BOS Weekly Member Shoutouts šŸ‘
Brothers, here are a few standout posts from the BOS community this week. 1. @Lon Chaneyfield Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/my-scent-journey-always-moving-up-to-the-real-thing Big shoutout to Lon for sharing his scent journey and connecting fragrance to a bigger life pattern — wanting the real thing, appreciating quality, and understanding the difference between copying the look and owning the experience. That is exactly the kind of deeper fragrance conversation that makes BOS valuable. 2. @Renato Carotti Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/the-hunt-for-dead-stock-tober-chasing-discontinued-fragrances-without-losing-your-nose-or-your-wallet Shoutout to Renato for bringing a useful and grounded take on discontinued fragrances. Instead of just hyping rarity, he reminded everyone to understand what scent profiles they actually love before chasing bottles. Practical, thoughtful, and helpful. 3. @Eduardo Figueroa Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/sad-challenging-times-ahead-prada-lhomme Big shoutout to Eduardo for trusting the community with something deeply personal. His post reminded everyone that BOS is not only about fragrance — it is also about the men behind the bottles, and the support this group can offer during hard seasons. 4. @Stephen DeMent Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/should-we-continue-using-the-word-oriental-in-perfumery Shoutout to Stephen for starting a thoughtful discussion around language, history, and perfumery. He brought personal background and context to the topic, which helped elevate the conversation beyond simple opinion.

We wish the most expensive fragrances can last longer
I agree with Antonio that he mentioned that most the fragrance from the house of Creed has poor longevity, the price, and the clones juice up the longevity better. I do think Parfums De Marly made their fragrances has stronger longevity 8 plus hours. Which the most expensive fragrances that you that you wish it has better longevity?
SOTD Orientica Xclusif bleu
Xclusif Oud Bleu is a rich, sweet, woody, and spicy blend. It masterfully balances a fresh, almost minty opening with a warm, creamy dry down. ​Top Notes: Green Apple, Lavender, Mandarin Orange, Pepper, Bergamot ​Heart Notes: Cardamom, Violet, Geranium, Jasmine ​Base Notes: Vanilla, Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, Patchouli, Musk ​How It Evolves ​The Opening: On the initial spray, you get a sharp, juicy blast of green apple and tart mandarin mixed with a prominent, fresh lavender. There is a distinct "mentholated" or minty vibe here—very characteristic of the Layton DNA—giving it a cool, crisp sharpness. ​The Mid: As the citrus settles, the spices wake up. Warm cardamom and a touch of peppery warmth mix with subtle, powdery florals like violet and geranium. ​The Dry Down: This is where the fragrance truly shines. It transforms into a gorgeous, creamy vanilla and sandalwood blanket, backed by dark guaiac wood and a hint of earthy patchouli. It’s sweet, warm, deeply masculine, and incredibly seductive. ​Performance Breakdown ​Longevity (9.5/10): Exceptional. Because it's an extrait, this easily hits 10 to 12+ hours on the skin. If it gets on your clothes, expect to smell it days later. ​Projection & Sillage (9/10): It is an absolute beast for the first 3 to 4 hours, pushing out a heavy, intoxicating scent trail that will easily fill a room if you aren't careful. It eventually settles into a dense, noticeable scent bubble. ​Versatility: Best suited for Fall, Winter, and cooler Spring days. It's phenomenal for date nights, evenings out, or making a statement. Warning: It is way too heavy and sweet for high summer heat or the gym—it can become cloying if oversprayed. ​Spray Recommendation: Go easy. 2 to 3 sprays are more than enough to get you through an entire day. ​The Verdict ​If you love Parfums de Marly Layton but want to save your wallet while potentially getting even better performance, Xclusif Oud Bleu is a home run. It hits about a 95% match to the original, tilting just a fraction more spicy and patchouli-forward in the deep dry down, but delivering a massive, show-stopping aura.
