The response to Question 2 continues to prove what makes this brotherhood special—knowledge, passion, and a genuine respect for the art of fragrance. I’m grateful for every brother who has taken a moment to reflect, vote, and walk alongside me on this Level 8 journey toward Level 9. With each question, the study deepens. Your voice is more than participation—it’s perspective. It shapes understanding, strengthens connection, and helps preserve the legacy we are building together within this community. If you see the poll, take a second to share your answer. Every response adds meaning to the journey, and I’m honored to continue learning and growing with each of you. Thank you, brothers.

I’m closing in on my final cool weather collection, adding the stunningly delicious Absolute Aphrodisiac, the fantastic cheapie Cal Cologne Thriller, and the fantastic Velvet Incenso (this blows Incense 01 out of the water, IMHO). With these purchases, I’m pretty much done with cool weather bottles. *If* I were to get one more, it would probably be Babycat. Now I’ll start to focus on finding a few more year – rounders and warm weather bottles. To fill out my summer collection, I got the delicious Aoud Lemon Mint and the delightful Colonia Il Profumo (thanks to @George Hernandez for putting me onto that one). I’ve been having a hard time finding a versatile year rounder, but I’ve got some promising decants coming soon. And with just those few more, my collection will be complete and I will be all done buying bottles. Yep, that’s right, allllllll done.
