Hey Guys, Joe A. here with another one for ya’! Big news for the #Brotherhood, and honestly, something I’m pretty excited (and honored) to be a part! @Antonio O. Centeno @Antonio Centeno is hosting our first-ever guest conversation, and we’re kicking things off with someone many of you already know and watch: Michella, a.k.a. Curly Fragrance. Yep, THAT Curly Fragrance. One of the most influential voices in the game, a woman who’s helped bring an entire generation of guys into this hobby with energy, humor and a nose that keeps us all on our toes. I imagine this won't be be a basic Q&A or surface-level chit-chat. I hope we dive into things like how her nose has evolved, how she stays authentic through hype cycles, her thoughts on gendered fragrance language, and the real behind-the-scenes experience of being a creator in a space that’s growing fast and shifting even faster! This is a big moment for the #Brotherhood. To have someone of her reach and caliber take time to talk with us says a lot about the energy we’ve built here: the discussions, the respect, the curiosity, the humor, all of it! And I believe every one here is a part of this step forward! What say you, guys? What questions would you want asked and answered? Whether it’s about note development, content creation, the business side, or the psychology of scent, let’s make this a conversation that represents all of us (and quite frankly, worth her time, right?) Love to hear from ya’!

Special shout-out to Antonio and Michella for the great conversation. Lots of great questions with responses that reflected truth, transparency, and honesty. This conversation alone was worth the premium upgrade. Just ordered my bottle of Himeros and Infinity. Looking forward to adding these to my ever-growing collection of Middle Eastern fragrances.

...and what can I say but WOW!! A great conversation with Michella and some great insights to not only fragrance reviewing, but some of the business aspects too! Thanks again @Antonio Centeno for hosting and I'm definitely looking forward to more!!!

A few of us have mentioned wanting a safe and organized way to trade fragrances here instead of taking it to Facebook or random DMs. To keep things clean and fair for everyone, here’s a simple structure we can start using. Would you guys be ok with making a framework of how it would work? These are not strict laws just a clear guide to help the community trade smoothly and avoid confusion or problems. Here is my suggestion. 1. Post What You Have: Include the fragrance name, size, condition, and a proof photo with your name and today’s date. 2. State What You Want: List the fragrances you’re looking for or the type of trade you’re open to. 3. Discuss in the Comments: Answer questions clearly and negotiate respectfully. 4. Confirm the Trade: Both sides must agree on the bottle, condition, shipping method, and payment terms. Use PayPal Goods & Services for any money exchanges. 5. Ship With Tracking: Pack securely, ship with tracking, and share the tracking number once sent. 6. Close the Thread After both packages arrive, each person comments: “Trade completed with @username.” What do you guys think?
