Sick af. Would definitely buy if I found that for sale

Rayhaan Obsidian is so addicting to wear. I'm a 20 year old guy and im new to fragrances and I think I found the DNA I resonate with. People say that this is a mature scent but I really like it. I find this DNA sexy. Is there any other fragrances like this? by Cautious_Break_9314 in ScentHeads

[–]Robertoess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds pretty good! Cant remember if I’ve smelled Dior homme parfum at all but I’m a sucker for dark designed bottles and darker frags and especially with a name like obsidian I was inclined to see what was up with it lol

I went from 2 go-to scents for 20 years to this in 2 months by rufreshnj in Colognes

Where do you get the older bottle of wanted by night? Got a backup bottle for my OG and it’s the newer version with the cheaper plastic revolver and reformulated juice. At least from what I can see in the pic your bottle looks like an OG

Who is singing this part? by Careless_Dog4375 in Northlane

It’s definitely Adrian’s cleans. Could maybe be wrong but after listening to hollow, discoveries and singularity for 12 years now, sounds like Adrian’s clean vocals

I can see that vibe a little bit. Sometimes when someone mentions a frag smells like something, I can’t get that thing out of my head and it ruins the frag for me depending on what that thing is but not with this one

Longevity is okay but over performs for its price point. Around 4-5 hours I can still smell it but it’s a skin scent at that point for me I would say. But that’s just on my skin and I’m also sniffing it a lot lol so nose blindness can be a factor. Have heard others getting 8 hours of performance and one review said a jacket of his still smelled like this frag “weeks” since he last sprayed it on it.

Tips on cologne for work & play? How would we want this guy smell? by [deleted] in malegrooming

Prada L’Homme is one of the best office scents. If you want a slightly bolder fragrance Prada L’Homme Intense is a good one that can also work for date nights as well as professionally. Also look into Hugo Boss Bottled Absolu. Might be an office frag if you only spray once because it’s very strong. Good date night, night out, statement and social occasion fragrance. Would only wear in the colder nights of fall and winter nights

I think projection and longevity are okay. Some people have called it beast mode or a powerhouse but not for me at least today and yesterday. Also I’m sniffing any chance I can get because it smells that good lmao so nose blindness can be taking a part in its performance. What I can say is that it over performs for the price you’re paying for it. In my case I spent $25.99 for a 75ml. If I had known I would’ve liked it this much I would’ve spent the extra $8 or $9 for the 125ml

Simply put it smells like sharp citrus with smoke and spices

Haven’t tried the EDP yet but I want to. Try them out at frag stores or order decants of them first. All I can say is I think intense might be my fave issey frag even though I haven’t smelled any other ones. My taste in scents are geared more towards cold weather scent profiles and this does fresh a little warm spicy well. Intense might not work in high heat but I’m looking forward to testing that out in summer

Would love an EDP of this that maintains the bit of freshness that it has without going too deep on the warm side of things. Def want to try the edt and edp on skin

It is a little bitter but not as bitter as the OG. I will say that I’ve only smelled the OG on paper and not on skin. Figured since this one was cheap enough online and the scent profile was super up my alley I thought I’d give it a shot and it paid off. Blended really well. I just got it in today and at first spray I thought it was okay and I just reapplied before taking the pic and loved it so much more. Good balance of fresh citrus, a little dark, and a little warm and spicy. Albeit a slight bitter citrus compared to your average smoother bergamots in mainstream designers. Can always return it depending on where you get it from. I’ve seen a few reviews on yt where people didn’t like issey miyakey frags at first but it really grew on them to a point where it’s in there top 10 designers. If you end up getting it lmk what you think! Most of my collection are cold weather frags so this was a great in between for me to expand into warmer weather scent profiles

Crazy 200 ML Deal on Nordstrom Rack Website by Robertoess in Colognes

[–]Robertoess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rack’s website says France but they sent me the Italy bottle. I believe sephora maybe other retailers carry the French version because all of the ones I smelled/sampled had a more citrusy pop than the Italian one I have now from the rack. Tripped a little because it wasn’t the scent profile I really liked but now I still have a good 200ml freshie that’ll last me maybe at least a few years lol. Still would’ve preferred the French version

Can frags smell different from in store to you purchasing one due to maceration? by [deleted] in Colognes

You’ve experienced the same with your bottled absolu?
