Have any of you ever found yourself wearing a fragrance to please others that you don’t particularly care for or perhaps you would have chosen something else but you decided, hmmm I’m going to be with a certain person so I’ll wear this? I have found myself in that type of situation a few times where I’d probably reach for something else but I know who I’m hanging out with has given a compliment on something else or I know they like it a lot and I’ll wear it, even if it’s out of season. Or maybe you make an audible because the person you are with has made a comment they don’t like a specific fragrance. Examples: My wife loves BB Cobalt Elixir, every time I’ve worn it she makes a comment how good I smell and will be more close and what not when that’s not really her normal nature. She typically likes her space even when just watching a movie together at home she will be on her own couch. I just got a bunch of Initio fragrances and would normally want to try them out but both kids were out of the house so naturally I put on Cobalt Elixir as it was just us two. Another instance, I was choosing a fragrance for the afternoon and was going to put on Ingenious Ginger but I remembered I was taking my daughter on a “daddy- daughter date to go putt putt and get ice cream and she hates that fragrance but loves Althair Exclusif so I wore that instead. Another one was my son had a basketball tournament and he bought me Ultra Male as a present so I wore that to his game so he felt like I was wearing his gift when I prob would have chosen something else. Not like any of these are bad fragrances that I don’t like I’m just saying sometimes who I’m with influences what I wear and wonder if anyone else makes these kind of calls.

A long day at your desk and a client meeting call for different things. Silver Mountain Water brings an airy tea note; Original Vetiver is crisp and green. If you prefer woods, there’s Royal Oud. 💰 Creed Aventus EDP is about 33% OFF at Maxaroma, now $340 for 100 ml. https://get.aspr.app/SH1G66 Creed Himalaya EDP is about 35% OFF, now $318 for 100 ml. https://get.aspr.app/SH1IiC Look at the intensity row, gents. Which of these would you move up or down for a shared office, and what Creed would you put on the chart that isn’t there?

Im actually wearing Spicebomb Extreme today, but my son put on Mandarin Sky Elixer after school (about an hour ago) His single shot is overpowering my 3 sprays of Spicebomb! Its not bad though. It's very strong and very sweet! At least a 4' projection, maybe more. Carmel, vanilla and orange is what i get... Heavy on the carmel. I didnt realize just how potent this was when I first wore it. When i try it for a 2nd wearing, I'll aim to use just a 1/4 spray. I still can't recommend this one, but I have hope that a lower dose may work. It smells pretty good from 4-5' away :)

The PDM frag that everyone loves to hate, Kalan. I love this one. Its one of my top 10 frags of all time. Theres nothing else like it. Peppery spice, with blood orange off the top. Aromatic, woody and earthy with a hint of sweet in the dry down. My sample is nearly gone, and a full bottle is sitting in my cart to be ordered soon This one isn't for everyone, but it's definitely for me
