I have Christmas dinner at the country club on Monday. My collection has wildly changed since last year's dinner. Last year I wore FW Suits, an excellent alternative to YSL Tuxedo. Looking for some ideas. Maybe I have it or something in that space. What say you? Some that I am thinking of - J'Adoube - Grand Master - Mentor - Oajan - Intense Cafe

@Mike Jermann asked about pet peeves in his post https://www.skool.com/bos/whats-some-of-your-pet-peeves-about-the-fragrance-world?p=e073eff6 and my biggest pet peeve is house not offering smaller bottle sizes with a a relative appropriate price. As my collection grows and I still want to add way more variety, when I see a bottle only offered in a 100ml or larger or a ridiculous high priced 50ml, I just walk away, sometime never getting a bottle from that house. I still do buy 100ml, but mostly for frags that I MUST have or the price is way too good to pass up, but I like to share my treasures so that's a win win. Size is part of the biggest reason why I started with Dua and at 70+ now. Is it just me r do you any of you do the same thing?

Wrapped up a full day with Purpose 50 from a decant and wanted to share where I ended up. The wear today stayed extremely soft. By early afternoon it was basically a skin scent. Up close I could get the suede and a bit of the Akigalawood, but nothing projected into the air. It reminded me of how Reflection 45 behaved, but even quieter. My impressions were very different from what most reviews online describe. A lot of people talk about Purpose 50 having real depth and presence. On my skin, this decant felt muted and flat. That got me thinking about the atomizer. A 50 percent oil extrait needs a proper fine mist to actually bloom. If the sprayer doesn’t atomize well, the fragrance can sit heavy on the skin and never lift. I’m starting to believe that might be what happened here, so I’m planning to retest Purpose 50 after I pick up a better fine mist atomizer. So here’s my question for the group: Have any of you noticed big differences in performance when testing extraits from a decant? And do you have recommendations for a solid fine mist atomizer that handles thicker juice properly? Would love to hear what has worked for you.

Ok, I searched the posts and hadn't seen one of these for quite some time, so I apologize if I missed one. I'd like to hear what our current 10/10 fragrances are. I know our noses change over time, and we are always making new discoveries, so let's hear it. What are your holy grails?

What's up gents, like the title said, I could be doing a trade in the next couple of days, but wanted some advice on it being a good or bad one. I would be trading a bottle of about 190ml Boss Bottled EDP for a 150ml Azzaro Most Wanted Parfum. I love my Bottled, but it's not eye catching in my 60+ fragrance collection. Even though it is very nice, I do think I have the better trade off. Definitely let me know what you think. And as always, have a blessed day:)
