I think you recommended me saudi by Roja. I will sample that and two others next.

Shortly after, I sampled Saudi and everything clicked brah. It was EXACTLY what I wished Aventus would be. Much deeper, richer, that slightly skanky touch of Oud with candied fruits to make it addictive and mysterious. After so many discoveries and scents tested, it blew my fuking mind and shot straight up to my #3 of all time. And certainly my most versatile scent because my top two are basically gourmand category.
Honestly it's so expensive so maybe you should not go down that rabbit hole but good luck.

I feel like I should test the edp/parfum along with YSL Y edp again and decide what I'd go with.

what are the most wearable Amouge scents? Reflection Man, Jubilation? What else? Seems like a lot are offputting with strong ash or incense notes.

SOTD: Invictus Legend
Got a full bottle of this one from a Sephora sampler pack coupon. Originally wanted Prada Luna Rossa Carbon, but they were out so I went with my second choice. I'm liking it more and more, very fruity and sweet opening with a fantastic marine dry drown. Projects heavily and lasts a long time too. Hard to decide if I like this more or less than Versace Eros.

The vast majority of dudes I know don't wear cologneat all, much less this specific one. Excited for it to get here and see what all the fuss is about.Well done boyo. I've rarely smelled this out out in the wild and when I finally do it usually smells fantastic as long as the dude didn't bathe in it. I feel like that's what mostly causes the negative reaction it gets in the frag community. It has a piercing pepper note and the sprayer is the best in my whole collection so people are usually bathing themselves in it.
Once you do 2-3 sprays your sillage will be perfect. Any more and you'll goof.

Does anyone know whatever happened to my boy Fragboy Stewie? He hasn't made a video in a long time, I know he moved from Canada to LA (IIRC?) but haven't seen him mentioned in any groups or anything in years. He was one of my favorites when I got back into this stupid hobby.

I struggled deciding between Carbon and Sauvage to buy. Eventually went with Sauvage since it's the OG and allegedly projects a lot better. Heard people say Carbon doesn't last as well, but who knows.
Prada L'Homme to this day might be my favorite fragrance, so I like the company. But don't have anything from Dior until my Sauvage gets here.

You really think they made this fragrance not using Sauvage as the inspiration and it just happened to pop up shortly after and smell so similar?

Sauvage inspired a lot of different frags.
