I smiled Desirtoxic Intense and enjoyed it. Would like to see how the regular compares. Agreed on your comments on 40 knots. Not at all what I expected and it took me a wearing to get on the same page, but I genuinely love it in the air. Getting a wiff on myself through the day makes me smile.

@djsaunter 27 дней назад

I kept going back and forth on if I wanted Reflection Man. After a decant I still couldn't decided if I just liked it, and I try to avoid buying thing s I just like and don't love. Eventually I got a decant of Dia Man from a friend's recommendation when I was hunting for a masculine peony fragrance and right away knew it was the first Amouage I wanted! It's very subtle, not loud at all, which many Amouage fans dislike, but perfect for me. Lightly sweet, lightly floral, lightly spicy, lightly smoky. Little hype though, but that can be a good thing.

Reflection Man was my 1st ever cologne. I j7st bought 40 knots earlier this summer. I love how they make me feel. I have been on the fence about Tuscan leather, only because I live in a claimant that has 300 day of 85-100 degree and high humidity, and it can be a bit challenging... but I am contemplating it.

@masonturner2124 27 дней назад

Ganymeade IMO is a masterpiece fragrance. It smells extremely elegant, classy, unique, but still very likeable. I feel comfortable only wearing it to special occasions like weddings etc.

@ikeforever15 27 дней назад

Tuscan Leather is amazing. Definitely lives up to the hype. People say it is reformulated but I think it's all for the better as they say it less potent now. Amazing perfume very unique the number of niche dupes like London by Widian are proof of that. I agree with your take. You don't wear this for others and those who get it get it.

Ganymede is a trip. I actually like it more as a room spray. I just spray a strip and it fills the room. I can’t wear it unless I know I’m taking a shower within 5 hours because it doesn’t stop. But as a room fragrance, it’s incredible.

I'd love more from both series. And you're right about 40 Knotts, it's amazing. The other from Xerjoff I picked up this summer and have worn a lot, is Decas. And I notice the Lineage bottle on your shelf. I remember you were on the fence with it when you did an Amouage video, I picked it up about a month and a half ago and I've had 5 full wears of it. I absolutely love it, although I can see it might not be for everyone.

What a great list. Not a list for everyone that's for sure. But a list to try cause you might just fall in love. Reflection Man is my favorite of the house. The closest thing on this list that's mass appealing. Ganymede is so different and interesting yet not complicated or challenging 40 knots off my skin is a powder nuclear warhead. But off my clothes it's as you described. Lastly I had a bottle of Desir toxic and liked it but didn't love it. So I traded it away and then got the intense flanker. It's better to me. Maybe the mint adds a layer my nose was missing.

I understand when you say performance isn't a major factor for what you consider to be a "great" fragrance because of the massive collection you have, but to be completely honest it does matter to 90% of people. Most people want to get their money's worth when buying a fragrance.

@stayfreshproductions 27 дней назад

I understand your perspective. The reason why I say that is because performance is not a “feature” of fragrances-it is not quantifiable like onboard storage in a device, or horsepower in a vehicle. It cannot be determined. It is purely relative and variable. Thus, it is out of our control. I simply find it crazy-making to concern myself with something that is beyond my control. So I enjoy the fragrance for its primary purpose, and what can be controlled-the way it smells. Just me!
