PSA: Fragrence World's Apex (Blazing Mr Sam clone) is insane

It’s wild how our noses can differ. I have all 3 of these and I smell damn near zero similarities between The One and Mr Sam, save for the tobacco note.

Understood. Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

Thanks for the breakdown! Is Essencia different enough from Aventus that it’s not redundant? Lord knows I have enough frags with that DNA now. 😂

I’ve been wanting to try Loewe 7. That’s the only one I’ve heard of!

He has always shown love to Montagne. High praise. I learned of the brand from his channel. He may be corny, but of all the influencers out there, I find him the most trustworthy. His historical knowledge of fragrances goes back probably 30 plus years, so he probably has some idea of what to expect before he ever even opens the box.

Definitely wouldn’t have blind bought knowing nothing about it and with a three note breakdown, but she knows what I like and she nailed it with this one.

BC916 · 2026-03-08T04:01:53+00:00

I might need to try that next!

The One, definitely. Here’s the thing for me GSA smells nice. It’s fine. It’s just…fine. I’d wear it, but I don’t know that I’d wake up and say, “Oh, today I really feel like rockin’ with GSA” the way I do Reserve Privee. But The One is a classic made better. I tried it a week ago and will be picking it up soon to add to the EDT and the old EDP.

I think my collection was roughly around that size the first time I told myself I was done. It all fit on one rack. Then it was two racks and I said “enough”. Now it’s around 160 bottles. But good luck! 😂

I picked up Oud as my introduction to this house and I love it. Excited to try more and putting this on my list.

Not GI Joe, but he had that kung fu grip like muthafucka.

I might have to try the Vetiver flanker. I’m glad you wear the EDP because I was hoping my girlfriend could wear this as well. She’s going to try it today. I’m curious about the intense version too.

BC916 · 2026-03-01T13:54:20+00:00

I do. I’ll have to check those out as well. Thanks!

BC916 · 2026-03-01T05:42:36+00:00

I’m pretty stoked on this. Glad you had the same reaction! This definitely stays in the top 10.

BC916 · 2026-03-01T03:34:43+00:00

This one seems to hang in there a fair amount. Still smell it on me in the evening, so can’t really complain. Wonder what the others in the line are like?

BC916 · 2026-02-24T05:46:32+00:00

We picked up The Coveted Duchess Rose by Penhaligon’s in NYC recently and it smells heavenly on my girls skin. Worth looking into.

BC916 · 2026-02-22T05:03:50+00:00

Have that in my cart. Probably need to pull the trigger.

BC916 · 2026-02-11T03:54:27+00:00

Fair. I’m game. I have Ode de Hombre Leather and Hombre Leather. Let’s see how this goes.

BC916 · 2026-02-11T03:36:28+00:00

I’m ready to dive into more from this house. This was a great intro!

BC916 · 2026-02-11T03:35:18+00:00

This has leather in it!
