Hey good people, so Fragrancebuy is doing their annual Easter Egg Hunt BOGO fragrance sale. Here’s the answer: SPR!NG$SC3NT$HUNT26*FB You must add each character and it will give you the BOGO code (EGGCITED26)

Let’s see what all the fuss you guys are making is all about. I just received my discovery set from the Hellenist fragrance. Which one should I I start with?🤔 which one do you all recommend?

I recently got my hands on samples of the three new Amouage Essences (Line 618, Sequence, and Remain), but it was Line 618 that immediately jumped out as my type of scent, especially as we go into warmer AZ weather. I wore it once to test and knew I had to have a bottle. Not available on discounters yet, but thankfully I was able to find a catch & release from someone to save a little coin. So how does it smell? It opens with a really nice mix of fruity brightness (pineapple/peach/plum) layered over soft incense before settling into a creamy, slightly milky heart with coconut and woods. It then dries down into smooth sandalwood, light leather, and a gentle smoky warmth. While it does have that signature Amouage depth, it’s in a much more wearable, easy-reach style that is going to work surprisingly well in the heat. Performance wise it sits in a really nice spot, about 6–8 hours for me, with a solid push early before it settles into a smooth, personal scent bubble. Not loud, but definitely noticeable. Honestly though, it’s the way it wafts that gets me… I keep catching it throughout the wear and can’t stop smelling myself. I can see where traditional Amouage fans might say it strays a bit from the house’s heavier DNA, but it still feels unique and well-crafted, and I’m all in on it. I love this. Within this release of the Essences collection from Amouage, each scent represents a point in time. Remain as a dot (past), Sequence as a circle (cycle/continuity), and Line 618 as the line (present, movement, progression). That “in motion” concept for Line 618 really comes through here with how it balances freshness and depth. These were Dubai airport exclusives before recently launching in the US which is why they haven’t hit discounters yet. Please, if this scent profile interests you, find a place to sample it. You can 100% smell its depth and complexity, but to me comes across so smooth and can be worn around folks not as into fragrance as we are and still be appealing. I wouldn’t say blind buy worthy at this price point, but if that’s your thing I support it.

Yesterday was the day I finally "Had Enough"!! 😎. I realized that I haven't been giving my full bottles enough love, as I have SO many samples that I have been trying to get to. The more I try the more that shows up!! Especially if I god forbid, buy a full bottle of something at least 10 more samples show up! A great problem to have I know. But the lack of organization gives me a bit of anxiety. Yesterday I put all of my samples into ziplock baggies to be sorted through and categorized at a later time. This allowed me to go back to my closet and "nerd Out" on what I currently have and How to best use them. A month ago or so, my wife and I took our collections down to the basement (finished) so that we can figure out a better way to display them. Since our collection (we both are collectors) has gotten too big to display in the main area of the house without changing a lot of things, so we agreed to do something downstairs. I proceeded to make 10ml decants of each full bottle of mine and had these 3d printed holders made on Etsy. They have worked out great. They now sit in my closet for an easy opportunity to grab and enjoy them. That however, didn't sit well with my OCD, so I decided to label each holder. - Spring/Fall - Fall/Winter - Spring/Summer - All Seasons This way I can rotate based on season and keep the ones that are appropriate in good view. This also helped me realize that I am much heavier in Fall/Winter scents than other seasons so it will give me a great place to adjust my sample testing in the future and help me focus on Full Bottle conversions that will better round out my collection. I will start going through my samples and put them all into large Ziplock Bags labeled the same way so that I can work samples into the proper rotation. Sorry if this is a bit too much for the group, but I am interested if others have some type of "Plan" when it comes to organization and sample testing. Have a great Monday Everyone!!

Looking forward to this release, this is constructed diffrent than any fragrance he has done before. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SlycjnIsrnM
