Been looking at Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill lately and I can’t decide if it’s worth dropping that much money on a fragrance. Also the reviews I find on other platforms seem to all be glazing the hell out of it so I’m not sure if I should trust them haha. For anyone who’s owned it: How’s the performance and longevity? Do you get compliments from it? Does it smell noticeably better than the popular dupes? If you’ve tried both, is the real thing worth the extra $$$? Trying to figure out whether to save up for the original or grab a dupe and call it a day. Interested to hear some honest opinions

Since I was 13 I’ve always wanted cologne to become the best smelling dude in the room. So my collection started off with obvious fakes 😭. Kicked things of with “One Bilion” in an all glass bottle with printed on letters. Then a bunch of other ridiculous names lol. Then one Christmas i was lucky enough to get my first ever REAL designer cologne: Versace pour homme. I love this cologne for so many reasons. Except longevity lol. I originally wanted my uncles cologne Mont Blanc explorer edp. I loved it so much, and it brought presence to the room. My main reason for getting into frags on th first place. But then I got my first job, and bought myself Calvin Klein one. Not that great of a purchase ngl 😭. But then got a few samples from Versace Eros najim. And then got one million royal for Christmas last year! So then that became my favourite cologne that I owned. And still is. And recently I ordered some more Cologne and love all 3! Creed aventus, azzaro the most wanted parfum and Bleu de Chanel edp. But yeah that’s basically me! Thanks for reading if you got this far. Means a lot to me. Aight Kearnsy out boys.

Brothers, here are a few standout posts from the BOS community this week. Shoutout to @Renato Carotti for sparking a major conversation around his order update from The Parfums. The discussion shows how invested this community is in the fragrance-buying experience. Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/an-update-on-your-order-from-the-parfums Shoutout to @Ollie Kearns for sharing his fragrance journey as a 16-year-old. From early mistakes to building more intentional taste, this is exactly the kind of progression that helps newer members learn. Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/my-current-fragrance-journey-as-a-16-yo And shoutout to @Michael LoCascio Sr for the “Two farewells this weekend” post. Finishing bottles in a serious collection always sparks great conversation, and this one clearly connected with the group. Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/two-farewells-this-weekend Keep sharing your collections, scent stories, questions, and lessons learned. These posts make the Brotherhood stronger!

What can I say that hasn’t been said. You want the best leather out there? This is it. You want to smell like a man that other men worship and ladies adore? This is it. I have gotten a few compliments over my time, but this is the only one that someone chased me down and asked what I was wearing. And I was only testing it at that time. To smell it is to love it. All of Tom Ford makes me happy, but this one hits different. I think I am going to wear only Tom Ford for the rest of the week through the weekend. I even have a tester that may get worn next week too, we will see. Enjoy brothers and have a good smelling evening.

Can’t wait to put them in rotation
