I tried a sample of this a couple of months ago and loved it. Now I've got a full bottle. This is easily one of the best scents I've ever come across

I’ve really stopped watching a lot of my favorite creators, as I feel they’ve just been bought out and promote stuff that isn’t that good lol. I used to follow guys like Noel Thomas and FBFragrances, but just as of lately, i don’t find them authentic. The main guys i watch now are Noel Deyzel, because i feel like he’s actually authentic and helpful, and not pushing some shitty dupe like everyone else. I still watch FragranceFlan and Gentscents, but I feel like they’re starting to fall into the dupe house advertising again, too :( Anyways, i’ve started checking out more small, independent creators now, who do videos more as a passion rather than solely wanting a paycheck. Yes, they make money, but their reviews still feel a lot more authentic and honest than the highly paid ones. Probably one of my favorite creators now is this girl called “Fruit Gummi Fragrances”, which is an unusual name yes, but I’ve actually really thoroughly enjoyed her videos. She specializes in less mainstream, more underrated and artistic niche scents, and I’ve found a lot of really good, interesting ones from her recommendations. She’s a younger lady, so maybe not everyone here is the target audience lol, but i do think anyone, especially those looking for cool niche options might get a lot of value from her stuff. She’s got great style and a weirdly nice voice too lol, and i may or may not have a very slight crush on her now (kidding… not really 😭😭) But regardless! I think we should definitely start giving more support to smaller creators. I’ve found their opinions to be the most helpful for me! Link to her tiktok here. She’s also on Insta https://www.tiktok.com/@fruitgummifragrances?_r=1&_t=ZP-96dVy2PIEZi Have a wonderful Sunday, yall!

Looking back at my collection, CK One really is "the one" that takes me straight back to being eighteen. Released in 1994, this iconic creation by perfumers Alberto Morillas and Harry Fremont was a true product of its time, the golden age of 90s perfumery. While I was more of a Tommy Hilfiger guy back then, I’ve come to appreciate CK One as the ultimate "blue jeans and white t-shirt" scent. It was revolutionary for being one of the first widely successful gender neutral fragrances, capturing a specific kind of effortless, minimalist cool that defined an entire decade. When I spray it now, the opening is a bright, nostalgic burst of citrus and fruit; I get a lot of lemon and bergamot mixed with a surprising touch of pineapple and papaya that keeps it from being just another green scent. As it settles, it transitions into a soft, clean floral heart where jasmine and lily-of-the-valley dominate, though a hint of nutmeg keeps it grounded. The dry down is where that classic 90s "clean" vibe really lives, leaning into a base of green tea, musk, and cedar. It’s a very transparent composition,nothing feels heavy or cloying, which is exactly why it has stood the test of time. In terms of performance, I have to be honest: like many of the CK lines, it’s a fairly average EDT. It doesn't project loudly, and it won't last you through a whole workday. However, my perspective on this has changed for the better. I’ve found it has become my go-to gym fragrance because it’s so light and inoffensive. It’s best suited for warmer spring and summer days or casual errands where you just want to smell fresh. Because the performance is on the lighter side, don't be afraid to overspray it. It’s a refreshing, easy-to-wear classic that feels just as right today as it did decades ago. My Rating 7/10 Scent 2 Longevity 2 Sillage 2 Y/N 1

I haven't talked about it much, but I've been working very hard on my remote pilot's certificate. I've been doing test flights, studying for the exam, and putting together a business plan to expand the services I offer. Today, I sat for the exam, and it was the culmination of everything I've been working on for the last 3 months. The pressure to pass was immense. So when I say that I passed, and passed with flying colors, you can imagine the joy and immense pride I have in the accomplishment. It opens up a whole new level of opportunity for me. In the 12 hours since I've passed my exam, I already have a half dozen gigs lined up. It has been a phenomenal day. My SOTD was 1989 from Theodore's Kalotinis. It's plum, pink pepper, and patchouli and makes me feel calm and confident. It was a perfect scent to wear for the test.

I agree with Antonio that he mentioned that most the fragrance from the house of Creed has poor longevity, the price, and the clones juice up the longevity better. I do think Parfums De Marly made their fragrances has stronger longevity 8 plus hours. Which the most expensive fragrances that you that you wish it has better longevity?
