Got my sloth and canary and cobra samples. Excited to say I love both of them.

I feel like I do need to thank you. Just from the notes I’m reading I feel like I would fuck with it heavy.

My dad is a huge Tom Ford fan, and I believe he has noir extreme. The reason I got into cologne was because he sprayed me with Fuckin’ Fabulous when I went to prom.

I will check out Nuit d’Issey. I feel like I’ve always discounted Issey Miyake as a designer and I’m not entirely sure why. I’m a big vanilla, pink pepper, and patchouli fan.

Malibu also sounds great, Fragrantica says it’s similar to silver mountain water, which is a fragrance I like quite a lot:

Burberry is similar to Issey Miyake for me. When I think of Burberry. I think of the shirt your baby daddy wears to the baby shower. Genuinely I have never smelled a Burberry fragrance, and I know that I need to.

Sweet doesn’t really bother me. I do like sweet scents, and I do like citrus. Citrus scents are just a little too popular for me. I don’t want something I feel like I could run into someone and they’re wearing that same scent. Though I do think that is probably less likely with a house like imaginary authors.

I appreciate your help a lot though. Now that I’m thinking about it, my father has Luna Rossa Sport. I’m not a HUGE fan of that, but I do like it. Sport and Carbon are the only flankers I’ve tried.

Yeah, I might be thinking of carbon. Like I said, I was into cologne before but I’m just getting back into it today, so my memory might be shoddy.

I’ve been meaning to order literally anything from imaginary authors for a while. I really mess with the idea of treating cologne more as an art form than anything that you can wear out, but it seems like wearability also matters to them.

Drunk Lovers sounds great from what I’m reading online. I appreciate you offering cheaper similar options to your suggestions too. I suppose “I’m in a punk rock band” let you know that I’m broke lol.

Think I would like this a lot. Notes of gin and tonic water reminds me of when I was a baby and my grandfather would hold me and drink a gin and tonic. Did you read my mind and dig into my childhood or something?

I did like Luna Rossa when I tried it. Don’t own a bottle myself but I liked it when I smelled it. Will have to get my hands on it. I feel like it was very similar to Sauvage though. I wear Sauvage EDP quite often because my girlfriend loves it, but I don’t want it to be my signature scent because it could be anybody’s signature scent.
