What colognes do you own?

I don't feel like going back through all of these pages, but does anyone follow Jeremy Fragrance? I've personally found his top cologne list to be knock out. He is great at what he does IMO.

He's the guy who got me into fragrances. I used to follow him until recently, although I've stopped watching a lot of fragrance viewers largely because I'm familiar with just about everything reviewers suggest. I might watch videos about new releases or top 10 lists.

I think he's handled his own fragrance release badly, but I don't think it's going to kill his channel in the way other reviewers do. I hadn't any intention of buying it once I saw the initial price, and especially now he thinks he can charge Roja Dove prices for something that he hasn't released the note list for, doesn't have the pedigree of an established brand, and has badly handled the PR game in the wake of the kickstarter.

But yeah, I was a big fan and pretty much every fragrance he suggested was one I bought after trying.

Jeremy Fragrance is a likeable and charasmatic guy, however I have to say he really delivers on his cologne recommendations. I haven't been watching recently either, I just take a look at his top 5 cologne list for all occasions. I've gotten so many compliments off of his top recommendations it's insane. It really adds to the sex appeal.

I also forgot to give a shout out to Aqua di Gio PROFUMO. That stuff is unbelievable. I wouldn't have chosen any of the fragrances I have if it weren't for him. I am a really indecisive person when it comes to colognes simply because there are so many. It's cool to see reviews/ratings/actual scenarios where people give their opinion. But at the same time, I won't but something I don't like just because it got good reviews. I've been trying to find ultra male but I'm more of a burly masculine man and it sounds a little fruity.

I also watched Dracdoc a lot. He's a cool cat.

I think Sauvage is too strong and smells terrible, but since its so strong people will notice it and say something.

For me personally I go with Jereemy Fragrance and love La Nuit de l'homme. The cherry flavor on top makes it great to smell.

I just found a Burberry summer sample and it seems nice, might get a bottle of it.

Nejma No1, Terry de Gunzberg Terryfic Oud and Amouage Dia for me. Also a fan of several by L'Artisan Parfumeur, original Aramis 900 and Havana (both RIP), and Lalique Encre Noir.

What really seems to fuck the industry is perfumes changing their chemical composition. For instance this Jeremy guy is big on ´La nuit de l´homme´, but the old 2012 version. Then you have a 2015 version apparently that's ok but the 2018 version is shit. Not to mention then that they released like 4 or so official 'La nuit de l'homme', but with different accents called 'intense','eau electrique', 'frozen' etc. Most guys also don't know the difference between eau de toilette and perfume further complicating stuff.

These things make it increasingly hard for any buyer to have confidence in a perfume and rely on the opinions of experts.

I have some old chanel cologne that an ex gave me back in like 2012, the bottle is still half full. I mostly used it for dressy occasions.

Lately I've been using a little spray bottle with some water, coconut oil, and peppermint essential oil. Smells great, no chemicals, super cheap.

My woman got me into Tom Ford, and oh man I smell good.

I got Beau Du Jour, rather strong. Tobacco Oud, with is just right, and then Patchouli Something that's just manly as hell.

Shits expensive, but it got more oil in it than the average. It lasts way longer, and you use a lot less.

Aloha!

I used to have La nuit de l'homme, it's pretty good. I stopped buying it when I read about Yves Saint Laurent pedophile trips overseas.

Now, I use Invictus by Paco Rabanne when I am out. I find it complements well my enchanting vibe. I usually get inquiries from the bros and compliments from the hoes.

Just picked up a bottle of Dior Fahrenheit today.

I had never smelled this stuff until today. But I had noticed many YouTube reviewers would list this stuff among their favorites. Especially the female reviewers. Demi Rawlings gets very hot and bothered just talking about the stuff.

Another review I read by a woman said it smelled like gasoline and leather. She said she was confused because she liked it. But she also said that depending on her mood she may not like it. Finally she said that if she found the man attractive she would love it, and if not attracted to the man she’d be repulsed. And this is a common and unique trend for this particular cologne.

In other words, this stuff is polarizing and confusing to women and we know how they like being in that state.

Bottom line: make it work for you. If she backs away due to the smell, she’s not into you. If she compliments you, proceed.

Cost about $75 for the small bottle which is surprising as it’s been on the market for 30 years. Most colognes end up in the bargain bin after 30 years.

It smells unlike anything else out there.

To me it smells like a lesser version of Tuscan leather. Great for the price but the best leather fragrance is oud leather by Tom Ford, expensive but everybody compliments it. One girl even going out and saying I smelled like a rich bad boy(which was weird because she had to be around 18-21).

But hey guys I’m looking for a fragrance, all I remember was the notes and some of the name “moon.....” . The notes were tobacco, vanilla, leather and a hint of spice. This is the only fragrance that had women actually stopping me and asking me what I was wearing. I went to a mall in Atlanta, tried it on, and Atleast 12 girls stopped me.

The thing I've felt most proud of during my entire stay at RVF is getting y'all niggas hooked on Tom Ford colognes.

Yo Kona, was the Patchouli bottle black/brown or white? I want to buy it but there's like 2-3 bottles.

If a girl is 8 or above, between the ages of 18 and 21, there’s a good chance she knows exactly what a rich chad smells smells like.

Normally I wear Aventus, but I had to see what the unique hype was on Fahrenheit. I also want to pick up a bottle of drakkar just to see what kind of mileage it gets. There’s an entire generation of adults who have never smelled them.

Go to FragranceNet and use the search feature to see if that will help you find what you want.
