---I am richer for enjoying what I own.--- What say you, Gents? Not to mention richer in spirit, I'm also richer in wallet! I looked back on my average monthly fragrance expenditures and realized how much I've saved thus far! For those who know how big my collection is, that's a chunk of change. How about you guys, have you noticed more money in your bank account this month? How does it feel? Love to hear from ya'!

I want to send a huge shoutout to @Jamal Moore for sending over these decants and samples! I’m not going to have a chance to smell them yet but I’m sure they’re all going to be amazing! Can’t wait to try this Amiel Brown and the Memo Paris Moon Fever for sure! Thanks Jamal! You’re the MAN! Samples & Decants included • Amiel Brown CXLVII • Memo Paris Moon Fever • Pantheon Romo “O” • Issey Miyake Nuit D’Issey • Ferragamo Uomo Signature • L’Eau D’Issey Wood & Wood • House of Dastan Love Flame • Ferragamo Spicy Leather • Mattiere Premier falcon leather

In the evenings, right now specifically since I’m not allowed to go work out, rather than sit in my hotel, I’ll go window shop at any department stores, TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, etc, in the area. Tonight it was the Dillards in Panama City and I scored free samples of Prada Black, Jo Malone Oud and Bergamut, Jen Paul Gautier Le Male Le Parfum, and Chanel Bleu de le’exclusif. First time I’d seen signs everywhere saying free samples so I asked the man working the area and he was more than happy to give me these saying it’s best to go home and give each a test run and see how it works with your skin. Tip of the hat to Adam and his extensive knowledge of the brands that Dillard’s carries.

---Patience makes every future purchase more meaningful.--- What say you, Gents? How has your patience grown (or been tested 😆) during #NoBuySept? Any fragrance you use to heighten your sense of calm and refill your cup of patience? Love to hear from ya'!

As @Lon Chaneyfield pointed out I just hit Level 9! It’s been an informative 3 months in the group. I’ve learned a lot and definitely picked up some new tastes and houses since starting. I’d like to take this moment to thank @Antonio Centeno for putting this brotherhood together. It’s truly an awesome place. Also a huge shout out to the brothers that have interacted with me along the way. So thank you to @Justin Tillery @Lon Chaneyfield @Edward Mooney @Henry Clay @Dovi Rubelow @Aaron Doughty @Jonathan Ventura @Steve Louis @Brett Sutton @Ben E @Raul Olveda @Julio Gutierrez @Jamal Moore @Rich Toczynski @Rishabh Kalra @Thomas Chavez @Eric Jones @Michael LoCascio Sr @Robb Linnemann-Silverberg @Jermaine Carolina @Andrew G.
