I'm trying to figure out what happened to Odin. I always wore Odin 07 during the winter months. It's out of stock everywhere and I can't figure out if Odin's perfume line will be continued.
In 10 years, they went from having 3 shops in NYC, to an online-only store, to not even bothering to answer emails.

I'm a Le Labo wearer too but went with the obvious option that everyone else seems to go for: Santal
-
Le Labo has a pop-up shop in the parking lot of Imogene + Willie here in Nashville. It's about 15 mins from me. Might have to go check it out.
My daily go-to's in no particular order are:
Dior Homme Intense
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
Bois 1920 Sushi Imperiale
Maison Margiela By the Fireplace
Thierry Mugler A*Men Pure Maltand, if you want a real bang for your buck, pick up one of those Nemat Amber roll-ons at Ulta if you've got one nearby. They're like $20 and are amazing. Probably the one I'm using the most these days.

Once I went parfum rather than toilet I never went back. Gateway scent was Aesop Marrakech intense

Never went back because of longevity? Sillage? For me it depends on the scent. I would love to own some of the Guerlain pure parfums but some are 350-400$ for a 40ml or so bottle.

Yeah basically, I've not got much knowledge in this area (sillage is a new vocab word for me thanks) but just find that parfums are easier on the nose and last longer

mm. that might be next. but having a 5th bottle is a bit of an overkill. vanille and baie stands out for me the most..

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
One of my favorites ever.
Recently been wearing CDG Avignon- really nothing like it and such a perfect fall/winter scent.
-
Friend of mine suggested trying " Perfumes de Marly" Layton–--it is pretty intense!
Could be one of my favorites. -
It recently occurred to me that I’ve been wearing the same fragrance (Aqua di Gio) year round for over 20 years.
Nothing wrong with that, but I AM getting older, and just as there are clothes I don’t wear in public any longer I’ve decided to mix it up a little, and find something else for this fall/winter.
After some research and testing I’ve decided on Ombré Leather (parfum) from Tom Ford. I actually liked the edp a little better, but my wife finds it too peppery (she dislikes the smell of pepper), and I think I might end op preferring the subtlety of the parfum as well.
Being a stubborn bastard I think I’ll go back to Aqua di Gio come spring.

Fall/Winter:
Tom Ford-Oud Wood
Tom Ford-Tobacco Vanille
Le Labo-Santal 33 (played out)Spring/Summer:
DS & Durga-Debaser
Ralph Lauren-Polo Blue (soft spot, my first cologne)
Tom Ford-Neroli Portofino -
@anodyne If you're in the US, buy it from Costco. https://www.costco.com/.product.100427178.html?langId=-1&krypto=FwKRHJjSMdGOlYtXwHKZb%2Fd8TId54VVMmshQJGXXHyGjy4pUmrZFyTo2twW2hjBCyeOG7sybU3ZDe2rFw6zVesKDbJlZ9t0WiXs5Ruha%2F9q%2B622E%2FTTL3UizWcMWniBNYlN3tZRz8Jb%2BYTzSAEKm3P5cNaxEq1tGAON0L3SJ0aCd9L7j7cHxlhGfUYCCE83C0h8xK85oqL7%2BKrL5RN0n06gMFruWei8zMKx6HRUxwHqIF3xu1jU5fHjbsGD07bvsy71wG7H5sSvx21EfMks1hF%2Frspz%2FnuRYCiUivCRyptUvOT6o0JNzohRs97e%2F8jwP
Sometimes it goes on sale and can get to $250. It's real and I always buy it from there.
edit - it's out of stock, but it'll come back soon. Just keep checking.

This is the next thread I got to after reading about airplane flatuance in Random rants.

Just seeing this thread. I recommend Sfumato, which I've been wearing for a long time. They have a number of good fragrances at a decent price point. I would start with the sampler packs and go from there. They are a small company based in Detroit and have a cocktail / fragrance workshop in the house they work out of. https://sfumatofragrances.com/
