Was looking through collection pics for inspiration, and honestly, it helps a ton—both for smarter purchases and for knowing who to ask when I’m curious about a fragrance. I feel like collection posts are one of the best resources we have here (and decants are always welcome too—best way to build fragrance knowledge without going all-in). If you’re up for it, I’d love to see some updated collection pics in this thread—kind of like what @George Hernandez has done in the past and @Michael Marchand has just done recently It’s a great way for newer/rising brothers (and those of us who haven’t connected much yet) to get a better sense of everyone’s taste and what knowledge you bring to the table. A picture really does say a thousand words, and it makes the interactions in the brotherhood feel more personal and connected. If you haven’t posted a collection pic in a while and feel like sharing, I’d especially enjoy seeing yours: @Elliott Jones , @Srinesh C m , @Bryan Wong , @Adeel Arif , @Ferdinand De Dobbelaere , @Calvin Ng , @Craig Stevenson , @Mike Jermann , @Roland Wright , @Tim Nicklis , (No pressure at all—only if you feel like it.) I’ll add more names as I keep browsing, but mainly wanted to start a spot where we can all share collections for inspiration and better convo. Appreciate you all.

Just posting a quick collection photo as I can't remember the last time I diid. Takes three shots. I think I added a third shelf since the last one

From Mancera's Gold Label collection, this one took me by surprise, I was expecting this too be a dark, smokey cathedral scent. But this has more of lush Amber/floral vibe. Another Pierre Montale release, this one was 2018. The fragrance is an intricate push and pull between bright citrus, dark resins, and creamy florals. Up top there is Frankincense, giving a resinous, waxy opening rather than the usual smoke. The combo of Mandarin Orange & Pink Pepper, add a sharp, effervescent sparkle. And finally Coffee, A subtle, roasted undertone that adds weight without smelling like a latte. At its heart Violet & Jasmine combine to create an opulent, sun-drenched floral heart. Paired against another tag team of Rose & Patchouli Leaf for that classic oriental element with a slightly earthy backbone.Finally the base, Vanilla Pod & Sumatra Benzoin, creates a warm, balsamic sweetness that lingers for hours. Followed by a White Musk that smoothes out the edges for a clean, velvety finish. Like most Mancera, you will be enjoying this for 8+ hrs with a strong projection that leaves a significant scent trail. It iaint no skin scent; it demands attention. It excels in colder weather. Because of its richness, it is a perfect evening or special occasion fragrance. A golden aura, not a smoke cloud. If you are looking for a dry, church-like incense, similar to Comme des Garçons Avignon, this is not it. It feels "thick" and expensive, blending the airiness of violet with the density of benzoin and vanilla. My Rating: 8.5/10 Scent: 2.5 Longevity: 2.5 Sillage: 2.5 Y/N: 1

Tom Ford Oud Minérale is a unisex woody marine fragrance that merges rich, smoky oud with refreshing, salty, and mineral oceanic notes. it features key notes of sea salt, seaweed, balsam fir, and ambergris, offering a unique,,,bold, and long-lasting scent often described as a "summer fragrance with gravitas".

Haltane is my winter favorite from the house and Perseus is definitely my top summer pick. Amazing scent; excellent performance. 75ml full presentation for $129 (normally $260-$290): https://www.olfactoryfactoryllc.com/products/parfums-de-marly-perseus?_pos=1&_psq=pers&_ss=e&_v=1.0
