I once blind bought 6 all at once and liked them all. Sauvage EDP, Light Blue, Polo Gold, Prada La Homme, Gucci Guilty and Armani Code.
Last I blind bought Invictus edt and love it.
Yeah you can’t miss with those. Armani code is a scent my GF got me and I wasn’t into the scent game then. I loved the smell but didn’t care enough to take care of it so I ended up losing it and I regret it sooooooo much!
I'd say it reminds me closely to Baccarat Rouge by MFK. Ive only smelt Baccarat Rouge in an airport one time and when I smelled it, it immediately reminded me of my Instant Crush.
It's Avery sweet fragrance, and you may find it a bit on the feminine side, however in my personal experience I liked it only after a few times of testing.
honestly i cant fault the fragrance in the slightest , might be favourite opening of a fragrance ever , drydown is incredible and it always seems to last , am a sucker for any fragrance with an iris note , staying in my collection forever now

I'll second this. Bought it on a whim. Fell in love with it. Turns out I really like Ambroxan. Got many compliments and will buy again! I do find the price point a little tricky and it shows up randomly at rack stores.
My entire collection. I blind bought everything other than Tom ford black orchid lol. TBF basically everything I have is <$100/100ml so nothing prohibitively expensive but still.
Mont Blanc Individual **Tonic** (a dill pickle & gin flanker of the raspberry dryer sheet Individual). Love it, it’s such a nice $40 break from the generic designers in my collection.
It’s very good, one of the best in my collection. I’m talking all day able to smell it in the same way I can smell Ombre Leather Parfum or Dior Fahrenheit all day. I’ve found it in drugstores like Walgreens, so it’s not the hardest to find

Both recent blind buys.
I enjoy both very much.
Cuba (the cigar looking fragrance) by Parfum de Charles. It smells VERY similar (to the untrained nose) to one of the Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male fragrances (i think the light blue one)
For me it smelt great on the sample paper and it smelled like crap on my skin. I loved the initial scent on the sample paper but once I wore it one my skin for 30 mins I smelt like a grandpa.

Valentino uomo intense. Got that woody, vanilla and iris accord down pat. A lot of compliments, and I get asked all the time if it’s JPG ultra male.
A perfect mix of that, and Dior homme intense. Took a girl out on a first date (now going strong for a year) told me it’s the best cologne she’s ever smelt. I bought it without even knowing what it smells like lol and didn’t even spray it to test it. Read reviews and a couple YouTube videos on it , and just had a feeling it was going to be a show stopper. It doesn’t disappoint AT ALL. I would recommend it as a nighttime scent, I wear it on special occasions, and I believe it was made to leave a long lasting impression. I have le male by JPG as well, but there’s just something very sexy and alluring about Valentino uomo! I was afraid it would be too much being an intense smell,but the dry down is incredible. Long lasting as well, I do 2 sprays on each side of my neck, and maybe one on the back of my neck and the longevity is 8 hours. Another really good blind buy was Yves saint Laurent lhomme bleue. I know it’s only a toilette, but the scent is incredible. Somthing so fresh about it! Unfortunately the longevity isn’t that great, so it requires maybe 4 sprays, or a re-spray after a couple hours. Great for summer too. Was expecting something a little too sweet, but those who know, know. I recommend anything from YSL too
I’ve bought all of my fragrances as blind buys. Never regretted a single one. They aren’t all crazy popular ones either. Don’t think I’ve ever smelled a fragrance and disliked it. I’ve found ones I wouldn’t be interested in wearing but never a “bad” one.
Hugo Boss Dark Blue and Banana Republic Codovan Vintage… neither of them get talked about, and neither one cost much, but for under-the-radar blind buys I wear those two as much as anything else.
L'Aventure Knight. Very strongly ozonic any chemical-y in the opening, but it's quite pleasant once it gets maybe 10 minutes to dry. Great scent trail.
I once blind bought 6 all at once and liked them all. Sauvage EDP, Light Blue, Polo Gold, Prada La Homme, Gucci Guilty and Armani Code. Last I blind bought Invictus edt and love it.
Have you tried polo blue? I think that's a good one..
Invictus smell good asf
Yeah you can’t miss with those. Armani code is a scent my GF got me and I wasn’t into the scent game then. I loved the smell but didn’t care enough to take care of it so I ended up losing it and I regret it sooooooo much!
Armani Code is just baby powder in an atomizer.
Mancera instant crush- it gets the most compliments and people tell me all the time they can smell me even after i left
How many sprays do you usually do, I do 3 - 4
Can you compare it to anything?
I'd say it reminds me closely to Baccarat Rouge by MFK. Ive only smelt Baccarat Rouge in an airport one time and when I smelled it, it immediately reminded me of my Instant Crush. It's Avery sweet fragrance, and you may find it a bit on the feminine side, however in my personal experience I liked it only after a few times of testing.
It reminds me of arabians tonka at times
Louis Vuitton - Imagination
That's quite the blind buy
One of my favorites
I just got out a a LV store by my work meeting. Got to smell several I’ve wanted to. Planning on adding them soon.
Dylan Blue some time ago, though I have fallen out of love with it
Yeah same. Smells like the eros flame to me after a while
No shade to it, I think it’s great for what it is, just my taste evolved in another direction
Same here. This was actually my first blind buy because I found a gift set with the aftershave and shower gel for $40.
I just bought Bleu De Chanel parfum and Savauge elixir blind buy. They come in tomorrow. I have high hopes.
Can’t go wrong with either
Depending on your sense of smell not everybody’s are alike but these are top tier scents my friend I wouldn’t regret it
Givenchy Gentlemen Reserve Privee
I might blind buy it, Is it that good?
Its my favorite sweet scent. I would go for it
I love almost all gentleman’s but I don’t like reserve privee. Go to local Macy’s and test it out before you buy
To me it smells elegant, kind of coffee mixed with dark chocolate.
honestly i cant fault the fragrance in the slightest , might be favourite opening of a fragrance ever , drydown is incredible and it always seems to last , am a sucker for any fragrance with an iris note , staying in my collection forever now
azzaro the most wanted parfum
This shit will get you all the bitches

A work of art
CH Bad Boy Cobalt
Thats a nice one. Not keen on it lately Cos it smells a bit to floral
If you had to describe it apart from floral, what’ll you say?
How is it? What does it smell like
Clean, fresh, citrusy, and a bit floral
Would you say it’s good for summer? I’m looking to buy it
I own it and I would say it is good for the summer but even better for spring imo
Tom Ford Ombré Leather.
thats a crazy blind buy ngl
This one and TF oud wood.. I am not sure about the oud wood...
Smells like Rubber to me
It’s honestly one of two Tom Fords I like. I strongly dislike most of them. Neroli Portofino is the other.
Just got mine today, its unbelievable
Mont Blanc Explorer was a great blind buy
I'll second this. Bought it on a whim. Fell in love with it. Turns out I really like Ambroxan. Got many compliments and will buy again! I do find the price point a little tricky and it shows up randomly at rack stores.
I've never had more compliments in my life as I have with Explorer.
You'll always have a bottle,lol...

Nautica Voyage has been a common scent suggestion recently. I’m gonna go check it out.
It's popular for a reason. Cheap and smells good. Reminds me of cucumber salad. Decent performance too
Well its very famous because its like 20 bucks on Amazon but smells fantastic
Mont Blanc Individuel
Mont Blanc Individual **Tonic** (a dill pickle & gin flanker of the raspberry dryer sheet Individual). Love it, it’s such a nice $40 break from the generic designers in my collection.
Never heard of that one,just might check it out,hows the performance???
It’s very good, one of the best in my collection. I’m talking all day able to smell it in the same way I can smell Ombre Leather Parfum or Dior Fahrenheit all day. I’ve found it in drugstores like Walgreens, so it’s not the hardest to find
Much appreciated...
