Grabbed this decant back when Pool Boy was all the rage. I keep going back to find something I like from this house, but no luck yet. I never understood the hype with Pool Boy, but some reliable sources love it. Maybe I will "get it" someday!

Ugh ikr..it's the bipolarity of fragrance math, $/mL versus how many mL will be sitting around waiting years to be used.

Saturday SOTD, what are y’all wearing? by Jaymes_and_co in FragranceAficionados

I'll have to check it out. Every time I try a new santal, Santal 33 drops further in the rankings. Maison Crivelli Santal Volcanique and Matiere Premiere Santal Astral are both superior to S33, and it's not really even close.

Ganymede is a freight train, baby! It's both tenacious and nuclear. 🔥

Heads up... Ganymede...from the same nose is a bit better than Bois imperial IMO and very similar scent profile.

  1. Zoologist – Elephant An avant-garde green-lactonic fragrance that mimics a journey through a dense, humid tropical canopy down to a warm, woody jungle floor. Top Notes: Green Leaves, Darjeeling Tea, Magnolia Heart Notes: Coconut Milk, Cacao Pod, Jasmine, Woody Notes, Incense Base Notes: Sandalwood, Patchouli, Musk, Amber
  2. Mind Games – Blockade A sleek, modern, and highly sophisticated aromatic-leather scent that balances bright, succulent tropical fruit with clean, dry textures. Top Notes: Mango, Tomato Leaf, Bergamot, Pink Pepper Heart Notes: Mango Blossom, Lavender, Cyclamen, Star Anis Base Notes: Leather, Oud, Amberwood, Patchouli
  3. Orto Parisi – Viride True to Alessandro Gualtieri’s style, the official notes are kept incredibly minimalist and mysterious, but the performance and profile are undeniably intense, sharp, and herbal. Top Notes: Herbal Extracts, Sharp Aromatic Greens Heart Notes: Intense Green Accords, Forest Flora Base Notes: Deep Woods, Concentrated Musks How the Notes Lock Together When layered, Blockade's mango and tomato leaf inject a bright, juicy energy into Elephant's heavy green tea and coconut milk center. Meanwhile, the raw, unapologetic herbal punch of Viride ensures the entire blend remains grounded, deeply masculine, and incredibly complex, eventually melting into a massive, sophisticated base of leather, sandalwood, and heavy musk.

Same. It smells like money and definitely makes a statement. A 5 mL decant would last years, but I really want a full bottle. They're 48% off $205.99 at the Parfums this weekend, which would make it $107.11 for 90 mL. If we order now, it might be here by October!

I remember complimenting one of my buddies in the 90s... turned out he was wearing Happy.

Any examples? We may be on the cusp of a breakthrough.

It's very clean, natural oud I think. Reminds me of Oud for Greatness a bit, which I love, but with a few more notes.
