3 months in, need some pointers.

I’m looking for some advice / recommendations, also does anyone know who stocks city rhythm Miami? Or any other trusted websites with a healthy stock.

[EDIT] I have had colognes for about 4 years but just basic gifts or some I got for myself. Not new to colognes just decided I wanted to amp up my collection so I’m new to buying them really, that’s why im looking for site to order from.

Still appreciate everyone who’s commented tho and looking out for me

What’s everyone’s Thursday spray ?

I’ve gone for another discontinued flanker of one of my all time favourites - this time it’s the Cologne version which is basically just a less spicy and more citrus forward version of the original.

EDIT: 6/10***, curse my fingers!!!!

Back to work today and it actually came across wet and rainy today, I almost forgot what rain looked like 🤣.

To celebrate the cool and wet weather I put on one million lucky, I find it to be one of the most appropriately sweet fragrances and it is perfect for this type of weather, just hoping the heat doesn’t start rearing its head because I put on 7 sprays 😭

What are you all wearing?

Impassable Wilderness

Received my bottle of the new IA release today, so it’s had a full day of wear and a little time to give initial thoughts.

Overall it’s a warmer weather Pine forward scent - not too dissimilar to another IA release -Cape Heartache- but without the strange yet addictive strawberry note that is in that one ( nor the Vanilla )

I don’t own a bottle of Cape Heartache but do really enjoy that one so I’m not too unhappy about the slight similarities.

Having said that, on its own merits the Pine in this one feels very sappy, and the moss note also is definitely on the sweeter/lighter side and not a big dark dank oakmoss.
So far not really picking up too much on the Petrichor aspect, there’s a hint but it’s not coming through as damp or overly earthy as I’d expect.

Has a similar feel to something that Pineward might release as a Spring or Summer release, as it sits on the fresher side of the scale as far an a Pine/Fir/Moss frag goes.

Will need to give it another wear on a warmer day to see how it behaves but so far I’m liking it.

It is a good example of the notes making your nose expect it to smell a certain way, but it actually going another upon spraying.
I thought the Pine,Oakmoss and Cedar would drive it further down a darker, damper more mysterious path but that’s not the case at all.

Where to shop niche/exclusive in Japan?

I’m travelling to Tokyo now and I wanted to visit some Japan-exclusive niche and designer brands, do you have any recommendations?

Note: I know this is the AU sub reddit but I'm posting cos I know us Aussies love our Japan trips haha
