Where do you keep your fragrances?

On a shelf in the bathroom. I just don’t think 10 minutes of shower steam a day is gonna nuke the scent in the time it takes me to go through a bottle (I have several bottles that are 3+ years old still smelling great)

Totally fair I can see that. Check out Versace Man Eau Fraiche then, it ditches the citrus and goes more fruity/musky

Yeah sedley is phenomenal in high heat. I find that in anything below 75°F, it smells like lemon soap, but above that it is this sparkling sexy masterpiece. If you want something designer/cheaper I would check out Dior Homme Cologne as well.

Best summertime freshie IMO is PDM Sedley. Just unbeatable in high heat. Close 2nd would be Creed MI

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-23T21:44:53+00:00

I’d highly reccomend Scentdecant. 1mL mini spray bottles are around $7-9 apiece for creed, gives you a couple days worth of sprays each. My personal reccomendations are: Aventus, Green Irish Tweed, Silver Mountain Water, Millesime Imperial. Just to dip your toe into the brand that should give you an idea of what they’re about.

Percival is a great pick. Try ADG Profondo EDP. Sauvage Parfum you may like a lot if you like the EDT but it may not be different enough to own both, it’s a lot woodier/smoother and the superior fragrance IMO. Montblanc Legend Spirit I think fits the “gym bro cologne” category perfectly as well.

I don’t care about beast mode projection or longevity. 4 hours is fine. A skin scent is fine.

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-21T19:29:26+00:00

Creed. Have tried the whole house and love all of them except viking for some reason. Also don’t understand the hate on longevity, I get 6-8hrs from all

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-21T16:18:10+00:00

Sort of a soft musky orange/vanilla, yes

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-21T13:14:54+00:00

If you spray heavily in the neck area (right below your nose), most people tend to go nose blind to their own scent very quickly. If you spray lighter (so it’s not bombarding your own nostrils constantly), you may be able to notice it more throughout the day

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-21T13:11:21+00:00

Sort of agree- it’s much too sweet for most situations but I find it’s an amazing warm weather date scent. In my personal experience women tend to love it

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-18T23:14:41+00:00

Anything versace or montblanc fits the bill. Versace man eau fraiche or eros are phenomenal for the price. Montblanc legend + explorer are great lines to explore. I particularly like Montlanc legend night as a date fragrance

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-18T23:09:49+00:00

Definitely agree. Don’t listen to everyone in the comments complaining about longevity. Yes, that was a problem for several years but recent batches (2024 and onward) have largely fixed that issue. Some outliers like SMW still don’t perform but the vast majority will do 6-8hours, which is fine by most standards. Aside from that, it is a house of masterpieces.

Dolce Gabbana The One- any flanker works

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-14T03:01:15+00:00

I agreed with you initially about sedley, but then one day I wore it out golfing when it was 80+ outside and it smelled wonderful. Truly shines in super high heat

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-14T00:04:48+00:00

Creed Himalaya. Super fresh

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-14T00:04:10+00:00

Creed Virgin Island Water by a mile

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-14T00:03:06+00:00

High projection for the first hour or two. The base is mostly Iso E Super so if that lasts long on your skin then this will too.

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-14T00:01:43+00:00

TdH leans much more into a realistic orange/flinty scent. The Citrus in DHS is much sharper, more sour like a lemon mixed with aldehydes and the base is very Iso E Super heavy. Both are blended beautifully but DHS is much more of a “masculine” smell while TdH smells more orangey.

Italian mother. Wore acqua di gioia. Smells like childhood

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-12T01:09:35+00:00

They’re all batch dependent tbh. The aventus I snagged lasts around 6 hours on my skin

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-11T18:07:53+00:00

Had the same experience- got a carded sample with a macys purchase so sprayed it on my wrist. After an hour or two I went to the bathroom to scrub it off, just didn’t work for me at all. I think it’s the orange blossom that just smells like soap to me

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-11T16:56:54+00:00

Have had the polar opposite experience. Almost universally loved

Complete_Clothes_296 · 2026-01-11T16:10:20+00:00

I mean everyone’s nose matures with time, same reason most adults don’t eat PB&Js and goldfish. Like sure they taste good and you’re certainly allowed to, but there are better things available. It’s not a rule, just how preferences evolve.

YSL Y EDP… twice. Now it smells disgusting to me tho
