I’m curious if anyone has ever gone to Scentxplore just for fun i.e. not as an industry insider or as press. I see they have general admission tickets that start a few hours into the day but I’m wondering if that means it’s insanely crowded and anything for sale has already run out by the time you enter https://scentxplore.com

I was just wondering if how often if any, do you guys have a fragrance free day? I find myself everyday choosing a scent. I never think of going with zero sprays or no scent on at all at this point.

Coach’s 2026 release, Pure Platinum Parfum, opens with aromatic lavender, moves into a warm rum heart and settles into cedarwood. A fresh start with a warmer, woody finish. 💰 Coach Blue is on a great sale at Maxaroma: 48% OFF, now $49 for 100 ml EDT. https://get.aspr.app/SH1mjQ I’d love your feedback on this infographic, gents. Do the notes, intensity ratings and seasons match your experience? Is there anything you’d change?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a scent designed for dates, formal dinners, and special occasions that projects pure authority and unapologetic status. To be clear: I am not looking for clubbing scents, mass-appealing "compliment pullers," or sweet vanilla/tonka bombs (e.g., JPG Le Male Elixir, SWY). I don't care about smelling "delicious" or approachable. I want a scent that creates psychological distance—something cold, aristocratic, and subtly arrogant (think young Bruce Wayne / corporate heir vibe). Dark woods, clean or dry leather, boozy oak barrels, or tailored iris. No sugary gourmands, and nothing overly mineral/earthy/sharp like Terre d'Hermès (can't stand that flint/bitter profile). Gotta be around 100€.

Im considering dipping my toes in. Nothing fancy at first, but im thinking about getting some ISO E super, Ambrofix, and alcohol and making my own versions of Molecule 01 + 02 as a starting place. Any advice, cautions, or tips from the group? Id love to learn from your mistakes, before I invent my own new ones🤣 Just hearing your tales of homebrew perfumes would be interesting to me. (I imagine theres some hilarious failure stories out there)
