I am seeing a lot of "orange" scent comments, but to me, I smell a lot of Iris scent in it?

It actually starts off with a boozy, almost rum-like scent as you put it on. But that dries down to the most austere leather-and-smoky-vetiver I have ever smelled. I would swear there's a note of...

Love this scent! Great for summer, better for day, but good for night as well. I’ve worn it for 10 years and never had it go bad. I would say it is more masculine, clean and almost classic. I...

Pour Homme is very pleasant scent that once you apply, you have the clean and fresh showered feeling. I am a big fan of Salvatore Ferragamo fragrances and have many to chose from. Free Time has...

I absolutely LOVE this fragrance! It's not heavy, and is more of a natural soap smell than an actual eau de parfum smell. If they bottled a bar of Ivory soap this would be it. I live in an...

I've often read about "rotations" and I'm curious as to what they are?

How can one build a proper "rotation"?

Well, I would divide fragrance into several categories and choose the appropriate cologne:

summer-citrus/aquatic
fall-spicy
winter-woody
spring-green/grassy
workplace-inoffensive/conservative
evening-suggestive/romantic

To me "rotation" would simply mean having a couple of bottles of frags opened to use on whatever occassion to suit a particular mood. eg, for myself, i have about 10 bottles which i rotate about according to mood or occassion. Some ppl prefer sticking to just 1-2 of their fave scents, some like myself have a pechant for the fickle use of a "couple" of fave scents

Some like Dimitri would back up a world war ration Lp no9

and Maz24 would have Creed Imperial spawn like bunnies

I used to favor the idea of getting as many diff scents as posible but found backing up to be more satisfying and i have started on my fahrenheit storage

as to how you build your rotation is really up to your unique taste. You may find the need for a specific scent for one occassion and another scent for yet another occassion. Simply your wardrobe of opened bottles of frags could account for your rotation purpose.

thats how i see it tho, any another input?
