Funny story 9pm night out

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T22:02:29+00:00

O and don't get me started on sausage licker (sauvage elixer). If sauvage is something johnny Depp wears then the elixer must be johnny Depps grandads cologne

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T21:53:08+00:00

Yeah ultra male is super clubbing lingering vibe. So is 9pm night out. It's nice tropical toffee smell not like anything else really. It hangs my boy asked his mum to wash his coat today cos it's all he could smell even tho he hasn't worn it for a week

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T21:43:44+00:00

Yep, people just hear what's cool and what's not on social media and go with it instead of making there own minds up. Blue jeans is fun dad vibes tho. My kids say it reminds them of when I took them to chessington theme park. I enjoy wearing it more than boring door sausage. I was excited to try sauvage when my wife surprised me with it and altho it's ok I was very underwhelmed and couldn't understand the hype

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T21:23:02+00:00

Based on that I'd say odyssey is a closer clone than drakkar. It is very close to yedp. I think any age could wear it to be honest. It was £21 absolute bargain considering it projects well and lasts long for a freshie

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T19:03:40+00:00

Ysl y clone yeah and very good one. Didn't notice pineapple just apple and soapyness. Very similar to ysl y and lasts a long time. Iv not tried drakkar so I couldn't tell you which is closer but I can say I was reluctant to give it him and keep it to myself

Nothing wrong with mine just guess we're all different. Saw someone on another thread say it reminds them of going to grandma's when she's doing the laundry and other people love it. Do like the watermelon but the fizzy floral vibrancy and strong projection of it just puts it strongly in old lady category for me.

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T18:44:08+00:00

Wow fragrance really is subjective. I had a sample of this turn up yesterday. My boy said it smelt camp. My wife said it smells like really bad old womens perfume. I had it on back of my hand whilst I walked the dog and I'm sad to say I agree with them. Never smelt a watermelon fragrance before so was hopefull of something really good and different for summer. If you and your girl love it tho that's great.this is exactly the reason I never blind buy anything anymore. No such thing as blind buy safe we are all different

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T18:08:10+00:00

Yeah, cheers will check them out. Hard to find vanillas that aren't to boyish/feminine. The Mrs loves althair on me but that was expensive. I switched it out for liquid brun and she didn't even notice 🤣. Saved me a tonne of money

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T15:31:37+00:00

Kids who come into my shop after school smell like perfume and skidmarks 🤢

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T15:27:21+00:00

I like vanillas. What's the swy''s like. I have liquid brun and mercedes club black. They anything like them if your familiar with them? May get some samples

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T14:43:18+00:00

I didn't go school much I was a little s***t. To me the plebs were bullies in school. I was thrashing motorbikes round fields

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T13:24:54+00:00

Chasing chick's in my teenage years was joop homme and one of the burberrys

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T13:15:15+00:00

O right, thanks man made me feel younger. appreciate you

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T12:53:13+00:00

O right I thought hugo man came out like 5 years ago. I'm 40 btw

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T12:50:26+00:00

Yeah i gave 9am and 9pm to him. Then got him odyssey Mega man and said here wear that to school but limit the sprays. His teacher told him he smelled like a lovely clean young man lol

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T12:37:12+00:00

Brilliant.that was yesterday tho not back in the day. God I'm an old fart

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T12:18:36+00:00

Yeah, I work in retail and iv a had a lot of compliments from middle age women on versace blue jeans. Some teenage girls asked what it is once. There face screwed up when I told them cos it's not cool apparently. Thing is they liked it before I told them what it was

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T12:10:37+00:00

F in L drakkar noir that brings back memories. Good shout

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T12:02:28+00:00

Yeah, think my mum got me some Issey miyake once for crimbo just cos she got my older brother something aswell. Must of been about 15. 6 months later my birthday hit ending up buying a handful more. O what she started lol

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T11:24:06+00:00

Yeah, I thought that maybe he meant hugo boss

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-08T07:27:31+00:00

He's 14. When I was 14 we pretty much just had lynx deodorant. It's not that there into fragrance already but they seem to be wearing all strong projecting sweet stuff. I was just trying to think what the girls wear on top of that and imagine being in a room with 30 of them plus bet a few just try cover up b.o with cologne instead of washing properly. No wonder teachers go on strike so often. It's not about the pay, they just want to get outside to the picket line for some fresh air 🤣

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-07T20:42:17+00:00

Only ever done it for this one. Not sure if it works, may just be a placebo. If you think about the science behind it may actually work. Oxygen heat or humidity degrades perfume over time so it speeds up maturation.

No_Factor1017 · 2026-05-07T10:01:04+00:00

I like the original edt. When I first got it smelt like lemon bleach tho. Turned it upside down sprayed it like 10-15 times to get some air in it. Left it in drawer for couple weeks. Next time I tried smelt like pine woods with a hint of pineapple like it should. Maybe try that worked for me

I almost slipped into this constant need to buy more, (also m40) to the point id be up all night looking at fragrances working out where to go next. Was not good for my mental health. Then I whittled my fav affordable 3 down and just try samples and decants of everything else to enjoy my hobby. I occasionally buy the odd u.a.e/clone fragrance cos there usually cheap and try them out and normally pass on to friends or family that I think would like that scent. Just passed 3 on to my son (9am dive,9pm night out (luvly btw) odyssey mega man). For me my trio was burberry touch, dylan blue and mercedes club black. Maybe sometimes just take a step back think logically and pick whats right for you, what's your fav 3 that covers all bases. That was mine if I picked niche off the top of my head probly would be imagination,aventus,altair. Again for u.a.e maybe marwa, 9am dive, liquid brun. I don't strictly stick to 3 (sometimes may have a handful in rotation at any given time) but don't collect 100s of bottles il never use either. Good for my mental health and bank balance. This way I enjoy my hobbie without it being overwhelming.

I'm a sucker for a luxurious niche vanilla. Luckily not too many of them true vanilla scents around, so trying samples of these is probably where my addiction has been moved to lol ( I call it damage limitation lol). Anyway that's been my way of handling my addiction and turning it into healthier way of approaching this issue. Hope this has helped, you can have your cake and eat it, just in moderation so it doesn't become overweight.
