My humble collection
Hey y'all wanted to share my collection and thank the community for all the insightfull reviews. Started collecting in May 2024, pretty much all blind buys. Some of these I've gotten for my little brother and some for my dad. I've had most of these for over 6 months so they have def had time to mature.
Heres a quick rundown of my thoughts:
Polo Green: dad got this like 20 years ago, only a few drops left lol 7/10
Cool Water: nice and fresh but performance is terrible for me, can't smell at all after 30 min 5/10
9 pm: very sweet, a bit too much for me so I have it to my brother. I do really like it tho so I'll wear it sometimes 8/10
Cuba: got it as a gift a while ago, it's fine not really my style 3/10
Fakhar Black: great clone to Y, performance is meh so that brings it down a bit 7/10
Brut Gold OG: just got for my dad on Christmas for nostalgia, very clean and aromatic 8/10
Asad: nice and spicy, decent performance as well 7/10
CDNIM: not a fan, I get the lemon in the open which I like but after i only get a cigarette smoke in the drydown which I really don't like. Quite disappointed in this one, but it might be a bad batch 3/10
Mandarin Sky: my fav so far, orange and caramel work soo well together, good performance as well 9/10
Eros EDT: classic fresh vanilla, love it. I wish the performance was better tho 8/10
Qaed Al Fursan: pineapple forward, which I like. I layer it with CDNIM to make that more tolerable lol 8/10
Woody Oud: the one that started it all. Not really my style but still a good scent. Dad loves it tho 7/10
milestone: mostly love this one, watermelon+ocean is an amazing combo. However in the drydown sometimes I get a note of a musky middle eastern carpet store. 7/10
Hoping to make a dent in these this year to get more on Christmas lol. What I want next: designer frags- le male elixir, profundo, 1 million elixir Clones- detour noir, CDN untold, aqua Dubai
Thoughts? What else do you think I should get?
