated men's fragrance. Introduced in 2019 by the esteemed design house of Gisada, this woody aromatic scent is a testament to the modern man's refined taste and elegance. A blend of exotic and familiar notes encapsulates the spirit of the Ambassador fragrance, making it an essential addition to any man's collection.

The top notes of this fragrance are a crisp and refreshing combination of apple, green mandarin, cardamom, and violet. This invigorating start is soon met with a heart filled with the tropical sweetness of mango, complemented by soothing lavender, spicy black pepper, earthy patchouli, and delicate peony. As the fragrance settles, warm base notes of vanilla, amber, vetiver, teak wood, and moss add a comforting depth, creating a multifaceted fragrance that is both enticing and enduring.

Presented in a 3.4 oz tester, the Gisada Men's Ambassador EDP Spray offers a generous amount of this unique fragrance. Each spray releases a captivating sillage that is sure to turn heads and garner compliments. The Ambassador fragrance is truly a symbol of style, sophistication, and masculinity. Its barcode, 7640164030395, assures its authenticity, making it a trustworthy choice for those seeking quality and refinement.

Whether for a classy evening event or a casual day about town, the Gisada Ambassador is an ideal choice. It's more than just a fragrance, it's a statement of individuality and suave confidence. Embrace the alluring charm of the Gisada Ambassador and let your scent speak volumes about your discerning taste.

off the top its a spicy fruity hit, not sure if thats your bag. but i love this smell. the dry down is more masculine but you'll still smell mango.



Dior Sauvage smells good to me, i would get the EDP or Parfum for my personal taste.

Sample your fragrances as Macy's or Sephora, if your JC Penney has one. Find the scent you like there, but then shop online (Jomashop, MaxAroma, Fragrance buy.ca, Amazon, etc.) for the best price.
Macy's will tax you for the same scent you can find much cheaper elsewhere.

SOTD - Slumberhouse - Jeke

Damn. I'm trying to keep my expectations in check, but I've been trying to grab this joint for like 3 years. Slumberhouse doesn't even seem to make fragrances anymore.

The first few minutes in - it's a mix of that leafy tobacco/wet tobacco/green tobacco - that's in Tabac 28 and Habanos.
10 minutes into it, and I'm getting smoke/incense vibes ala Royal Tobacco.
There's a background/mid ground sweetness that's playing with/fighting with the tobacco.

Doing the background on this joint, apparently the perfumer has revised this a few times, and what I have is the 2022 version (which I've never seen a full bottle for sale)

Notes - Tobacco, amber, honey, rum, vanilla, clove, caramel, whiskey, benzoin, smoke [and aromatic curing materials.]

I think I'm getting all of this.

Ending the work day, and this was pretty solid. 9/10.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a bottle of Kiste from Slumberhouse and man that is the most powerful honey I've ever smelled. The tobacco and peach just compliments the honey so damn good its ridiculous. I only wear it when it bitter cold outside which is rare. It might get 1-2 wearing from me throughout the year but guarantee every time I wear it people ask me what I'm wearing. Absolutely beautiful monster of a fragrance. 1-2 sprays is all you need. It was so good I even got FBO's version of the rollerball/shea butter and its dead on.

SOTD-French Defense/Fève Délicieuse.

I went to Macy's today and sampled the Spice Bomb called Night Vision, it smells great, I will definitely be copping a bottle soon
Might be the only person I've ever seen to big up Night Vision. That's the one I dislike.


In terms of fall/winter scents at Macy's,
  • Valentino Born in Roma series
  • Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male series
  • Burberry Hero
  • Azzaro Most Wanted
  • Dior Sauvage ELIXIR
  • The One Million series
  • Tom Ford Noir Extreme
  • Armani Stronger With You series
  • Hugo Boss Bottled Series

Wasn’t a fan of that at all. The edp version smells better imo. But even that one just smells wanted by night from azzarro.
