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?

Just curious, I know none of us want to think we made a bad purchase…..What are some of your LEAST favorite scent in your collections? It could be something bought as a blind buy or something you liked in the store but disliked once you got it home and now just takes a spot never to be worn again or maybe your tastes have changed? I have 3 in my collection all blind buys cheapies Lattafa Brioche Vanille Raghba Wood Intense Maison Alhambra lovely Cherie

I ordered directly off PDM’s website and they gave me overnight delivery, came in yesterday afternoon so wore last night and then again today to have a solid couple wearing before reporting. I listened to a few others reviews and I’m not getting the same vibe as what they did. First, this is one of the best blind buy success of the year for me. I love PDM style scents and only really have one that I don’t care for and even that one isn’t a total miss. To me, this isn’t really reminiscent of anything in the PDM lineup, and I own all of them. If I were to compare it to a PDM, just the initial spray has a burst of pepper and bergamot that slightly resembles Castely but is fleeting. Like barely worth mentioning the opening. This is a mid and base heavy fragrance on my skin. I also would not classify this as only a fall winter fragrance at all. I think you could pull this off all year, it’s in the 90’s today and I went outside to grill wings for my lunch and it wasn’t coying at all, not saying this would be my top pick for a hot summer day but I’ve predominantly been indoors and it works if your in and out in summertime just as well as I’d assume in fall winter. How it smells: The main vibe I get is creamy, resinous not overly sweet but, the sweetness does comes through with vanilla and tonka and ever so slightly and I mean slightly smoky. Not like a tobacco Smokey, somewhere between smelling someone toast almonds to a fancy wood chips that you’d put on a smoker but don’t buy this thinking it has a heavy Smokey quality, it just gives the wearer a slight bit of mystery. I think it leans masculine but a confident woman could pull this off. It’s not overly loud but lasts quite awhile and gives me a nice scent bubble. The closest thing I have in my collection to compare is something like Channel Allure home Sport Extreme , but it doesn’t smell like that, just has a similar feeling. Where CAHSE takes the creamy texture and adds freshness, this takes a similar creamy texture and goes in a deeper, darker direction.
