Brothers, here are a few standout posts from the BOS community this week. 1. @Tim Nicklis — Least Favorite Fragrance in Your Collection 😬💨 Tim asked the question nobody wants to answer but everyone has an opinion on: what's your LEAST favorite scent? The thread exploded with blind-buy regrets, "loved it in the store, hated it at home" stories, and honest takes on what sits collecting dust. A must-read for anyone building a collection — learn from the community's misses: https://www.skool.com/bos/least-favorite-fragrance-in-your-collection 2. @Michael LoCascio Sr — The Hawas Rat Race Is Getting Insane 🏁 Michael's been collecting Rasasi Hawas flankers from the beginning — he's got 7 on the shelf — but the release pace is getting wild. The thread turned into a great debate about which flankers are actually worth it. If you're feeling the flanker fatigue, you're not alone: https://www.skool.com/bos/the-hawas-rat-race-is-getting-insane 3. @Lon Chaneyfield — Growth Within the Fragrance World 🌱 Lon dropped some real wisdom: too many collectors stay in the same lane, buying the same profiles, chasing the same trends. Growth means exploring. The thread sparked thoughtful discussion about evolving taste and stepping outside comfort zones.

Exploring the House of Zaharoff 🧳 Nick went deep on Zaharoff and shared his haul with the community. Brand discovery posts like this are how we all find our next signature scent.

Gents, just heard from Marcelo and wanted to pass this along right away. He's giving everyone a 10% OFF a full bottle from Olfactive Traveller (https://www.olfactivetraveller.com) — limited time only. Here's how to grab it: 👉 DM him on their Instagram page (@olfactivetraveller) and he'll send you a unique code. A couple quick notes: - The only thing excluded is the OT Traveller — everything else is on the table. - And if tariffs were on your mind, no worries — Marcelo handles that on his end, so the extra cost comes out to around $30. Super straightforward. It was a great call, and this is a solid bonus. Hope you grab it! 👊

Brothers, here are a few standout posts from the BOS community this week. 1. @Lon Chaneyfield Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/my-scent-journey-always-moving-up-to-the-real-thing Big shoutout to Lon for sharing his scent journey and connecting fragrance to a bigger life pattern — wanting the real thing, appreciating quality, and understanding the difference between copying the look and owning the experience. That is exactly the kind of deeper fragrance conversation that makes BOS valuable. 2. @Renato Carotti Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/the-hunt-for-dead-stock-tober-chasing-discontinued-fragrances-without-losing-your-nose-or-your-wallet Shoutout to Renato for bringing a useful and grounded take on discontinued fragrances. Instead of just hyping rarity, he reminded everyone to understand what scent profiles they actually love before chasing bottles. Practical, thoughtful, and helpful. 3. @Eduardo Figueroa Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/sad-challenging-times-ahead-prada-lhomme Big shoutout to Eduardo for trusting the community with something deeply personal. His post reminded everyone that BOS is not only about fragrance — it is also about the men behind the bottles, and the support this group can offer during hard seasons. 4. @Stephen DeMent Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/should-we-continue-using-the-word-oriental-in-perfumery Shoutout to Stephen for starting a thoughtful discussion around language, history, and perfumery. He brought personal background and context to the topic, which helped elevate the conversation beyond simple opinion.

Gents, this one's for the fragrance lovers (and anyone who wants to start smelling like a man with taste). We've got Marcelo — The Niche Fragrance Collector — joining us for our May 28th LIVE call! This Aussie has built a serious following exploring niche perfumery from across the world, meeting the perfumers behind the craft, and championing the underappreciated art of "smelling." He doesn't just chase the next bottle to buy — he digs into the artistry, the notes, and the creativity behind every great scent. Whether you're new to fragrance or you've already got a shelf full of bottles, this is going to be a fun, eye-opening conversation packed with value. Come learn how to think about scent the way a real collector does! 📅 The Details - When: Thursday, May 28th - Time: 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM Central US - Meeting Link: https://www.skool.com/bos/calendar?eid=df6c2bf442184b7db835487a5e2697c6 Drop your fragrance questions in the comments below — favorite notes, what you're looking to find next, or anything you've always wanted to ask a true collector. I want to make sure we cover what matters most to YOU. Let's pack this call and show Marcelo what this community is all about. See you! 🚀✨
