Miller Harris Citron Citron (seems to last on me, but short life is a common criticism )
I like the Pegwell bay, reminds me of blasted heath by Penhaligons.

I got my Acqua Di Parma Colonia Pura gift set for Xmas.
Anybody get anything good fragrance-wise from Santa?
Daughter got me a bottle of Sauvage for Christmas. Nice and very long lasting

Little thread revival. Does anyone know if it’s possible to by tester sets of all these fancy fragrances online? I’m quite curious as to what +£100 bottles of aftershave smell like….but would rather not buy such bottles blind!
Penhaligon's do a discovery set of men's fragrances - 5 mini bottles for 40 quids.
Www.scentsamples.uk.com do splits and allow you to buy as little as 5ml of all sorts (inc creed, Tom Ford etc)
Been around since 1870. Two royal warrants. A good range of whiffs - from traditional (Blenheim Bouquet) to modern, pretty much something for everyone. Very nice packaging and presentation.

Creed Aventus still gets a lot of reactions . I personally find it too strong for day time .
Green Irish Tweed is a good daytime scent .
Tuscan Leather is also way too strong to wear around people gor long periods , definitely a night time scent .
I just bought a bottle of Chanel pour monsoir to add to the collection it’s the third one I’ve had
Not a fan of Tuscan Leather or Ombré Leather.
For me, Aqua Di Parma’s Colonial Leather is probably the best leather out there...
Other fragrances in my rotation are
Creed Royal Oud
Fahrenheit (rediscovered this and it’s still one of the best)
Thierry Mugler Havane (now discontinued).
On my final drops of TF’s Tobacco Oud and gutted they have discontinued it. Will need to find an alternative.

House of Fraser have got 20% off everything
Just picked up a bottle of creed aventus 100ml for 230 delivered!
Lots of nice fragrances from Mancera and Xerjoff - the latter's Zefiro is a particular favourite.
Any new discoveries?
I'm rocking Hermes citron noir right now. Love it.
It’s a nice pong and very long lasting, less is more with it though - gently does it.
All of the aftershave from Hermes is very nice.
With working from home I have been wearing cheaper aftershave (I wear smellies everyday) leaving the good stuff for going out.
Everyday working from home includes:
4711 Cologne - the original cologne
Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia Concentrada
Both about £20 a bottle
Office pong:
Gorse by Laboratory Perfumes
Zeste de vetiver or Cedre Bleu by Durance
All a bit more at around £40-60.
Out out = more expensive smells.

Hermes, Chanel or Dunhill eau de parfum I tend to stick too. TK Maxx online is a good option to find things a little off the wall as well for significant savings.

I just had some Hermes h24 for my birthday really nice unique smell, quite unusual for a modern scent
Apropos of nothing at all, I finally bought a bottle of Creed Royal Oud in the Harvey Nicks sale on Monday & dear god it's unbelievable. Previously I've been caning Ombre Leather & Noir de Noir, but Royal Oud is just something else. Not much oud going on obvs, but such a classy fragrance.
Bought TF’s new Ébène Fumé this week. Rich & opulent but with a strong floral kick, that the blurb says is rose, but smells like violet to me.

Tried Mont Blanc Emblem at LHR today. Had a very similar scent to Creed Aventus to my untrained nose… long lasting & much cheaper.

I haven’t got that, but I have Mont Blanc Explorer (black) which is 99% the same as Aventus, are you sure it wasn’t this?

Just coming to the end of Acqua Di Parma Mandorlo Di Sicilia, absolutely top drawer fragrance.
Before I shell out on another, does anyone know of anything close without the price tag 😂😂
Armani - Stronger with you.
Had more compliments wearing this that anything else I’ve ever worn.
