Today though I’m wearing Xerjoff Uden Overdose which is very nice, as this arrived after I’d applied

Tried a couple of the Penhaligon's LFC.
The Tragedy of Lord George is kind of boozy and slightly sweet. Saw a review that said it reminded them a little of MMM Jazz Club on first spray which isn't a bad shout. Another review mentioned the vanilla is done much better in Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille. Nice, but nothing special.
Much Ado About the Duke is more interesting. Got a cold gin/rose smell which is surprisingly good imo. Not a floral/sweet fragrance person, but keep going back to this.
Out of interest, what Tom Ford Private Blend do people recommend. Sure I've tried a few, but can't recall which.

Just the samples. Little expensive, but interesting approach as you can put the cost towards one of the full bottles.
Btw, any sample recommendations from Nose Paris? Figured I'd try something different from my usual Wood notes.

Thanks bung. Really wasn’t sure if it was going to be for me with the floral notes but I’m so impressed with it.
What did you get? I try loads of stuff but normally just aim for things with notes in that I know I like so normally works out well. I have Penhaligons Halfeti which is really nice. Might be putting it up for sale actually because it’s going further down the pecking order
Yeah I should add I got it with 10% off and 3 free samples of my choice which is pretty rare and suppose more worth the wait.
I feel I'm playing it very safe when I read some of LFC's picks. Actually got a bunch of a samples in from Nose.fr with some Penhaligons in there just to try something a bit 'different' .

That No5 sounds interesting, there is stock about though via net/Belgium.

I’m a fan of Jazz Club but did get a little bored of it from wearing it so much so that one sounds quite nice.
That Duke one sounds interesting. Will try that when I go Chester store again.
From TF private I like Costa Azzurra probably best. Not the acqua version though. Amazing for summer. Beau de jour has just moved from private blend to signature line so can be had for a better price now. Oud Wood is always good if not a bit played out now(to me anyway). I tried Soleil Blanc last year for summer but I just get a bit of a sun cream vibe from it and wasn’t that impressed.
Edit: just to add I also like Mandarino di Amalfi and Azure Lime. Both really good citrus scents but staying power on my skin isn’t beast mode.

I'm getting sick of spending so much on aftershaves and then hardly using them when I find another I like haha. Which are the best replica sites in the UK? Any recommendations?
Also, not sure where to put this but any recommendations for nice candles or preferably diffusers? I'd like something for the office

Recommend Eau Sacree by Heeley if anyone's looking for an incense scent that could still work through Spring. Got a bottle from End for 35% off.
Another big recommendation is Ganymede by Marc Antoine Barrois. Fairly safe with the fragrances I buy so this might not be as mind-blowing to others, but this smells amazing. A really bracing, sea smell. With cool, crisp fruit in there and some leather in the background
Also got some samples from Kingdom Scotland. Portal, Albaura and Metamorphic. Albaura's the more interesting one as it's like iced berries, but all smell really high quality. Portal for those woods and Metamorphic for booze and smoke.

Heard good things about Kingdom. Did you go for the discovery set?
Still waiting on my Rosendo No.5, should be here this week or next for sure

That’s cool being able to take the price off a full bottle.
Personally there isn’t much I’d try at the minute(from Nose) I’d recommend Jovoy for samples over Nose to be honest. I’ve got some coming buy a brand called Gissah which has been hyped for the bottle design in the frag groups. Notes sound interesting with different fruits being used for top notes over amber, leather and oud.
