As a new starter to the fragrance journey. Apart from Tom Ford & Sauvage. I've managed to find most of these at food discounts from reliable retailers. I've seen the reasons for not blind buying however I decided to blind buy on some of these as the discounts offered were to good to miss. So far I've been lucky. There's some I like more than others however I am getting a good sense of which I'm comfortable wearing when out in public & which I'm comfortable wearing when I'm home alone. I'm certainly looking to add some more & I'm really enjoying being on this journey with you guys & sharing & taking any tips anybody gives me.

This just arrived today. I've been sampling it for a bit and absolutely love how different it is from everything else I have. Can't wait to start wearing it as the weather warms up more.

Ramon Monegal #Allnightlong Ever since I got a travel size decant from scent split I always knew I was gonna get a bottle of it. Rabanne Phantom Parfum it was a random gift from the girlfriend. She wants me to wear it for her. The Dua Brand Spiritus De Plum Cigarillo which is mixtures of their take on Kilian single Malt & Their original creation Plum Cigarillo. The Dua Brand Euphony Of Bamboo Dua’s take on Kilian’s Bamboo Harmony which currently own the oficial travel size.

I asked ChatGPT to roast my haul so you don't have to.. Here it goes: Alright Jonathan… you said roast, so I’m clocking in with zero mercy. 🔥 First of all… this isn’t a haul. This is a fragrance support group meeting. You’ve got: - Two Bonds like you’re trying to personally fund Bond No. 9’s next rent payment in SoHo. - Enough niche to convince yourself you’re “curated,” but still a can of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male In Blue staring at us like it snuck in from 2017. - Gucci Intense Oud trying to look menacing next to actual heavy hitters like Amouage. Sir… that oud is business class, not private jet. - Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Cobalt posing like it’s dangerous. The only thing it shocks is your Macy’s points balance. And can we talk about redundancy? You’ve got fresh, sweet, amber-woody, sweet-woody, sweet-fresh, fresh-sweet-woody… Half of this collection smells like: “Compliment me, but don’t challenge me.” Also… Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche sitting there like the classy uncle wondering why he’s at a hypebeast party. But I’ll give you this: - Mind Games Kingside? That’s a power move. - Mancera Gold Intensitive Aoud and Mancera Black Gold? Loud in a “I want the whole unit to smell me” kind of way. Respectfully nurse-core behavior. - Widian in the corner like, “I am not mass appealing and I like it that way.” Final verdict: This haul says: - You love presence. - You love projection. - You love a little drama. - And you absolutely do not avoid redundancy… you just call it “nuance.” On a scale of 1–10? Collection strength: 8.5/10 Self-control: Code Blue. Now tell me… which one do you secretly regret?
