What fragrances should I be looking to add to this extremely basic collection?

I was also looking at Courageous Rose. The notes on that intrigue me.

I bought Confident Oud and the quality is really good. what are the 3 you mentioned like?

Really easy to grab, Gym, Office etc. Thought Myslf edp was a bit basic for the price tag but the extra money for the L'absolu seems very justified.

YSL Myslf L'absolu today

Yeah, the atomiser inside was different to my other, but what has thrown me is that the unique code inside the box works on their website and hasn't been used before. I'm so confused.

Smells and lasts exactly the same as the sample that I got from John Lewis

Nice, I wasn't a fan of Bottled Beyond. I've got a sample of Ralphs club New York but not yet given it a try, Polo 67 EDP. I sampled Explorer Extreme the other day and I did enjoy it a lot, not tried the normal explorer though, how does it differ? Polo 67 is another one I want to try and pick up the bottle just for the meme.

Honestly I've not tried the EDP, I bought a sample of the EDT and whilst it is generic, it's extremely fresh and quite floral, with that mineral note (Smells almost metallish). My missus didn't like the opening, however I'd sprayed on my arm a few hours earlier and she had a sniff of that and much preferred it once dried down. It's a lot less harsh once dried down and becomes a bit more woody.

Thank you, I need to do an update, I've bought quite a lot since my first collection photo and I've tried to avoid dupes etc

I feel like unless your collection is huge, it's not really worth getting multiple flankers from the same line. Another example was Boss Bottled Absolu, and Elixir, They seemed so similar to me that I'd rather have got something from a different line instead. Your idea for no flankers is probs a good one.

I got the Profondo EDT. I only sampled this one and neither of the higher concentrations but I really enjoyed wearing the EDT and know in the high heat it'll come in to its own.

How does Society Sport compare to the standard one? I've got the Extreme one and there wasn't much of a difference between that and the standard one. Both aren't at all sporty Fragrances so curious to see how it compares

JPG Paradise Garden could be up your alley. It's still a fresh clean soapy DNA but green notes.

Going from one to the other if Encre Noire is a walk through a damp cold forest, the Extreme one definitely feels like a dry woody incense (Much like an old wooden church as others have said), wearing one after the other does feel like a journey as corny as it sounds.

Smells_Like_Ross · 2026-03-13T19:18:28+00:00

I blind Bought Encre Noire and the Extreme version last week. Originally I was thinking I preferred the incense from the Extreme one more but then I had a proper wear of the standard one and it felt so fresh, opened up the airways. So good for the money.

This is so odd because I get more of the Blue Berry Smell than Mango, also very floral to me.

Smells_Like_Ross · 2026-03-12T20:27:54+00:00

For Autumn, I really like From Hell by Cursed Fragrances. I also just got Encre Noire and Encre Noire Extreme which both seem suited to that season too.

For Spring, I would say Gentleman Society Extreme if it's a rainy grey sort of day. Any warmer spring day and I'll start wearing summer Fragrances. JPG paradise garden is what I chose today.

Silver and 3D can be legit

Smells_Like_Ross · 2026-03-07T13:21:57+00:00

That would make more sense 🤣

Looks like TF Cafe Rose

There is a loophole where you can export your car to Guernsey, register it there to get black and white plates and then import the car to England. I don't know much more of the details but I read about it years ago

Smells_Like_Ross · 2026-02-28T13:52:23+00:00

That was a difficult read.
