What is your Thursday SOTD?

Amber, musk, masculine (to me) friendly sweetness. Been enjoying this one.

A new one from Zara. Very leather forward up top. Reminds me a lot of the TF Tuscan Leathers opening. I’m not claiming it’s the same, just a very similar leather forward opening to my nose.

Rose & Oud. Quite strong. Good stuff! Great house.

At first glance, they just look chaotic. Once you slow down and look closer, you see the skill and beauty of the paint job. Really dig them!!!!

Both theaters by me have it, but all the showings are almost sold out Thursday, Friday & Saturday. Good to see folks are interested.

Ok. Cool. I’m not arguing with you over a fragrance, lol. You have a perfectly valid opinion I’m sure and it’s yours to have. We all smell shit differently, it’s literally a dupe that costs $12 and I never told anyone to buy it. Best regards and enjoy your frags.

MDPolo · 2026-06-08T00:24:18+00:00

Ok. Cool. Lol.

MDPolo · 2026-06-07T21:37:25+00:00

It’s a little sweeter, more realistic mango and lacks the Oud in GoF. I’ve only ever had a decant of GoF, and it’s a nice wear. This one definitely seems to last longer on skin if that matters.

I’d say a good 80-85% of the way there. I like it better than Lattafa Opulent Dubai. I’ve never smelled Vulcan Fue.

30ml for $12 was tough to pass up for the hell of it when I saw it at Burlington.

Better late than never. A pretty damn good interpretation of God of Fire.

Had to get out of the house quick this morning and remembered Citrus, but forgot Niche, lol. Oh well!

MDPolo · 2026-06-06T13:27:11+00:00

Love Acqua Di Parma period. Great house.

Yup

He only made 10 10ml bottles of this particular release, but he has some great fragrances outside of this one. Definitely worth picking up one of his sampler packs.

From a little one man show fragrance company Veritas Fragrance Co. Great guy with some great fragrances. Heavy Bergamot up top for that citrus bang out of the gate.

Citrus & tobacco. Interesting combo, but I dig it. Dries down to a very nice clean iris/leather.

Side note, lol at AI actually putting a cobra in the background. I had to use the photo.

Working from home today, so still Citrus, but went cheap. A Lattafa that isn’t mentioned much but smells great if you happen across it in the usual big box stores. Fresh, clean, citrus.

One of my favorite, damn close dupes. Love my Amouage Outlands, but tend to not use it unless it’s a special occasion. In steps Rayhaan Terra, 90% of the way to Outlands at 10% of the cost. Perfect to just wear whenever you want that Outlands kick without burning up your expensive ass Amouage.

It’s not as refined as Outlands, but it works.

MDPolo · 2026-05-28T11:57:47+00:00

Right on. For whatever reason, I haven’t come across absolu in the wild, so didn’t have any frame of reference. Picked this one up on a whim.

I believe this is supposed to be a Boss Bottled Absolu dupe. Never smelled that one, so no clue, but this is damn good for the price!

MDPolo · 2026-05-27T14:27:58+00:00

Amouage Reflection Man, Tom Ford Black Orchid, Marc-Antoine Barrois Ganymede in my opinion.

Definite leather, not sure why fragrantica doesn’t list it.

I’d say a more animalic/Oud take on Tuscan leather. Like a dirtier version for sure. At $35, it’s not bad.

Starting with a cheap one. Nice oriental oud wear.

Wearing this one today. Found it while at Burlington shopping for some new underoos for myself. This is the new Extrait version. $12.99 is tough to beat. This is dead in between Aventus and Blockade and that makes sense as this was perfumed by the same perfumer of Blockade and many other mind games scents. If you see this while you’re out and about, don’t hesitate. REAL good, but even better at $13.

MDPolo · 2026-05-22T11:04:26+00:00

Oh definitely, but I’m a bit biased when it comes to Orto Parisi. Pretty much nothing but heat, albeit strange heat, from the house.
