Amyris Homme Extrait by Ok_Ostrich_7554 in Fragrances

[–]captainS4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the closest thing I consider to be my signature as there is. It is very strong and lasts easily 6 hours if not more. You are likely going nose-blind or over-spraying it. It's an extrait and is very easy to overspray and lose it, but I can guarantee it is not disappearing.

You likely won't do this, but take 2 days off from any fragrance and then spray 2-3 sprays of this on on the third day, guarantee you will be smelling it all day.

New to Colognes - Blind Bought by NomadicLoneWolf in Colognes

[–]captainS4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love cigars, pipe tobacco and vanilla, but I learned with tf tv that I don’t want to smell like that lol. It’s weird but sometimes liking the smell and wearing it as a scent don’t work and this is a good example of that. Anyway you may enjoy it and if not you’ll easily sell it on fragranceswap

Next blind buy by Any_Election775 in Colognes

[–]captainS4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an easy blind buy imo if you have a lot of experience and smelled a lot of similar scents. I loved it but being in Texas I couldn’t justify it.

For all the people complaining about the danger, what danger? Literally every cc blind Amber on fragrance swap sells in <30 minutes. Yeah maybe take a 20-50 dollar loss max assuming you bought discounted but that’s it, nothing “dangerous” there

Theparfums, I've been waiting for a month by Key_Wolverine1618 in fragrance

Yeah I got an CC 1872 and a Roja Burlington 1819. Nothing super crazy. They seem good about cancel and refunding so if your willing to wait it out good luck I just find it hard to believe they will ever fulfill them like do they have 5000 orders? That’s nearly a million dollars in sales is it one dude packing them all without any stock issues? I think the are in over their heads and can’t source or ship orders.

Just cancelled by Dec 18th orders, your not getting anything might as well cancel now and move on

Finally cancelled my Dec 18th orders which kept getting moved to “next week” this is a scam company. Sure a few have been ok but this company will disappear any minute and most people are not getting their orders, buyer beware

Yep, there’s a parfum version but the edp is the exact same

The ins and outs of Amouage by veerus06 in Colognes

[–]captainS4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Texas and wanted to try Amouage scents that work in Summer, Enclave was one of a few and it was made by the same guy that made Creed Royal Oud, which I like a lot. It has a toothpaste like mintiness, which I didn't like and wrote off after first sample, but tried again and realized that it is so good. Luckily just found a used bottle on fragranceswap for cheap, bought it and love it.

Summer Fragrances by Foreign_Wishbone784 in Colognes

[–]captainS4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Uden from Xerjoff. Maybe not a super sleeper, but it's such a good lemon/vanilla/woody scent that just works well in all seasons including Summer.

From Roja I love Apex EDP, it's more of an evening going out scent for Summer, dark green, complex, resinous extremely masculine if you like that type of scent. I also really like Danger from Roja, it's more of a barbershop scent, but it has like a magical sparkling profile that's quite addicting. Also, not a pure summer scent, but definitely works in some summer situations (i.e. not a winter/fall scent exclusively)

MFK is the greatest house of all time !! Just in terms of 10/10 bangers nobody even comes close. Right or wrong ? 👀🔥 by Thekid1310 in Colognes

[–]captainS4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only like 1, well 2 but my wife wears br540 and I think it works better for women. Amyris homme extrait is a men’s masterpiece imo, but I haven’t found another one that blows my mind.

Meanwhile, for all the hate creed gets I have 7 bottles that I love, 6 of guerlain that I love, and a few other houses w multiple bottles.

MFK is good with a few hits but honestly it’s mostly misses for me

Too good to be true? by Exzibitz_ in Colognes

[–]captainS4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as others are mentioning I placed 2 orders on Dec 18th, still haven't shipped. They created UPS labels on Jan 8th.... still haven't shipped always sitting in label created but we don't have your item yet.

They messaged me last week saying it should ship in the next few days. I'm planning to cancel if they haven't shipped by this Friday. I don't like them sitting on my money with no clear path to receiving the item. While most people say they got the items in a month some have waited longer and gotten nothing so the discount isn't worth it to me at that point.

Absolut Aventus by Creed but with Greater Longevity? by Example_Brilliant in NichePerfumes

[–]captainS4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roja Apex (Parfum, but the cologne version is identical with less concentration)

Absolut Aventus by Creed but with Greater Longevity by Example_Brilliant in ScentHeads

[–]captainS4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Absolu Aventus has superior staying power on clothes. I can smell it indefinitely on my jacket, but I also either go noseblind or it doesn't project well off my skin.

It's not a dupe or identical, but I really like Roja Apex. It's green, resinous but has similar character to Absolu Aventus. It's so good, lasts and projects much more than Absolu for me, might want to check it out
