Fragrances

@indigo_fades I would recommend Carved Oud by Thameen as an alternative to Oud Wood. Only issue is that it’s now suffering from the same longevity and projection issues as OW and is nearly the same in that regard.

@indigo_fades Love Tom Ford Oud Wood, just re-upped yesterday. We compared it to a few different versions and my wife and I hands down prefer the Ford to the others. The new Oud Voyager works well on the wife, and we tried the Creed Oud Zarian, which was nice too. The Fucking Fabulous is also great by Ford, but works better for me during the warmer seasons. Same with the Soleil Blanc.
Also picked up the Creed Centaurus, which I'm super hooked on. It just get all up in your nose and stays there hahaha, in a good way.
The thing i realized about fragrances is that samples are a MUST due to the fact that they smell different on each person they touch. For this reason, its really hard to recommend anything. But...you say what you like, i say what i like, and maybe its worth a sample!

@IrishHeart Yes and thank you…moved

My favorite is Amouage purpose 50. The dry down got me hooked.
-
@goosehd Just put on some Royal Oud inspired by your post, that is definitely a good one.
Another big favourite for me that I don't think I've seen mentioned here is Ormonde Jayne Montabaco Intensivo.

Got these for Xmas from one of my favorite
Pomade brands and I really like them. These have darker, more exotic scent profiles which is my preference. They have quite a large range though and they lean into their aesthetic with some horror inspired labels (normal scents of course). Worth checking out, especially at these prices…

I did a search and nothing came up so apologies if they have been discussed in this thread... anyone have any experience with Arquiste? I received some samples from them a few weeks back and I liked a lot of the scents so much we are bringing them into the shop in the near future.
My favorites are : Misfit, Indigo Smoke, Architects Club & Anima Dulcis

Been enjoying the Aesop HWYL and wondering if you have tried any of their other scents @meatmarketdenim1 they have a sampler I may pick up which includes HWYL, Tacit and Marrakech Intense

@SKT
Oh nice that’s rad man, haven’t tried any of their other scent's. Will try check out sample near future -
If it’s Aesop, it’s probably understated and awesome. Big big fan of theirs, tho I don’t wear fragrances.

@guiltyparty I see the sampler set on their site is sold out. Any chance that's something they offer for their stockists to sell? I need a new summer scent but the wife is picky. I currently have a stack Creed samples that she's veto'd.
