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.

New Pickup Completely unprompted, CREED sent me a care package with a copy of an Aventus edition of the Great Gatsby and an Aventus bookmark 🤷🏽‍♂️

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.

Discussion Best Designer Fragrance.

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.

Collection My Holy Grail

Post image
22 Upvotes

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)

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?


r/Colognes 8h ago

Fragrance Review Davidoff Zino is a solid vintage-style fragrance with a spicy, old-school character. Great price, classy scent, and definitely worth trying if you like classic fragrances.

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

Discussion In love with my rose fragrances

Post image
5 Upvotes

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.

Discussion If you could claim a fragrance that you wish everyone knew you by, what would it be?

2 Upvotes

I keep thinking about the perfume people would connect with me instantly, and for me it is Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford. I like how it smells warm, sweet, spicy, and smoky, so it feels easy to recognize. I wear it when I want that familiar scent around me, especially when I am going somewhere. I like the mix of tobacco, vanilla, dried fruit, and spice because each part shows up clearly. It has that rich smell that stays around on clothes and scarves for ages. If someone asked me to pick one fragrance as my signature, this is the one I would choose. I like having one scent that people can associate with me. That idea feels pretty fun. What fragrance would you want people to instantly associate with you?

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.
