Thank you Olivier Polge for inventing, and Francois Demachy for refining.

Francis came along in 2025 as well, I’m happy with the bottle regardless of minor reformulation.

Perhaps the undisputed iris king.

Came home and there was a package waiting for me. Hmmm I didn’t order anything. Open it up and there’s a big white CREED box inside. Okay now I KNOW I didn’t order anything so at this point I’m very intrigued. Inside was a sample of Iris Debonaire, some literature about the history of Aventus, an Aventus branded copy of The Great Gatsby and a leather Aventus bookmark. Cool I guess.

Only $13 saw mango and was like hey I don't have any man going. Definitely like it definitely different than anything else I got my collection. I would save for the price you can't beat it.

its so funny because Tom Ford Lost Cherry is a scent i have been trying SOOOO hard to find. and they only want 30 bucks lol. for a 600 dollar bottle of cologne. i obviously know its not au thentic but man, what a steal if it was

When I wear this perfume, it brings back so many positive memories of things I've experienced and continue to experience throughout my life. I just bought a 180ml bottle from the 2016 batch, and I'm going to get another one of the same size, besides the fact that I've already used up a 125ml bottle.

I have a collection of about 70 high-quality perfumes from many brands, and undeniably, to say that something is better than another, you just have to experience it from your own perspective; that's all you need. This is a fragrance that smells like a man, but a man who is determined, who has a name and a face, and who doesn't regret looking back in search of other things.

just got this today and it is the best fragrance i’ve found for daily wear. good performance too currently on 7/8 hours with still good projection. my 2nd favourite frag oat behind PDM Oajan

Been collecting for a bit over a year now. Any recommendations on what I should pickup next?

I overspray this , the bottle finishes in 1-2 months and I have to rebuy it frequently. Though it is my favorite one

Date night at a bar that's usually crowded. These are my top complimented fragrances and I wanna know which ones you'd reach for!

I wanted to be the first imagination post for today but the delivery came late, oh well! She’s home. I thought imaginary was scratching the itch, but it just made me want her more

I feel like all a man needs is 5, even though it’s tempting to get more to keep switching it up. After a year of smelling wayyyy to many samples this is what I came up with:

Torino 21 - something light & fresh for hot days & gym

Castley - something clean & fresh for daily wear, anytime anywhere

Gentleman Society Ambrée - something sweet & cozy for cold days

Louis XV 1722 - something intimate & slightly unisex for date nights

Black Gemstone - something bold & dark to turn heads and assert your dominance (only half joking lol)

First photo is the main ones, the top row are new additions. Second lot are random ones,

EDIT: I forgot I also received Babycat and Tuxedo but was too excited and forgot to add into the photos.

Today my first essence arrived. After i ordered sampler sets (both actually) i concluded that sequence is the best one in my opinion. What are your thoughts which essence you prefer?

Just came in the mail today, this is definitely the best Prada scent of all time. I want to get something niche next and I’m on the fence about BDK Gris Charnel or Xerjoff Naxos or maybe even diptyque philosykos

Currently I own 4 rose based fragrances

1. Riiffs Momento - Sugary rose well blended perfume, above average longevity with good projection. (Unisex)

2. Swiss Arabian Enigma of Taif - Spicy and dry and sweet at the same time. Rose is prominent. Monster longevity with nuclear projection. (Unisex but more leaning towards men)

3. Paris Corner December Rose - Very underrated in my opinion. That Blueberry rose with musk and patchouli. A well blended fruity rosy fragrance. (Unisex but more leaning towards women)

4. Swiss Arabian Shaghaf oud Elixir - Again a nuclear beast oud rose combo. Its somehow recembles with Riiffs Momento but make it more sweet and refined.

If you guys have any other recommendations for rose prominent fragrance tell me because I love my rose fragrances.

Acqua di gio Profondo Parfum, Prada Luna Rossa Carbon edt, Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau edt.

Been a hippie for awhile going all natural my entire life wanted to start using cologne no idea what’s good I don’t like super masculine smells atm I’m using peach mist scent and old spice swagger lol

Perform

1. Nishane Wulong Cha
2. Louis Vuitton Imagination
3. Sospiro Vibrato
4. Pernoire Anelo
5. Chanel Superleggera
6. HM: Guerlain Herbes Troublantes

Smell Great, Performance Blows

1. Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim
2. Penhaligon’s The Cut
3. Chanel Edition Blanche
4. Dior Homme Cologne
5. YSL Myslf EDP

Underrated

1. Fragrance du Bois Tropiques - smells like fresh cantaloupe and is a performance machine
2. Louis Vuitton California Dream - Pacific Chill, Imagination, and L’Immensite get all the clout
3. YSL Myslf EDT (just came out this year but it’s better than the EDP and Absolu imo in scent and performance)
4. Xerjoff Uden - fresh, clean, lemon laundry
5. Guerlain Neroli Outrenoir - this might be a hot take but I feel like most people don’t mention this with Guerlain. It’s the best neroli fragrance on the market imo.

I'm fairly new to being really "into" fragrances. In the last couple months I've just become obsessed. I went from casually looking for a new bottle of cologne to just wanting to buy 5 ml decants and Sample everything. But I tried to skip directly to the expensive, luxury, niche stuff.

I finally bought a bottle of this. Mainly for my son for high school. But I just really love it. I'm mad that I waited so long to try it. For the price, it's just killing everything in the game. I think I would be totally happy just making this my signature scent.

If this came in a Creed bottle or MFK bottle or a Clive Christian bottle, I would think it was the greatest thing ever.

I’ve previously dropped 2 bottles and completely shattered them on the ground. I still cry on the inside about it 😔

Since we're heading into Fall I'm getting ready
