But this one arrived today. In honor of the fact it came out in 1995, I connected to the group today using dial up, on my Windows 95 machine that has Elle Macpherson as my wallpaper, listening to my Hootie and the Blowfish CD. 😁

#sotd... Gary's Den by FOMO.... This is a great clone to Dior Homme Parfum... High quality fragrance at an affordable price. Opens with a semi-sweet and semi-fresh with a very faint spiciness. Great overall performance. I went 10 hours before refreshing. Projection is a little more than arms length. I give this a 9 out of 10.

Our brother @S May has reached level 9! Congratulations, well deserved.

I’m heading to a Realtor networking event today — a mix of presentations, quick conversations, and a quiz segment I’ll be leading. The vibe I’m going for: composed, confident, and memorable without being overpowering. For that, I’m wearing Blockade layered with Gambit — two fragrances that, within the Mind Games collection, are essentially soulmates. Blockade represents resilience and grounded authority — dark woods, spice, and amber depth that command quiet respect. Gambit, on the other hand, was designed as its natural counterpoint — smooth, charismatic, and strategic. It softens the intensity of Blockade while amplifying its sophistication. Together, they feel like a dialogue between power and poise — the perfect pairing when you want presence without volume. Question for the group: When you’re in a professional or social setting where first impressions matter, do you reach for something dark and grounded like this, or do you prefer to keep things fresh and approachable?

Feels like I am the last one to get these. Excited to test them out by wearing them. Tried a spray or two already and I must admit, i sort of agree with @Justin Tillery ’s post of cal cologne, they are nice but not worth the price and nothing special. I will get back to you after a full review though.
