Three days left, fellas! We’re standing right at the edge of the finish line, and the hardest part is already behind us! Think back to those early days when the temptation felt constant and the idea of a whole month without buying a new bottle seemed impossible. Yet here we are, three days away from proving to ourselves that discipline, patience and community support can win out over impulse. This final stretch is about more than just restraint. It’s about pride in what we’ve accomplished and the habits we’ve built along the way. Every skipped “add to cart,” every scroll past these endless discount posts, every moment we leaned on each other in the #Brotherhood; it's those small victories stacked up into something bigger. We didn’t just say no to buying, we said yes to growth, focus and proving that we have control over the passion that drives us. Now it’s time to lock in and finish strong. Don’t let these last few steps trip you up! You’ve made it too far to stumble now. Remember, this challenge isn’t just about saving money or resisting temptation, it’s about proving to yourself that you can commit and persevere. Let’s cross this line together, and when October rolls in, we’ll know we earned the right to look back and say with pride: we did that. 💪 #NoBuySept #Brotherhood #StrongerTogether

One of my most complimented fragrances ever.

Fast reach to run out and help a cousin with a bee problem then run errands for my big guy’s home game later this afternoon. This frag sports that very similar Eros dna with fair performance and a good scent profile. Perhaps this bottle gets polished off today😏. What do we think. It’s about half empty at this point so a nice bath should put the final touch on it for sure. After all it’s only a 1ml so it should t be too difficult considering the dowsing I’ll release onto myself, lol. Smell great today brothers. Smell great out there.

So I burned through a 3ml decant of Aventus Absolu and decided I needed more wears to see if it’s full bottle worthy for my collection. I’m not a sellout if I get it, right? Tried to go easy since I’ll be in a confined space… two sprays to the neck, one to the chest, and kind of a half spray on each arm. It’s crisp and bright and rich - I’m enjoying this a lot today. But… I *might* have overdone spraying it — i’m getting whiffs like crazy. Hopefully everyone around me will enjoy it too 🤦‍♂️ Stuck my head in the duty free but the one in this terminal is tiny, so I’ll have to do my main shopping before my return flight
