Today i am wearing this scent with sharp plump and boozy opening and settle down to a warm spicy and Amber. Good for evening and party wears.

What are your guys opinion on the site Olfactoryfactory. I have ordered a couple PDM and my Eight and Bobs and my Amouage from there in the past with no issue. But I see more and more people questioning the prices that they offer online and in different groups. I just always assumed it was wholesale prices. It’s usually where I go to get my Niche fragrances. Just wondering anyone else’s experience with the site good or bad?

It finally happened—I fell for a counterfeit. I picked up what was supposed to be a partial of Amouage Jubilation 40 on Mercari for $200, but the red flags were everywhere once it arrived: • The Cap: The edges were too rounded, and the signature jewel looked undersized. • The Magnet: Extremely weak. If you know Amouage, you know that magnetic "snap" is usually unmistakable. • The Scent: Not even close. I’ve tested the real Jubilation 40 numerous times, but a side-by-side comparison with a tester at Neiman Marcus confirmed it—it’s a total fake. Thankfully, Mercari has a return window, so I’m working on a refund. Let this be a reminder: even with "partials," if the deal feels too good to be true, double-check every detail. Stay vigilant out there!

I’m wearing Thriller for the 2nd time after letting it mature for about a month. I’ll let the brothers know if my initial thoughts change.

Hey guys, Joe A. here with another one for ya’! An old cowboy saying goes..."Well, I’m from Texas, and what you think is "big" and what I think is "BIG" are two totally different "big-s"😆 So, what’s “big” depends on who you’re talking to, right? Big truck, big meal, big personality... it’s all perspective. And honestly, the same applies in the fragrance world too, especially when we start talking about price!! One guy’s “cheapie” is another guy’s “I need to think about that for a minute” bottle! And that’s what makes the term "cheapie" so dang interesting. For some folks, it means anything under $25. For others, it might be under $50, under $100 or just anything priced well below niche territory. But somewhere along the way, the word picked up a little stigma, like a "cheapie" is supposed to be “less than”... Now hombres, I don’t know about all that... We’ve all come across inexpensive frags that smell great, perform just fine and punch way above their price point. And let’s be honest, we’ve also smelled some pricey bottles that left us feeling like we're trying to rope a tumbleweed... To me, the real question is whether a "cheapie" is defined by cost alone, or by the balance of cost and quality. Because there’s a big ol' difference between something being cheap and something being a great value. If a fragrance smells good, wears well and keeps finding its way into your rotation, then that bottle has earned some respect no matter what it cost. Perspective matters here too, because every rustler’s budget is different. One man’s easy pickup is another man’s splurge, and neither one is wrong in this grand ole #Journey of ours... What say you, cowboys? What do you consider a "cheapie" (give some examples too!!)? Is it strictly about price, or do quality and performance have to be part of the equation too? And let's be honest now... do any of you have a Texas-sized wallet where your “cheapie” range is bigger than the rest of ours (no...not Joe A. here...)? Love to hear from ya’!
