"The Scent That Started Your Journey" Challenge (Winner gets a gift!)
Every fragrance enthusiast has a "Point of No Return." It’s that first bottle that made you realize scent isn't just about "smelling clean" - it’s about identity, confidence, and how you choose to command a room. It was the moment you stopped grabbing whatever was on the bathroom counter and started building a signature. Today, we’re kicking off a 7-day challenge to find the "Gateway Scent" that started your journey. The Challenge: "The Scent That Started Your Journey" We want to hear about the specific fragrance that opened your eyes. Maybe it was a gift that made you feel like a man for the first time, or a scent you saved up for because you saw it on someone you respected. What was the bottle that turned "getting ready" into a ritual? HOW TO JOIN (Super easy) Drop your story in the comments under this post. Use this quick format: 1. The Scent: What was the fragrance that started it all? 2. The Origin: Who wore it, or how did it find its way into your hands? 3. The Representation: What did that scent represent to you at the time? (Sophistication? Power? A new chapter?) 4. The Journey: Where has your fragrance journey taken you since that first bottle? Optional: Feel free to attach a photo of the fragrance. HOW THE CHALLENGE WORKS - Challenge will run for 7 days (starting today until Jan 23rd) - Post your story in the comments of this post (not separate posts) - Our team will personally pick the winner at the end - Winner will be announced next week Friday Jan 23rd - Winner gets a surprise gift from Antonio šŸŽ WINNERS WILL BE PICKED BASED ON - Detail and quality of your comment (70%) - Thumbs up from others (5%) - Paid members will have plus points.

SOTD: Modern Poet – Michael Malul
Gave Modern Poet a full wear today to see how it develops on my skin. First spray: ~1:44 p.m. Opening (1:44 p.m.): Right away, I’m getting a bitter citrus opening, not a bright or juicy one. It smells more like lemon rind or zest than fresh squeezed citrus. There’s a slight gin-like fizziness, which makes sense given the note breakdown, but it’s not sharp or sparkling. Overall, the opening leans bitter, aromatic, and slightly herbal. ~40 minutes in (around 2:22 p.m.): The citrus has calmed down and the gin and cardamom are more noticeable now. I’m also picking up something that feels sage-like, even though sage isn’t listed. Projection isn’t huge, but there’s a comfortable scent bubble around me. Still pleasant at this stage. Mid phase (around 3:46 p.m.): About two hours in, this fragrance turns very green. All the citrus has disappeared and I’m getting a faint cypress-like woodiness. This is where the green packaging starts to make more sense. The scent is now clearly woody and dry, clean but subdued. Projection drops off quite a bit here. Final drydown (around 7:14 p.m.): By the four-hour mark, this is fully a skin scent. The drydown is completely green and woody, with no citrus left. Pleasant, but understated. This is a nice scent overall, but not something I’d rush out to buy a full bottle of. If someone gifted it to me, I’d happily wear it. Overall: Modern Poet starts off aromatic and bitter-citrus, then transitions into a green, woody drydown. It’s well made and easy to wear, but performance is modest and it stays subtle throughout.

Interlude Man // Amouage
First spin with this nicely distinct incense forward frag right here. Perfect for this time of year it’s dark ambery with a mild punch of spice as well as smoky and resinous. Definitely a unique dna and very much up to par with other finely blended incense fragrances I’ve owned. I don’t get an over abundance of the church vibe (which I also like) here but I would definitely call this a mature scent. It’s very powerful through the gate and longevity is damn near eternal šŸ˜šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼. I suggest to sample first as this scent may not be for everyone. I’m enjoying the crap out of it šŸ™‚. Smell great frag fam. Have a blessed day.
