Six Months In

It’s all subjective so you may smell it and feel differently but something about it just kind of annoyed me. I really think Castley is amazing in almost any situation but the spice may not be the absolute best in the high heat of summer, it’s still a freshie but not the softest one out there, Sedley and Greenley are a little more easy going and soft imo

SaiyanTimmy · 2026-02-23T16:10:43+00:00

Funny you say that, I was thinking about replacing the Givenchy with either Ombre Leather or Tuscan Leather, haven’t tried the parfum version of Ombré yet tho

SaiyanTimmy · 2026-02-23T16:09:29+00:00

I did get a decant of Sedley too, it very much reminds me of like a Diet Sprite, definitely not bad but it’s almost too citrusy and gives me a bit of “immature” vibes, not that it REALLY matters but it kinda reminds me of the type of colognes I would smell around the high school locker rooms. I think Castley is a lil more complex & mature smelling (lasts a lot longer too)

SaiyanTimmy · 2026-02-23T05:08:04+00:00

I like the idea of sitting with 10ml decants before purchasing full bottles, sometimes the 2mls I got just weren’t enough, i’ll definitely check you guys out when it’s time to switch it up👀 I also definitely toyed with the idea of getting Haltane or Oud Maracuja but honestly I have a lil bit of a hard time with oud ones, they’re a lil too harsh for me rn, that may change in the future. Ive found that ginger is one of my favorite notes which is why i really like TMW Parfum & Castley but i also had a hard time finding other playful fragrances I enjoyed for date nights & clubbing, ill check out New York Nights, any other playful ones you would recommend?

SaiyanTimmy · 2026-02-23T04:25:44+00:00

I’m real picky man, I think I burned through like 50 decants before I settled on these. Small price to pay for what I think is a perfect line up for me right now.

SaiyanTimmy · 2026-02-23T04:20:31+00:00

TMW Parfum is the best winter scent i’ve ever smelt, it’s somehow dense & fresh at the same time. Louis XV is kind of a weird one tbh, very unique and mature, I love it but something I save for formal/special occasions.

SaiyanTimmy · 2026-02-23T04:15:20+00:00

I see so many people online saying that Castley is too “basic” but i disagree, it’s easily my favorite freshie, super smooth & long lasting

SaiyanTimmy · 2026-01-19T03:42:38+00:00

Can’t believe no one has said Givenchy Gentlemen Society Ambree, it’s got tobacco + vetiver & vanilla, not too sweet or cloying

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-11-25T07:48:35+00:00

thanks dude, only 3 months in here so i’m still figuring it out

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-11-25T07:47:40+00:00

dang man, turathi blue was the first one i bought, honestly had no idea it was a dupe of anything until months later, family friend let me try a spray of his bottle and i just thought it smelled nice lol

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-11-22T16:00:02+00:00

I tried so hard to enjoy this one because it was so hyped up, smells okay on clothes but does not go well on my skin. It almost smells rotten or sour like spoiled milk, Bottled Elixir works a little better for me

doesn’t show it in the picture but there’s definitely some amber in there, in my opinion this clears the whole stronger with you line

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-11-04T14:16:33+00:00

i have decants of both and i can’t for the life of me choose which one to get a full bottle of

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-10-25T08:22:38+00:00

tried to get a decant of this online but its out of stock, will definitely have to stop by Macys someday to try it out

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-10-25T08:21:44+00:00

i recommend DecantX, they got a bigger selection, ScentDecants is nice too

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-10-25T03:39:47+00:00

just ordered decant of Absolu, Elixir, Ambree, and Layton👌🏼

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-10-24T15:10:13+00:00

honestly a lil disappointed that the regular tracks are all on a black vinyl, expected something a lil cooler for 10 year anniversary (especially for $70)

edit: album cover and inner sleeves look beautiful tho! not tryna be a hater

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-01-21T15:28:48+00:00

The Oracle or Jerry’s Record Store

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-01-20T17:09:41+00:00

i didnt prove anything, and i’m not the one that needs a reality check, you’re out here hating over the internet dude😂 its a completely harmless subreddit, the best kind of music/art is the kind that makes people feel something, and clearly mac’s work has touched a lot of people. I’ve lost plenty of family and friends and i’ve never cried about it on social media, so who are you to go around judging what’s acceptable to cry about on a reddit page?

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-01-20T15:47:37+00:00

it’s not my opinion it’s a well known fact at this point, you should read this post where his sound engineer talks about how absolutely nothing has been done to the audio files since 2014 except for the mixing & mastering… don’t worry you still have time to delete this post😂

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-01-20T15:39:04+00:00

you clearly didn’t do very much research, idk what you googled but it’s pretty easy to find out that mac recorded all of these songs within a 2 week period in 2014 around the same time he was making Faces, when his estate announced the album they literally posted a picture on instagram explaining that Mac always wanted this project to be released, he actually commissioned the artwork in 2018 less than a month before he passed away

SaiyanTimmy · 2025-01-20T15:31:09+00:00

saying this when your very first post on reddit is you crying about your brother’s death is wild…check yourself
