It's insanity, yet people still have Ferraris, lambos, 911s, I've seen a GT3 RS, Range Rovers are huge status symbols here. Not to mention all the Nissan GTRs, M3/4's etc. People just LOVE their cars here.
I have a sample of Herod, Elysium and most importantly BR540 extrait coming in a couple weeks. Can't wait to test out and give you boyos a review.

Amber Absolute is something i've been wanting to get my nose on for quite some time. Anybody on here have experience with Amber Absolute? What about Italian Cypress?
Italian Cypress is an old school style woody fragrance with oakmoss. If you have smelled the old Polo Green or Halston Z-14, it is in that genre of fragrances. Also decent but sample too if you can. Def try to avoid paying $300 for 50mls of either. You should be able to get splits for less than that on Fb.

So why not try the niche version of spicebomb too right, especially since Layton is a masterpiece and made me realise the house of PDM is worth exploring.You'll like Herod. Hard to hate.

I was reserved about the BR extrait because I really like the airyness of the edp and the fact that it's not sweet in a cloying way. I can handle ultra male though so I think I can handle this one. We'll see!

Forgot to mention....went on a date last night with a chick i met out downtown a few weeks ago. Having drinks, chatting, going well, and she leans in one time talking then snaps back and says "is that you that smells good?" I said "i dunno, is it?" Then she leaned in to smell and planted one right on me.

I'm a very...understated?...person in general. Like in this situation, i don't give the "youre damn right it's me" type response. Or ive heard people walk into one of the bars i go to fri/sat night and say something like "damn something smells good in here." I just smile internally on it unless they ask. And most of the time will have a similarly cheeky response that doesn't really admit to it.

SOTD and 2/2 of my last pickups of 2018:

Shut the front door boyos... this chit is straight fire. Totally not season-appropriate, but damn is it exquisite. They absolutely nailed the "solar notes" on this one. It smells like the sun in your face on a beautiful summer day. Projection is weapons-grade, much like the others in the series.

Scent of the Day: Bortnikoff Bonheur
Bortnikoff has sold out of 50mls of Bonheur and Coup de Foudre, so it's time to slowly but surely start pulling the trigger on 50mls from luckyscent. To my dismay, I've learned to really really enjoy Coup de Foudre as well so I have to stock up on that one in addition to Bonheur. Fuk.
