Coup D'Etat by Miles Wambaugh 75ml EDP

That bottle and cap look cool.

 

[JakeStiebs]

HM (EdT) Hanae Mori (50 mL)

This one has been high on my list recently due to the price point paired with its uniqueness and quality. I smelled it from a sample quite a long time ago, looking forward to seeing what I've been missing all of these years.

Snagged a used bottle in excellent condition with box from Mercari for $30 USD using a $20 off $50 coupon.

Soivohle - Sinti extrait

[N.CAL Fragrance Reviewer]

Babycat could've easily been a Tom Ford private blend fragrance, you'd expect that from them.

 

[hollywoodforever]

Jo Malone - Mimosa & Cardamom Cologne
a partial... I'm excited about it.

Hot Shot, Mood For Oud, Sure Shot and Son Of A Gun by Miles Warbaugh 75ml EDP

 

[Ed Wardian]

Slowly easing into 2023 with two traveler purchases...

Definitely looking forward to re-drifting with Rania Jouaneh's delightful Lavande 44 by Rania J.



and appreciating the fine nuances of Violaine Collas's Crème de Cuir by BDK Parfums.

Just had my offer accepted on a new-to-me fragrance, partial bottle; hope I like it. 🤞

Tobacolor
Christian Dior​

I did own a mini which I got free with an order.

 

[wilfred]

some Tuscan Soul minis. older Bourdon release with Erolfa-esque top notes over a green herbal, floral sort of base. a very natural smelling, Italian themed citrus though unsurprisingly fleeting.

I posted a similar purchase a few weeks ago, a 0.5 ounce vintage splash, but the seller NEVER SENT IT. 🙄 So, I bought this 1.7 ounce vintage spray instead.

CLAIBORNE FOR MEN

I blind-bought a vintage pre-Coty mini bottle and love the scent but find the performance below average. How's yours?

Oh man. Well, this one hasn't arrived yet. But I own a current bottle, bought in 2020 for nostalgia purposes, and I cannot smell it at all. May as well be sugar water. And I am not the kind of guy to complain about performance.

I'm hoping I can at least smell SOMETHING from this vintage bottle. I'd be more than happy to have it as a gym scent or bedtime scent. I wore the hell out of that fragrance. probably went through a bottle a year for several years.

Swear, my smells great for 10 seconds and then it's a skin scent at best. 🙄

Been spending a lot of time thinking about what I’m gonna buy myself with a little holiday money I have. Thinking maybe moving away from designers.. no more mainstream stuff. No more “heavy hitters” - just seek out really unique and difficult fragrances. So what do I do today? I order a bottle of DHI 😂 had to do it lol!

Sacred Wood By Kilian

Fragrance Porn.. 😁

 

[Professor Value]

So, file this under, "What was he thinking?"
I am a big fan of Azzaro Pour Homme and have plenty of vintage and newer. This popped up online, I submitted a low offer, and it was just accepted: $12.70 including shipping. I was intrigued by it being an EDP and sometimes clones are very good, with a slightly different, attractive twist (e.g., Jordache version of Quorum). I cannot find any reviews. We'll see. 🤞

Le Monde Gourmand Peachcello Petillant

Haven't tried it, but the notes sound fresh and fun (Sweet Orange, Peach Bellini, White Woods). There's something about the brand DNA that hooks me so I feel obligated to keep trying them

Interesting. I believe this photo I copied and pasted using my laptop vs. inserting using my phone, like I just did with this screenshot. Can you see the picture in the original post @fanny @hollywoodforever ?

Cuir Des Sables by Thierry Blondeau 100ml EDP

 

[AndyL]

Chanel - Egoiste & Cuir de Russie

Egoiste - First wearing. Classy woody base with some sour dirty vanilla sweetness. Very unique scent and quite potent. Wonderful.

Cuir de Russie - Finally, a leather fragrance I can wear. Smells like getting my my grandmas old Mercedes convertible. A very easy wear, quite enjoyable. Unisex.

Chatter about this in the Vintage SOTD Thread for January 2023 pushed me to purchase two 4 ml mini bottles to give it a test drive. 🤞
