I used to fukk one of the sales women at the Barney’s here. She always was bringing home testers and decants of those expensive ass colognes.
Man,

There is a lot of garbage there in the high end section of fragrances. Some of those LeLabo and Byredo scents are rehashed , expensive versions of scents you can buy at a Sephora or Macy’s. I kid you not, one of the fragrances they sprayed at the counter smelled like Raid roach spray.

Yea. Bond number 9 was the one that’s absolutely ridiculous for me. Nothing was too unique, and they want an arm and a leg for bottles. I used to have a 10 dollar Michael Jordan cologne that smelled almost exactly like new Harlem. Just absurd. Couldn’t complain about free shyt though. I liked a lot of the serge Lutens stuff, but it’s so fukking hot here they are tough to wear

Serge Lutens smells great! There’s one fragrance they make, I can’t recall the name but it smells like Noir Ottoman candles by Kilian. It’s a rose and leather scent. A former colleague of mine put me into that House. Good shyt breh.

every day summer - acqua di gio
every day winter - polo black

guarantee the goods on both

Should've come here for pre-selection instead of blind YT searches. BTW the bottle/package quality on the 100 vs 200 are wild different. :dahell:


Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani 100ml EDT
Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani 200ml EDT

I get paid fortnightly so I'll scoop the Polo next week.

I copped that a few months back, I get decent longevity out of it and I only use three sprays or so (neck/chest and wrists). I don't like smelling too loud though,
I like the scent being containe to me and maybe the table I'm sitting at.

The reviews said there are different batches. Apparently the silver nozzle or black nozzle released pre 2018 had better overall experience. I've been using 5-8 (its winter here) from the black nozzle 2018-2019 batch. Around 30 mins the projection is GODLY but drops sharply. @bold -- this projection is ideal for me. A good 2-3 meter & potential of strongly lingering on fabrics (want these hoes to smell me when I'm gone). The lingering is there, just the projection. SMH I also got a leaking nozzle (couple reviewers had this too). Gonna see if I can buy another decant/canister and transferring it over. Its good cologne but its become a product of its hype. Will use for a week and see if it improves. I'll admit today has been better. Upped it to 8-10 sprays & its been good.
