I gave myself an amazing fragrance this year. This stuff smells even better on my skin. If you been thinking about copping this one... DO IT! You will not regret it.

In March 2025, I was browsing YouTube and stumbled upon a video by @Antonio Centeno (Real Men Real Style). He was talking about fragrances, and one specifically stood out: Creed Aventus. I did some quick research and was intrigued by the so-called scent that "George Clooney wears"—but let’s be real, $500 for "smelling water" isn't exactly an easy pill to swallow! In that same video, Antonio mentioned a brand called Dua that created affordable inspirations of those high-end scents. I decided to take the leap and ordered Poseidon's Elixir 11Z. When it arrived... WOW. 🤯 I was hooked. That one bottle started a chain reaction: - 2 weeks later: I grabbed 3 more (Absolu Aventus, Aventus Cologne, and Millesime Imperial versions). - By August, I added Layton and Oud Wood. - A week after that, I bought 10 more. - Today: I proudly own 100 Duas. But it’s more than just the bottles. 2025 has been a year of true discovery. This hobby made me happy and sparked a real love for the art. I’ve started learning about scents and accords, smelling essential oils to understand notes, and diving deep into the world of decants and samples. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Antonio Centeno for that life-changing video. It introduced me to Aventus, to Dua, and most importantly, to this incredible community. Thank you all for being part of my journey!
