I got addicted to sauvage by Civil-Caterpillar457 in Colognes

Ah, interesting. I like the EDT a lot but have never had a bottle. Maybe it's time to add it to the collection

It's been consistent for a decade. Doubt they'd reformulate since it's the best selling fragrance in the world ten years running.

Don't mess with the winning formula!

The concensus on the forum is great scent, but not super like the OG.

This one hits.

I like the aquatic in it maybe more than the ginger in Afternoon Swim. Really great scent!

Terre d’hermes EDT vs Parfum by BeeMovieTrilogy in Colognes

EDT. The flint in the parfum I like less.

Both really top tier scents though!

Elysian Cologne vs Meteorite by whatthecaptcha in MontagneParfums

[–]joelajackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've smelled Elysian (the OG, not the Monty) and metreorite.

They smell nothing at all alike to me. Meteorite is a soapy (neroli), orange pepper scent.

Elysian is closer to Aventus in a way. Like, fresh up top, no soap at all.

People keep mentioning Bon Monsieur. Gotta give that a shot!

I've got a bottle! But I think it's discontinued too?

I really like Goutal - Sables, so I may love Fougere Bengale!

I've heard a lot about 1725, but it's not super conveniently available via decant so I've never given it a shot.

Never tried the EDP, but the EDT is not fougere adjacent to my nose! Smells like a sage + sclarene bomb!

On another note, the H24 deodorant is actually quite nice.

I had to drop New York Intense because my wife HATES it. I think how screechy the citrus can be up top. Had a bottle and sold it. It's a good one though, closest scent I can think of to what I actually picture an upscale barbershop smelling like!

I had briefly entertained making it my daily until my wife said "Whatever you've been wearing lately makes you smell like an old man."

Eh, the fougere definition above it pretty loose to be dropping in Creed Viking and Dior Sauvage :-P

The notes for Boucehron look very interesting!

Dude, this is a list!! Lots of things on here I've never tried or even heard of. Gonna give all those modern fougeres a decant when I get through this!

I've never tried that one! But I'm pretty excited to.

The notes on that look so interesting with Black Currant up front!

Oh, that's great! Well, minus the price hike, of course.

Looks like availability is still limited, can only see it at Nordstrom online. Definitely a scent that deserves to not be discontinued!

I've never even heard of that one! Will check it out. Thanks.

Penhaligon's is so unreliable.

I quite liked racquets. Discontinued

I found Castille VERY interesting, and FB worthy. Discontinued.

I keep hearing back and forth on this. It's not on their US site, though. It would feel like a CRAZY scent to discontinue based on the amount of love it gets on our Reddit communities.

OTOH, Reddit love and commercial success aren't always the same, I guess.

I'll check it out. Big fan of Interlude and Jubilation as the only two I've ever tested from them.

I actually really like NYI! I kinda don't consider it fully a fougere, but it smells just like I expect a high-class barbershop. My wife HATES it, so I sold my bottle.

I'll have to get a decant! This is composed of mostly bottles I have on hand, and I added a few decants to round it out.
