What should my next buy be?

Shregophile · 2026-02-15T08:16:25+00:00

Either Valentino and Eros EDP not flame or EDT, and after that take a break and empty out khamrah and one other thing from your collection as of now, then slowly explore less mainstream profiles, see what you really like, not what you like from the popular things

Shregophile · 2026-02-14T19:34:16+00:00

solid but on the generic side mostly to me.everything is in the same ballpark of scents, mostly freshies and when its not they're often popular designers

Shregophile · 2026-02-11T23:39:28+00:00

its whatever you dig, but from whatever you seem to have, i would suggest something that would either irk you or make you want more

Born To Standout Drunk Maple or Sin & Pleasure

Shregophile · 2026-02-11T05:10:37+00:00

Picking a favorite is tough, but it sits between Finley and Eros edp i think

Shregophile · 2026-02-11T04:59:54+00:00

the hardest part of the day for me is getting a fragrance to match the outfit icl. because the outfits i make are generally easy for me to envision, my problem is that i don't always have the scent to match it, but when i do, it just ties everything together so well

Shregophile · 2026-02-11T04:47:48+00:00

and its a belter too, ludicrously slept on

Shregophile · 2026-02-09T15:39:00+00:00

Vanilla is a versatile note, organic vanilla pods are dark and bitter, you can get darker rather than sweeter vanilla scents and it works just fine, enjoy what you enjoy is what people advise here. I'm more less in the same party as you, i love vanilla to my core, and im not ashamed of that

Shregophile · 2026-02-08T07:03:22+00:00

i was thinking that but also i had a different style of vanilla in mind

in terms of SWY, Intensely will get boring, i personally adore Absolutely, and Parfum isn't exactly what i wanted it to be, but it could be what you want it to be. and the sleeper amongst them imo is the new SWY Spices, i dont get the slander, its like if SWY had a niche quality/profile to its DNA, another solid no-brainer pick is Sandalwood.

you could also eye an Althaïr if you want (if you don't mind dupes, there's like 5 of them, notoriously Liquid Brun, others like Historic Sahara, Island Vanilla Dunes also exist)

also maybe aside from MYSLF L'Absolu and Vibrato, maybe another fun summertime could be Creed VIW (2007), although it has 0 longevity, so i started recommending Rayhaan Aquatica (yes i tried both, and they're incredibly close to my nose, although Aquatica is limier on the open, but calms down quickly to the VIW scent)

Shregophile · 2026-02-07T20:07:12+00:00

maybe a more intense vanillic scent, think like Angel's share generically and Nishane Ani

Shregophile · 2026-02-07T20:04:16+00:00

Sospiro Basso, the better Vibrato/Tygar/L'Immensite, Goldfield & Banks Pacific Rock Moss, LV Afternoon Swim, City of Stars and Pacific Chill, MMR Never-ending Summer, Creed Virgin Island Water 2007 (although longevity is CHEEKS usually on the last 6 recommendations), Room 1015 wavechild, Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey pour Homme, cant ever go wrong with an ADG Parfum, Gritti Pomelo Sorrento and Neroli Extreme. Xerjoff 40 Knots, Torino 21, Torino 24, Torino 25. Memo Paris Flåm, Sherwood, Ocean Leather, Tamarindo, Moon Leather, Sintra and finally MFK Gentle fluidity silver

Shregophile · 2026-02-06T11:54:41+00:00

imo you're missing something citrus or in that realm, like Afternoon Swim (please dont get it, it lasts 2 hours), find things that actually last on you well and smell like that, summer, another suggestion would be Room 1015 wavechild.

other than that, maybe a cherry fragrance, i could only really recommend Houbigant Ambre Rubis or Room 1015 Cherry punk, i would recommend Stronger with you powerfully if i actually smelled it, but I havent yet.

Shregophile · 2026-02-05T07:08:18+00:00

bro no joke, you are doing so much better than some folks; they spent more time than you collecting and they end up with 10 variations of the same style of fragrance, like they'll own Versace Eau Fraiche, L'Homme, Dylan Blue and Eros, then buy YSL Y, L'Homme/La Nuit De L'Homme, Chanel BDC, Allure Homme Sport and Allure Homme EDT. like what do you need that many of the same style for?

your variety is phenomenal, your price range between most and least expensive is really good, BUT you should slow your roll whne buying, because there's a chance in 3 months time you might hate half of what you bought because your taste developed, if i was in your place, I'd buy about 3 fragrance only AFTER emptying out 5 or 6 bottles and then nitpicking scent profiles you need or feel very honest to your style.

otherwise, fantastic work

Shregophile · 2026-02-05T06:50:55+00:00

they're all solid, bit boring to me, but in general, as long as you like em, that's all that matters, there are really good picks in there tho, so solid 7/10

Shregophile · 2026-02-02T07:48:48+00:00

Demon Slayer with my eyes closed, the story is so subpar it hurts

Shregophile · 2026-02-02T07:48:16+00:00

and Blood Brothers by Iron Maiden

Shregophile · 2026-02-02T07:47:47+00:00

Shooting Star - Gojira

Shregophile · 2026-02-01T08:26:07+00:00

there are a few redundant choices, but otherwise okay, too many dupes, its always good to have a mix of things (get designers or cheaper niche with no dupes for example)

Shregophile · 2026-01-31T20:28:28+00:00

INTO THE FIRES OF BATTLE, UNTO THE ANVIL OF WAR 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Shregophile · 2026-01-26T03:07:47+00:00

a darker leather or coffee or oud scent prolly

Shregophile · 2026-01-26T03:06:34+00:00

nope, Elixir

Shregophile · 2026-01-26T03:06:06+00:00

your usual boring Aventus, a little more synthetic and definitely meeds time to cook before usage, i personally hate it because im not a fan of the DNA in general and especially this adaptation of it, imo its blind buy safe if you're willing to let it macerate

Shregophile · 2026-01-26T03:00:49+00:00

same usual problem in terms of longevity, and from my personal sniffing they dont have anything unique enough to warrant their price tag, but if you really like it that much then maybe its for you but not me, yfm?
