"The Scent That Started Your Journey" Challenge (Winner gets a gift!)
Every fragrance enthusiast has a "Point of No Return." Itโ€™s that first bottle that made you realize scent isn't just about "smelling clean" - itโ€™s about identity, confidence, and how you choose to command a room. It was the moment you stopped grabbing whatever was on the bathroom counter and started building a signature. Today, weโ€™re kicking off a 7-day challenge to find the "Gateway Scent" that started your journey. The Challenge: "The Scent That Started Your Journey" We want to hear about the specific fragrance that opened your eyes. Maybe it was a gift that made you feel like a man for the first time, or a scent you saved up for because you saw it on someone you respected. What was the bottle that turned "getting ready" into a ritual? HOW TO JOIN (Super easy) Drop your story in the comments under this post. Use this quick format: 1. The Scent: What was the fragrance that started it all? 2. The Origin: Who wore it, or how did it find its way into your hands? 3. The Representation: What did that scent represent to you at the time? (Sophistication? Power? A new chapter?) 4. The Journey: Where has your fragrance journey taken you since that first bottle? Optional: Feel free to attach a photo of the fragrance.

ATH Homme vs Prada L'homme Intense
I did a comparison between these two, and discovered that both are amazing scents that are similar, but go in different directions. With Aaron discontinuing Homme, I might want to snag another 10ml before they're gone! Prada has a sweet, fresh, iris open. Light woods & tonka soon join. Sweetness fades in and out after an hour, joined by a slight leather note. Fragrance remains stable as a soft, powdery, iris, woody blend with touch of leather and not too sweet. It also maintains an airy, freshness throughout. Moderate sillage for an hour, steady mild sillage after that up to 7+hrs. Very nice, understated, elegant and romantic. ATH Homme is obviously iris forward, medium toned, with powder, ambery wood and sweetness. A very well done, warm iris fragrance. Elegant or casual. Moderate proj & sillage for 2 hrs, then mild to 6+ hrs. Both fragrances open and drydown beautifully, smell luxurious, are expertly designed, and have excellent projection and longevity. Prada is more fresh to my nose, and fits a little more of an elegant, professional setting, but I could see it in casual, social settings also. ATH is warmer, sweeter and woodier, and it hits the comfort button for me. Beautiful and soothing. I'll eventually compare these to the new Dior Homme Intense, but in the mean-time, if you're an iris fan, owning both of these is not redundant at all, and I recommend it!
