As I highlighted in my last post, I recently got 3 new Lattafa’s and they’re absolutely incredible. However, unless I’m missing something obvious, I now have a well rounded array of fragrances and I don’t know what to get next. I try to get colognes under $80, but if there’s anything you’d believe would fit great with my collection, please recommend it. Pretty straightforward post here, and feel free to give me ideas in the comments.

I had heard about Lattafa through YouTube and had really been mentally hyping them up, but once I finally got my hands on them, they blew me away. Asad has a beautiful pepper and mildly woody scent that’s masculine but not overpowering. Perfect for winter. Asad Zanzibar has an incredible iris note that makes you feel like you’re standing off the coast of Africa, feeling the wind rush off your skin into the ocean beyond. It’s going to be insane in the summer. And finally, Khamrah Dukhan. Fresh oranges. Amber. Rich spices. An absolutely gorgeous fragrance. I cannot recommend these enough, and all the hype you hear about Lattafa is 100% deserved.

AFTERNOONNN MY FELLOW BROTHERS Today was just like any other day, and to take my mind off of some weird stuff that’s cycled through this week, i decided to go visit one of the fragrance outlets at my local mall. I pretty much knew all of the scents, i just liked to smell them and talk fragrances with someone behind the counter (it’s hard to find people who are this into it as a hobby haha). the girl at the desk today, she was cute i can’t lie. kinda flirty and bubbly, and i found that attractive. i didn’t really have a crush or anything, but she was cute. dead honest she was haha. now for the record i’m notorious for leading people on. i’m a friendly, outgoing and sarcastic in a playful way kind of guy, who flirts with EVERYONE. buuuut people might mistake it for something else. anddd that’s gotten me into a lot of situations before haha 😅 anyways, i think the customers took it like that, because when i asked for her name (i usually do that with people in general especially at stores i visit religiously), and i was about to leave… one of the customers looked at me and said. “bro, ain’t you gonna ask for her number?” and yk? i wasn’t thinking straight. but i think if i did self reflection, i was feeling a little attraction. and i WOULD have asked. but in that exact moment, i was COMPLETELY taken off guard. and i froze. now usually i can think quick and say something witty or charming. but i had nothing. actually i still have nothing. i’m still trying to figure out what i could have said 😀 and like a jackass i just laughed nervously and very intelligently, i said “hehshahehehahehrbzjajehrahhahshehshaah.” poor girl was blushing so hard, i think i was too. i ended up thanking her and leaving. and then cried in my car (just kidding HAHAHA) but DAYUM i fumbled the bag hard. it was worth an azzaro though!

I've had this thing for like four months. I found it on Jomashop for 40 bucks, and I couldn't say no. It had a cool bottle, and seemed to have enough good reviews, thought it was worth a shot. Holy hell was I wrong. I used it for a month. I was coping, trying to say good things about it. I wanted to be optimistic, believing I didn't just waste forty five dollars on a scent that I hate! You might say, well younger people don't like classic or retro fragrances at much. And I would correct you there, good sir. I'm a huge fan of classic fragrances. Dior Fahrenheit, Terre D'Hermes are both great scents that I enjoy on special occasions. I don't mind classy. But this isn't classy, this is straight up nose murder. People say Versace fragrances are either hit or miss. This scent breaks it. This is not a miss. This is a disaster. An explosive, evil mess of Andrew Tate cigars and roachy wood hidden in a corner at the back of your yard for who-knows-how-long. In simple words, I hate this scent. Not just a dislike. I hate it. An initial spray genocides your nose with a synthetic blast of weird, acid-tripping flowers stolen from the back of a dispensary, with an unneeded whiff of tobacco and old wood. It's strong and makes me want to cough my throat out. It has a flavor like bitter leaves. If bitter was a scent, this would be it. The drydown is okay. Mediocre at best. The woody scent isn't awful, and is a great break from the horrible bitter scents from the initial spray, but by then it's basically a skin scent. The sillage is horrible. It lasts me like probably a few hours max, which is a good thing. If you want a good toilet freshener for your grandma's house, or maybe you wanna make someone's funeral more depressing, then there are two great uses for it. But this fragrance is just horrible. Not even my grandma likes it. And I wasted FORTY BUCKS ON THIS SHIT. WTF MAN. If you want to blind buy it, DO NOT. EVER. I REPEAT NEVER DO IT.

AT LEAST 50 PARTICIPANTS WILL BE NEEDED TO LAUNCH THIS. YOU CAN DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO BY VOTING IN THE POLL BELOW. If we hit at least fifty on the yes vote, than we can begin! The rules are simple. There will be four bracket style rounds. 32 will enter, only one leaves as a champion. For round one I will be making four posts, each with eight options. The option that wins in the poll will move onto round two. Pick your champion and choose! Those who do not make it will not pass to round 2! You may pick ONE scent. Your favorite scent. The one you would die for. The one you would drink if it was made edible and tasty. So what do you choose? What will your champion be? The winner of the entire poll will be awarded: “THE KING OF ALL FRAGRANCES, AND THE WORLD CHAMPION 👑” Don’t take this too seriously btw, this is just for silly funsies :) So tell me my fellow brothers. Do you want in? I need over 32 participants to make this work! Let’s shoot for fifty!
