Was given TF Ombre Leather for Xmas. Damn I am loving this stuff. Either going to wear this or Roja Creation-E for New Years Eve. What do you think?

I'm indifferent to it as well. Like I said, "I get it" but only for going out and it is the de facto going out scent for every one else so it is therefor useless to me. I'm just saying I at least see why a demographic who predominantly rocks armani code/spicebomb/etc might think it the King of frags.The REAL copers are the dudes that bought full bottles of Viking. Probably the most mediocre release ever.

If you want it to be apart of your complete "image" then I think creation-e would be great, but i've never in my life received a compliment for Creation-E. That doesn't matter to everyone, just wanted to throw that out there.

Going to the mall this weekend to get another bottle of BdC with money I got for Xmas. Enough for a bottle of something else, anything I should keep my eye out for?

[QUOTE=OrganicMusclr post_id=1569692651]In terms of only compliments, would you say sauvage or uomo intense?
Reason I ask is because I just finished my bottle of sauvage and looking to restock..[/QUOTE]That's really up to you, also I have not tried Uomo Intense yet. When I was a guy that bought a bottle then used it until it's gone, I'd usually look for a contender when I got to the end of my bottle.
For example: I bought PR 1 Million then I discovered Spicebomb. I bought 2 or 3 bottles of that until my nose caught Sauvage for the first time which was similar but slightly different enough for me to purchase that instead. All things considered I don't think Sauvage, Uomo Intense, or Spicebomb would stand out from eachother in terms of the amount of compliments. So it's really up to you as to whether you want to play it safe or get something a little different.
You can get decent sized 2ml samples of all these frags for like $6 on ebay.

Sorry: OJ Nawab of Oudh sample
Beautiful scent again from this house but very safe and conservative. Soft and floral with a delicious chocolatey Oud dry down. Could use a little more omph to make it a wow piece.

How many niche bottles are you guys at? Decided to cut down to 8 bottles total of just the ones I love. I kept the ones I love from Xerjoff, roja, mfk, and two aventus. I should be set for awhile since I don’t wear these perfume everyday. However, I still feel like I’m a hoarder and I should sell 5 and keep 3. I’m also afraid the juice will spoil over time but I keep them in my dark closet. It’s just a pleasure to look at these beautifully made bottles/presentation.
I have a friend who has literally 50+ bottles in his living room showcase and light is exposed to the juice daily and he doesn’t wear perfume everyday either, I don’t know how he does it lol.

New Arrival: Piotr Czarnecki - Kiviskin
Exactly what I smelled in the sample that made me want to make it my creation-e replacement. In the front you predominantly smell leather and cedar. As it dries down you get wafts of the tobacco and nutmeg. Great cold weather daily driver.
Pics:
Spoiler!
Piotr Czarnecki - Venom of Angel:(Coconut, olibanum, black pepper, aloe vera, sugar cane, rum, ivy, cedar, white chocolate). This is so fuking confusing. The opening is an absolutely delicious sweet-candy aroma. It quickly flips to kitchen cleaner and then to diluted baccarat 540. Cool name, intriguing ingredients but this is a big no for me.
Widian - Limited 71:(Bergamot, nutmeg, coriander, patchouli, amber gris, oud, white musk, dry amber, incense). Horrible. I get zero bergamot. This is just dirty fecal oud, incense, and nutmeg. Bad.
Xerjoff - Mefisto Gentiluomo:(bergamot, lavender, lemon, grapefruit, iris, rose, violet, amber, cedar wood, musk) Well first off i'm annoyed because I wanted Uden Overdose. This is mainly a bergamot, lavender, and grapefruit. Lame and forgetable.
Boadicea Victorious - Explorer:(Sicilian lemon, citron, cypress, orris, violet, tobacco, Tuscan leather, oud) Finally, something nice. In the front you get some tobacco mixed with lemon. Feeling slightly like a goober because this might be a better winter daily driver than my Piotr Kiviskin purchase and there's no way I could get this sold off due to the highly niche nature of it. This is the 2nd or 3rd Boadicea that has been a pleasant surprise. Going to be on the hunt for the entire house in 2019.
5 Areej Le Dore (looking to sell 1)
2 Bortnikoff (looking to sell 1)
1 Piotr Czarnecki
I think you have the right mindset. I've smelled literally dozens of niche stuff this year but only pulled the trigger on 7 bottles the entire year. In my opinion you're really not getting into the area of "stupid excess" until you reach 20+
