Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense
Warm spicy, bit sweet, lavendery, herbacious, aromatic opening Semi-gourmand-Lavender-Mild Vanilla blend Mature, unisex, easy to wear.. Good projection and sillage Great for the office and best for evening wear and date nights Best for Fall and Winter Creamy, woody, earthy (myrrh), vanillic, bit incency, nutty (almond), ambery on dry down Good longevity Prominent for 2-3 hours and stays as skin scent for 2-3 more hours Good overall performance I would recommend Jo Malone M&T ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Creamy-Enveloping-Sultry Feels like wearing a velvet coat or a cashmere blanket.. luxurious yet grounded.. can become addictive..

The one holdover fragrance from my previous collection is Jo Malone's Myrrh and Tonka Intense. A very resinous and cozy fragrance, ideal for the winter.
How do you pick your Scent of the Day... (re-up'd)
Hey guys, Joe A. here with another one for ya’. Let’s talk about one of the great daily decisions in this hobby: the Scent of the Day. Sounds simple enough
 until your collection starts creeping past a handful of bottles and suddenly you’re standing there in the morning staring at the shelf like you’re trying to solve a math problem before coffee. Ya' know, some guys keep it simple. They’ve got a tight little rotation, maybe five or six bottles, and they just cycle through them like clockwork. Others organize the whole thing by season or weather. When it’s blazing hot outside, the fresh citrus and aquatics come out. When winter rolls in, the woods, spices and ambers get their turn. Makes perfect sense. Now for the guys with hundreds of bottles
 well, that’s where it gets interesting. I’ve seen some folks who actually plan their SOTDs a week in advance. They’ll look at the calendar and think about everything coming up: work meetings, date nights, gym days, weekend errands, even the weather forecast. Monday might be a clean office scent, Wednesday a confidence booster for a big meeting, Friday something fun for heading out after work. It’s almost like setting your wardrobe for the week, except the outfit is invisible. And then
 there’s the chaos method. You walk up to the shelf, close your eyes and go “eeny, meeny, miny, moe.” Whatever the finger lands on gets the spray that day. No strategy, no forecasting, just fate and atomizer! Truth be told, I’ve probably done all of the above at one time or another. That’s the beauty of this hobby, there’s no wrong way to do it. What say you, guys? How do you choose your SOTD? Are you a planner, a seasonal organizer, a rotation guy, or a “grab whatever looks good today” kind of fraghead? And be honest
 has anyone here ever stood in front of their collection for ten minutes trying to decide? Love to hear from ya’!

I sort my fragrances by seasons (January-March; April-June; July-September; October-December). I have 40 fragrances, so I have a fragrance generally for each day (7) and an eighth fragrance for a "flex" day, in case I want to account for the weather or attire.
Layering Combos You Swear By
I have been exploring layering recently and was curious if you have any 2-3 fragrance combos that you love. I tried LV Imagination with Tom Ford's Ombre Leather the other night (per an AI recommendation) and it was okay. Nothing mind blowing, fairly basic, but it worked for a night at home. What are your layering go-to's??

I use Mind Games' The Forward as a layering scent for many of my fragrances. Because it primarily has Madagascar vanilla, lemon and salt, it's neutral enough to blend but yet can boost and add depth.

Dionisio is an excellent fragrance. It features ambergris, oud and pheromones surrounded by two vanilla notes. A very feral scent!

@Ijaz Jalil I recently rated my fragrance collection, and I gave Dionisio a rating of 88.2 out of 100, which makes it an Accomplished (B+) scent. Here is the thread I created on my collection, with my most recent post showing my fragrance rankings. Dionisio isn't your average "bakery" vanilla. It has a floral, earthy and sophisticated Tahitian vanilla, along with a smooth and dark Madagascar vanilla. But to me, those vanillas balance out the ambergris, oud and pheromones to create this "skin-plus" fragrance — elevated, primal, yet incredibly polished. The performance is also exceptional -- I get 12-plus hours on my skin with my standard hydration practices. As for silliage, it's intimate but persistent. I had been looking for a price drop for Dionisio, which retails for $500. But securing a 100 ml bottle for $210 via MaxAroma — a price roughly the same cost as a standard 50 ml 'designer' fragrance — is a massive steal for 100 ml of Extrait de Parfum concentration.
Ranking Your Fragrance Collection
Hello, everyone! I am in the process of ranking my fragrance collection as a way of curating my scents. To those who have ranked their collection, I have some questions: 1.) What was your ranking criteria? Did you place emphasis on scent profile, performance or longevity, sillage or some other category? 2.) How did you create a rating system? Did you use numbers, letter grades, fractional numbers or some other metric? 3.) What kind of tier system did you use? For instance, do you have signature scents, strong system scents, complementary scents, or other types? 4.) How much emphasis do you place on technical aspects (such as blending) compared to emotional aspects (such as elevating your confidence)? 5.) What other factors to consider? I also am curious to hear why some people have not evaluated their collection. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

OK, I have come up with a system to rank my fragrances. I rate my fragrances in four categories on a weighted scale of 100 points: * scent profile (30 points) * performance/longevity (25 points) * sillage (25 points) * versatility (20 points) The fragrances will have rating tiers based on how they fit into my olfactive blueprint: Crown Jewel (A) = 93 to 100 (exceptional across all dimensions; iconic; irreplaceable) Signature (A-) = 90 to 92.9 (consistently delivers; emotionally resonant) Accomplished (B+) = 87 to 89.9 (excellent profile, though slightly less impactful) Masterful (B) = 84 to 86.9 (reliable and enjoyable; may have one or two small limits) Exceptional (B-) = 80 to 83.9 (good, but may have a particular niche or seasonal gaps) Solid (C+) = 75–79.9 (more of a utility player; often best for specific uses) Suitable (C) = 70 to 74.9 (functional; worth keeping but clearly not part of my core DNA) Instead of starting at 100 and subtracting points for perceived flaws, I start at zero and assign points based on merit in each category (zero-based grading). That way: - A fragrance earns its score purely on what it delivers, not by what it “loses” compared to a theoretical perfect scent. - I also use fractional scores to distinguish between the technical (consistency and structure) and emotional (how it aligns with my olfactive blueprint) aspects. - This method also makes fractional scores meaningful — every 0.1 or 0.2 reflects an actual earned quality rather than a penalty. - As a rule, I do not purchase fragrances with a score less than 70. I have ranked my collection, and will post the results for feedback.
