Creed Aventus on the weekend or holiday, Sunnamusk Victory during the work week in the summer.

A very old one, not made in a long time, Bvlgari Blv, gets a special spritzing on the warmer summer days to remind me of being a carefree borderline delinquent as a youngster, during the summer days and nights spent at a friend’s family’s beach house. I was given a bottle of it the day I left for that trip what feels like a lifetime ago now, and that scent brings me back to that time.

Penhaligons Blazing Mr Sam during the day in the cooler months.

Penhaligons Lord George for a more serious evening event in those same cooler months.

I have about 50 frags at the moment..heavy on the Lattafa/Afnan/Middle Eastern dupes
i place Sauvage Elixir, Tom Ford Oud Wood, Tom Ford Beau de Jour, Prada Luna Rossa Carbon, Prada Infusion d'Iris Cedre, Aventus on a top tier
Acqua di parma Colonia in almost all its declinations also quality stuff

Unpopular opinion: TF Ombre leather and TF Tobacco vanilla are disgusting to me

3 big hobby's for me,

number 1 : watches
number 2 : cars
number 3 : PERFUME/COLOGNES

Today I want to talk with you guys about perfume.
For me its next to a good outfit and a nice watch one of my head essentials daily.

there is something about a good smelling perfume, you feel much more confident.

building a collection for quite a time now atm and is growing pretty hard.

for the co-members who are also perfume addicts ill write my perfume list down under here.

I would also like to know which colognes you wearing.

1. Initio oud for greatness, lovely scent, warm spicy perfect for the evening and winters
2. Frederic Malle Promise, one of the best perfumes I ever had , this scent is so strong that if you spray it on a jacket weeks after you still smell it. not for everyone notes: Turkish rose / leather / Cypriol oil
3. Louis Vuitton Orage, lovely summer fragrance it has a bit of oud with citrus going trough, one of my favorites for the summer.
4. Prada Luna Rossa, perfect daily fresh scent for the office.
5. Le Labo Santal33, this piece I already had 4/5 bottles of it I think. for me its perfect, the leather notes mixed with sandalwood is perfect.
6. Astrophille & Stella Nabati, also one brick of a scent it reminds me of promise but then completely focused on the leather side.
7. By Killian Angels Share, absolute lovely scent, if angels smelling like this then is heaven the most perfect place for your nose.
8. By Killian Black Phantom, boozy, masculine, powerful with a blend of coffee and chocolate. perfect for winter dates in a special restaurant.
9. Amouage Interlude Black Iris, NO WORDS YOU SMELL LIKE A MULTI BILLIONAIRE F*CKING SHEIK ARAB
10. Chanel blue, great summer scent not to expensive works fine for office hours.
11. Tom Ford Oud Wood, THE nicest oud fragrance no doubt.
12. Penhaligons Halfeti Cedar, strong masculine fragrance but with a soft touch very British.
13. Tom Ford Ombre leather, for a reasonable price one of the best leather fragrances possible to get,
14. Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint, when you mix a very strong oud/leather winter fragrance with a fresh lemon summer scent you get this. one of my new favorites.
15 .acqua di parma fico di Amalfi, fresh summer scent perfect for summer lunch or boat days.

I have so much more, I hope to get some inspiration from your colognes collections.
what I like are the warm, spicy leather fragrances so if you have tips for me let me know.

here a couple pictures with a small part of my collection.

If you had to pick one forever, which one would it be? By the way, thank you for your list, I’ll use it for my next fragrance purchase.

I like Creed Adventus but refuse to buy it retail. Al Haramain L'Aventure Intense is a dead ringer for it. I either wear that, or the original Dolce & Gabbana original Blue.

As for me, my next purchase is Game of Spade Wildcard By Jo Milano, supposedly a Bond no.9 Lafayette Street clone and Amber Oud Exclusive Bleu, a PDM Layton clone.

I'll just join the party..
I would say Perfumes are after watches, my number 2.. But I can't afford the heavy price tags that some perfumes have. in Switzerland there is a guy that sells ''Dupes'' and I did not trust it at all.. Then he opened a pop-up store, and i was there to try some of the fragrances that i have, the original ones.. like Ombre Nomad from LV or Alexandria ll and i was shocked.. They are exactly the same, and some of them last even longer. The only thing that i hate are the Flakons.. i would love to find a supplier that sells rep flakons and then just switch them over..

Here are some of the IMO Musthaves..


Clive Christian - Blonde Amber
BDK - Velvet Tonka
MFK - Grand Soir
Xerjoff - Naxos / Alexandria 2 / Alexandria 3 / Torino 21 / Uden Overdose
Roja - Isola Blue
Widian - London

Just found this thread :love:. I’m a massive perfume addict too, but lately I’ve only been adding to my Tom Ford collection more than anything else. Usually as a result of walking through the Duty Free section at an airport, smelling something once and buying it, then after a few days wondering whether I actually like it or not.

My current TF on rotation is:

Tom Ford Black Orchid EdP (my fave scent for years, bold, distinctive, overbearing… a bit like me :ROFLMAO:);
Tom Ford Oud Minerale EdP;
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver Parfum EdP.

Now I have TF Fucking Fabulous EdP on order, as there’s been lots of suggestions here on RWI that it’s a winner. But I’m blind buying this one so I hope it’s worth it 😁

And 'Rutvah' if I can find it with all original natural ingredients. This is more an occult concoction of oils developed by Aleister Crowley.
