Frag Acquisitions

Just arrived the other day. I actually prefer this one over the original by a slight margin.

Ugh. I am back down this rabbit hole ...

Calvin Klein Contradiction for Men and Euphoria Intense.

Actually using a lot of Varvatos Dark Rebel Rider. I didn't appreciate this when I first got it, apparently.

Also, your tastes and perception DO change with time and nose-education ...

Yes, I fell hard down the frag rabbit hole recently. In that span of a month I’ve picked up 50ml bottles of:

Creed Aventus
Creed GIT
Creed Silver Mountain Water
Creed Millesime Imperial
Parfums de Marly Layton
Hermes Terre d’Hermes
Acqua di Parma Colonia
Azzaro Pour Homme
YSL Rive Gauche
YSL La Nuit De L’Homme
YSL L’Homme
JPG La Male
Versace The Dreamer
D&G The One
Nautica Voyage

And several 5ml sample decants

And to think, the last time I wore any kind of fragrance was in college in the 90’s, when I wore Cool Water or CK One exclusively. My wife thinks I’m crazy.

I totally get this.

Aftershave was the gateway drug for me; if something smells great, you want it to last! Get the cologne!

I just purchased a bag of Pimenta Racemosa (Bay Rum Leaves) for attempting to make my own Bay Rum based off of the recipes here. I have always loved Bay Rum and the idea of making my own personalized scent.

Just picked up the Distillery Series of four boozy scents ... Tried Alabama Moonshine.

Strong for sure, familiar but can't place it ... Yet.

Ok, tried the New York one ... A Creed Aventus clone, and a good one!

This needs a thread!

Just got back to using cologne after a long absence. My first few purchases:

Lacoste Blanc - love it!
Truefitt & Hill Grafton - disappointing, takes hours to get to the "soapy barbershop" scent described by reviews
Drakkar Noir - a tried & trusted purchase
