This:
Well the bottle showed up from @GYMnTONIC
It is a really good scent, I was curious if I'd like it or not because I feel like I'm a bit picky when it comes to scents!
I used it on Friday night and it went hard...
As far as the pheromones go... I'm not sure if it worked it's magic more on the ladies or on myself but it was a good night... do recommend!!

SOTD...La Nuit De L'Homme Bleu Electrique... I enjoy it and got a unsolicited compliment. Which are the only ones I count. Is a full bottle worth the high price because it's discontinued. I might look for a clone or something very similar.

How much did it sell for originally, looks like new in box offerings can be found for about $130 online... Did they have another scent take it's place that's similar?

Broke out the ole bottle of invictus today. Completely forgot I owned this and haven’t worn it in ages. I was thrown back by how good the projection on it was. I also forgot how much I loved the smell of it. Will have to break this scent out more often.

I think the story was a few ingredients were hard to source during Covid times so they discounted it. When it first released Macy's ran a unadvertised sale for it for $40 bucks. A hell of a steal. Then it was instantly out of stock everywhere. Never really came back except on ebay etc. I heard it might get made again but who knows.

Ah that makes sense... a couple sites I found it listed on show it out of stock of course but notify when back in stock so we'll see! yeah $40 vs $130 :oops:

Think I found a good substitute instead of the original. Makin' Scents. I just watched a few reviews of fragrances he has and checked out his website. Tons of options there. I think when the lady isn't looking I'm going to order a few and try. They are all extrait de parfum concentrations which means a higher oil % used which should mean beast mode performance. My ears perk up lol. Also might check out his interpretation of Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef & Arpels since I refuse to blind buy a former 25 dollar fragrance that's now going for up to several 100's of dollars. Although the bottle is badass looking lol

Im terrible at describing stuff, but its a little powdery and a tad sweet, smells like something dior would make. It’s definitely a way higher quality fragrance than it originally cost

Bond NO. 9...Chez Bond..Only one I wear...A little pricey, but worth it in my opinion. Can't tell you how many times I've been complimented on the way it smells

I have The Scent of Peace, didn't like it at first because it didn't project. I just wasn't getting a full spray at first. One of my date night scents now

So,
Bang is definitely different, it kinda is like a bang straight in your face.
Prada l’eau seems really close to the original l’homme but a little more soapy, but i like it, its good, dont think its worth owning both though
Invictus aqua 2016 is alot smoother version of the aqua that came after. I sprayed the 16 and the newer version on my hand and my lady said the 16 was stronger and smelled alot better
Now, Bvlgari pour homme, holy shit, i like it alot, , its been out since the late 90s, no idea how i havent smelled this….looking forward to getting the extreme version
Ordered paco rabanne one million elixer and bvlgari pour homme soir….we will see how they are

My newest scent blended with pheromones is Baccarat Rouge 540.

Anyone ever use this before/ It is very highly reviewed at the moment.

Thats definitely a great scent. One of the most sought after. Me and my wife both like it…..im gonna have to try these pheromones
