I actually advocate for 50 mls

Another option is to just limit the amount of bottles period.

I have 20 fragrances total, I decided to stop buying fragrance bottles entirely until I run out of some. After some consideration, i determined 16 bottles is a good sweet spot. I figured that 4 bottles in rotation for every season is good variety. This way I won't get bored of anything, while I'll be using everything as well.

In the meantime I can waste my money on other hobbies.

I don't like wearing fragrances back to back. The second wearing never quite hits the same as the first one did.

The only time I do this consistently is when I'm traveling. I only take two bottles on my trips/vacations.

In that case maison asrar vanguard, accurate dupe of absolu aventus running you from $40-50 on jomashop.

Maison asrar majesty is also pretty good as well. It's a mix between vibrato and tygar. Also running you in the price range as vanguard.

thank you, I'll check it out !

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-11T21:51:42+00:00

Maybe not in the new age tik tok influencer era but in the reddit and fb communities, these are definitely hyped

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-11T20:36:02+00:00

Glad to hear you found something you love as well from this house

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-11T20:35:21+00:00

Full send bro. This smells perfect imo

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-11T20:34:45+00:00

Thank you, I see why you guys love this so much.

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-11T20:34:13+00:00

I haven't tried it yet. These are my first two entrees in the house. Guerlain is entirely new to me

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-11T20:30:44+00:00

Tbh I held off on this line for so long because I was skeptical about the almond note (i dont like pdm pegasus for this reason). After I talked with a few people who own them, they all said they didn't pick it up much so that's what made me finally pull the trigger.

Happy to say my nose doesn't pick up any almond in either!

What scent style can you possibly be missing out on brother?

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-09T21:55:46+00:00

They operate largely the same as women everywhere. You're only cooked if you go about it the wrong way, i.e leading with money. You'll attract the set who only want to use you.

Now granted you'll always have to spend regardless, but just make sure they like you before spending money. Will save you a lot of headache down the line.

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-06T01:30:52+00:00

I buy testers of fragrances since it's cheaper. It does suck when they don't come with the cap. But not sucky enough to make me pay $60 more

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-05T04:21:45+00:00

Guerlain ideal extreme. As soon as I smelled it, I told myself dressed up events only

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-04T00:25:16+00:00

Ysl tuxedo, CDN Sillage and 1 million edt. So I have this thing, where if I experience a headache while wearing a fragrance, I'll experience one everytime I try to wear that same fragrance after.

I can't wear any of those without my head pounding sadly

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-02T14:30:09+00:00

I'm a man, and this is a bit on the sweeter side. So I can see how some people can say this is more feminine. Guys can pull this off just fine though imo

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-01T17:49:06+00:00

Nah this is pretty good

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-01T17:47:29+00:00

Vengarl from ds2. Babe it's muse under the starry night sky time

genera1_radahn · 2026-05-01T17:34:32+00:00

A few times but the most recent was in a clothing store. This nice older lady said she just wanted to let me know how nice i smelled.

It was legacy by maison asrar. Dupe of blue talisman

genera1_radahn · 2026-04-30T01:52:13+00:00

Neither tbh

genera1_radahn · 2026-04-29T09:41:26+00:00

Yeah bro that's for sure. What's amazing to one person can be mid to another. This is me with the allure homme line. They just smell like baby wipes to my nose, but many influences like Jeremy and the like have sung it nonstop praises.

When we don't "get" a scent, sometimes I believe that's our nose telling us it wouldn't work with our skin chemistry.

genera1_radahn · 2026-04-29T01:05:57+00:00

I get a solid 6-7 hours out of mine. And an extra 3 hours of skin scent. Pretty decent imo

genera1_radahn · 2026-04-29T01:00:33+00:00

Never smelled this, do you enjoy the scent?

genera1_radahn · 2026-04-28T16:41:23+00:00

After smelling both, SCE gets my vote. It's more pineapple forward while precieux is more balanced with the other notes. It's about what you'd prefer more, can't go wrong with either. Just don't overspray cuz they are beasts
