What’s next…. Fragrance journey road block
I’m into collecting frags as a casual. I’m a truck driver who collects for the love of the game. I don’t socialize much or even go out to the scenarios I’m specifically buying these scents for. I have a scent for a “night out on the beach” I haven’t touched the beach in years but I love coming home, picking things up, and smelling them just to appreciate different scents.
I love getting whiffs of myself after a 12-hour shift and thinking, “Damn, I smell good.” But I’ve gotten to a point now where things I used to think were disgusting are actually stimulating a specific part of my brain, and I think I’m ready for the nasty, stanky stuff but also something a little more beginner-friendly to ease myself into it.
I just want some excitement and heavy, wintery stuff now. I’m sick of everything fresh, aquatic, green, musky, or just spicy.
Here’s what I have, and I also have a list below. LMK if anyone has some good recommendations for what to try or pick up next.
