May 28th: Live with Marcelo — The Niche Fragrance Collector! 🎙️
Gents, this one's for the fragrance lovers (and anyone who wants to start smelling like a man with taste). We've got Marcelo — The Niche Fragrance Collector — joining us for our May 28th LIVE call! This Aussie has built a serious following exploring niche perfumery from across the world, meeting the perfumers behind the craft, and championing the underappreciated art of "smelling." He doesn't just chase the next bottle to buy — he digs into the artistry, the notes, and the creativity behind every great scent. Whether you're new to fragrance or you've already got a shelf full of bottles, this is going to be a fun, eye-opening conversation packed with value. Come learn how to think about scent the way a real collector does! 📅 The Details - When: Thursday, May 28th - Time: 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM Central US - Meeting Link: https://www.skool.com/bos/calendar?eid=df6c2bf442184b7db835487a5e2697c6 Drop your fragrance questions in the comments below — favorite notes, what you're looking to find next, or anything you've always wanted to ask a true collector. I want to make sure we cover what matters most to YOU. Let's pack this call and show Marcelo what this community is all about. See you! 🚀✨

BOS Weekly Member Shoutouts 👏
Brothers, here are a few standout posts from the BOS community this week. 1. @Lon Chaneyfield Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/my-scent-journey-always-moving-up-to-the-real-thing Big shoutout to Lon for sharing his scent journey and connecting fragrance to a bigger life pattern — wanting the real thing, appreciating quality, and understanding the difference between copying the look and owning the experience. That is exactly the kind of deeper fragrance conversation that makes BOS valuable. 2. @Renato Carotti Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/the-hunt-for-dead-stock-tober-chasing-discontinued-fragrances-without-losing-your-nose-or-your-wallet Shoutout to Renato for bringing a useful and grounded take on discontinued fragrances. Instead of just hyping rarity, he reminded everyone to understand what scent profiles they actually love before chasing bottles. Practical, thoughtful, and helpful. 3. @Eduardo Figueroa Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/sad-challenging-times-ahead-prada-lhomme Big shoutout to Eduardo for trusting the community with something deeply personal. His post reminded everyone that BOS is not only about fragrance — it is also about the men behind the bottles, and the support this group can offer during hard seasons. 4. @Stephen DeMent Post: https://www.skool.com/bos/should-we-continue-using-the-word-oriental-in-perfumery Shoutout to Stephen for starting a thoughtful discussion around language, history, and perfumery. He brought personal background and context to the topic, which helped elevate the conversation beyond simple opinion.

Porthole Dupes side by side comparisons: Dua Starboard, Porthole 10ml Decant, Alexandria Loophole,Montagne Port Azure, Dapper Marine Portal,
Dua Starboard: I’m sorry, but this one is so far from the OG in scent that it shouldn’t be considered a dupe. The opening is a blast of lemonade, the drink. It reminds me of this strawberry lemonade candle from BBW. It is not a bad smell, but it just doesn’t smell like a fragrance you wear on your body. The projection was very strong for the first 3 hours, then fizzles out to a skin scent by hours 4-5. 5/10. Alexandria Loophole: The moment I sprayed this, I could immediately tell it resembled Porthole. Lacking the sea salt and iodine notes from the OG, but the rest of it is all there. The juicy pineapple opening takes over for the first 20 minutes, then it dries down into the passion fruit/ginger. I think the ginger note is slightly overdosed here because there is this smell that I also find in LV L’immensite. It has a light/airy feeling but somehow still projects and lasts 6-7 hours. Not a perfect dupe, but overall a solid alternative to Porthole. 8.5/10. Montagne Port D’Azur: This is wonderful. There are some similarities to the Alexandria dupe, but also a few differences that make it a few points closer to the OG. The opening has that passionfruit mixed in with the pineapple, creating this intoxicating/addictive smell that makes me want to lick the spot on my arm where I sprayed. It’s lacking the sea salt / Iodine just like the Alexandria, but I think it’s for the better. The ginger note here is toned down to perfection. It has the same airy but strong projection/longevity as the OG. Overall, I would say this is a few points higher than the Alexandria version. 8.9/10 Dapper Fragrances: This has everything the Montagne does and the Alexandria, but it does not lack the Seasalt / Iodine like the Alexandria and the Montagne 9.2/10 Loumari Porthole: Well, this is the OG, and it is expensive. It has everything. No need to explain more. Dapper has just a tad bit more longevity, and Montagne is just under the OG The OG is slightly better with the raw materials, but you would have to smell each fragrance at least 20 times to detect the slight difference. In the air tested the top 3 with 4 different employees, and the supermarket Lady could not tell the difference. This included the Porthole, so 4 in total, and all were fully matured. OG 9.5/10
