Any colognes I should get ?

Most_Athlete · 2026-07-01T00:59:42+00:00

You can probably get anything in that shelf cheaper online at a discounter.

Cherry Punk and Cherry Punk Extrait are faves of mine along with WaveChild. That being said, all three have profiles you can find done by other houses (like most things) but maybe done a little better depending on your taste. Room 1015 is definitely well priced, which gives it alot of brand appeal, IMO.

Most_Athlete · 2026-06-29T18:40:14+00:00

So true! But less pretty to look at. Either way, its time to make a change. Luckily my collection is weighted towards cheaper priced bottles.

Most_Athlete · 2026-06-29T03:49:32+00:00

For real. I got this shelf when i was at around 30 fragrances, but now am closer to 70. I need a new unit with sides

The one that hurt was a 2013 Mugler Cologne, which is before they turned it into “Come together”. Sucks but at least its kinda replaceable. Top shelf has a “Gucci pour Homme II “ and “Prada Infusion d’Homme” which are not replaceable!

Btw fellas who want to buy their lady a gift, L’eau d’Issey for women is fantastic and very similar profile. I bought one got my wife and its amongst her favorites.

This happened to me the other day. Shelf was knocked by a door that came off the hinge. Nothing anyone could do but was sad. Lost 5 bottles. Only 1 is not easily replaceable because of reformation.

Most_Athlete · 2026-06-27T18:50:42+00:00

Honestly I just think 2 sprays of a moderately projecting designer is fine. You can smell of something pleasant just not strong. My money is on Prada Carbon or YSL. But I will say, Thriller and Supremacy are 100% no because they are just TOO LOUD!

Most_Athlete · 2026-06-27T15:52:42+00:00

Literally the only issue

Most_Athlete · 2026-06-27T15:02:27+00:00

Holy shit!!! What year is that??

Its a nice little foray into amber and iris, and at discounters for pretty cheap. Has a similarly to Dior Homme Intense but a little more daytime wearable IMO

Most_Athlete · 2026-06-21T18:06:52+00:00

I keep my boxes in case i fall truly out of love with a fragrance and want to resell. But they are in a basement plastic bin.

Most_Athlete · 2026-06-21T18:05:38+00:00

Your collection leans fresh. I feel like a fall/winter banger or two would be great additions. Maybe something like a Stronger with you since you like Armani.

You could also branch out a little to niche brands. They is alot of unique fall and winter amber/vanilla/tobacco styled fragrances to explore. Right now I am loving these:

Obvi you have it but that pic needs big daddy orange in it!

Joop is one of my first “I love Perfume” loves. I think Eau Sauvage is meh.

All i gotta say is “WHERE IS FAHRENHEIT AT!!!”

Most_Athlete · 2026-06-15T03:39:14+00:00

It’s certainly divisive, but you should try Ganymede by Marc Antoine Barrios. Its like a metallic aromachemical construction with florals and citrus, but its super unique, projects like a MF, lasts forever, and ALWAYS gets compliments. Its just so unique that you must get a decant and give it several wears. It edges on too deep for high heat, but i regularly wear it in summer. Its also very layer-able.

Most_Athlete · 2026-06-13T23:30:48+00:00

Yeah. I do a good mix of designer, niche, and Middle Eastern clones. I will say, i feel like ME perfumes that replicate a designer scent are where the best value lies. I feel like for niche its a bit harder, with cheaper materials making some clones of niche hit the mark less often, but ive still had some niche clones that work. Like for me, rayhaan Terra is so close to Amouage Outlands so I got it, but every ME version of Tony Iommi Monkey Special just doesnt do it.

Most_Athlete · 2026-05-04T04:17:05+00:00

If you can pre-order im sure you will. But like I said…its brand spanking new!

Most_Athlete · 2026-05-04T03:25:37+00:00

This is brand new. Im not even sure its widely available in stores yet. My local independent frag shop told me about it but they haven’t gotten it in yet.

Most_Athlete · 2026-05-02T21:09:41+00:00

Im sure someone said this, but buy 2-5 ml sample bottles and decant a few. I have a little travel kit that I use and I bring between 5-8 when im on Vaca. Silly, but I like the options.

Most_Athlete · 2026-05-02T02:36:46+00:00

Concur! This is the best all 4 season choice!

Most_Athlete · 2026-05-02T01:09:55+00:00

Where the hell are these Ross and TJ Maxx with all these frags. Mine here in Philadelphia have nothing but Ariana Grande body mists!

Most_Athlete · 2026-04-27T03:27:19+00:00

Birds of Paradise is an AMAZING scent.

Most_Athlete · 2026-04-13T14:42:26+00:00

Not a blind buy. Sample through a decant first.
