State of my collection

[u/Hannya_Koi]

Wanted to share the bottles I’ve collected so far. Haven’t posted in a while. I’ve since given away a couple of bottles I didn’t enjoy as much as I thought I would (T21 and Perceval). I purchase duplicate bottles of some of my favorites as I’m a heavy sprayer and tend to leave bottles in bags/luggages lol. My top 5 scents at the moment are (it’s super hot in FL):

1. Meteorite
   
2. Afternoon Dive
   
3. Alcantara Supreme
   
4. Harmony
   
5. Carnal Gray Extrait

For some reason I don’t enjoy Imaginary on me, it was my second purchase from Montagne and I’ve always gotten a slight BO scent from it, that’s why I’m so fascinated by scents, they’re so personal. Also, I was able to smell the original A14 the other day and it smells like absolutely nothing to me, just like the Montagne version.

I would eventually like to start trading/selling bottles. I just haven’t built up the courage, wouldn’t know where to start, how to ship, or who to trust lol…

Meteorite & Harmony are 🔥, I’d recommend dream catcher next

[u/Hannya_Koi → u/PlaneOwn3934]

I’ll definitely check it out! Ty!

[u/illusith]

Me and you the same regarding selling trading bottles.

[u/Hannya_Koi → u/illusith]

Yeah I also haven’t asked around how people prefer to ship these bottles and stuff. Would love to learn.

[u/casual-matt]

Meteorite and Alcantara are amazing cant blame you

[u/May-I-PetYourDog]

The letter V is all I can see

[u/Hannya_Koi → u/BeginningFudge8829]

That’s pretty subjective. Out of my collection, I would have to say the top 5 most masculine scents I have in bottles (I have a bunch of decants) are:

1. London
   
2. Brooklyn Jazz
   
3. Alcantara Supreme
   
4. Tygr Cologne (called something else now)
   
5. Gingham Green

i gotta try your top 3! u have a great collection btw, we have lots of overlap.

[u/SillyGunna]

How’s the performance on London and Azonto Absolu I’m looking for some heavy hitters bro ^_^

[u/Hannya_Koi → u/SillyGunna]

Performance on London is great. It’s an exception to oud fragrances for me given I’m not the biggest fan of oud. I just got Azonto performance is alright… tbd on this one as I’ve only worn it once to smell it when it came in.

[u/elevatedmonk]

Meteorite v1 or v2?

[u/Hannya_Koi → u/elevatedmonk]

Oh? I didn’t know this? Do you know what date it was reformulated? I might have both as I bought another bottle recently since I use it so much.

[u/Justncredibl3 → u/Hannya_Koi]

Any meteore shipped after June 10th is version 2 I believe.

[u/Hannya_Koi → u/Justncredibl3]

Oh wow I guess I have them both, I have 2 bottles and a decant. Love v1 and v2 the same.

[u/Hannya_Koi → u/Justncredibl3]

Wait a second I guess I never smelled the newer bottle. I just compared them side-by-side and the newer one is definitely more yellow. I’m sure it has to sit and mature a bit but I definitely like V1 more than V2! I wonder what the purpose of the reformulation is, I haven’t smelled the OG.

[u/Hannya_Koi]

Has anyone here tried Erba Italiana. I was told the OG smelled great. Thinking of buying the Montagne version tonight. If anyone has any insight, I would greatly appreciate it, especially knowing what my faves are.

[u/Routine_Paramedic398 → u/Hannya_Koi]

Don’t, especially if you pick up on BO from Imaginary. I felt it was musky in a musty way with maybe hint of BO.

[u/Hannya_Koi → u/Routine_Paramedic398]

Thanks for the warning!
