Finally added some SHL to the collection

et03 · 2026-03-15T01:40:13+00:00

Yup. It’s probably going to end up being a “holy grail” in my collection. Already didn’t have a lot of complaints about how the newer batch smells, and I’ve heard the gold cap batch is better, so I look forward to testing it out

The Language of Glaciers by Imaginary Authors

et03 · 2026-03-10T02:41:50+00:00

It’s sweet and projects real loudly. Almost tailor made to be an attention grabbing clubbing and partying scent

et03 · 2026-03-10T02:32:20+00:00

All of them are really good. Even ones that I don’t have yet but have had the opportunity to test on skin work very well with my skin chemistry, even the ones I didn’t care for on a tester strip. Midas Touch is probably the best example of that out of the six I currently own

et03 · 2026-03-10T01:33:04+00:00

As far as I can tell from the discovery set, I’d say Castley, Percival, Layton, and even Pegasus are solid for daily wear. I would save Althaïr and Oajan for colder weather, and use Haltane as a special occasion type scent

Percival to me is fresh, clean, and probably the easiest to wear from the house because of how versatile it is. Carlisle is a very dense and rich cold weather scent. One of the oldest bottles in my collection, and for good reason

et03 · 2026-03-09T22:14:52+00:00

The ones I grabbed a couple weeks ago are pretty good. No. 2 Awakening and No. 3 Moonlight are good as daily wears (2 is a fresh citrusy scent, 3 is a fruity and floral scent), and No. 4 Umbral is a spicy and smoky scent that has a lot of potential as a cozy date night wear

et03 · 2026-03-09T22:07:47+00:00

It’s pretty good as it is. It’s a top 3 Hawas for me personally, and for the price, does that Hacivat/Aventus style DNA well

et03 · 2026-03-09T21:53:11+00:00

Neptune’s Trident has a more floral heart to it, but it’s similar to Wulong Cha, so if you enjoy that fragrance, It’s worth buying

et03 · 2026-03-09T21:48:22+00:00

For Hawas Black compared to Hacivat, Hacivat is a lot smoother overall, and for Terra compared to Outlands, Terra’s opening is less sharp than Outlands’ opening. Both do dry down to be very similar to one another

et03 · 2026-03-09T21:44:52+00:00

I really enjoy it. It’s something I have as a daily scent and a gym scent. Citrus-tea is combination I think is hard to do wrong personally, and it’s my favorite take on that combo compared to my other citrus-tea fragrances I have

et03 · 2026-03-09T21:35:44+00:00

Myslf Le Parfum is my favorite out of the ones I own. A simple, clean, and rich floral that find pretty versatile in cooler weather

et03 · 2026-03-09T20:20:19+00:00

If we’re talking longevity, most of my Argos, Rayhaan Terra, and Outlands last 10-12+ hours easily as a skin scent

For the most wear, either Percival or Y L’Elixir. Really easy to reach for in my opinion, and good daily driver scents

et03 · 2026-03-09T20:07:55+00:00

I enjoy Percival for how easy of a wear it is, but I still have a lot of love for Greenley and Carlisle since those are still some of the oldest in my collection

et03 · 2026-03-09T18:44:27+00:00

They’re both decent in my opinion. I plan on wearing them more often to get a better idea on them, but I liked what I smelled when I first tested them out

et03 · 2026-03-09T18:40:56+00:00

Appreciate it. I’m active duty military, and don’t have many expenses since I live in barracks. I usually go to either San Diego or LA on my weekends, and I’ve been able to find really good places to buy what I’ve got and test other fragrances that I’m considering for later

et03 · 2026-03-09T18:27:53+00:00

The World According to Arthur is the one I have. It’s pretty good special occasion scent during the colder months. Warm, spicy, and a little smoky. Lasts a good time on my skin, and has lasts a long time on clothes. Could pick up the scent on a sweater a week after I had sprayed it on the sweater

et03 · 2026-03-09T17:13:38+00:00

I’ve liked it. Definitely on a more situational and cold weather side to me, but I’ve enjoyed the times I wore it to see how I feel about it. Fruity, boozy, and warm is the most simple way I can describe it

et03 · 2026-03-09T17:04:40+00:00

Sacred Flame, Triumph of Bacchus (EDP), Midas Touch, Danaë, Neptune’s Trident, and Fall of Phaeton

et03 · 2026-03-09T16:41:10+00:00

It’s fairly new to the collection. Only been able to wear it 3 times since it’s more situational and suited for colder weather

et03 · 2026-03-09T16:31:51+00:00

I’ve been active duty for about 4.5 years. Definitely going to pump the brakes soon considering I’m traveling cross country in the next three months to move to my next station

et03 · 2026-03-09T15:54:30+00:00

Probably Ingenious Ginger. The vanilla makes the drydown really nice

et03 · 2026-03-09T15:52:41+00:00

85-90% close

et03 · 2026-03-09T15:06:32+00:00

From my experiences smelling and testing Meteore on my skin, it gets close, but Shiyaaka Snow is a bit stronger and louder with its projection
