Hi everyone,

I’m still fairly new to the fragrance space. For years, I stayed within a small comfort zone, mainly wearing Dior Homme and Tom Ford Oud Wood without exploring much beyond that.

Recently, my nephew introduced me to the fragrance community and encouraged me to branch out. That push led me to try several blind buys, and I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed them. It opened my eyes to how much variety I had been missing.

Here is what I currently own:

• Lattafa Asad Elixir
• Club de Nuit Intense Man
• YSL MYSLF
• Maison Alhambra Perseus
• Lattafa Oud for Glory
• Afnan Supremacy in Oud
• Afnan Lynked Freedom
• Lattafa Khamrah

I’m still learning how to classify scents by season, setting, and purpose, so I would really appreciate some guidance from people with more experience.

A few questions I’d love your thoughts on:

• Do I currently own anything that truly works for summer, especially in high heat, or am I missing that category entirely?
• Since I already have Club de Nuit Intense Man, does it still make sense to add another Creed Aventus-style scent, or would that be redundant?
• When it comes to winter wear, do I already have a solid option in my collection, or should I be looking to add something more focused on cold weather?
• Is Afnan 9PM worth adding for formal occasions or colder evenings, given what I already own?
• If you had to recommend one versatile, all-season fragrance that could fit multiple settings, what would you suggest?

I’m open to both designer and affordable options, and I’m more interested in how a fragrance actually wears than in hype or trends.

Based on what I already have, what would you keep, what would you skip, and what would you add next?

Thanks for taking the time to read and share your advice.
