Yep - it's top of the ladder for me. I'm not sure if I'm gonna phrase this right, but make sure you wear it a few times before you purchase - I have friends who like it out of the bottle, like it on other people, but fukking hate it on their own skin. It unfortunately (maybe fortunately, tbh) doesn't seem to sit well on some guys.

I've always got a couple of bottles in my cupboard, and also keep a bottle at my ma's house & my bro's also. I know it will always work for me!!

I've probably got too many bottles at my place now, so I'll happily donate one to you if you get on well with wearing it, but it might take a couple of weeks to arrive from Australia. The postal service here is fukking WACK.
I recalled liking it back in the day, but I thought it was too mature for me to wear back then(mid 20's). Now im in my mid 30's and my nose has matured and the scent profile now fits my personality and how I dress now.

Definitely agree that it's a scent that works better once you hit a certain stage life.

In my 20s, what I wore had to be fresh, probably a bit more 'zingy' for want of a much better word!!

I think I have unopened & boxed bottles of it back in Sydney - I'll check when I get back there in a couple of weeks that I'm not misremembering, and if so you're quite welcome to one.

3I've traveled quite a lot over the last few months, and it's now a default setting in my brain to pick up a bottle of it when I go through the duty free. Need to change it up and expand my current rotation, I think!!!

Oh fa sho, i will def send you some money as well for the bottle. Sometimes you got to switch up, but you also got to stay with the frags that you know works well for you.

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

just ordered a decant of Sauvage Elixer

I had ordered the regular Sauvage too earlier last month, so I will be able to compare the two

thanks for your suggestions breh

also I have Burberry Touch, how does that compare in smell to Burberry Hero ?

Totally agree - I was looking for something completely different when I first bought Terre, so looking broader than just my usual go-to purchases is something I start needing to do more of again.

Don't worry about the money, but if you do feel that you want to do that then I'd prefer that you send it to a cause or charity org that you'd support. I'll reply to one of these posts when I'm back home in a couple of weeks.
