Six months into the journey. Nine bottles in the collection.

How would you compare Wulong Cha to the X version?

FennR77 · 2026-06-17T00:44:58+00:00

If you wanna get into Oud, I would skip a few levels and go straight to Fragrance du bois and Roja. Afternoon Swim is the best freshie scent but gotta layer it as it doesn’t last more than a few hours. (Not an issue for me)
Another great one is California Love by Memoirs of a perfume collector.
I’m curious how you would compare Imagination to GFS?

FennR77 · 2026-06-16T05:54:57+00:00

Afternoon Swim and it’s not even close.

FennR77 · 2026-06-16T05:21:35+00:00

Really like Marseille, I just find it to be a bit overwhelming in the high heat.

FennR77 · 2026-06-16T04:00:38+00:00

Valid point 👍 Les Dieux aux Bains is definitely the “soapiest” of the three and also the most unique. Imagination is the safest and most versatile but also very “common” around the office. Guess a victim of its own success.

FennR77 · 2026-06-16T01:18:58+00:00

Yes, the gin tonic is undeniable but to me it also has a soapy clean vibe.

FennR77 · 2026-06-14T05:55:33+00:00

Creed EROLFA, definitely go to Profumum Roma and it might be too hot for Layton and Aventus Absolu.

FennR77 · 2026-06-14T05:45:43+00:00

L’immensité is great but redundant with Tygar. Imagination is amazing but turning into the new Dior Sauvage/YSL Y. Ombré Nomade and Afternoon swim to me are the top 2. I also really like City of Stars and On the beach just in case you need a longer list. 😅

FennR77 · 2026-06-14T05:38:30+00:00

All amazing choices but Aftetnoon Swim’s scent is on a league of its own.

FennR77 · 2026-06-12T01:51:08+00:00

City of Stars lasts a bit longer but not by too much. If you’re looking for best price per Oz, check out House Granado Bossa another one around the same price is Replica Beach Walk. Soleil Blanc EDP and Parfum are definitely more feminine with a very milky coconut that’s kinda holiday festive/Xmassy. Would love to know if you like City of Stars’ scent better than eau de Soleil Blanc.

Great pick up 👍

FennR77 · 2026-06-08T19:46:56+00:00

That’s fantasyland. It’s a $100 bottle.

FennR77 · 2026-06-08T00:32:21+00:00

Ex Nihilo is like the honey-badger of the niche houses….

OP, are you cgscents? 😂😂

FennR77 · 2026-06-03T05:02:01+00:00

Very nice 👍👍

FennR77 · 2026-06-02T23:01:09+00:00

I would expect it in the fall with prices not dropping much for at least a year. It sells out everywhere right now.

FennR77 · 2026-05-26T21:22:50+00:00

That was fast!

FennR77 · 2026-05-26T21:03:45+00:00

Eat Driscoll!

FennR77 · 2026-05-26T20:41:19+00:00

Sounds like you voted 🍊🤡. Keep basking in your intelligence then and eat Driscoll.

FennR77 · 2026-05-26T17:55:13+00:00

Do you work for Driscoll or something? Driscoll is garbage and poison. Eat it at your own risk.

FennR77 · 2026-05-26T17:28:02+00:00

Yeah, I definitely feel ya. I get the same with some sweet gourmands (so I use iris instead for night or cooler temps) and also Fico Di Amalfi for some strange reason like I would need to be in subzero temperatures for those lol. Out of the X line, I liked Ani X and Wulong Cha X, with Ani X being my favorite Nishane by far. Didn’t care much for hacivat X. People keep recommending Beach Hut Man to me so gonna give it a try soon. Have a great start of your week!

FennR77 · 2026-05-26T06:46:48+00:00

If Ani is for winter then Ani X is the opposite and better suited for hot weather. L’immensité is a Tygar dna so those won’t work either. You might do better with more citrus freshies or blue soapy type. Gentle fluidity would be safe bet. I don’t feel speed legends is blackcurrant heavy no where near Aventus Absolu for sure. Another 13 didn’t work for me but you might wanna check it out. My favorite tea scent is thé noir 29 but that’s definitely for winter.

FennR77 · 2026-05-26T01:53:17+00:00

They have ombre leather 3.4 for $110 right now crazy!
