A flanker to OG but totally different a unique DNA of citrus in the start and spicy earthy and mossy at the base, a nice change which is more wearable in evenings outdoors.

Hey good people! There’s a new Creed coming soon!

Hey guys, Joe A. here with another one for ya’! Today’s bit is one that pops up a lot in the fragrance hobby: “What discontinued fragrances do I need to get before they’re gone forever?” Listen, I get it! There’s something exciting about "The Hunt." A bottle gets discontinued, the price starts climbing, people start whispering about reformulations, backup bottles and “you had to be there” batch codes like we’re discussing ancient scrolls under candlelight. But here’s the boring-but-necessary truth: Before you go chasing discontinued fragrances, you really need to know what scent profiles you actually love!! Because discontinued does not automatically mean legendary. Sometimes it means the fragrance was underappreciated. Sometimes it means the brand made a bad decision. Sometimes it means the market moved on. And sometimes, gentlemen, it means the fragrance was standing in the clearance aisle for a reason... There's some absolutely great discontinued bottles out there. Acqua di Gio Profumo. Valentino Uomo Intense. Dunhill Icon. Certain Tom Ford releases. Older designer gems. Vintage formulations that fragrance folks still talk about like lost treasure. But “great fragrance” and “great fragrance for you” are two very different things!! Don't let FOMO grab you by the wallet and drag you into a $250 blind buy just because a fragrance now has “discontinued” attached to its name. My advice? Don’t chase discontinued fragrances first. Chase your own taste first. Once you know what you love, the hunt becomes smarter. You’re not just buying because something is rare. You’re buying because it fits your nose, your style and your collection. And let’s be honest, guys… there are still plenty of excellent fragrances available right now. Missing out on a discontinued bottle is not the end of the hobby. Sometimes the dragon you’re chasing is legendary. Sometimes it just smells like regret with a batch code!! What say you, guys? Do you chase discontinued fragrances, or do you usually let them go? What’s one discontinued bottle you think is actually worth the hunt? And what’s one that people hype up mostly because they can’t easily get it anymore? Love to hear from ya'!
