I’ve had this since it first came out in 2011. It’s a very nice woody spicy fragrance that has very good performance and really is a fantastic scent. Definitely has a “few” notes. 😂 You might be surprised to learn the nose behind this frag has made a ton of other frags in some very popular houses such as Amouage. Jub XXV, Reasons and Dia. Oddly the house and frag really doesn’t get much love. At $140/100ml, I consider it a bargain in today’s market. What say you family? Anyone tried this house before?

This isn’t a fun story to share at all, but I hope it helps you guys avoid making the same mistake I did. A few days ago, I asked the community whether it would be a good idea to trade my Hugo Boss Bottled EDP 200ml for an Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum 150ml. Original post for reference: https://www.skool.com/bos/my-first-possible-trade Most people thought it was a solid deal, so I told the guy I’d go ahead with it. Unfortunately, things didn’t turn out well at all. We had agreed to meet up 9 December to make the swap. He showed up two hours late and didn’t even bring the fragrance with him… Since I know him pretty well, I still handed over my bottle and trusted him to bring the Azzaro the next day. That didn’t happen. Three days later he told me he no longer wanted to trade for the Boss (not exactly fun news to hear). He showed me his collection, but nothing in it appealed to me or added anything new to mine. So I suggested he either buy it from me or just give it back. After some back-and-forth texting, he agreed to buy it for 90 euros. But the story doesn’t end there. For about two weeks he barely replied to my messages, and eventually he admitted he didn’t have the money to buy my bottle. Yeah, that was another great message to receive (being very sarcastic here btw). Still, I arranged another meet-up and waited again. For the third time, he decided the deal no longer worked for him - this time because of money. I have a lot of patience, but things were starting to get ridiculous. Even so, we finally reached an agreement we both liked: 50 euros plus his Afnan Supremacy In Heaven. He transferred the 50 euros and promised to drop off the Afnan the next day. Three days later, however, we still hadn’t closed the loop. Once again, he claimed I was ripping him off by asking too much (even though he had suggested those terms himself every time). By that point I was so fed up with all the time and effort I’d put in that I just said 70 euros would be fine too.
