Your Latest Fragrance Purchase

[HMan]

I’ve been holding off on the Beau de Jour because I have a nice dup from Oakcha - I love the scent - but from what I’ve read - the OG is really Davidoff Zino (and you can get it for under $25)


I agree - I want to get a vintage because that is the true scent that I would remember

Beau de Jour has a benzoin / amber dry down which is nice, but for me there are others in my collection that tick that box, and it feels a bit redundant. The other thing, again very personal taste only, is it feels a little artificial for the price point.

Love Aramis. My father wore it. I wore it forever as an aftershave in the plastic travel bottle. I just scored a vintage bottle with real oakmoss, and...if you believe the fragrance fora, civet. I swear I can smell civet. It's some sweet stank.

This can help me "stretch" my vintage bottle of M7.

I had to buy it because I was looking at reviews on YouTube and the thumbnail was Indiana Jones!

While no longer part of my fragrance collection, I always thought that Clubman Special Reserve would have suited Indiana Jones.

@NurseDave Did you have Eloge du Traitre in your ELdO sample set by any chance?

No sir, did not.

 

[HMan]

No sir, did not.

Thanks Dave. I guess I'll just have to risk it at some point.
Did any of them take your fancy in the end?

 

[NurseDave]

Yes, I recall they have their higher end line and I liked all of those. Of course.

I would also probably get Fat Electrician

I dig YSL Y EdP; I have Spicebomb Infrared on my radar - can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

I tried YSL Y Le Parfum at Sephora and both my wife and I loved it. Unfortunately since it's so new and not at discounters I couldn't justify the purchase but can't wait to throw it on at home now that I have a proper sample.

Tried SB Infrared on my arm last time I was in Macy's and wrote down "Sweet and spicy, seems like a great holiday scent, get sample" so I think it'll be great to pair with my Stirling Christmas Eve soap and balm! Always curious to see if my impressions from a tester bottle at the store carry forward to an actual "real life" try on at home.
