A great time to be a frag enthusiast. Have seen and read numerous reviews of Aaron's fragrances but never had the opportunity to see much less smell any of them. Looking forward to finally seeing what the buzz is about.

SOTD = Hugo Boss Bottled Pacific
Was able to score a travel exclusive 100ML bottle locally for $95 with tax this past weekend. 6051 batch code dates to February of 2026. This is my initial wear and so far: Opening is a citrusy lemon, salt mix with a hint of coconut. I expected a bigger hit of coconut off the top. Fragrance is not as sweet compared to Le Beau EDT, Paradise Garden or Cocktails and Catamarans. Reminds me of Creed Virgin Island Water due to the lemon and coconut. Saltiness hints at Invictus Aqua as well. Projection the first hour and a half has been good and I received three compliments so far. I applied 7 sprays and honestly could do another 2-3 sprays without offending anyone. Temperatures are expected to be in the mid 80's and humidity is at 88% so this was a good choice. Will update later with additional thoughts

@Michael LoCascio Sr ROTFLMAO with the 20 sprays comment.🤣🤣🤣 Come to think of it you're right, Pacific isn't anywhere as stout as Le Beau, Cocktails and Catamarans or Invictus Aqua for that matter.

Final thoughts on first wear of Bottled Pacific. The performance dropped like a stone at the 5 and a half hour mark but was still able to get a compliment at hour 7. The latter part of dry down is where I got a green and grassy nuance. Definitely a skin scent from hour 8+. This is a good fragrance I just wish the coconut was more prominent. Rating 8.00 / 10.00 Next wear I'm going to follow @Michael LoCascio Sr advice and at least double the sprays. Shoot I might even do the 20 sprays.

Congratulations on making Level 9! @Nick Clemente
And so starts the Sales season
How many times have you brothers said "ok, I'm set, don't think I'll buy any more"? Personally, several, and today I failed yet again. Have made some space in my collection selling/giving some bottles away, but new ones are coming faster than I can move those out. So... newcomers: Maison Alhambra Fantasme 100ml. First impressions are excellent. Going by memory, it's the closer dupe I've tested of Imagination. Longevity seems average, but expect it may improve. Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey EDP 100ml. ALways said the EDT needed "something" more. A citrus, a fruity, or a more aromatic profile. The EDP isn;t exactly what I had in mind, but the amber and incense certainly gives the EDT profile that "something more". Really enjoy it. Versace Eros Energy 100ml. It really gave me Aventus Cologne vibes, which I love. Performance is also about average, which is fine by me. JPG Le Beau Paradise Garden 75ml. Amazing sweetish hot climate banger. I'm not one for sweet fragrances. But the sweetness in this one isn't that usual JPG tonka sweetness that turns cloying so fast to me. It's there, but freshened up by the mildly salty coconut, mint and ginger absolutely complenets it. Don't like the fig note, but at the same time it doesn't bother me... in general, love it. Great performance. JPG Le Male Le Parfum 75ml. Was looking at Dior Homme Intense some months back, when I managed to find a bottle of Dior Homme Original. Still felt I needed a darker and warmer take on the DNA, and this one not only delivers so well, but is different enough to not create any redundancy DNA-wise with Dior Homme Original. Excellent. The 75ml JPGs came up at such a discounted price, that "I had no choice". If I had bought them in the US as I traditionally would've, it's as if I had ordered them at $38 and $44 respectively. Apologies for not being very active as of late. I've been going through some very exhausting times as of late, and just keeping myself functioning has been difficult. I really urgently need to disconnect from everything and just find my center again.
And so starts the Sales season

Nice score! @Edgar Mertins Paradise Garden is one I think you'll really like. The only one in my collection where a very lovely mother and daughter pair chased me across the store to ask what cologne I was wearing. Works in all situations but the most hot and humid of days. Le Male Le Parfum is pretty good too. I typically apply at least 8 sprays of this when going out for it to project any. Ladies do like it but they need to get in close after about 3 hours to pick it up. Reminds me some of Luna Rossa Black in the dry down but with the iris present. Co worker has Eros Energy and it smells good. Lasts a good amount off his skin. Let us know your thoughts on all of your scores.
