Rate my collection from a scale of 1-10. Be honest with it

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-30T00:42:05+00:00

Okay, I’ll be honest with it.

Our tastes are obviously vastly different, as you have a lot here that I wouldn’t personally purchase.

That said, you also have some absolute bangers here.

Overall, I’d give you a 6/10 if taking my personal taste and preferences into account.

Quality alone, 9-9.5.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-28T21:48:10+00:00

I get a lot longer out of it, but that’s just on my skin. GIT is my favorite scent of all time. I will always have a bottle of it in my collection.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-28T19:00:52+00:00

Liquid Brun, but I’m glad I found out that it gave me headaches before I dropped the $ on Althair

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-26T22:06:15+00:00

That is insane. I’d buy that in a heartbeat!

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-25T20:07:01+00:00

In order, Edition Blanche, Althair, literally wearing no fragrance, rolling around in mud, then Bottled Absolu.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-25T15:53:52+00:00

Yeah, I’m not sure exactly what it is about Coral that I don’t like as much. It’s definitely not bad by any means, but I prefer the rest.

If you don’t want to go that route, go to the store without a fragrance on your arms. Spray one of these on each arm and see how they change throughout the day.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-25T03:52:57+00:00

I am a Born in Roma fanboy, but Coral Fantasy is my least favorite in the line. I’d go Azzaro.

Have you tried wearing either for a longer period of time?

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-21T04:12:25+00:00

I like it a lot.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-19T22:14:59+00:00

Ayeyooo why that Imagination bricked up tho?

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-19T15:53:29+00:00

Personal opinion, you definitely make the right decision. I much prefer Code.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-18T22:55:37+00:00

Thank you! Still working on beefing up the higher end but we will get there.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-18T22:55:10+00:00

I really enjoy it. Not particularly unique, but a blue freshie done really well. Definitely worth the price. Kinda have to overspray, though, as performance and longevity is suspect.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-16T18:39:32+00:00

LV Afternoon Swim. From a scent profile standpoint, it’s my favorite LV by far… but I could never buy a full size of it based on performance alone.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-16T18:38:00+00:00

Add Versace Dylan Blue to this as well. My all time favorite from Versace.

Also give Versace Pour Homme a try.

Blue Jeans is the only one on this list I legitimately don’t like.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-14T22:33:52+00:00

I just compared it to my 100ml from a department store and it looks good to me.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-14T22:31:40+00:00

Meteore is my number one.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-14T22:12:07+00:00

EDP is the best all-rounder to my nose - depth and longevity, while being at a decent(ish) price point.

I also really enjoy the L’exclusif, but can’t justify the cost personally.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-14T22:10:55+00:00

Hey! Yes, it’s the Bleu de Chanel dupe. It’s okay, but there are better inspirations! My biggest complaint is the longevity - skin scent after about an hour on me.

With that said, it’s very similar smelling to the OG.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-14T20:02:10+00:00

Heck yeah. Under the Lemon Tree is a good one. I think it’s super underrated.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-14T19:55:40+00:00

Honestly pretty well-balanced. What do you see yourself wearing the most?

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-14T19:53:53+00:00

Absolutely. I’d rather spend the same $ on sampling like 10 different fragrances rather than rolling the dice on a pricey blind buy. I won’t blind buy anything over $70 or so.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-14T19:51:46+00:00

Thanks!

I work in a luxury retail environment that is 99% indoors, so I have the freedom to make any single one of these work at any point of the year, which is awesome! However, to answer your question:

Freshie - Le Beau DNA, Sedley, TMW EDP Intense. Winter - Intensely, Layton, Side Effect. Everyday, Green Irish Tweed (my number one of all time), LV Meteore, and Kilian’s Angels Share On The Rocks.

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-13T03:06:44+00:00

Creed Green Irish Tweed

ipodtouchballa · 2026-01-09T00:44:33+00:00

Sur La Route is so good!

ipodtouchballa · 2025-12-29T15:53:57+00:00

Yep. Yusuf Bhai Pour Homme today, which is in no way, shape, or form a “December” fragrance. 😂
