Have I misjudged Pluriel?!?!?
Something about this one didn't click with me before, but as I wear it tonight, I am wowed.
Wow!

Jeroboam Boha.
insanely good...wowed by that, first one from Jeroboam I've tried and was not disappointed
if you're looking for something different try that
Le Lion is the best thing I have smelled in quite a while. Definitely the best thing tried for the first time in 2021. I tried vintage Opium Pour Homme EDP for the first time this year also, and that is a close second.
Rosendo Mateu - 5
This is one of those fragrance where I see that a nose can develop and preference change in time. I ordered this sample maybe 7 or 8 months ago and was not overly impressed. I put it aside with the intention to come back later to it since I felt I did have a quality product in my hands.
Thus, I recently skimmed through all my samples to sort them (and even throw some away).
When I arrived at this on, god was I drawn into it. I could not stop smelling it. It is so refined and comforting. So elegant! Very happy to rediscover it properly

Not just me then! I sampled this a few times in the past and it never clicked for me either. Inspired by a recent 'Modern Fougere' thread I decided to buy a 10ml sample and as you say, "WOW!" How I didn't see the beauty of this one before is beyond me - it's fantastic...!
I was impressed by the race car scent!!

Wearing Eau des Baux for the first time in a while. One one hand you have this vanilla and cinnamon gourmand note, but it's balanced with cedar and juniper perfectly. It's like you're sitting by the fire in some cozy lodge, drinking a chai or something. Loving it.
Amouroud - Oud After Dark
so good
Apparently, I'm on an MFK kick lately. I've been going through samples at night, and tonight, it's MFK's Oud. Holy moly is this stuff good. It's a wow!

Heresy is the latest "wow" factor fragrance for me.

The florals are always wow in the vintage
I don't know what's changed, but this L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme is impressing me like I've never experienced before maybe.
I just received what appears to be a legit likely 90's bottle that I opened myself. It smells great, and there's a sweetness or something I don't recall picking up in the past with different bottles.
Quite nice... Hopefully I'll keep this one?![]()

Something about this. I can't get enough of it. It definitely reminds me of both Vetiver Extrait and Elysium Parfum Cologne. So close to ordering a bottle! Really trying to fight it and test more to see if there is absolutely anything I hate about it to give me a reason not to buy it!

Doused myself with the 2007 formulation of Guerlain SDV, it's unfortunate it's no longer available.

Bete Humaine by Les Liquides Imaginaires - big wow.

Gave a full wearing to Paco Rabanne Invictus and discovered that it smells nothing like what I thought it would smell like based on all the fragrances that are supposedly copying it. Wow.
Seems its more so the Invictus Aqua DNA that is being rolled out by other brands
Electimuss - Auster
amazing
Chanel - Egoiste
The current release, on cloth, from yesterday - 6 sprays.
It's just perfect, like in the good old days.
