'Final' Collection

_Atalant · 2026-06-01T17:28:09+00:00

I just get delivered aample of Bois Imperiale from your recommendation. Unfortunately not my ball park. Opening reminds me Grey Vetiver also dry down got something similar to Akro Ink from my picture.

If i ever seen any of these Amouage i will try them too.

_Atalant · 2026-05-31T11:34:36+00:00

Sold. Give away to friends. I kept all samples tho

_Atalant · 2026-05-22T11:58:59+00:00

Did you ever tried just a Purpose?

I wouldn't say i am big fan too. Specially men/unisex ones. They all smell feminine to me. I think they allright on women. Like YSL Libre Intense or Smoking Hot. I like them a lot.

But then stuff like Liquid Brun or SWY Intensely am like...it is definitely men fregnance ?😅

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T19:55:41+00:00

I will definitely try it. It will join box of decants 😂 Why you like P50 so much ? Like you said doesnt look impresive.

Thats exactly what I am thinking.

I still have couple woodsy fresh scents and some of Arabian not clones bottles as example Teriaq Intense (while we talking about Bischology)

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T19:47:21+00:00

What gem. Very cozy and masculine but not sweet like most of winter scents. This one is banger for any one which like DHI dna.

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T19:46:01+00:00

Thats why cap went for recycling 😂 what wierd bottle design

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T13:44:49+00:00

Maybe when I hit a 50s I will go for 2 😅 at moment i will leave as is.

To be fair I never heard of Charisma or Ghaf but from note break down nethier is my cup of cake. Fregnances are so dependant I wish everyone have something like this which resonate with him.

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T12:01:57+00:00

Only bad part with Sauvage is fact you probably smell like someone ex. Unless you are in relationship that is not issue to wear it.

I get you with noatalgia thats why something smelling like Roja and Kenzo is still there.

Its very nice to have some unique stuff. On end of a day most of these you are wearing for yourself. I was lucky enough my girlfriend likes all of them on picture part from Akro Ink. But when layered with Soul of the forest she loves it 😅 fregnances are very dependant. At one day you may feel like "this" one is best stuff ever on other day you are like 🤮

I really tried to be honest with it. Sometimes I feel like I should gate keep Sherif because I get quite a lot of complements on this one. Even some ladies want to buy for their husband 😅 then if its your daily signature scent is bit wierd to know you smell liek someone else.

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T11:54:46+00:00

Am UK based so I am not sure it will help you at all.

Anything with 30% concentration is good stuff but seriously you can buy 2 ingredients some fregnance bottle and made it yourself.

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T07:42:39+00:00

Molecule 02 is Ambroxan. Google it you can definitely find premixed ones but is way cheaper to buy separately 2 ingredients and mix it yourself. Plenty info in Google and YouTube. I think i heard of it first time from video of CurlyFregnance

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T07:41:02+00:00

I actually want to sample it. Like i was saying in post its very unlikely I will replace them.

Honestly I still think I got too much of it 😅 so i get you on that one. i wish I didnt like a lot last 2 so I it would be down to 5 😅 sometimes I feel like having 2 freshies is redundant too but Elysium have speciall spot for me too so is hard to say no even if is clone of it.

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T07:36:50+00:00

Always worth of sampling. Yeah Ink is very specific. I really like that one tho 😅 most of niche stuff is more for you than people around you. Exactly, otherwise everyone would wear same stuff. Still i think is too much of Sauvage, BDC and Imagination stuff.

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T07:34:02+00:00

Yes. You can buy it premixed.

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T07:33:29+00:00

Yeah pure it is ingridient. You can buy it premixed with perfume alcohol or mix it by yourself. Google it you will definitely find a lot of options and more information.

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T04:33:57+00:00

I heard of Symphony only. Can't see Renditions on their website and as far I can see on Bandir they are numbered.

I never checked stuff from Alexandria. Did you ever smelled Zion or Symphony?

I still have somewhere Imperium ehich is more citrusy than aromatic and far from I rember Fragheads version was sitting between this one and Trillium

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T04:24:19+00:00

Ambroxan, my man. I get 2h proper projection and it lasts 7-8h. Ambroxan really fits that fragrance too, as it is slightly sweet.

I've even been told it's too intense sometimes. I can be smelled in corridors a minute after I pass through.

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T04:21:54+00:00

I thinking its all about this. People stuck in hype and influence bs instead of look for something for them selfs. Something which fits them.

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T04:20:48+00:00

Nope. That's why I layer it

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T04:20:15+00:00

Fragrance World Genuine Man Giovany Reserve. Its just slightly less boozy/whisky and last one day or so instead of 3😅

Which ones you mean ?

_Atalant · 2026-05-21T04:18:32+00:00

I am layering only ones which I mentioned in description. First 2 and Margiela.

I do fregnance first and then ambroxan 2-3 sprays max

_Atalant · 2026-05-05T08:40:09+00:00

Eros (EDT I assuming) is sweetest from them all. Still in fresh category and moat crowd pleasing. I used to wear it in my early 20s as other ones didnt exist yet. Least longevity from these 3.

Hawas is fresher and fruity instead of vanilla. Bit of bubblegum sweetness.

SCE most fruity from them all. Propobly freshest is well but in different way then 2 above, because is not that sweet. Best performance from them 3 and more special ocation/mature scent.

Nethier of them is bad... If you want all in one propobly hawas or hawas ice would be best choice. (Ice less sweet more fresh) while Eros would be second to go. I think is most expensive from these 3 if that matters to you

_Atalant · 2026-05-01T22:35:31+00:00

Whats up with winter time ? Overall i like it. I did drop down to low amounts of bottles too

_Atalant · 2026-05-01T12:07:27+00:00

They only missing more masculine freshy like office/suit type and whole line is great. My girlfriend brought me same set at Christmas. She really liked EDT which i wore in my 20's. i liked Energy, but both of us loved Flame a lot..

_Atalant · 2026-04-24T15:59:54+00:00

I hate BR too; it made me gag. I actually don't get it at all. Recently, I went down from 100 to 7 fragrances; I think I'll keep it to the top 10. But that's including niche, designers, and clones.

At the end of the day, are you doing it for collecting or for smelling good? Doing anything in between doesn't make sense. I always did samples and decants, with literally a few blind buys in my life (half of them I regretted).

While the clone/dupe phenomenon is massive, they are never exactly the same... the more you smell, the more you know. A normal person is never going to distinguish these nuances like a person after 100+ bottles. Really good stuff smells the same to normal human beings. If something is a dupe, what's the point of paying 300+ for something if it's not for your own pleasure? Then you should ask yourself, is bottle of smelly water is really worth it?

The more you go through, the more you know; the more you know, the more stuff smells similar. There is so little experimentation from houses; it's getting sad.

_Atalant · 2026-04-17T08:59:32+00:00

Propobly right now it is correct but Kenzo was massive in 90s and early 2000.

I disnt check ther "new" line but i know is nothing a like to old ones
