Frag Acquisitions

My Lady friend picked this one up for me today at a local fragrance retailer. $35 is a steal for this underrated gem. She knows me better than I thought..... :ihih:

I just saw [Zino Davidoff] was discontinued and grabbed a couple bottles. Excellent old school 80's fragrance that still holds up today. It reminds me of Tom Ford Beau de Jour but at 1/10th of the price.

Zino Davidoff

Is there an anisic note in Zino?

This is Azzaro Pour Homme made softer, a touch sweeter/rounder, and a bit more "oriental" . . .
If you have any affection for barbershops like Rive Gauche, Paco Rabanne PH or Azzaro PH, you absolutely must try this. —

I just bought a bottle too. Saw on another site that it was discontinued so figured now was the time. Such a beautiful scent, I can't get enough.

Also got a bottle of Parfum d'Empire Acqua di Scandola.

 
I've gone a little wild lately, and will be putting myself on a purchasing freeze for a while.

Have bottles on the way of:
Parfum d'Empire - Azemour Les Orangers
Masque Milano - Hemingway
Acqua Di Parma - Fico di Amalfi
Roja - Apex

Nice haul!

Have you tried Parfum D’Empire Ambre Russe? I just pulled it out to wear tomorrow. It is a really good one.

I haven’t tried Apex, but just bought a bottle of Roja Elysium Parfum Cologne. Excellent stuff for a “budget” Roja.

I also recently bought Creed Bois du Portugal and Boss Bottled Elixir.

I will be going on a fragrance buying freeze as well. 😱

That’s an impressive haul all in one shot!

How do you like the Boss Elixir? I’ve heard and read good things but have not spoken to someone who has actually has it.


I think that’s makes the 3 of us on a buying freeze, I just ordered a bottle of Tom Ford White Patchouli and Versace Eros Flame. I am eying up a bottle of Bond No.9 New York Patchouli but I’m hoping I have the fortitude to not buy it.

LOL. Maybe we all need a fragrance intervention. 🤪

The Boss Elixir is really nice. First Boss fragrance I have likely bought in 30+ years. Almost niche like.

Yes! I really do like Ambre Russe. I sampled a lot of ambers this last winter and it one of my favorites. I don't like sweet or vanilla scents, so it was perfect for me and unique compared to a lot of them.

I found a pretty good deal on the Apex ($140) so I went for it after really loving a sample. It's a really old school green scent, been a while but it reminds me of how I remember Polo green, but a bit more masculine and Piney. I've only tried a few Roja's but it's the first one I really enjoyed.

Bois Du Portugal is beautiful stuff, great call!

Sometimes a buying freeze is the only way lol
