    just nicer, i wouldnā€™t categorize Acqua di Parma as premium, but they do have some nice scents for summer.

    I am currently on the look out for a summer scent and the only one iā€˜ve found so far that is bottle worthy for me is Nio by Xerjoff. The price hittin though

    I'll check those out!

    I'm usually not using much fragrance (daily, but one/two clicks) so buying a bottle in my case is a purchase for YEARS

    I think the one that hits all the right notes is Tom Ford Costa Azzurra and I think Imma invest in that

    I'll trust Tom Ford with making girls wanna get closer to me

    MFK has the smoothest oud smell but the performance is absolute dog s***, 1 spray lasted 2 hours whereas the 540 lasted more than a day

    anyone else got recs for a smooth oud scent? the TF one is too strong for me

    My Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi tester came in today

    And gotta say I'm a bit disappointed
    There's a lot of hype around it either on here or just by looking at fragrantica reviews so I expected this to be a hidden gem

    But to me the smell is too "simple"
    It's beautiful. Don't get me wrong. Fig is great.

    But when it's on my skin it's smells very "one dimensional"
    All I smell is fig and maybe a lil citrus note blended with the fig.
    Nothing else.

    And the simplicity of that smell doesn't give me that confidence expensive fragrance give

    I'm not one to buy expensive things just bc of the name but when I put Tom Ford Costa Azzurra on I felt like a God and smelled like one. Every time the smell flew next to my nose it was different note I was smelling. It was cypress, then it was the lemon, pine...

    With this, although they smell really nice and fresh, I feel like I smell like I just came out the shower using a good quality fig shower gel.

    I don't feel like it's a smell where a girl would want to be closer to you just bc of the smell.

    But it's day 1.
    Maybe with time I'll fell in love with it

    But my first reaction wasn't a "wow" and If I didn't feel that the people that meet my won't feel that either...

    I thought it was average as well until i put it on during the high summer heat and it transformed.

    I thought it was average as well until i put it on during the high summer heat and it transformed.

    That's something I have to consider too.
    During summer all my dates and social meetings are outside.

    And thinking about walking in the sun. 30C outside. Lose shirt. And that fig smell of ADP

    But on the other hand Cypress of Costa Azzurra will be dope in that scenario too

    Need to think about it for some time.
    Imma give me couple weeks not to rush this.
    Summer is a long way ahead

    Elysium giving me NO performance. Is the ambergris making me nose blind?

  • Feb 22, 2020

    Elysium is very similar to Aventus.

    Reminds me of Aventus Cologne & Aventus mixed, in a way.

    Iā€™d much rather have Aventus though, since you can get them around the same price & they age like wine.

    Some frags can only be properly appreciated in their habitat/climate.

    Which is why Iā€™m packing a Jardin dā€™Amalfi, Fico di Amalfi & Mandarino di Amalfi on my trip to Italy in summer

    Canā€™t wait to be standing on an Amalfi Coastline beach with my floral shirt open in the summer, sweating with 5 sprays of each of the above to my fkn neck B

    Ay bruh you know my vibe, which MFK samples do you think Iā€™d fw? Salute

    u try br540 extrait yet? doesnt get much better than that

    i'd also get oud edp, oud satin mood (if you like rose), amyris extrait, masculin pluriel, grand soir etc

    but tbh mfk isnt one of my fav houses, the only full bottles id get are br540 edp, extrait and maybe oud satin mood if i found it for a good price. the rest of their fragrances are ''good'' but not mindblowing.

    le male

    Just wanted to thank you for this, I smelt amazing and the scent is still on my blazer even after a night of being surrounded by smokers Also found out that the knockoffs I buy is very close to the real deal, the OG Le Male just has more of a sweet/bubblegum scent in comparison and obviously lasts longer/projects better
