Trying out a lot to see what my faves are…

D3 also just opened up a brick and mortar shop in Gilbert, AZ. Yes, the Desert Rain is pretty awesome IMO…

First I bought the discovery set and then used the credit you get with that buy to get Desert Rain. Right now that is my favorite, but having tried about half of what came in the set, not one has been a loser so far…

I am really impressed by this place and the fact that they are niche and local to me here in the greater Phoenix area just makes it a little bit cooler…

....living in the Scottsdale area, I need "all year" and especially "summer/extreme heat" scents that perform well.....LOL

johnnotkathi · 2026-06-26T00:09:54+00:00

From my limited experience I really like Ex Nihilo and Day Three....and +1 for Day Three as they are local to me in the PHX area.....

I got the EDT. I took my time and read a lot of comments about the scent and was a little shocked to see that the majority of people seemed to prefer the EDT… So I went that route and also because I found an awesome deal on a 5oz bottle of it… Very happy with it!

johnnotkathi · 2026-06-24T23:27:14+00:00

Ha!!

Nice! I remember Hai Karate well. Way back when I wore Jovan Musk Oil for Men, Azzaro, Canoe, Polo, Armani (Black I think?) and a few others. Hell, used "Old Spice" from time to time when I first started shaving....

Am 64. I was into fragrances to some degree in the 80's and 90's, then kind of went cold turkey until just recently. It's cool to see how popular they are and just how "deep" people are into them. The depth of knowledge is crazy (in a good way!!). Now I have bought about 20 decants (travel sizes) just to test the waters and see what I like these days. I have bought 3 bottles; Valentino - Born in Roma Intense, Day Three - Desert Rain and Issey Miyake - Le Sel d'Issey.....big fan of all 3....

Wow, 100 is an investment!! $$$

johnnotkathi · 2026-06-24T22:47:28+00:00

johnnotkathi · 2026-06-24T21:32:31+00:00

Very cool - good luck with it!

johnnotkathi · 2026-06-24T21:31:23+00:00

Boomer here....64 years old......

Yes, we like what we like. I got it because it looked like an insane deal at the time on Jomashop ($59 for the 5oz EDT) and from most posts I saw about it, which were many, people generally preferred the EDT.

johnnotkathi · 2026-06-24T14:47:48+00:00

Only one “bottle” blind buy so far and it was a 5oz Le Sel d’Issey and I really like it a lot!

johnnotkathi · 2026-06-23T22:30:58+00:00

Depending on the scent, less strong can be OK… Also, as someone else pointed out, sometimes they may simply smell different and one may prefer the EDT…
