What are the best fragrances for college?
Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I would like to know what you consider to be the best day fragrances to use in university. Since it is not a place where fragrances are commonly worn, I would like to hear your opinion on which scents work best without being "too much".

Maybe...Versace Man Eau Fraiche and or Dylan Blue...Channel Platinum Egoiste might work too. They are moderate price range (maybe $60-$80 depending upon where). Freshies and Blues usually work in a crowd of university students and professors. I have also found some "clone frags" at Burlington Coat Factory for low price. They go by the brand called: DECLASSIFIED. They may not have much silage but, still, on your skin, while in your study carrel, it can be pleasant --or for that someone that might lean in close to you asking the meaning of relativity. 😎 One DECLASSIFIED frag I picked up was a clone of Baccart's Rouge 540. DECLASSIFIED's name for it is: Crystal Rouge. It's sort of cross between a freshie and oud. --Some have referred to it as smelling like an antibiotic. Not sure what that means but I can sort of understand that it could mean it goes on clean smelling like rubbing alcohol and then has a nice scent of rosewood and water --sort of. It's light though so if you are worried about standing apart from others then it will not give you away. Unless, of course, someone leans in and finds you out to be smelling real fine, and classy cool... Best of luck to you in your search and your studies!
Adverse effects of sampling
I haven't been able to apply a fragrance in the last four days. Ive noticed i havent been stopped up in that time. When I go to Dillards or Neiman Marcus and sample alot of fragrances by the end of the day im so stopped up I cant breathe through my nose until I use a nasal decongestant. When I just grab a fragrance and apply it I dont have any problem breathing but if i sample several in a short period of time i have the issue. Does anyone else have this problem and do you think its just a reaction to certain notes or the amount of aroma chemicals I'm inhaling?

David, that used to happen to me too. I found when I was going too fast and furious to find that elusive scent, the scents found me --clogged and confused. I've slowed down these days. I try maybe two and that's it. After all, I only have two arms to apply a sample to sniff if it's going to work with me. I can always go back another day or weekend to try another 2 if the 2 I tried last time didn't make the score. I take my time now. Sometimes the package is attractive. But, like people, what's inside that package might not be right for me -regardless of the surface beauty! When I'm enticed by so many attractive packages, rather than try them all, I do a search for the notes inside before I apply. If those particular notes are interesting and or they are notes that I like, then I take a chance to consummate the relationship! Save your nose and, like the song goes: "Slow down...ya move too fast...ya got to make the morning last!..." Cheers!
How Do You Decide?
This may be more of an existential question than a practical one, but I'm at the beginning of my fragrance journey. Given the vast possibilities and the financial investment involved, how do you decide what fragrance you will purchase next?

Existentially speaking, I generally decide by what stirs something in me that is pleasant, memorable, and or a fragrance that holds an air of handsomeness and confidence. Price is another factor. If I can afford it, then it gets to sit on my shelf. If I have to figure out whether I make a car payment over getting a fragrance, even if it stirs my fancy, it stays on their shelf, counter, or site. Existentially, my decision to move out in the direction of what fragrance to try "next" is an open door. That is, it happens in life and living in a world of advertisement; Antonio C's suggestions; Brothers of Scent suggestions and super finds; a chance whiff of someone else wearing a fragrance unknown to me and interesting; walking by a cool or unusual perfumery and sampling fragrances that interest me; or just living, breathing, and being curious in the world of scents --existentially speaking that is! 😎 Best of luck to you on this awesome journey of scents and sensibility!...
Thoughts on the New 10% tariff on EU products?
Since the declaration of the newly sanctioned tariffs on EU, what are y'all thoughts about it effecting the US Perfume Market? I think rises to 25% this June. I feel like if this continues we might see a 10-25 dollar price hike at all our favorite discounters as well. Just a random thought I got this morning haha, ngl that would suck tho 🥲

@Alve Rahman Hmmm? Have you and Paul B. picked out your fragrance to wear once that Big, Beautiful, Ball room is built? Looks like you'll get front seat tickets! Keep us posted!

@Paul Bartnicki Ah! Yes, you must have front seat tickets to that Big, Beautiful, Ball room that's to be built. Be sure to let us know what fragrance you'll wear to that grand and dubious event!
Argos Charon's Veil
Seems like several of us are making these posts lately. About to go to the funeral home for my dad's viewing. Thought this one fit the bill. A rose oid with that Argos signature dna. Very refined to my nose and not at all animalic. More rose than oud off my skin. Longevity is eeally good projection maybe two hours. One of my favorites from the house but dont usually dress up enough to wear it.

Sorry for your loss David. This frag sounds/looks like the perfect match for saying goodbye and hello to the new place where you will stand. My best to you!
