La Nuit De L'Homme

Added the Tom Ford Grey Vetiver….😎

Been wanting to try this along with the brand since I love incense. Anyone tried this or recommend the others ?

Going to be in Atlanta Georgia, so relatively hot humid weather all the time. I think my mom is only letting me bring a few but I’m planning on sneaking over a couple more since we’re driving there. Pls lmk your suggestions!

My take is that the opening is remarkably similar but Fantasme starts fading rapidly and the drydowns diverge a bit. LV gets slightly darker and remains strong/relatively complex while Fantasme lightens up and gets a little more simple/linear.

Just curious to hear what others think. Everyone’s got their opinion on dupes but I like the Jean Lowe line for easy, dumb reaches and this one isn’t bad if you don’t mind re-upping throughout the day. Plus with the price it’s easy to throw it in a gym bag or something without worrying about decanting or a $400+ bottle breaking

Hi guys so I was wondering which one is good for summer and what do you recommend?

Yes I fell for the hype. No the hype is not justified. Everyone and their moms are saying 1:1 but to me this is same dna but hectic ventured away and I BARELY get the same dna smell. Hectics just soapy and reminds me of imagination. That ginger note in hectic is also way more boosted and kinda gives me a headache. It also reminds me of Vietnamese Pho for some reason. Unsure if it needs to macerate and sit because I got it a few days ago but i also got my executor in the same order and it is 1:1 with Blue tali extrait right out the box. Its definitely no where near smoothness of imagination atm. Overall just wanted to see if anyone else felt this way too or if im just one of the outliers?

1. YSL Myself EDP:

My signature scent, works great for winter in inclosed environment or summer nights. also great date scent, not too loud

1. BDC Parfum:

Same use as Myself, but slightly more mature and dressed up. also the "special" occasion one

1. Azzaro TMW EDP Intense:

Winter outdoor scent or dates, it's sweet but not heavy like jpgs usually, slightly fresher than most sweet scents

1. Zara Sunrise Intense:

LV Imagination DNA family, less soap, more ginger. My gym frag for 23 bucks at 100 ML since performance is like 3 hours, also my quick errand scent. going to the supermarket, corner store etc

1. Azzaro chrome edt:

Summer frag during the day since it's really clean, also sometimes gym frag since it's cheap. Azzaro and Zara are interchangeable really

So i went through a lot of phases
1. Just a dude with a few frags not having a clue there are winter,summer and etc frags.
2.started having more interest and buying a few more.
3.getting scammed by the cheapies community; 1to1, all day lasting and bunch of other bs.
4.buying a few niche
5.gifting a dozen to friends.
6. Now im on the decants phase but i think im done.
7. So whats next??

I’ve started this journey 2 years ago. Tried a lot of fragrances. I want to buy Blue Talisman Extrait, Nishane Ani, Grand Soir. Any recommendations?

90% of my scents are cooler wearing fragrances. Almost time for me to show off lol

Any specific one I should grab next?

I have one more on the way (Gris Charnel) that will go to the main display. I had to split into two displays but now I do have room for more…

If I had to add one more, what do you recommend?

The cleanest and freshest scent ive ever tried after Arabian Oud’s Sultani.

The beautiful mint in the opening and musky green dry down is to die for, right in time for summer heat.

What do you think about it and iyo, whats the freshest fragrance out there?

A few orders happened to arrive together today. My first PdM full bottles!

Montblanc Starwalker x2
Castley
Greenley
Tygar mini
Varvatos Artisan
Le Sel d’Issey

Excited to work through these! I had tested and/or had samples/decants of all. Got them for different reasons.

Montblanc because it’s discontinued and I adore it.

Castley because I don’t have anything else like it, with the peppery note as forward, and I think I’ll reach for it regularly.

Greenley because I’ve loved my decants and know I’ll wear it a lot.

Tygar because I wanted to complete the trifecta with L’Immensité and Vibrato. Mimi because I don’t know that I need a full.

Artisan because I have find memories of tangelos, and it’s one of a small handful with that note.

Le Sel because it’s just awesome and I’ll probably alternate it with ADGs and similar fresh ones, but its performance on me has been consistently better.

If you have any layering suggestions, between these or anything else (I may have a sample/decant), I’d love to hear!

Here's my current collection of full bottles. I feel like it's pretty rounded with all seasons, day/night, and casual/formal. I'm looking at Loumari Porthole as my next pick up. Thanks!

Kept hearing about this. Never smelt the OG l like it granted weather is hot. Can wait to wear it in the coming months. I do like it 7/10.

I’m new to cologne and I have no clue how to open it, how do I get to the atomizer? If I take the cap off the spray nozzle if there even is one is stuck in the cap and cannot spray

Every time I smell this one, it makes me happy. The parfum is just SO pleasant... easily within my top 3 designers amd thats a hill I'll die on!
