@Lon Chaneyfield I'll wait on your reviews.

Right now, it feels like it's not going anywhere. This is my favorite from the line (largely because it's the only one I own). Great choice.

It’s all about neuroplasticity and the networks of association our brains build through repetition. The brain functions like a high-speed "filing cabinet," categorizing new information based on previous emotions and memories to form rapid preferences. You think the perfume is cheap because the brain naturally responds to learned preferences. Here is how that process dictates our reactions: - Associative Learning: Our preferences aren't random; the brain connects specific styles or presentations with past rewards, triggering dopamine spikes in anticipation of pleasure. - The Halo Effect: A sleek presentation can "blind" us to a product's flaws because the brain uses the positive initial impression to color every other attribute. - Affective Priming: Visual cues, like color or lighting, act as "primes" that automatically trigger approach or avoidance behaviors before we even consciously think about the product. - Pattern Recognition: By recognizing familiar styles, the brain minimizes the energy required for decision-making, effectively creating a "brand loyalty mindset" that operates below the level of judgment.

I purchased a membership last week, but cannot access the replay.

@Henry Clay I have Bois Imperial, Akigala Mandarino, and Ganymede EDP. All three have fairly similar scent profiles, with Mandarion being sweeter with juicy citrus notes. Bois and Ganymede are both by Quinten Bisch, which I believe helps to explain the similarities.
