I already have:
• Paper +
• Gold -
• Moss +

And I love all of them equally. They are strong and masculine- they last for hours on my clothes & skin and the sillage is great! People always give me compliments and my boyfriend loves them on me as well.

Paper+ opens with a masculine, sharp edge that I absolutely love, then gradually softens into something warm, intimate, and effortlessly comforting. Bold without being overpowering—such a beautifully balanced fragrance.

Gold- opens with a pillowy softness that feels smooth and comforting, yet it still carries a strong, distinctly masculine presence. Warm, confident, and effortlessly refined—such a beautifully balanced fragrance.

Moss+ opens with a deeply green, earthy freshness that feels grounded, calming, and distinctly masculine. It brings to mind a quiet walk through a lush forest, with the peacefulness of nature surrounding you—even when you’re indoors. Rich yet effortless, Moss+ feels both refreshing and comforting, creating a serene sense of balance that makes it an easy favorite.
Also: more thoughts on Moss+ (lol I’m crazy)
Moss+ reminds me of a refined older gentleman—like my father or grandfather sitting at an oakwood bar, smoking cigars in the middle of the African savannah. It has a deeply green, earthy freshness that feels grounded, calming, and distinctly masculine, blending the peacefulness of nature with the warm, timeless character of a well-worn wooden bar.

Excited about my new editions:
• Book -
• Juice
• Juice -
• Gold +
• Velvet -

Have any of you tried these and what are your thoughts?
Are all Commodity scents similar profiles with the masculinity notes? Are any of them remotely feminine? I don’t mind how masculine these are so far, I am just curious if any of them sway towards more feminine?

It's a good fragrance, but like what even is this comment on about? Atleast it gave me a laugh!

Don't get me wrong—it's really good! But if you already own the Destin de Balmain EDP, buying Destin De Balmain Parfum is likely redundant.

Here is my HONEST breakdown of how they compare on my skin:
The Scent Profile: They smell incredibly close. The core DNA is essentially the same, and upon initial spray, they are way too similar to justify owning both.
My Wear Style: I don’t personally segregate my collection by season or time of day, so the "day vs. night" distinction doesn't carry much weight for me.

The Subtle but Distinct Differences:
EDP: More airy, bright, and diffusive. Because of the alcohol ratio, it projects much better into the air.
Parfum: Warmer and denser. It creates a closer-to-skin personal scent bubble, though it does offer a slightly longer overall wear time.

Final Verdict: If you are just looking for the overall better performer of the two, I highly recommend sticking with the EDP. However, if you are a collector of the house and just wanted to want it for the bottle, go ahead because the juice itself is excellent.

📌 For those who have tried both, are you finding them redundant on your skin too?b
