Sunday night!
What are we wearing on this Sunday night?
I am wearing my new favorite fragrance! Just found out about it yesterday and bought it on the spot immediately! Another Quentin bisch masterpiece.
Just got this in.
Memo Paris is absolutely killing it! They are now my second favorite house behind amouage! I recently rated this fragrance as 9.7/10 and is now in my top 10. The quality is absolutely insane! I have this and African leather tied but this fragrance blows me away Everytime. I remember my first time smelling it in Miami and almost paid full retail but I got this for $139 which I feel like is a great deal!
What are we wearing today??
Went with Sultani today!
Was feeling a freshie fragrance for once!
Decants I have that are full bottle worthy/ too early to tell
Don't feel like making this a huge post so if you have any questions on why comment below:
Full bottle worthy:
Nishane B-612
Amouage JUBILATION 40: I own xxv and still want 40 as well.
Amouage purpose 50
Amouage journey man
Amouage Timber - probably won't get a full bottle for a while because others come first.
Amouage king blue
Amouage dia man
Amouage outlands
Amouage reflection man - this is a full bottle worthy fragrance but I think Prada L'Homme and Prada amber do this scent profile in a way I like it better.
Bortnikoff khabib musk
M.michelaff desir toxic and desir toxic l'intense
Carner Barcelona - botafumerio
BDK creme de cuir
Cdg -concrete
Le labo noire 29 - (for a women)
Memo Paris palais bourbon
Killian straight to heaven
Too early to tell list:
Byredo bal d'afrique absolu - this composition is not special at all. Mark my word there will be a one to one dupe that comes out. It's too easy to replicate so I am waiting.
Byredo oud immortel
Arabian oud sultani-in the air 10/10 on skin idk it changes so much, this is also a easy scent composition and not too special.
Xeroff Alexandria II- I have had this for a while now and it's till too early to tell. All I know is xeroff messed up big time with what ever not give off a armpit BO smell they ruined a potential masterpiece.
Amouage interlude black iris- just simply don't know yet it is really good though.
Amouage decision - I love it besides this lip balmy waxy note I get .
D'orsay tonka hysteria - really good but might just be too sweet.
Bon parfumeur myrrh shadow 403
Nishane papifeliko - don't know if this is too redundant in my collection or not yet. I think desir toxic duo is better.
Xeroff Louis xv 1772
Sospiro il padrino - apricot note kind of takes the main stage in front of all the beautiful potential of other notes.
Oman luxury Caden
That wraps it up for now getting more in today !!
[WTB] nishane B-612 (bottle)
If you are selling this or willing to sell nishane B,-612 please hit me up .
Top 15 fragrances that I own
Have never done my favorite fragrance list so here I go. I have owned 120 fragrances and recently slimed my collection down to 76.please note I may be bias due to personal liking of scent profiles.. I love my sophisticated scent profiles ! Also note that these are my top choice out of fragrances I own full bottles of!
1.Amouage jubilation xxv - this is simply regal the best scent profile out there. I love Jubilation 40 just as much if not better just don't own it yet.
2.Memo Paris African leather- if you like spicy sophisticated fragrances this is a must have in your collection.
Serge lutens Ecrin de fumee - unique perfectly blended rum,smoke, tobacco and cacao I mean come on...
Bon parfumeur 602- this smells like a smokey forest with some bay leaf spice - get this instead of amouage epic man just trust!
Atkinsons oud save the king- refined oud powdery suede and earl grey tea opening. Nothing else smells like it - pulls crazy compliments.Can get a tester for under $100!!
6.Les indemodables Immortelle solaire - if you like immortelle in fragrances this is a must buy sweet floral leather, sweet - the blending is perfect!
Prada luna rossa black- I am a fan boy of this fragrance just so unique smooth and alluring. My favorite designer of all time.
Eight and bob og - the classiest fougere known to man . I bought full retail in store because I was blown away
9.inito Blessed baraka - this is only so low because it lacks versatility. But an amazing vanilla amber and musk masculine vanilla perfection.
10.gucci intense oud - best beginner oud and one of the best designers of all time. It is blended perfectly and screams rich!
Tom Ford oud wood - this is in the same realm of scent profile of Gucci intense oud . Would be a tie but Gucci destroys it in longevity / projection.
Serge lutens chergui- rated the best niche fragrance of all time by many and there is a reason for that. I bought this out of season so I haven't got to wear it enough but the blend is insane hay tobacco amber just a classic!
13.Eight and bob Egypt - I spicy ambery version of the og just a great fragrance bought this full retail in store as well.
14.prada L'Homme and Prada L'Homme intense - I mean L'Homme is the goat office fragrance it is perfect. L'Homme intense for special occasions is 10/10 as well . Prada the king of designers I said what I said.
Carrier pasha parfum - a boozy fougere sign me up every time!! Amazing !!
PDM Pegasus- please note I meant to put this at #14 haha! Best PDM in my opinion.
HM: Goldfield and banks purple suede - I just got this so I couldn't put it in my top 15.
Serge lutens L'orpheline and five o'clock au gingermbre - too new to make my top 15 as well.
Givenchy gentlemen only- my favorite fresh fragrance of all time! It's just perfectly balanced in every way.
Tom Ford Costa Azzurra EDP, lalique ombre noire, lalique equss EDP, tumi 19th degree, Swiss arabian incense 01, boss bottled absolu and elixir.
Out of these best middle eastern cheapies : teriaq intense, vintage radio , musamum black intense, turathi blue.
I love every fragrance I still own so I could honorable mention the rest haha. Please feel free to ask any questions!
SOTN - going to a speakeasy bar
One of the best fragrances of all time!! Yes I said what I said.
[WTB] Amouage king blue, amouage Journey man, amouage purpose 50, jubilation 40, 5-30 ml (decant)
Let me know who is selling decants of these Amouage fragrances.
Does anyone have a scent that stinks so good?
I know the caption sounds crazy but I have been sampling king blue by amouage and yes it has a barnyard type oud note but man it is so good and addicting I actually love it ! It has this amazing fermented fruit note with it that is just perfect. I keep going back to this one. Does anyone else have a fragrance that stinks so good? Let me know in the comments!
Holy steal!!!
I just got probably the biggest steal of all of my time collecting fragrances! I saw this and bought it immediately. Yes this was purchased from a trusted discounter. This and getting a 4.2 oz of PDM Pegasus for $140 are the best deals I have got. Couldn't believe the price when I saw this. This is on Jomashop for $225!
Feel free to share your best deals you have got below!
decants of D&G Velvet incenso, montale Full incense, and serge lutens Fille en Aiguilles
Please let me know if anyone has these. I may be interested in a full bottle as well.
Scent of the day what are we wearing today?
I decided to go with L'orpheline today! It's raining and gloomy today. So thought this was the best option!
3 hyped fragrances - initial thoughts
Okay so some of my decants came in on some fragrances I have been waiting to try. I thought I would give a review of the three. Please keep in mind these were sprayed about an hour and a half ago and I want to give my initial reaction/ review. If my opinions change this post will be edited through the full wear.
First up Arabian oud Sultani 5.9/10:
I was super hyped for this fragrance for awhile even thought about blind buying. I am so glad I didn't. In the first 20 second of this fragrance are beautiful citrus and musk. Then it's just smells like sweat and musk . This is nothing special at all . You can get a 30 fragrance that smells similar or even honestly better.i do get a little bit of eucalyptus as well which I enjoy. If you smell this up close you will get the sweat aspect i am talking about. It is getting kind of addicting but just nothing too great. I don't understand the hype fully. Maybe it will grow on me but we will see.
Oman luxury caden 7/10:
I absolutely love Amouge so I was especially excited for this.
This is just a kind of basic middle eastern fragrance if you are familiar with Amouge fragrances you will understand what I mean. This is a more resinous baby cat with out the sweet vanilla . I am getting a dirt suede and benzoins at the front you can smell a slight coffee note as well. This is a good fragrance and has good quality but it doesn't blow me away at all. This is not full bottle worthy and wouldn't be used in my collection. This smells similar to oud save the king but isn't nearly as good. Oud save the king is a masterpiece this just isn't. This is high quality and a good fragrance just not great. That may just be me not loving the scent profile. I will explore more of this line because the quality is very good!
Le Lebo The noir 29: 9.2/10
This fragrance is great . Opens with a strong fig and I get rose Accord in the opening. The dry down is similar to chergui by serge Lutens you get that hay and tobacco that chergui has then add some black tea! which is absolutely lovely. I do think the opening is slightly feminine for my liking. I would love to smell this on a woman!! I might still buy a bottle but I most likely won't because I hate rose and I get a rose note in the opening( I know it's not listed as a note). All in all this fragrance is beautiful but leans a little bit too feminine - I might get my wife a bottle!!!
All in all I always have a great time decanting fragrances. Feel free to leave your thoughts below!
What do we think?
New stand! Any other ideas for presentation. Feel free to ask any questions about the fragrances as well! I know I'm addicted you don't have to tell me lol .
