[Essex blue]

Creed for the special occasions (it’s £400 a bottle)

No boss but i shall do. Elysium is bright and fresh but not like some aquatic. It has depth. The opening punches you in the face. Like being in a room that had incense burning a few days ago and someone is flaming the acid out of an orange peel on to a cosmopolitan cocktail right next to you.

Some say it is like Aventus but i think only in the sense of having the same aim, they go about the smoky pineapple fruityness very differently.

Might have to try and get a sniff of it if it's in Selfridges or something. Not that big on Aventus though tbh..

It is pretty much the only scent from the designer market i don't own that i want. I used to have it but it got binned in a rage by an angry ex hahah. Speaking of Sauvage though i tested the elixir last week. It is just pure oil and for me it was to heavy so i am sticking with the parfum. I think the elixir was made for the middle eastern and asian market.

Ordered the saples boss, i should have them in 2 days, looking forward to testing them.

I may order the sample set of their full collection https://www.marcantoinebarrois.com/shop/perfume/echantillons/?lang=en The Encelade description is interesting "Fresh jungle on the side of a volcano". Have you ever tested that boss?

No I haven’t but going to have a look at that sample set!

Goldfield and Banks first Aussie perfumery. All their scents are mega but Pacific Lime is sensational.
Gold Leather by Atelier Cologne also class.

Have to take a look at these, never come across them

Pretty new I think mate I’ve only seen them in selfridges. They’re oil based and last for ages but a lot cheaper than creed etc.

Yes mate it’s the bohemian Lime I have. Sorry conflated the two. That Pacific Ross Miss is also nice but quite sweet. I’d highly recommend the Bohemian Line

Halfeti is great @kinkyblue it kicks you right in the nuts on the top but the dry down for me was smooth vanilla, almost like a sweet pastry shop scent but not feminine sweet. Could not stop sniffing my wrist. That is on the full bottle list.

I put some Amouage Jubilation XXV Man on today. To me it is like spice bomb but more rounded and a little cleaner on the dry down. Very well blended and it projects hard. Had it on 2 hours and it feels like i just sprayed it (one spray i should note) with the cloud of scent around me. Another on the full bottle list.

Halfeti lasts for an age as well, never tried the Jubilation but will have to try a sample after your glowing report!
Another I thought of last night was Dior Homme it’s a spicy woody scent
