I got that sleeve as a freebie when I bought Bois d'Armenie.

Soured would be too strong a word. Actually I still like it a lot. However, I'm looking to reduce, and felt I could do without it. To be honest, I've been thinking of replacing it with Bigarade...

They are obviously doing something different with their business strategy / distribution. You are also never going to find Hermessence at discounters.
It is what it is ..... what is your point?

Would your answer change if you moved from one city to another, or to a different country?

Update 2/27/2021

I ordered decants of Valentino Uomo Intense and CH Men Prive, so I thought I'd post some updates.

CH Men Prive - This doesn't smell well off the cap. On skin it is a...

For you I'd suggest Gris Dior (previously Gris Montaigne). It's a nice dry floral perfume, chypre-ish.

One could add a lot of points here, but here are some popular brands with no or very few discontinuations -

Chanel
Hermes
Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle
Etat Libre d'Orange
Parfums de...

Classic Orange by Von Eusersdorff

I haven't tried Bon Monsieur, but I can't imagine liking it any less than the version of Beau de Jour now available.

I looked at my most-worn and filtered for fresh fragrances, and these are the ones I've worn the most (at least 10 times) -

Infusion d'Homme / Infusion d'Iris Cedre
Grey Vetiver
Vetiver...

I'd say Fahrenheit Parfum.

How about Diptyque Tempo? It's a non-sweet greenish patchouli.

Okay, thanks!

How do you find the sillage/projection compared to Coromandel?

15+ sprays of Havana

+1.

I usually go with 7-10 sprays with Creeds.

How big is your room?

To be honest, that sounds like quite a bit of exaggeration.

P.S. How many sprays?

Now that I've tried Au Coeur du Desert and worn it a few times, I'm so frustrated. This smells great, is long-lasting but hardly projects. Why????

I'd suggest two from CdG - Vettiveru and Odeur 71.

I care a lot about my post count, certainly much more than non-issues like climate change. Especially since I figured that my post count has 80-90% correlation with how many matches I get on Tinder,...

So glad we swapped it, don't miss it at all!

6-8 sprays typically. However, often times this could be 15-20 for lighter scents in hot weather.

P.S. Forgot about Geranium pour Monsieur

Millesime Imperial between the two.

I usually go with Infusion d'Iris Cedre (formerly Infusion d'Homme) or Vetiver Extraordinaire.

I tend to do so, but also like to mix it up. Often I wear lighter/fresher scents in winter. Sometimes I'd wear heavier scents in summer, but that's more rare. It also depends a lot on humidity. In...

Fahrenheit (since I no longer have Cool Water).

This.

I'd suggest these -

Nicolai Patchouli Intense
Mazzolari Patchouli (could be a sweet)
Coze 02 (you could decide if this is office friendly or not, I think it is)
Heritage EdT

Did you follow the washing/drying instructions? If so, this shouldn't happen.

Again, will recommend G-Star. Diesel is good, too. I never liked Paige (never owned any pair, only seen/tried out at...

Eau de Minthe ... really? I'm asking because I find Eau de Minthe to be much, much better compared to Sauvage or Beau de Jour.

Neither.

I always enjoyed this one in summer, the florals and the musk really bloom in the heat.
Another suggestion would be Un Jardin Sur Le Nil. It satisfies all your criteria in terms of notes. In fact,...

Aqua Amara is quite nice, though prices are creeping up.

Else perhaps look into Aramis New West or Dunhill Icon.

I have used 50-60 ml of it, and have additional 300 ml in 30 ml and 100 ml sizes.

It's at the top, at the very top.

Perfection. Sublime.

Agree on all counts.

A big yes.

Joop! Jump!

blood-orange gave it an intriguing review back in the day

I didn't use to but these days I do have. I currently have around 150 bottles (including backups), and would like to reduce that to 30-40.
