Hi Gents, I am new to the fragrance world and have been loving the Azzaro Chome line. I see they have Chrome Azzaro Aqua but it was discontinued. I can only find seemingly authentic bottles on eBay for $150+ when the bottle usually sold around $50. Is there a more affordable way to get my hands on discontinued fragrances or is it just a supply and demand situation? Will Azzaro ever re-release this?

I'm wearing this for the first time today. I got this and another Dua fragrance in a bundle from Rescented that just happened to be from fellow BoS @Elliott Jones. Now, this is Duas' take on Interlude Black Iris by Amouage. At this point I want to try out every fragrance with iris in it but the OG is little out of my price range (maybe a decant one day) - hence, the Dua version. Is there iris in here, yes but you can barely make it out amongst the strong note breakdown: - Top Notes: Violet Leaf, Rosemary, and Bergamot. - Middle Notes (Heart): Orris Root (Iris), Olibanum (Frankincense), Myrrh, and Labdanum. - Base Notes: Leather, Agarwood (Oud), Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla, Amber, and Cedar Wood. There's so much going on in this that it keeps you guessing as to what note is coming through. It very much reminds me of Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special in a way - not in the exact smell, just that a whole hell of a lot is going on. This is definitely a cool weather scent and its performance is very strong so this might be the last time I wear it until it cools down again. It's definitely niche-smelling - not for everyone but I actually dig it.

I had a conversation with my wife about something I wanted odors golf. She said how many hobbies can 1 person have. I said sorry but I want to smell good and play golf simultaneously. So serious question, what other hobbies do you gentlemen have? For me it’s fragrances, golf, pickleball and cigars.

An improvement on the original from the scent line. Magnetic is an intense, ambery reinterpretation of the original DNA, designed to be more seductive and concentrated. Launched in 2022, it was composed by renowned perfumer Delphine Lebeau. A simple yet potent three note structure, focusing on a balance between exotic fruitiness & gourmand warmth. As the signature note of the entire The Scent line, the Maninka fruit here is more concentrated. It provides a sweet, slightly tart, and boozy aroma,like a mix of rum & passion fruit. At the heart you find the magnetic twist. The bran absolute adds an unusual cereal-like, nutty, slightly earthy texture. It tempers the sweetness of the fruit and gives the fragrance a masculine bite. The dry down is dominated by a rich, dark resinous vanilla. Unlike standard sugary vanilla, the husk extract is deeper & woodier, for a long-lasting, creamy finish. The upgraded edp will give you a good 7hrs on skin. It projects quite well for the first 2 hours before settling into a warm, intimate scent bubble that is very effective for close encounters. Best suited for Fall & Winter due to its density and sweetness. It is a perfect evening or date night fragrance. My Rating 7.5/10 Scent 2.5 Longevity 2 Sillage 2 Y/N 1

After my last purchase from Rescented it got me thinking if a fragrance is affected by a week being in the box getting jostled around and being in the heat and/or cold. Lo and behold I found this from @Lon Chaneyfield ... https://www.skool.com/bos/from-my-friend-i-thought-this-might-be-helpful-shipping-shock-michael-paul-dsy-three-fragrances?p=7d980919
