It's been long since a bought some perfume for summer and I was thinking about buying one or two but before I can realize I bought quite a lot.

Really looking forward to exploring the House of Sillage. Picked up the sample set on sale from their website and it comes with $100 off value towards one of their bottles. I’m hoping there’s at least one that’s full bottle worthy in here – I’ve got at least four that on paper look fantastic Anyone here spent some time with this house?

first pic is from a few years ago. the second pic is the collection currently. extremely proud of the journey so far. my very first designer buy was gucci guilty, and the first full sized bottle i got was versace man eau fraiche. can’t believe ive made it this far, and i owe it all to this wonderful community for steering me in the right direction! i’ll likely be selling off a lot of my designer scents, like sauvage, spicebomb, and possibly coral fantasy and le beau le parfum. i might hang onto lblp though. not sure so far. i’ve sold off three other scents, since im trying to build a more disciplined, curated wardrobe. most recent pickup was pacific chill, which was a birthday gift (oh yeah haha, forgot to mention my birthday was on the 8th 😔). anyways though, much love to you all! it’s been amazing watching my growth and staying humble as i’ve spent more time here. i’ve gone from a newbie to the guy my friends and family go to for solid fragrance advice. even looking at my old posts, it’s been insane to see how much i’ve grown and developed. so once again, thank you community! and thank you mr centeno!

From left to right in that order. In our Facebook group, I traded L’Homme Ideal EDP and Xerjoff Starlight for an extra bottle of Percival. Thanks, brother @Steve Wong I bought Hermes Pairs Eau d’Orange Verte and Eau de Citron Noir because I enjoyed them before and they were a good deal. I had to have Memo Paris Winter Palace because it has a great tea note and wanted in my collection. I traded an item for Electimuss Trajan and Mercurial Cashmere, looking for Astrum Nova. I bought Dolce & Gabbana Intenso and Pour Homme from a great fellow member, @Frank Barnett Finally, I found Micheal Malul & Gents Scents West Loop for a really good deal and I’m looking for the last three to complete my collection.

Thanks to @Robert Sheard I followed suit and got this great shelf for my arsenal- 😊 it now sits proudly among my watches and jewelry box.
