Hey guys! I’m getting married in Hawaii in July (hot I know) and I have no clue what fragrance I should wear. I know smells and scents bring back and hold memories like nothing else so I want to make sure this is the best possible one I can wear, but I don’t want to wear my signature scent. I’m totally up for all ideas and recommendations and guidance on this. Thank you.

If anyone saw my post a while ago. When I found out Rolex made a perfume, but it was only a gift for their regulars. Looks like Jomashop came into posseion of some bottles and is now selling them for the cheap price of $10,000 😂 😂

Hey guys, Joe A. here with another one for ya’! Here’s a fragrance topic we probably don’t talk about enough, mostly because it feels a little weird, a little morbid and maybe a little too real for a hobby built around smelling good while we’re still above ground. But let’s be honest, some of us have collections that are no longer just “a few bottles on a shelf.” We’ve got full-blown fragrance libraries, emotional time capsules, scent memories, discontinued gems, blind-buy regrets and enough juice to keep a small village (okay, okay a LARGE village...) smelling dangerous for the next decade. So here’s the question: what’s the plan for your fragrance collection after you die? Do your loved ones know what any of it is worth? Would they know the difference between a $25 cheapie and a discontinued unicorn? Are they keeping a few bottles that remind them of you? Selling the valuable ones? Giving them to friends in the hobby? Donating them? Or is Uncle Larry about to inherit your entire Amouage shelf and use Reflection Man as bathroom spray because “it smells clean”? For me, this is one of those topics where the humor helps soften the truth. Our collections are more than bottles. They represent phases of life, memories, moods, trips, milestones, mistakes and moments. Some bottles are just stuff. Others are little glass monuments to who we were, what we loved and how we wanted to be remembered when we walked into a room. What say you, guys? Have you ever thought about what happens to your fragrance collection when you’re gone? Would you want your family to keep certain bottles, sell them, pass them down, or hand them off to someone in the community who would appreciate them? And the anti-question: which bottle in your collection would you absolutely haunt somebody over if they wasted it as room spray?Love to hear from ya’!

- Image — Amouage Reflection Man. Very solid take on Reflection Man. It captures the clean, floral, classy masculine DNA, but the original feels smoother, brighter, and more refined. - Image 45 — Amouage Reflection Man 45One of the better Montagnes. It gives the richer, creamier Reflection 45 feel, but the original has more depth, polish, and luxury. - Empyr Cologne — Bvlgari Le Gemme Empyr gets the smoky, woody, spicy idea across well. The original probably feels denser, more expensive, and more complex. - Azonto — Byredo Bal d’Afrique. Good for the general citrus-floral-woody vibe. The original feels airier, smoother, and more elegant, but Azonto gives the same style for less. - Pineapple Absolu — Creed Aventus Absolu captures the darker pineapple Aventus-style profile. The original has better blending and a more natural expensive feel, but this scratches the itch. - Irish Verbena — Creed Green Irish Tweed. Very wearable green, clean, classic masculine scent.

The original is smoother, creamier, and more luxurious, but Eden gives the Rehab mood very well. - Another 14 — Le Labo Another 13Good clean musky skin-scent style. The original feels more transparent and mysterious, but this gives the same minimal, clean aura. - Eau Gaiac — Le Labo Gaiac 10Nice soft smoky wood profile.
