Honor is a gift a man gives himself: it isn’t bestowed by kings or wealth, but comes from living true to one’s principles. https://www.missionfragrances.com I love having a scent that reminds me to live the day as my best self. Truthfulness – A man’s word is his bond. Breaking it is worse than losing fortune or life. Loyalty – Standing by family, community, and those who trust you, no matter the hardship. Courage – Facing danger, injustice, or stronger enemies without cowardice. Self-respect – Acting in a way that lets you hold your head high, regardless of others’ opinions. Justice – Choosing what is right, not merely what is profitable or safe.

Hey gents, As you know, shipping MF Sets internationally can be a headache — perfumes are classified as hazardous goods, costs are high (Europe, AUS is $90+ 😬), and customs can be a gamble. I just tested out a service called Nova Post Global and it worked surprisingly smooth. They’ve got warehouses in New Jersey and Delaware (tax-free). And they ship to numerous countries. Basically, you get your own US shipping address → ship your order there → and then they forward it to your country. Took about 8–14 days, and I picked mine up straight from a post office/postomat in Ukraine. Cost to Ukraine $22. Here’s their site if anyone wants to check it out: https://novaposhtaglobal.ua/en/ Figured I’d share since I know a lot of us have been struggling with this issue. P.S. Several Ukrainian women told me Mission Fragrances are AMAZING - who am I to argue😇

I recently got in the discovery set of the Gents Scent and Michael Malul collab. I’ve sprayed each one on my hand over the past couple of days and here are my initial thoughts and rankings. 1. South Slope: the best of the set. A nice fresh citrus and woody scent. The safest of the bunch and probably the most mass appealing. 2. Terra Nova: a very good fragrance it’s sweet with a hint of spice and aromatic woods. A good daily wear I think can be worn all year. 3. Edgewater: the peppermint and bergamot are a nice combination in the open followed by a very creamy coconut and a burst of tonka bean and vanilla. Good for spring days and summer nights. 4. West Loop: probably the sweetest of the bunch with a good almond note. Definitely more suited for winter as the sweetness can overpower in the summer. 5. Jet Black Enigma: my least favorite of the group. Not bad but I’m not to sure how I feel about the cinnamon and pepper in the opening. Another fall/winter frag. No full wearing on any of them yet and I’ll probably keep the winter ones away until I can get a real feel during cooler weather. I imagine my opinions could change once a full wearing is in. Overall I’m impressed with the line. Though the only full bottle worthy ones to me would be South Slope, Terra Nova and Edgewater.

Inspired by @Lon Chaneyfield 's post about trust and sharing our collections, here's some photos of my current collection. 1). Part 1 of my main collection. These are ones that I have purchased for the most part and enjoy collecting. I'm working on organizing these shelves, but right now they're loosely organized by designer, bottle shape, season, and size. These are mostly designer and clones on this riser. 2). Part 2 of the main collection. They are on risers on a shelf in my closet. I'm looking to get a book shelf or display shelf to better hold them. These are transition to niche, but it's a mix of niche, designer, and clones. 3). Part 3 of the main collection. More niche, but still a mix. They are mostly organized by bottle shape and design house. Most of the very front row are my all time favorites and are waiting for cooler weather to wear again. 4). This is my sample shelf. On the left are travel sizes and my old ScentBird bottles that I got when I first started out. On the risers are my samples and decants organized alphabetically by design house. These are H-Z. 5). My sample holders. On the left is A-B, and on the right is B-H. The missing ones are either in my current rotation or have been expended over the last couple of months. 6). Perfume jail and my 5mL decant / samples. These are all maturing or are overflow from the shelves above. Most of the 5mL decants are from ScentsAngel. I really like their bottle design, so I tend to order from them first. 7). These are my current in rotation fragrances that I am actively wearing. I'm really trying to use up as many of my samples / decants as possible, so I'm prioritizing those and trying to use up one before moving on to the next. I've put down about 20 over the last couple of months. Fine'ry Mysterious Nomad on the 2nd shelf is my current #1 go-to and the one I've worn the most this summer. You can see there's a sizeable dent in the 60mL bottle. Prisma Citron is second. I've gone through 2 sample bottles now, and have an 11mL bottle in the closet (see pic 4). The whole Prisma line is incredible, and I'm working my way through those and planning to do some write ups on them soon.
