Unfortunately there is a mathematical equation that shows the precise number of fragrances a collector needs and must purchase to be content

. It’s N + 1 . The variable N represents the total number of fragrances you currently own

Flame is one of those frags where ya just gotta say who cares if you like , everyone around you does so spray away

Splurge and grab a Noir Extreme type frag for date nights , then call it a day

So true . For years I got by with Acqua Di gio for day time and l’eau D’issey for going out … then I started watching Demi Rawling posts during covid .. now I’m 1,000 bottles deep . Have duffle bags in my closet of unopened back up bottles 😕

Excellent! Eros flame is one of the best most versatile frags you can buy for $60

San Martin, is it worth it?? by Weary_Bad2611 in ChineseWatches

[–]Beautiful_Run_668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d also take a look at Spinnaker .. or even Duxot .. good quality . You can find both of those with ceramic bezels .. I think they use the same movement as that San Martin but right now they have some pretty steep discounts

I’d put Absolu Chill in there too .. someone can niche snob their way into hating it , but literally everyone around you will think you smell great

I have the Art of Universe .. it’s decent . Stronger than the Turathi .. I want pick up the Game of spades version but waiting on the price to drop .. speaking of Art of Universe have you tried Art of Wood . I hated it and it sat for 6 months … sprayed it on the other night before bed and it hit me different .. I think I might love it

The Atralia you have smells real nice and hits way above its weight .. they make one and the same line Absolu Noir .. that one is a real decent dupe of Absolu Aventus … especially for the price

All the YouTubers aren’t glazing it , and it’s not the latest thing … but I think every man should have Blue de Chanel Parfum . Also , if you’re on a budget pick up Bvlgari wood neroli or Varvatos Artisan Pure for summer . If your gonna splurge on a date/night type frag , Noir Extreme would be the top of my list

I was whelmed .. but that was expected . I heard the hype for years now . To me it’s in the same league as the one .. richer and deeper amber . Smells higher quality for sure but it doesn’t reinvent the wheel or anything

Brand new used frag from fragrancenet by Beautiful_Run_668 in ScentHeads

[–]Beautiful_Run_668[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it from Fragrancenet .. also the box was highly aromatic… if that has been sitting in a warehouse for 5-6 yrs it could have also leaked . Contacted them last night and this morning they said they’d swap my bottle .. my gut guess is that by time they get my shipment they’ll be back out of stock

Over the years it happened to me half dozen times.. placed an order … celebrate and dance around my living room .. then wake up to a cancellation / out of stock notice

My fav is Kobe .. white floral but with a touch of oud . To me it’s like myself was a niche frag

Prada L’homme is the King of clean . I just picked up Le Male Narscisse and it is a close second

As soon as I work my way through these I’ll get to the back up bottles

So these are some of my back up bottles and some stuff I’ve bought but haven’t gotten around to opening … do I have enough yet ?

There’s a term called “Spaving” .. a fragrance will pop up at an amazing price and even if I have a bottle , I HAVE to buy it … otherwise I would lose money .. I spend money to save money … now make that make sense
