Ghetto Frag

post #1 of 12

Thread Starter 
What I like to call my "Ghetto Frag" is Armani Attitude. It's what I wear when I am uber casual. I have found that I go through this stuff like water when I wear it. I use 8-10 squirts on the chest, arms, back of neck and head (I shave the dome). Still an hour or two later my sillage is virtually gone. In your opinion is 8-10 not enough of Attitude or does Attitude just suck?

This thread isn't exactly what I was expecting (a chance to state how I think Bvlgari Black literally smells like a ghetto), but I concur with you about the Armani Attitude. It is a really nice cherry/vanilla pipe tobacco scent, but those candied notes go away so quick and it shoots straight to a somewhat unexciting musk, then goes away completely. I was going to buy it until this kept happening over and over.

Now back to Bvlgari Black... It smells like downtown Detroit. Tires, dumpsters, asphalt, construction, and people...all coming together to blend into something not exactly unplesant. An acquired taste, for sure. But very "homey" in the same way, as I have a lot of family that live in Hamtramck, a Polish sector of Detroit.

LLOLOLOLOLOL

AND it's true!
A true mystery Bvlgari Black is to me, cause I like nearly everything else they released.
Eager to smell the new Aqva Marine.

My frag that I ran thru like nothing (20 sprays like nothing) was both Nautica classic and Polo Sport, after getting boxset upon boxsets of both in HS.

4 squirts of Bogart Pour Homme and you wake up the next day in a former Motel 6 (now run by a family of turbaned Sasquach with insane dietic habits). You are nekkid and on your back in a bathtub full of ice, your lower body hair all having been harvested and you are sporting a huge full color round-the-neck tattoo of climbing ivy.

3 squirts max, folks.

I was going to suggest bogart pour homme, but that's been done, so I'll suggest Campagna's Vento Canale, which is more of the same, but even better - and lasting.

Are you guys talking about the Bogart from the seventies or the 2004 PH? I have only tried the 2004 and it is the worst Bogart I have tried (not bad though).

I have to admit that it was long time ago that I tried OMS but I did like it at least back then.

Armani has very very low longevity and sillage.

Avoid it.
