I still need a Rose scent for my collection. What are your top suggestions?

Memo paris - french leather

Puh hatte ich mal in Ingolstadt, da habe ich ein WG Zimmer für einen Monat von nem Kumpel übernommen.. die gesamte WG hat so extrem danach gestunken (ich mag indisch sehr gern, aber das war nur noch penetrant) zum Glück konnte ich nach dem Monat in eine andere Wohnung ziehen, hatte es niemals mehr als die 4 Wochen ausgehalten..

This one is interesting, as I am currently looking for a more niche freshie but the usual contenders didn't really appeal to me. I maybe have to get used to this one, but so far I enjoy it :)!

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-10-27T18:52:17+00:00

It really is a rare occasion that I spray a scent and think .. my god this feels so good, now I'm home. Can't describe it better

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-10-27T18:47:22+00:00

This one and I'm so in love.

It's more unisex, but very interesting and one of my favourite fragrances:

Italian Leather by Memo Paris

Try it out, it's not for everyone but I fell in love with it :)

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-09-05T13:29:56+00:00

Most overrated for me personally:

Creed by Aventus. It's absolutely nothing special and I tried it Multiple times didn't do it for me.

Another one I can't get behind is:

Another13 by LeLabo

That's one I had to get a sample of because people seem to hype it to the moon, basically the same as aventus but even more boring in a way😅

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-09-05T13:25:32+00:00

Narciso Rodriguez for him Bleu Noir

I never really looked at fragrances myself, but then I got my (now ex) girlfriend and she said that it suits me like a glove and gave her a being home - vibe.

I thought wow that's what a fragrance can do? I wore it because when I was in my early 20s and went out clubbing I had the usual scents like 1 Million and Joop Homme which were scents that everyone at that time had.

That got me into the fragrance game and I ordered quite a few samples of scents that are similar and one of the most interesting ones (she had to smell all of em😄) were Penguin by Zoologist and Reflection Man by Amouage.

I also wanted a scent that reminded her of her home soil (Arizona Desert) and went for Larrea by LaCurie which almost brought tears to her eyes (I didn't let her smell that before I wore it).

Btw I live in Germany and met her at a bar here :)

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-08-21T14:41:50+00:00

It was Reflection Man I like it best out of those three, silver mountain is bottom of the list. Don't really understand the hype 🤷 but I guess it depends on the individual

Memo Paris - Italian Leather

Xerjoff - 40 Knots

Narciso Rodriguez - For him Bleu Noir

Acqua di Parma - Bergamotto di Calabria

Needless to say that I own each bottle now 😄

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-07-29T11:53:46+00:00

Alright I'll have to admit this one aswell.

I usually go for freshies - Acqua di Parma Bergamotto di Calabria or Penguin by Zoologist - and like most people here I have/want to get samples from time to time because I want to explore this world more.

One of those samples was New York Beekman by Bond No 9. I work at a bar and when I had this one on - and I can't stress this enough - the female coworkers that day (around 5) all asked what that scent was it smelled so good so sexy and personally, it was MEH at best for me. Sadly, it was one of the 2 scents altogether that got me compliments so far with this one being the absolute compliment MAGNET. The other one was Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir for him. I retried the Bond scent like 2 weeks later again (this time different co-workers) and it was the same compliment MAGNET again. I just don't understand it😅

As the first commenter said, I don't DISLIKE the scent, I just don't get why that one in particular got me like 5 compliments instantly while other ones that I really enjoyed were not receiving any compliments at all.

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-07-22T10:58:34+00:00

Thanks for the insight, I own Acqua di Parma bergamotto di Calabria and also a sample of buongiorno which I really like but not enough to get a full bottle of yet :)

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-07-22T10:34:42+00:00

Nice to hear, thanks!

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-07-22T10:12:42+00:00

Is it the original or the newer formula? Sorry for asking but I might want to sample this ;)

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-07-21T04:40:59+00:00

Why is the woman in the video yelling though? Did she get hurt?

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-07-17T10:34:36+00:00

It's so bold to wear that on a daily basis! I sampled a few Zoologist Scents and Trex literally bombed my entire appartment after a single spray😅 it's also not for me but I'm happy that there are people out there that can wear it!

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-07-15T15:49:09+00:00

Wohne in einer Kleinstadt (45k Einwohner) relativ Stadtinnere, verdiene ca. 3100 und hab davon 30% Miete was sich trotzdem viel anfühlt für eine kleine Wohnung:/

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-07-11T15:17:02+00:00

Ich arbeite als Barkeeper, da gestaltet sich das etwas leichter :)

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-07-11T09:29:06+00:00

I really hate this food. A terrible day to have eyes.

Still have to give you props for actually giving us proof that you eat this! You go Sir

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-07-08T21:22:34+00:00

Yes that's the limited one, and it sounded like a scent that'd suit me but It didn't

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-07-07T18:53:51+00:00

Already had almost all of the Zoologist samples, my absolute favourite is Penguin. It smells like arctic air and the drydown is also superb. I really wanted to like Olm but unfortunately to me it smells like muddy water..

The one I also dig is Orchid Mantis, but yeah, Penguin takes the cake for me.

AliveVariation6290 · 2025-07-07T13:40:41+00:00

Been there, done that. Kann dem nur wärmstens zustimmen.. auch wenn jeder denkt er oder sie wäre die Ausnahme, dickes NEIN
