This question is for anybody but primarily aimed at the older guys who've been out of high school for a while. For me it was Eternity and Escape both by Calvin Klein. What about you?

Hey good people, going to spend time with my dad in South Florida. Flying tomorrow from Quebec to Miami. I decided to bring a few decants with me and two 30ml bottles. Decants: -Torino 21 and 22 -Limonata -Castley -Gris Charnel -30ml bottle of LV Imagination. -30ml bottle of City Rhythm Miami I’m planning on wearing Castley during the flight. Let me know if I should wear something different!

Pool side or beach side cabana, tropical drink in hand..... I am vacation ready!

Today I went to a funeral. Sad but somewhat unavoidable aren't they? I made sure to dress very stylishly, without overdoing it, and chose my old favourite Paco Rabanne Invictus; it was the first fragrance my wife bought me, over 10 years ago and she still loves it. After all of the sad formalities, everyone moved outside and stood around for an hour talking and remembering. When it was time to leave, I started walking around wishing everyone well, giving loads of hugs. I had 3 people mention that my cologne smelt really nice. It had been a long day, and those small discrete comments energised me incredibly. The power of the scent brothers. It lifts you up 💪 👊 Hug your family and hold them close.

@Dave Kwok asked me a very Interesting question today. “if you were to start your collection again and learn the ropes, what range of fragrances would you start with and how would you go about picking your favourite of the day?” I was about to answer and I stopped. Which as most of you know, I have zero brain filter. Shocker to you all I know. I thought this is really a great thought experiment. All day I have been thinking about this. I am trying to put myself in my 18 yr old brain in 1986. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I knew I loved Zion, and Polo and Drakar. But that was it. I didn’t know why or what drew me to them. I just liked em. Then my world turned upside down and I was stationed in Germany for the first time. I was exposed to a tremendous amount of countries and cultures and fragrances. Most importantly, I was willing and ecstatic to do so. I dove headfirst into learning new languages and foods. Me, the guy that couldn’t learn to say hello in Spanish after four years of it in high school! I went to Paris and visited famed frag houses. Italy. Oman. Dubai. Everywhere I could to grow and experience things I never thought I’d see. Some I loved some I couldn’t explain. All were alien to me. Evan the worst things that happened to me taught me something. I grew up. I was never the same person again. So. All that being said, what’s the best advice I can give to you Dave? Be open to try lear. and fail. As you grow in parfum experiences, so will your nose and palette. Be excepting in the face that sometimes we all don’t know what we don’t know. Time takes time. I guarantee that there are some frags in my collection now I would not have liked back then. Hell, I’m not sure I would have liked myself back then. The only constant I have is I will always hate the frag Kouruos!!! Blah. As I have said here a bunch. 😂
