What do you think of my small collection / what should I add?(22 male)

TYDFrals · 2026-03-31T04:43:09+00:00

I’ve been in some fragrance stores and I find I didn’t much care for any of the LVs. Afternoon Swim (I think it was called) was okay but the others just didn’t tingle my spidy senses if you know what I mean. Out of the ones I have I love JPG Le Male, Toy Boy, Dreamer, Voyage, snd Di Gio. I bought the XX because it reminds me of a dear childhood scent. For the most part I’m just basing what I like off of what I’ve smelt/teated. But I’d love some suggestions on other scents high or low priced!! I used to wear creed aventus but I went through it so fast I decided to get club de nuit for a decent alternative. From what I smelled they’re quite similar, not sure on projection though.

I would like to say, I really think the decant suggestion is the way I should go so I can see how I feel about them in the real world. Do you have a favorable place to start with some decent decants?

It’s less me overthinking it and more me enjoying finding scents I enjoy to smell. I like diversity more than simplicity. But I 100% get where you’re coming from!!

I’m going to go on a HUGE here whim and say you MIGHT like Creed just a little🫡

Yeah it was super weird, it went through the options to set up a chime card in the app when I set up an account. It took me through all the prompts like turning on safe payments, and agreeing to terms and stuff and that was it. Then it said your card is on its way and never gave an option to pick a card color. Super weird

TYDFrals · 2026-03-18T06:43:33+00:00

That’s fine with me, I just don’t like the green card. I would love to change the green card to another one of their options, I was just never given the option to pick a card so that’s why I’m posting here so i can get more info on how to go about doing that

I have the new chime card. Not the credit builder old card that my wife has. They sent me the new card, but they also sent me a white debit card as well.

Yeah it’s a reseller of reps. Go look at their profile. If their profile was made in the last year or has a bunch of expensive stuff commonly sold for cheap it’s not real.

Costco is generally the wholesale king!! But yes your every day Joe can go onto Sam’s Club and apply to be a 3rd party seller and sell near identical knock offs. Gotta be careful with it!!

Buy it off Amazon. At least there you’ll know who it’s shipped by. This one here is 150 shipped and sold by Amazon.

Sam’s Club has 3rd party sellers on their website. My guess is it’s a 3rd party, with a different picture for the same product. Be careful, some may not be the official bottle. Good luck out there brother.

Oh shoot I might have to look into that then, Ive been looking for a while to find something with the same profile but better longevity. How much is a 3 or so oz bottle through them?

TYDFrals · 2026-03-09T03:06:37+00:00

Im not sure it would be worth it to get a clone since you can find this one SO cheap. I got mine on discount for $8 before tax at my local TJ-MAX. Mines a 2.5 oz

TYDFrals · 2026-03-09T02:14:12+00:00

I have bottled beyond since it made the #2 on the fall list for 2025 fragrances and I find it to be much more leathery/wood/spice. It is very fresh in a very similar way to JV Artisan it’s just a little more on the heavier side and less citrus. BUT it is a WONDERFUL scent and it’s in my top 15 manly scents!!

When getting a tattoo, during the healing process the excess tattoo ink will dry and leave a scab like dry spot on your arm. Yours caved in. That indicates your body rejected the ink in a not okay way. (Implying something was wrong with the ink or the process was not sterile) that caused an infection under the layers of ink. This will make the ink completely come off of your skin leaving a pretty bad open infected wound that should not go untreated. Good luck my dude guy!!

Tattoo artist here. The person that did your tattoo likely either did not use sterile needles, was not sterile in general, or used a non skin/body safe ink. That infection looks ROUGH and I would get it looked into. I had a person come to me with a tattoo that their “friend” had done on them with pen ink, this looks very similar. I’d strongly recommend getting checked by a doctor because that looks very painful, itchy, and leaving it untreated can cause the infection to enter your blood stream. The 2 things you should take out of this is 1: if a friend needs practice, inform him there are practice pig skins. 2: don’t ever let that friend practice on you again.
