I loved this meandering all over the place video.....I always think of you as a le labo man. I might need to change that to a cartier man.....oooh I think I know why bombay bling was not what you expected. I'm pretty sure it wasnt bombay bling. I think I gave that one away because it had tuberose in it (during a time when I HATED tuberose) I had an extra one, maybe neral, or something like that, so threw it into the box with the rest....yes I like copala from xinu- your scent memory of that rainstorm in mexico city is definitely something to cherish....a boy in an italian graveyard stealing things! hahah, those are the best types of associations.....cheers, my dear.

@@kellylyons7611 I could wear Cartier and Le Labo every day! but I am trying to be a more adventurous boy. I checked the vial - it was Bombay Bling! Do you find the Xinu fragrances to be a little too synthetic, too? I know i do, but I seem to enjoy them anyway, for now.

@@zambowman really? Well hell now I’m curious which ones are in the box. Haha……copala being synthetic? Hmmm, I don’t remember that aspect to it- granted, I probably haven’t worn it in probably 2 years. I’ll dig into my closet and report back.

Hey Sam. Looks like your nose has been busy. I sampled Benjoin 19 and found it inferior to another designer patchouli fragrance I already have. Cartier Oud & Rose is a tough wear that can come across as a diaper. Currently I'm enjoying Lancome Miracle Homme which is perfumey and musky that smells addictive in the air and the morning after. Testing out a Kilian STH Extreme clone for a month now and it's turning into a full bottle soon. Backed up a bottle of Dior Leather Oud. Once I find a backup of Feve Delicieuse the Dior brand is dead to me lol.

@@markjacoby5607 yes, the oud & rose is challenging, but i truly love it when i’m wearing it out and about, not sitting around my apartment, stewing in my own cartier funk. i have heard a few people say that lancome is nice. still don’t think i’ll ever be into the more boozy By Kilians. Leather Oud sounds like an expensive and rare find… congrats!! My favorite from the Privée line is Jasmin Des Anges.

STH Extreme is like cool mint chocolate chip in the opening then dries to a white chocolate wet woody patchouli on my skin. Not too sweet like the other boozy offerings from the house. Miracle Homme is natural smelling like second skin. I lucked out on a sale with the Leather Oud. I have tried a clone of Leather Oud and it was 98% similar to my 2012 bottle for 1/20th of the price so I probably don’t need a 3rd bottle for this lifetime. My Cartier Oud & Rose only comes out during the winter… once.. when it is sub 10 degrees for daytime outdoors lol.

@@markjacoby5607 I'm guessing your collection is a smidge larger than mine, but I totally know the feeling of those fragrances we have with VERY specific use cases 🤣

I hope your altitude sickness gets better. Did you try dramamine???? you just need to get the NON DROWSY or you’ll be sleeping! Anywhooo.. I have a Lush across the street from me so I will have to try Salty!

I see you say you like more fem-leaning fragrances, try Tom Ford Beau de Jour to see if you like that one, that one is very sharp fresh masculine lavander fougere, i love that one a lot

@@SPACEDOUT19 i do like beau de jour! i find that one pretty unisex though. it’s the über masculine releases that are a tough sell for me… think PDM or Aventus.

Did you take any altitude medication in Mexico City? I went to Machu Picchu and was taking some altitude sickness meds and that made me unable to taste any food. Now I wonder if the meds + the high altitude itself did a one-two punch on my taste buds. At the time I wasn't into fragrances so didn't pay attention to my sense of smell or how it was functioning.

@@deluxelex9056 nope! i didn’t anticipate having ill effects until i got there. they were very mild though; mexico city is at 7500 feet. can’t imagine how I would have felt in Macchi Picchu!!
