This is mostly for the guys perfume and I couldn't take a picture of everything. I don't have these fancy glass cabinets you guys have

I mostly have fragrance world ones with some extra ones I picked up along the years

Instead of saying my top 3 like supremacy and oud wonder

It's all very personal to me

And I can write the usual what I liked or not

But I thought it's more helpful to wrote insights I gained along the months/years .

First of all there are stuff I like in my collection and stuff most people will find attractive .

Like oud wonder is probebly my number one

But most girls find it offensive

Compare that to supremacy that most girls would love

So I would put the perfumes to match also the company I'm going with

I will never buy from aliexpress or small markets around the world

Simply because I have no idea what they are putting me inside the bottles

Even if in aliexpress something got 100k positive reviews

In the end I can find for 40-45 usd something far better from a known company

That's an important one

I never expect them to match the originals because they are not .

I had the original Tom Ford leather ones

And these ones do give the same feel

But it doesn't match

Not the complexity not the time on skin

And mostly not the feel of putting a 300 usd perfume on you it's also psychological .

Same that a 10 usd wine tastes much better when you believe it's a 200 usd wine .

It's something in the head

All I expect is that it's a smell I like .

I never buy them "instead of the originals"

I stick to the big and known brands

Like fregrence world or like know perfumes that are known in the community

The other cheap ones always give me bad results

That's it...

I can say that among everything I have

The supremacy is great for everyone

And the oud wonder is my top 1 .

But if you take 100 people ask them their opinion they give 100 different answers to what they like

Anyway hope this helped anyone !

Feel free to ask about whatever perfume you want that I have

So I had the chance to buy both on my collection

If I understood correctly they are both inspired by creed

I also have creed itself to compare.

Venti

Lasts - 1-2 hours in my skin not a lot

Smells - fruity alcoholic I understand the direction but missing the complexity of creed

Design- bottle design is simple nothing too crazy

Thoughts - I love almost every fregrence world perfume I must have 20+ of their clones but this one is not among my favorites

Note that creed itself is not a strong perfume

But this one is a step down . On intensity.

Score: 6.5

Supremacy

Lasts - 8+ hours I still smell it on me.

Smells - to be honest very close to creed

It's very complex very good does not smell cheap at all it smells very safe it's not like oud that some people near you would love and some would say it smells awful, this one smells very good and most people will like it.

Design- I love this grey design with the stamp on it I think it stands out in a collection and looks great

Thoughts- well I wanted it for a few months now so I knew I would love it

It gives you a good complex perfume without spending too much money on it I think it was 60 or 70 usd total I love how it looks in my collection and that it lasts

It lasts much more than creed .

Score: 9

I honestly think this one is a 9 or close to it.

Do you agree with these two ?

So I had this book on my family

My mom got it from her mother

That got it from her mother

That got it as a gift from the husband who bought it in Germany

It already had that dedication on it in the store

Not sure what it means or if the people can be tracked even

And if this book holds any value other then the one for the family

I wish I could uncover the story behind this book

My mom don't know anything about it

I assume I'll get heavily downvoted or get comments in style of

"We're sick and tired of people who say they're sick and tired" but honestly

I signed up for the Rolex GMT blue and black watch

Over 3 years ago.

With my AD keep saying she doesn't have anything for me over and over

Until last year management of that rolex partner sent me an email asking how am I feeling with them

And I told them everything in that email

1 week later my a.d. suddenly called me with the green o.p and told me it will help me get to my watch

I said ok no problem so I got it and waited for another call

So far 8 months without a call.i messaged her what's going on

She continues with her

I have nothing for sale

Another 3 months passed and again she said nothing for sale.

At some point i got another email from the management of that partner (automatic one) if I'm happy with my purchase.

I said yes of course but about my original watch again told them the story

They gave me the number of one of the stores that has it in stock

I messaged the store .a.d. that I got

And again I got

It's only for display I cannot sell to you

I can put you in list and call you at some point but realistically it may take years.

I understand this is the way of rolex selling watches

And I understand that's their system

Even after I bought something they don't owe me anything

But that system is so unfair and so mean to me

To the point where I'm sick of them honestly..

That's not a way to treat a costumer who waited years and purchased other things they have

Store name was rolex boutique in Bangkok

The embassy one.

The watch itself is great and awesome, and really a beautiful watch. But for Timex to ask $550 USD, then add taxes on top, it's pushing it, I think, for this watch. If it was only $300 USD, it would have been a steal.

Overall I like it I'm consider getting it seriously from them.

Just not sure if it's worth the asking price.
