Brothers, I need your help. I’m looking to buy one of the 3 fragrances. Which should I go for? Personal pros and cons below. 1- ENCRE NOIR 100ml. £20.99. Pros: Cheapest. Sound like my kind of fragrance (“the scent that Dracula would wear”). Likely the funniest outcome. Cons: Blind buy. 2- LE BEAU LE PARFUM INTENSE 75ml. £53.99. Pros: Wife and I like the scent. Good saving. Good bottle. First JPG. Cons: Not had a full wear test. Fruity fresh marine-like scents tend to fade on me. 3- COLONIA EDC 100ml. £65.99. Pros: Great scent. Great pedigree. Great saving. A classic. Cons: Terrible performance. Still most expensive. Help me BoS. You’re my only hope.

The momentum from Question 3 shows that this brotherhood isn’t just active—it’s intentional. The depth of thought, the honesty in your choices, and the respect shown in every response reflect exactly what Level 8 study is about. I appreciate every brother who continues to lean in, reflect, and contribute to this journey toward Level 9. This next question pushes us a little further. Not just what we like—but why we choose it. Not just preference—but principle. Each answer helps reveal patterns, values, and instincts that define us as fragrance enthusiasts and as men who take pride in this craft. If you see the poll, take a moment to cast your vote. Your insight matters. Your voice strengthens the data. And together, we continue building something rooted in knowledge, respect, and legacy. Grateful to walk this path with you, brothers.
