I was at home for the week, so I revisited fragrances that I have been ignoring for a while. I had to do this to stop myself from going on a blind buy spending spree. I did order WuLong Cha. Still waiting on my Clive Christian 1872 from The Parfums.

Very fortunate to secure this received both fragrances yesterday yes Sunday delivery lol and 4 samples of there line quickly sprayed new Eden and I can tell on first sniff. This is definitely for me as for the rest we shall see although I do like the notes of Polaris.

Hey guys, Joe A. here with another one for ya'! Ya' know what? Two years ago, something special started. Not just another fragrance group. Not another place to flex bottles, chase hype, or argue rankings. The #BrotherhoodofScent was built on something different — people first, fragrance second. What began as a gathering of curious hobbyists has grown into the best fragrance community online. A place where beginners feel welcome asking their first questions, collectors share decades of experience without ego, and friendships have formed that go far beyond atomizers and accords. We’ve watched members discover confidence, refine taste, start businesses, travel to events, and genuinely grow, not just as fragrance enthusiasts, but as people. In two short years, the #Brotherhood has become a classroom, a barbershop, a think tank, and sometimes therapy… all rolled into one. We’ve debated notes, survived No-Buy months (or tried to), crowned champions in Wars, enabled each other responsibly… and reminded one another why this hobby is supposed to be fun in the first place! And maybe that’s the real secret. The #Brotherhood isn’t great because of fragrances. It’s great because of you guys. The mentors. The newcomers. The daily posters. The quiet readers learning in the background. Every recommendation, every laugh, every “you gotta try this,” every late-night scent discussion, all of it built what we have today. Two years in… and honestly? We’re just getting warmed up. Here’s to more discovery. More knowledge shared freely. More friendships formed through scent. And continuing to prove that passion, respect, and community still matter online. Happy Birthday, #Brotherhood. Proud to be part of this journey with all of you. Enjoy the #Journey. What say you, guys? How has the Brotherhood changed your fragrance journey over the past two years? What moment or lesson here stands out most to you? Or is ole' Joe A. getting too old and asking if we're slowing down anytime soon? (Yeah… didn’t think so.) Love to hear from ya'!

TBV Ardent, picked this up at Olfactory for $155. Reminds me of ATH Onyx without the explosive projection and sillage.

Sorry @Frank Barnett you cannot answer because you know😆 TIME to start WATCHING the tracking on my new bottle. Knock on WOOD and that arrives safe n sound. I have a feeling that ANGELS will be watching over it. Winner: @Lon Chaneyfield with his guess of Chopard Oud Malaki
