I'm wearing my 1 Million Lucky

even though it's cold and raining I didn't want to wear a winter cologne today, for example Versace Blue Jean's, 1 Million the Elixer, and my Burberry Touch

Just picked up D&G The One Gold, EDP Intense.

$140 from Macy’s off Powell in SF.

Quick update: performance isn’t all that.

Idk man, my last couple colognes have had poor performance. I will no longer be copping from Macy’s at random.

I will do my research on Fragentica before purchasing from now.

Maybe this perfume houses are just cheaping out. 79% alcohol content for a EDP intense seems weak.

Where am I going wrong brehs? What should I be looking for? Should I go to Parfum now?

I’ll spend money on a good scent, but it should last.

Open to any suggestions.

Initio atomic rose & MFK satin oud is a banger .

Imma try that kahmara and stronger with you intensely will report back .

Also a banger was liquid brun & amethyst by lataffa .

Soon as I walked in I got a complimented but that joint lasted 12 hours goodness lol .

I have MFK Oud Satin Mood, I was thinking about picking up Initio Atomic Rose. I get a lot of compliments from women when I wear my Oud Satin Moon.

To you, how does Atomic Rose compare to Oud Satin Mood?

I was researching on Fragrantica and making purchases based on reviews and still wasn't quite happy with some of the stuff I was buying.
For me, what works the best is: (1) make a short list fragrances based on Fragrantica, youtube reviews and sometimes this thread, (2) buy 5-10 different cologne decants to test them out, (3) then purchase the scents I really like after I've tested them.
