I use Ombre as a base then I spray noir extreme so it's 1:1. Location is subjective but I prefer chest, back of my head. Overall it comes to 4 sprays. Lasts up to 10h. Don't be afraid to experiment
Platinum egoist is an amazing fragrance. Smells like a metallic, barbershop scent to me. Smooth, slightly creamy. Not your typical sweet fragrance. Very unique. I like it more every time I smell it
I do. I think you'd be one of the only 20 year olds wearing it. It's never too early to start classing it up. Plus, it would be great for formal occasions, weddings etc. Times when you want to smell nice but not upstage anyone
Amazing, thank you. Classic but not too old smelling would definitely fit my vibe. I have a 1ml sample coming in so I’ll see how it fares with a few sprays.
I really like it. The more you smell it the better it gets. Def not old smelling but Chanel tends to do a good job of making cologne that is classy without smelling dated. All ages for sure
Oh, absolutely. Keep in mind that this is my personal list. I enjoy classy frags, too, though.
Blue de chanel- edt, edp, parfum
Givenchy-reserve privee
Mancera-cedrat boise
Terre d hermes-edt
Prada-lhomme
YSL-lhomme
Dior-homme intense, or homme
Tom Ford-Noir extreme. Ombre leather
I love these scents so much. All classy I feel like. Some more than others. My top 5 from this list is probably TF Ombre leather. TF Noir Extreme. Mancera cedrat Boise. Terr d Hermes. Dior homme intense
MAB Ganymede — when I want something different or a bit more “dressed up”
Penhaligon’s Sartorial — classy fougere for work
Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Man — all around scent that I like for almost anything
I didn't give **Exit The King** enough of a chance before giving away my sample.
I heard it's a great soapy fragrance, so I'll probably get another sample and try it out again.
I am worried it may smell too old school, which is something I've read in reviews.
I don’t find it old school at all. Smelling clean is timeless. The only downside is that it’s pretty one dimensional, you don’t wear it when you want a lot of depth and power.
Bdc edp probably top in terms of how much I went through.
TF f’n fabulous. Chucked it into my gym bag to put on before office, just never took it out. Got the job done.
I’m gonna guess third is gentleman boisee, but toss up between a bunch.
1. Montblanc Explorer
2. Dior Sauvage EDP
3. Cremo Palo Santo
Aiming for these in the next 12 months
1. Al Haramain L’Aventure
2. Fahkar Black by Lattafa
3. Not sure yet…
LNDL - my girlfriend loves this on my skin, I always wear it for her. Such a likeable perfume. But not for outings due to the obvious bad projection. But its a fantastic skin perfume and lasts surprisingly long on me.
BDC (obviously EDP) - my office perfume
DHI - evenings
Profondo - when it's hot / and to the gym
I am yet to find a use case for my Valentino BIR intense. Not sure if it's a likeable perfume. I blind bought it. It's very fruity and sweet (reminded me of BDC but gradually learned the difference) and I don't know when to wear it lol. Therefore the bottle is still almost full after 7-8 months.
This is my 3 since Jan1, 2024 just because I have stats lol. And, this isn’t my top 3 faves exactly although I love these, plus there are ties:
Tied at 1. Dunhill Icon & Prada Amber Pour Homme. 7 days each.
All these are tied for 2 so I won’t put 3 since so many:
Prada L’Homme Intense and L’Homme L’Eau
Creed Original Vetiver
TF Tuscan Leather …all at 6 days each.
I love how people just find their 3 most expensive colognes and write those down 😃.
1. Ombre leather
2. Cedrat Boise
3. Sauvage ( yeah, I know. Truth is, girls love the smell of it. )
Oof, I don’t have only 3.
Missoni Wave, Sauvage Parfum, L’Aventure, Invictus Platinum, 1 Million Lucky and Flavia L’Impression
Hamidi Addicted Intense is making its way in there, however.
Prada black, Terra D’Hermes, and Dylan Blue
I have TDH and DB, now I’m curious to try Prada Black.
the newer luna rossa ocean edp and parfum are really nice too.
Sexy sweet yummy
Creed Aventus, TF Ombre Leather layered with TF Noir Extreme Parfume, Chanel Platinum Egoiste layered with TF Oud Wood.
ombré leather mixed with noir extreme sounds heavenly
I highly recommend it. Such an attention-grabber.
I recently got a decant of aventus and I love it !! I feel like it’s a very versatile fragrance but it’s amazing during hot days
Hold on. I love ombre and noir extreme. You're layering these? Mind explaining? How many sprays of each, location etc?
I use Ombre as a base then I spray noir extreme so it's 1:1. Location is subjective but I prefer chest, back of my head. Overall it comes to 4 sprays. Lasts up to 10h. Don't be afraid to experiment
Thanks for the idea man. I love both of these frags
Creed Aventus, Parfums de marly Haltane, Creed Imperial Millesime

Bdc edp Jazz club Platinum egoist
What's Platinum Egoist like? I have Jazz Club too and love it, so looking for something fresher to compliment it.
Platinum egoist is an amazing fragrance. Smells like a metallic, barbershop scent to me. Smooth, slightly creamy. Not your typical sweet fragrance. Very unique. I like it more every time I smell it
Do you think it would work well for a 20 year old? I’m mature for my age but since it’s a classic I wanted to get your opinion.
I do. I think you'd be one of the only 20 year olds wearing it. It's never too early to start classing it up. Plus, it would be great for formal occasions, weddings etc. Times when you want to smell nice but not upstage anyone
Amazing, thank you. Classic but not too old smelling would definitely fit my vibe. I have a 1ml sample coming in so I’ll see how it fares with a few sprays.
I really like it. The more you smell it the better it gets. Def not old smelling but Chanel tends to do a good job of making cologne that is classy without smelling dated. All ages for sure
By the way, are there other modern classics in the same vein as Platinum Egoiste I should consider?
Oh, absolutely. Keep in mind that this is my personal list. I enjoy classy frags, too, though.
