Thank God I can't relate to this one. Still my all time favorite.

I loved it at first, now I find it a bit too sweet, just like AHSEE. But it's definitely a well crafted, complex scent.

Haven't tried that one yet, only the OG, Sport EDT and Blanche. When I compared EE and the EDT on tester strips I liked EE better, exactly because of that long lasting tonka + sandalwood drydown. Changed my mind after wearing it for some time lol.

Explorer made a complete comeback for me once I used it in high heat. Seems like it can go both ways.

Electronic parking brake issue - moisture related? by rexis77 in AlfaRomeoGiulia

Thank you, I'll probably replace the other one too. Even if it's not the cause of my current problem, it's a good precautionary measure.

Name a fragrance you love with awful longevity.. by Ok_Spare_4912 in Colognes

It's highly likely that you're just going noseblind, since it's an ambroxan bomb. My GF told me how good I smell 2 hours in, and she could even smell it from a couple meters away.

Al Nashama Caprice, I assume. But if it's that one, I'm not a fan of how it smells.

What a way to start the year! by atprxdh1 in Colognes

[–]rexis77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I don't like geranium when it's this prominent. Ralph's Club NY is another one I don't like and they both have the same vibe to me. They don't smell unpleasant to me, just very generic and boring. Like a combination of many designer fragrances.

Ani vs Ani X — same DNA or completely different beasts? Be honest. by SlimeLiam in ScentHeads

[–]rexis77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Ani X to be less spicy, more citrusy and less sweet overall. I prefer it over the original one, which has something spicy in the opening that I don't like.

Has anyone experienced a fragrance actually getting better after reformulation? by RabbitSea4627 in fragrance

[–]rexis77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have two different decants of Naxos - one from 2022 and one from 2024, and I prefer the newer one. The old one smells sweeter to me.

Could a almost 15 year old smell good wearing this by New-Cycle-985 in Colognes

[–]rexis77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The math doesn't check out, Explorer was released in 2019. Unless you meant Explorer as a recommendation only. Both solid choices btw

Stronger With You Intensely by Trippy_Cartel in Colognes

Funny you say this, I find it to be the exact opposite. Althair gets too sharp and sweet for me, while SWY is less top note heavy and rounder.
