First and foremost I would like to share to the community a little bit of life updates. Originally when I joined this community, I was infatuated with fragrances but couldn't wear any of them in support of my wife who was expecting our second child, Baby AJ. I have come to finally share that we have since had our baby boy and he is the cutest thing in the world. I was so happy to have him enter the world healthy and full of life. But another reason for my joy is, you guessed it, I get to SPRAY AGAIN!!! In my joy, I was able to revisit a fragrance that I haven't tried before, but was pleasantly surprised with. That was Abercrombie & Fitch FIERCE! This is a really nice fragrance, but what surprised me about it was that it was very similar to a fragrance I asked about in this community a while back, AVATAR by Coty. Since being discontinued, it been really hard to find a bottle that I am willing to pay the price for. It was never really an expensive fragrance to begin with, so to see the price skyrocket was saddening. This fragrance was out back in '97, but I still feel like it can hold its own now days. Questions for the Brothers: What fragrance brings you back to a time filled with pure joy?

I was looking up this fragrance and saw it skyrocketed in price. Then read about how it was discontinued. I had this fragrance all throughout middle school up until Sophomore year in high school. Was legit my go to. Wanted to go back through memory lane, but $300 for a discontinued fragrance is appropriate if it’s rare, but out of my price budget for fragrances this year. Any one know or have heard of any Alternatives or have tried any to smell similar. I’ve been searching around and have come across some, but wanted to know if anyone has find any worthy.

Happy Sunday Brotherhood! “Rockin” pacific rock moss today with this amazingly great weather. Not too hot, not too cold… just right like this amazing fragrance. It’s zesty, aquatic, slightly floral, clean and fresh. First spray offers you a burst of watery lemon rind and juice which comes across slightly bitter which I loves. It dries down to a bright smooth mossy note with a slight touch of woodyness that makes it a beautiful composition. It’s perfect for a day like this where you want to smell fresh and clean. Funny thing… Wifey just walked into the room and said, “ooh that’s pretty strong. Smells Like something I would wear with the florals”. Wait she smelled floral?!?! I sniffed again and dang she’s right! I guess she’s more hip to the geranium and sage notes than I am. At least she likes it and that’s all that matters. Performance is pretty good at around 5-6 hours of longevity with a projection of 2-3 feet for the first hours of wear. Sillage is present and lets people smell the freshness that are in close proximity. I recommend this for someone looking for a clean fresh mossy feel. It’s smooth and zestyyyyyy. I stick to my original rating of 8 / 10 for this bad boy. Have a great day hood and stink good today, you deserve it.

Yesterday I had a procedure, Septoplasty!!! Anyway, woke up groggy, came home, and rested. Tomorrow, they will remove the stents. I wanted more Air and not have to wait for a less clogged, for non muted smell. LOL. Anyway Made it home, went to sleep, and had my significant other take me to the Creed Boutique in Scottsdale, found a shortcut into the mall part where it was located by going in through Macy's after calling them. I had the new Wild Vetiver on pre-order, and it was released, and I wanted my bottle, so with dripping bandage and rest, I marched myself into the store to claim my bottle. @Ben E offered to go for me but I wanted it right away LOL, and like all significant others, I knew she would think I was stupid, so she would never go pick it up by herself!!!

Do y'all have a go to that never fails? What’s your dumb reach?
