3 months in - here’s my line up

3 months in - here’s my line up

So I’ve recently been getting into fragrances, I only really used gifts before this but I’m 3 months into it and loving it. The best to worst right to left (personal preference)

Afnan Supremacy not only intense

- By far my best frag, most complimented and also the only one random strangers will compliment. I love this profile, it’s a hacivat dupe but the best way to describe it is if you take the creed aventus profile and add moss and oak, and swap the citrus for some apple and add a very slight sweet twist to the opening you get this. Random buy from Tk Maxx, couldn’t be happier with it. 10/10 after macerating for a few weeks. Beast performance, beast longevity.

Afnan Odyssey Mega

- I LOVE ysl y edp. I went to a department store tried out a load of frags and it was my favorite of the day. I came home to look online where I could get it cheapest and after seeing it was around £80 for 100ml I though why not try the dupe at £18. No harm in the gamble. I was SHOCKED, it’s so close it was hard to tell the difference between them. The performance is great but longevity on my skin wasn’t. On clothes it’s beast but from what I’ve heard that’s the case with the OG too. I absolutely love it, in my daily rotation in summer/spring.

Dior Sauvage EDP

- What can I say that hasn’t been said? I got it for Christmas a couple years ago and I only ever put it on for special occasions as I wasn’t into frags back then. People hate on it but let’s be honest it smells amazing, that’s why everyone loves it and wears it. It’s what got me into frags so it will always hold a special place in my collection. It’s almost finished but I rarely ever wear it so even the small amount left will last me a while. When it’s done, I will replace with another Dior, probably not Sauvage.

Zimaya Mazaaj infused

- This is my go to gym frag. Obviously it’s an imagination inspiration but tbh it has no tea or ginger really, it’s really just a clean soapy basic profile which is perfect for the gym. Non offensive, and doesn’t last that long which again for gym use is perfect. I also wear it in the office from time to time because it won’t offend. Loved it when I first got it, still like it a lot. Great value.

Afnan 9PM Night Out

- Where to start with this one? So I got all the social media hype on this for months, everyone was glazing it. I thought about getting it but wasn’t too bothered. Fast forward a month or two and I’m in TK Maxx and see it in the display case for less than £30. I thought why not? After all I got SNOI here and it’s my favorite frag! Man was I disappointed at first. I don’t know what it was but it just reminded me of that “cheap aftershave” profile right off the bat so I hated it. Then I came back after a couple weeks and thought I’d give it another shot. Put on a generous amount and went out, I was pleasantly surprised, on dry down if you give it some time it gets better, the ambrofix calms down a lot and you get the chocolatey vanilla more. It moves up the ranks but I don’t wear it often.

Arabiyat Prestige Marwa

- Another social media glaze fest that turned sour. Everyone glazed it, I got it, I didn’t like it. Too much ginger makes the scent profile become almost muddy which is crazy for a fresh imagination clone. The dry down is okay but only for about an hour because after that it just disappears. The Mazaaj has better performance and longevity than this. I’m a D1 hater of this frag, save your money.

Club De Nuit intense man

- This one I just don’t like at all. I’ve had it for months so it’s had plenty of time to macerate. It’s just lemon toilet cleaner on crack. Yes it calms down on the dry down but even after it’s still very lemon dominant. I just never wear it. Even the Marwa I wear in the gym sometimes, but this I literally cannot stand on me. Maybe it’ll get better with time, but I’d much rather have any other aventus clone than this.

Joop! Homme

- This was a gift, I still question whether this person that gave it to me even likes me or not. Why would you gift this? Are you trying to make sure I never get laid again? Do you want my bloodline to die with me? What did I even do to you to deserve this? It’s not even worth using as an air freshener after taking a dump. It will find its way into the bin as I run out of room.

What’s next?

- Afnan supremacy in heaven is ordered and on the way.

- Prada L’Homme for the office

- I’d like to try Mykonos Inception to scratch that imagination itch as my Mazaaj is low and Marwa lasts about 5 mins

- Liquid Brun has always been on my list

- Armani Stronger with you intensely

After that I think it’s time to stop, enjoy them and save for a niche frag.

Thank you for listening to my ted talk.

Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/CM5jFBaB#EZEtAvbQLui_apX-ulg8MQ

Index alignment: I can see the 9 is a bit low but it looks good too me tbh, didn't even notice until i used the tool.

Dial: Looks fine too me, close enough to gen's gradient so that you won't be able tell.

Date Wheel: No Date

Anything else you notice: This is my first rep watch so any feedback would be appreciated. All looks good to me, I was just a bit unsure about the 9's index alignment, looks a bit low but i think I might just be being a bit too picky with this particular watch, the printed nature makes it hard to tell without the QC tool. Thanks for your time.

▲ 30 r/BMWZ4

Rear quarter repair

Finally getting the old Z4 sorted, car is as stripped as it needs to be, new quarter has been acquired and paint has been scanned and mixed. Just waiting for some more bodywork supplies and I’ll spray the new panel and bumper and see how close the paint match is. I suspect it will still need some blending into the door and side skirt but it’ll be good to see how close they could get it.

Post Wilson’s been rough

After the motorcycle road trip house being technically dead lent him well in the arms trade business, he’s now curing lupus in Turkey while selling ak-47’s and tormenting his latest Chase replacement (Tom Hiddleston). His new cuddy isn’t working out too well either.

So I reversed into my sisters car when she was visiting me. Dumb move but it happens. I have picked up a new quarter panel and the rear bumper just needs some minor body work. The rest of the car also needs a lot of paintwork tbh so I think I need to wait until I can do a full respray. I first need to get my turbo E46 and my motorcycle project finished so I can leave this at the paint shop for a while. In the meantime time i’m going to wrap it. What colour do you think I should go with? I’m swaying towards the green. I’m going to get some new wheels too so don’t consider the little stock 16’s. Last pic is the current state of the car.

I'm trying to scan an object in, I've taken 150 images and I'm at the upload stage but for some reason the upload gets stuck and hangs on 16. I've tried to stop and start it and it still always gets stuck on the same spot. I've also created a copy of the draft and tried to upload that and it get stuck in the exact same place. I'mn on a fast WIFI connection, full bars. Any advice on getting the upload through or any idea why it might be happening? I've been trying it for hours, current uploads bee running longer than an hour and is still stuck on 16, it's gets there quickly, and then just stops.
