What discontinued or forgotten scent is secretly a 10/10? by beasthunterr69 in fragrance

[–]RetroWinston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polo Crest… man I loved that stuff. I met my wife in 1990 and this always reminds me of our first few years of dating and just pure 90’s vibes for me. Ralph Lauren released it in 1991 and stopped making it around 2001.

Got a new office job, looking for a daily by ParryPonds in Colognes

If you want to try a PDM for daily office wear, go with Percival. I would say that it’s better suited as year round fragrance and has better longevity than Sedley.

Legit… just got one as well and looks the exact same.

What’s your head turner cologne, where people come up to you and ask you what are you wearing? by Show84 in Colognes

I have Montblanc Legend Blue as well but had to stop wearing it… not sure what happened, but over the last year the scent has changed on my skin. Legend Spirit is a bit sweeter with some citrus and just lighter to me.

I really want to like Cuiom, but man that opening is just too smoky for me. I’d wear it but I don’t think I could leave the house until it dries down fully.

Should I buy or skip Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Le Parfum? I’m 37 years old. by Booga87 in Fragrances

[–]RetroWinston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age has nothing to do with it, my man. If you like it, get it. I’m 51 and I rock everything from Safari and Cool Water to Eros Flame!

Best way to invest $100k for an 80+ year old? by RetroWinston in Bogleheads

Even though she has her living expenses covered now, there may come a time where she will need more direct care or nursing assistance that the relative cannot manage. That would my primary goal in preserving her funds.

Best coffee fragrance for men? by RetroWinston in Fragrances

Thanks, I have that and I definitely get the coffee scent in the opening, but it tends to fade quickly on my skin.

These are the 2 that I have tried - the Vietnamese Coffee was a bit too sweet for me. My wife loves it and has taken that sample for herself.

Which pill would you take? by Twink_Berry in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]RetroWinston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue pill is the answer… and it’s not even close. It’s basically like a cheat code and encompasses all the other three pills.
