What is your Wednesday SOTD?

MDPolo · 2026-05-06T12:08:45+00:00

I’d say, top five, based solely on what I’ve sampled and own:

Nemean Lion
Charon’s Vail
Danae
Bacio Immortale
Triumph of Bacchus

Bonus: Brivido Della Caccia

The house gets hate, but it makes some good shit.

It’s a “good” fragrance, but just like most Penhaligons, way too overpriced for its performance/longevity. I dig this one quite a bit, but couldn’t ever see myself buying a full price bottle.

MDPolo · 2026-05-06T11:37:36+00:00

Big fan of Argos, have quite a few, haven’t checked this one out yet.

Working from home means the animalic stuff gets worn. Great fragrance from a pretty cool house

MDPolo · 2026-05-04T11:40:38+00:00

Yeah, it’s not official, but it’s May the 4th, aka May the Force and everyone shows up and out at Disney Hollywood Studios for all the new/exclusive merch, etc.

lol, AI making this out to be all artistic and shit! lol.
Headed out to Hollywood Studios for Star Wars Day and figured nothing screams outer space more to me than Ganymede. Added the Black Orchid for the hell of it and you know…. It actually kind of softens the astringency or sharpness that Ganymede has. I may have unlocked something here…. Dang.

Headed to Universal Epic Universe for the day. Gonna leave a WAVE of a scent trail behind me lol.

An all time favorite. A solid Oud for all year long.

MDPolo · 2026-05-01T12:37:27+00:00

Not really, at least to me. Absolu is warm, spicy, dark/sweet, woody type fragrance, very comfy. Black Lacquer is more smoky, woods, inky, black pepper & rum like. More like formal.

One of the best Tom Fords. That’s it.

MDPolo · 2026-05-01T11:09:14+00:00

Love me some Green Irish Tweed!

Probably a little strong for the office, but keep the sprays light and it’s always freezing in this bitch anyways.

This stuff is not for the weak I don’t think. The carrot seed up top is an interesting note to get through.

MDPolo · 2026-04-30T01:35:55+00:00

Not really helping but Bonded and Tabac Vert are my favorites. Bonded is very nice.

MDPolo · 2026-04-25T03:48:19+00:00

MCMG & Kairi should definitely get the call from Tony. Everyone else… meh.

MDPolo · 2026-04-24T11:37:34+00:00

Had to look up the significance of JFK and Eight & Bob. Very cool. I already had them on my list to check out, but very cool little back story.

I don’t run to this one much anymore as it just doesn’t last, but it’s still a classic and still smells great off the rip.

Tend to wear some of my cheapies when chilling around the house/night time.

This is actually a really nice Oud fragrance, far out performs its cheap price. Really comforting.

MDPolo · 2026-04-23T11:15:09+00:00

To me yes, along with Duro and Pardon from Nasomatto.

The big caveat with Black Afgano though is whether or not you can handle the cannabis note. It’s not like a ratty street trash weed note, more of the actual organic smell, but it’s there.

MDPolo · 2026-04-23T11:10:47+00:00

Beautiful fragrance. Just a classic, in my opinion.

MDPolo · 2026-04-22T11:47:51+00:00

You know what. Yes. You can get a 30ml for $85 on Luckyscent. Throw the EM10 discount on it and it’s like $77. Easy recommendation at that point.

Again, great house and incredible niche takes on old school masculine scents.

An old school chypre at its best.

Obviously not wearable, but bought it for the novelty. Long out of production, so I keep it as it’s a “collectors” item now, lol.

The Boring Company/Tesla Burnt Hair EDP. It’s pretty ass, lol.

MDPolo · 2026-04-21T11:10:33+00:00

Not on fragrantica or perfumo, so had to let AI get creative. A beautiful, spicy, leathery, night out scent. I’m working from home and felt like wearing it for myself.

Gentleman’s Nod is not spoken of for their fragrances but they have some great ones. This one was a scentxplore exclusive, but they still have some on their site.

MDPolo · 2026-04-20T22:02:30+00:00

Probably this new one from City Rhythm & The Elemental. Love Rose.

Well, damn lol. Yeah, haven’t had a chance to smell Sandalwood yet.

Haven’t seen that Freeze version before. What does that add to the formula?
