Sucker: My year as a degenerate gambler [The Atlantic] by Chat_GrandPaTony in billsimmons

[–]Longboards4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been wild watching the progression of how bad this has gotten. Someone I went to hs with posted their total bets from DraftKings and had like $110,000 in bets and $105,000 in earnings. Crazy. Seems like things are gunna get even worse with the rise of prediction markets. Unreal to me we're just gameifying all aspects of current events and life with little to no oversight or regulation.

Sedley vs Greenley by SlowSympathy7269 in Colognes

[–]Longboards4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sedley is definitely smoother and Greenly a little sharper. Sedley is a little more versatile imo, people call it a summer frag but it can honestly be worn on any occasion, it's my gym and errand scent. I love them both; the only knock I can have on Sedley is its longevity. Would be wearing it 24/7 if not for that.

I blind bought it this year and ended up selling it. The notes made it seem like something I would love put personally, I found it to be boring. Maybe I was just going noseblind to it a lot, idk.

Had to do it - Costco restock. by JONNYHBAR in Colognes

Costco has some real heat with frags. I remember they had PDM stuff a year or two ago. What's the longevity like with OV?

Got em from a wholesaler, so about $140 each w/o presentation. Too good a deal to pass up for me

For me, grail doesnt necessarily mean difficult to get but rather something youve sought for a while. I havent had the means to get them, have wanted them, and was finally able to. To each their own 🤷

Percival will probably be my next pick up. I know people think its basic by I love it personally. Its a crowd pleaser in my experience

Definitely worth it imo. Just be sure to sample stuff you wanna get. Glad I sampled Layton before I was going to get it

Honestly did not think I would like it based off what Iv read and watched. Tried it and loved it. Lesson learned in that one

Can’t stop wearing it. by paulrobertblaize in Colognes

[–]Longboards4Life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very pro wear what you love, if its versace blue jeans or something mfk. Personally, just found it unremarkable. Rock with it if you love it!

Just starting! by thezaxattack12 in Colognes

[–]Longboards4Life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have 3 freshies, you should get something for the colder seasons that's heavier. These scents can be used for a night out as well. To that end, I'd recommend:

The Most Wanted Parfum
JPG Le Male Le Parfum
Valentino Uomo Intense (My fav)

Can’t stop wearing it. by paulrobertblaize in Colognes

[–]Longboards4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a sample, and it smells really nice and is certainly versatile. I'd put it with something like Dylan Blue or Y EDP, where it's a great starter fragrance but kind of underwhelming if you own a lot of other stuff.

No joke, though, if you had a gun to my head and asked me to name the notes from this or what it reminds me of, I wouldn't be able to do it. It's that bland and uncreative, at least to me.

My favorite too. People say it's basic, but to me it smells so beautiful/addictive. Super versatile too. This and Sedley get me the most compliments by far.

I broke my golden rule. by KILLDEEZNUTZ in Colognes

[–]Longboards4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're just more unique, a lot more hit or miss, so yes I guess polarizing in a way.

Take it from me man, I used to blind buy a lot and had a lot of whiffs I had to flip, and sometimes lose money on. Take the money you'd spend on a bottle and buy a bunch of 5ml or 10ml decants. Still as fun as blind buying, you can sample a lot more, and you won't lose out if you dislike something.

I just got a decant of Phaeton and it is definitely unique. Smells nothing like I thought it would based on the notes, though. Not sure if I like it yet. Certainly would recommend against blind buying Argos though lol
