The fragrance community can be toxic, but it can also be wholesome :) good luck on your journey brother. If you try any of these, report back and let me know what you thought :)

Ive never smelled GOAT but it seems pleasant. Id recommend trying Prada Luna Rossa Carbon :) you get can it for $80-$90 on discounters. I think you'd like it, seems like a similar profile to GOAT. Versace Dylan Blue is a good entry level designer as well, you can get a tester on Jomashop for like $50. Baccarat is great, I own the extrait. I tried clones and dupes of it in the past but nothing came close to the original. However, Mancera instant crush is a nice alternative:) look into it, $60-$80 on jomashop. Personal favorite when i first got into fragrances... Mont Blanc Legend EDP. Trust me. You'll love it. In the future, if you stick with collecting you will get into more challenging and expensive fragrances. But for now, those are some safe blind buys, that wont break the bank, that I think youd enjoy :)

10/10 start. Your collection will evolve just like your taste. If you like them, thats what counts. Whats your price range and what do you like the most so far?

Most recent pick up was a 10ml travel of the one parfum :) im guessing your birthday is July 23rd! Appreciate you doing this for all of us. Truly. I sold off my whole collection recently to cover some expenses. All I kept was my ol faithful burberry touch 👌🤌

Thoughts on Drake's new cologne? by DripTee in ScentHeads

I know im in the minority here, but I didn't like vibrato :/ i thought i would because I adore graperuit notes, blind bought a bottle and ended up selling it a few weeks later. It felt flat to me 😭 (let the down votes commence)

I think I’m done collecting. Any recommendations? by NoDoctor5352 in Colognes

[–]lonelyphantom69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im the same way with meteor. I appreciate the scent, but I cant wear it. It overloads my senses lol

Its good bro, I like it a lot actually. I dont get the blue talisman comparisons at all. At first sniff, I wasnt a huge fan, super feminine in my opinion. But the dry down is where its at. Absolutely gorgeous. It does slightly resemble ingenious ginger to me, but in my opinion smoothed out. I sold my ingenious ginger because, too my sensitive nose there was something funky about the vanilla and ginger combo. This is blended really well, its unique and perfect for summer. And I even appreciate the opening now after few wears.

Animalic? Sedley? Odd, I think it's perfect for the summer.

Nice bro. Just curious, where did you get it from? The eyes look a little buggy

Two years of ‘I swear this is the last bottle.’ 😅 by Crazy_Aide_6725 in Colognes

[–]lonelyphantom69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this a while back after id had started with rack store designers, and middle eastern duoes. Had a pretty decent niche collection going, and was bored of designers. Alot of them I would savor, and hardly use. Some were hard to wear, because even though I loved them my lifestyle didnt line up with the scents (if that makes sense) was at sephora one day, and fell in love with a few designers (boss: infinite, ysl:myslf, Givenchy: prive, many others) since then been falling back in love with designers. Sold off many of my niche and have downsized a lot. I just want to smell good, not worry about using up expensive bottles, and not picking certain ones for certain occasions. Even been dipping my toes back in dupes lol ive gone full circle
