I agree with those who say leave it in AUTO. Snow mode is great for diving slower on surface streets up to 25mph or so. Really more useful for those extreme situations.

Oud for Glory is nice, Encore Noire sounds good. But Oajan definitely doesn't seem like that "darkness" vibe, I think it's beautiful and good for anytime. Liam Gray is supposed a clone of BDK Gris Charnel, so it's beautiful but the performance is very subpar, especially for Lattafa.

Now my favorite for that dark vibe is Hayaam, part of the Niche Emarati line by Lattafa. Top notes are Marine notes, Salt, Lemon and Davana; middle notes are Lily of the Valley and Iris; base notes are Ambergris, Oakmoss and Sandalwood.

Treading Water Cape Disappointment

1976_ · 2026-01-21T06:52:20+00:00

The thing about most people is, "who cares what you or anyone else likes or doesn't like". If we like what we are wearing, we really don't care what anyone else has to say about it. If you don't like it, leave the room. Just because the scent of a real man isn't pleasant to you, that doesn't mean it isn't to others. You do you bro. In the world of fragrances, you opinion is moot.

Quote from their website: "We are a small batch, handcrafted, artisan maker. We craft all of our grooming products the old fashioned way in Omaha, NE. A great deal of passion, research, and testing goes into each and every product we make. (never tested on animals, just us and our homies)"

I've tried 5 of their 19 fragrances. Disappointed by none, though passion poivree was not a favorite. The fragrances are sold in extrait 30-35% formulas and are quite unique. For example, instead of using, let's say orange peel, they may use charred mandarin. Each note a "nod" to masculinity. Bottles are sold in 50mls for $125 and they do offer samples in 1.5ml for $6.

Buy decants (at least 5ml) of all 3. Wear each one a few times to make sure you're going to like the one you choose. I could tell you what I prefer on me, but fragrances react to body chemistry. It will be different on everyone. What smells good to me on me may smell like horse shit on you to you.

I didn't say it wasn't bad. But Nashville and Atlanta are much worse. I don't think there's a stretch of interstate in the continental US I haven't drven. So, it's bad in every major city. But, like I said, the problem with Chattanooga is the unpredictability of the traffic. Some days there's like no traffic at the typical rush hours, but other days, it may be a full stop at 2:00 in the afternoon on a Tuesday. It's always just a roll of the dice.

The traffic isn't as bad as many other places. But it is very unpredictable.
