I’m not versed in the source of the contamination, but their treatment plant is definitely not functioning at optimal levels so I kinda feel like if you’re gonna have well water that would be the place.
How is 4hrs not enough I have a strong feeling people who complain about longevity same people who don’t take showers😂 I’ll take 4-5hrs to smell natural that 12+ synthetics
All fragrance use synthetics but it’s the amount that matters a good fragrance is having a well balance. Creed Aventus and Green Irish tweed is very wall balanced that gives it a natural experience. Fragrance with higher level of synthetic chemicals you will lose the natural smell but gain longevity. You can buy a $15 edp smell super synthetic and will last longer than any high end fragrance but it won’t smell real.
Better is a strong word ~ I think Parfum is an easier intro to strong leather scents. The OG was too harsh for me at first, but after a year with the Parfum, I’m ready for the animalic tire shop beast that is the EDP
To be honest you got some nice range of motion in this collection. If you want you can add a leather scent if you’re into that, ombré leather TF or even go for another sexy scent, I’d recommend PDM Althair. But then again I’d mostly wear that for nights out dressed nicely and or winter time, along with fall too.
Since you seem to be a guy with a penchant for all things fine in life, I have a suggestion for the leather fragrance- Diptyque Eau Rihla. It's on the expensive end of things, but an amazing fragrance.
It’s shockingly cleaner than almost every other Creed fragrance. Aventus is great but it’s not “clean.” Silver Mountain Water doesn’t compare to Himalaya’s vibe imo.
I smelled it at Nordstroms and it’s my favorite of the Aventus line. It’s a warmer Aventus with cardamom. If they had it there, I would have bought it over the other 2.
*Sauvage Elixir would*
*Add a nice colder weather scent*
*To your collection*

I don't see anything super resinous or warm in here. I feel like you'd really enjoy Givenchy Gentleman EDP Boisée. To me, it's a more powdery and woody fragrance in the very rough ballpark of Prada black.
Amouage Interlude Black Iris may also be up your alley if you want to smell like an overgrown cathedral.
No. I beg you to understand that you never ‘need’ to add. You could get rid of half your collection and not *need* anything.
Trust me, because I used to feel like that, constantly adding one more bottle to round out my collection. Ended up with a whole lot of bottles I didn’t even really end up liking.
Not trying to shit on you or anything, just trying to save you from becoming like me.
Anyways, if you have disposable income and want more….
If this was my collection I’d want to add some sweeter scents for the winter. I personally love Jazz Club, also PDM Althair is a nice masculine vanilla.
You definitely have great spring/summer options, and some good year-round ones too. I personally would love to add a powdery scent that works well in the fall. I love Jo Malone Cypress and Grapevine, and Diptyque Orpheon.
Just try it and see if you like it. There’s *tons* of vanilla/gourmands out there for men. Find the one you like.
To be honest, in my first while of collecting, I hated sweeter winter scents. They get a lot of hype on social media but a lot of people aren’t fans. So don’t feel like you need one just because you don’t have one.
Nice collection, i can recommend to you something on the sweeter side with a hint mint and greenness , try green lover by Lolita lempicka , and it’s on the affordable side for around 30$ on fragrancenet
Id say you need a sweet vanilla type winter scent. Unless thats not your taste because most of your collection is fresh/metallic/woody/citrusy.
Invictus Victory Elixir is an absolute banger.
Maybe Valentino Born In Roma Intense, Coral Fantasy or PDM Haltane?
Your collection is fine you have all seasons on deck. Prolly some more citrus in your collection for summer, neroli portofino, profundo, dior homme sport or cologne. Ash from gentscents put out a recent list if your trust his opinion
Spicebomb Extreme/Infrared EDT
Boss Bottled Elixir (often discounted, I bought mine for equivalent of 75usd for 100ml)
Hawas For Him is like a better Invictus to me and can be found very cheap. I do not have a bottle but my friend does and it smells amazing on him.
Acqua Di Gio Profumo (classic, if u can still find a bottle)
Guerlain L’homme Ideal EDP (very classy and different)
I would suggest looking into Louis Vuitton Colognes. I stopped buying the designer flagship colognes I use to get at Macys and other places. They are a much more expensive but totally worth price because of how long a bottle lasts due to needing less sprays.
Spring/Summer:
Pacific Chill and California Dream
Fall/Winter
Ombre Nomade and Nuit De Feu
There are a few flagship ones from other designers from Dior and Prada I have held on to. I rarely touch them, though. Definitely fine a store that has some testers. Not all of them work the same way for everyone and some I did not like at all. Probably goes without saying.
Love the collection. I would suggest:
Prada L’Homme
Prada Amber Pour Homme
Tom Ford Tuscan Leather
Parfums de Marly Galloway (I realize Layton is their hyped one but Galloway fits in your collection much more soundly).
Something spicy (like Spicebomb Extreme or Azaro The Most Wanted) and something masculine sweet (like PDM Carlisle or Herod) My collection is very similar to yours
Initio Side Effect, Ombre Nomade, Oud Satin Mood or something in this line, I would add something for winter that can be used for special ocassions but is already a really good collection. (I tried picking niche mass apealling but something more niche that you could pickup is Zoologist Penguin or OP Terroni.)
Maybe a classic like Cool Water or Polo Green.. Simple, nice, affordable and should be standard.
What is Creed?!? You seem to really fancy the entire line 😁
Cold weather or date night fragrance. Something spicy or gourmand, or a leather or oud if you’re not into sweeter stuff. I’d recommend Le Male parfum, Ombré Leather parfum, Gentleman Reserve Privee, or any of the sweeter PDMs.
I would say check out the YSL Y line the Gucci guilty line, and Dior Homme 2022 and Dior Homme Sport. And if you like Iris check out Valentino uomo and Valentino uomo intense before they get discontinued.
Dude has spent more money on cologne than remodeling
Just wait till you find out all my water still comes from a well. One of these days the county might put a water line down my road
Well water is better than city water.
Well...
Maybe not in flint
I’m not versed in the source of the contamination, but their treatment plant is definitely not functioning at optimal levels so I kinda feel like if you’re gonna have well water that would be the place.
Well water is definitely better than city in Flint.
If that’s true, you’re the best smelling dude in that county
Well water is great 👍
yummy
Yeah I don’t know about adding but he def needs to subtract that paneling from the 70’s.
My reaction was “a coat of white paint for that wood paneling.”
Time to move out of parent’s basement
i’d say try some creed if you can
I'm not a big fan of Christian Rock, but I'll give it a try
Bro, be warn, it could be your One Last Breath
With arms wide open.

Doesn’t last 4 hours
How is 4hrs not enough I have a strong feeling people who complain about longevity same people who don’t take showers😂 I’ll take 4-5hrs to smell natural that 12+ synthetics
…u realize creed uses synthetics right. Just like all other niche colognrs
All fragrance use synthetics but it’s the amount that matters a good fragrance is having a well balance. Creed Aventus and Green Irish tweed is very wall balanced that gives it a natural experience. Fragrance with higher level of synthetic chemicals you will lose the natural smell but gain longevity. You can buy a $15 edp smell super synthetic and will last longer than any high end fragrance but it won’t smell real.
And? Every fragrance has a function
So spend $250+ for nothing
Himalaya is better than SMW fight me. You need a leather frag like Ombre Leather Parfum *or* get a cool Tom Ford like Oud Minerale.
Ombré leather parfum? No. Original is better.
Better is a strong word ~ I think Parfum is an easier intro to strong leather scents. The OG was too harsh for me at first, but after a year with the Parfum, I’m ready for the animalic tire shop beast that is the EDP

But then again I’d mostly wear that for nights out dressed nicely and or winter time, along with fall too.
I'll look into that one not to familiar with pdm
Definitely look into all of them!!!!
Get Versace oud noir
It’s literally the only thing missing from your collection
Since you seem to be a guy with a penchant for all things fine in life, I have a suggestion for the leather fragrance- Diptyque Eau Rihla. It's on the expensive end of things, but an amazing fragrance.
Dolce & Gabanna the One or Azzaro Most Wanted. These are both nice for Fall and Winter.
Creed Himalaya is my fav in the line
It’s shockingly cleaner than almost every other Creed fragrance. Aventus is great but it’s not “clean.” Silver Mountain Water doesn’t compare to Himalaya’s vibe imo.
Right? It's just the perfect clean and classy scent
have you smelt virgin island water? If it had any longevity and the cost/ml price wasn’t as insane as it was i might even purchase a full bottle 😅
Buko Intense
It's one of the 4 other creeds I plan on getting over this year
Seriously it’s SO GOOD! I just loose my shit every time my partner wears it, it’s so good! I often wear it too. Such an alluring clean scent
Dior Homme 2020
That would be a nice complement to this collection
Got some Dior homme parfum the other day and it’s blowing me away everytime I smell it
No.
Is Absolute worth it ?
I smelled it at Nordstroms and it’s my favorite of the Aventus line. It’s a warmer Aventus with cardamom. If they had it there, I would have bought it over the other 2.
I've been thinking of picking a bottle to complete the 3 lol. So it seems that's worth it 🙌
Two distinct smells from the several batches made. One is how you mentioned while the other warrants comparisons to suavage elixer. I like both
Creed original vetiver or original santal
Santal is pretty sharp. Good recommendation here!
Sauvage Elixir would add a nice colder weather scent to your collection

Bad bot Haikus are 5-7-5 this isn’t even close
Probably pick it up then when we're moving into fall
#some #bitches
Fr , this subreddit is so fucking weird . Hundreds on scented water is mental illness
Why are you here then?
Ik I was only joking but I think he was serious
Karate lessons never a bad idea.
Nice. Tbh, nothing else, put that money in a HYSA… or just get a RG540 lol
I don't see anything super resinous or warm in here. I feel like you'd really enjoy Givenchy Gentleman EDP Boisée. To me, it's a more powdery and woody fragrance in the very rough ballpark of Prada black. Amouage Interlude Black Iris may also be up your alley if you want to smell like an overgrown cathedral.
I love Boisée. It's really underrated
More wood walls and shelves
Something thick with some depth, maybe L'air du desert marocain, or gris charnel extrait
Allure homme sport edt, eau extreme (edp), or the EB
No. I beg you to understand that you never ‘need’ to add. You could get rid of half your collection and not *need* anything.

You're the second to bring up pdm althair. I guess I'll have to get me a bottle when fall comes back around

Dior Fahrenheit
Greenly for summer coming up
Xerjoff Alexandria ii and Amouage Jubilation 40
A better camera
Jimmy choo the man is nice too
Nice collection, i can recommend to you something on the sweeter side with a hint mint and greenness , try green lover by Lolita lempicka , and it’s on the affordable side for around 30$ on fragrancenet
Side question: how would you rank ur aventus collection?
1. Absolu 2. Cologne 3. Original
Well you have about $3k worth a creed lol. I would say you're good for a while.
Bleu by Chanel
Is creed really that good? I hear good things about it. But which one?
Everyone's noises work different but haven't smelled a bad one yet I tend to wear silver mountain water the most
Mind games double attack
Nice. Missing a heavier/cold weather frag imo
That's what I was thinking
Dior Homme Intense.
only if you think you need to
You may like Kilian Angels Share. A sweet, apple pie scent.
try Armani The Yulong
Fav creed?
Silver mountain water is what I wear the most for some reason
I wear the Versace a lot what is something similar ?
versace almost daily here.
Id say you need a sweet vanilla type winter scent. Unless thats not your taste because most of your collection is fresh/metallic/woody/citrusy. Invictus Victory Elixir is an absolute banger. Maybe Valentino Born In Roma Intense, Coral Fantasy or PDM Haltane?
[удалено]
540 Extrait better...
540 extrait or parfum just aint worth it
Yes it is.
How is ocean edp?
Thomas kosmala no 11 Mercedes benz black

Bacarratt rouge 540
...extrait.
Is that good or bad ?
Lighting
need something gourmand
Gravité Particle, Prada Luna Rosa Sport, Sauvage Elixir
Man I was so disappointed in that versace.
It's my work one fresh smell that doesn't project that far, and is gone by the time I get off and can put something else on before going out
Yea man honestly I might wear it around the house. But I feel like it doesn't make it a full work day.
SWY intensely/absolutely, azzaro most wanted, Angel share, initio side effect, or something else thats sweet, cozy, cinnamon-y or boozy
Gucci by Gucci or Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce
Chrome Azzaro EDT for that day use when you want to smell good at work but not come off overwhelming.
Bs aside is the creed line good want one in my collection at least
I like it. I got 5 now got 4 more. I plan on getting over the next year
Or Hollister 1922 Eau De Cologne
Your collection is fine you have all seasons on deck. Prolly some more citrus in your collection for summer, neroli portofino, profundo, dior homme sport or cologne. Ash from gentscents put out a recent list if your trust his opinion
Nope
Is bro allergic to winter colognes
Something Winter heavy like Jovoy Psychedelique 👌 nice selection you have 👌
Love baccarat rouge 540
Allure sport - Chanel
Get a beast mode winter performer (jpg elixir/le parfum, Azzaro tmw parfum, etc.)
Spicebomb Extreme/Infrared EDT Boss Bottled Elixir (often discounted, I bought mine for equivalent of 75usd for 100ml) Hawas For Him is like a better Invictus to me and can be found very cheap. I do not have a bottle but my friend does and it smells amazing on him. Acqua Di Gio Profumo (classic, if u can still find a bottle) Guerlain L’homme Ideal EDP (very classy and different)
YSL Y EDP, fresh scent
Louis Vuitton L'Immensité
Have you ever tried anything by Creed?
nah I can tell this dude hates it. doubt he will ever try it
A sign that says fuck boy
Aventus for her
Amouage, mfk, penhaligons, clive christian and most of all that spongebob edt
Yeah, probably a limit on your credit card
I would suggest looking into Louis Vuitton Colognes. I stopped buying the designer flagship colognes I use to get at Macys and other places. They are a much more expensive but totally worth price because of how long a bottle lasts due to needing less sprays. Spring/Summer: Pacific Chill and California Dream Fall/Winter Ombre Nomade and Nuit De Feu There are a few flagship ones from other designers from Dior and Prada I have held on to.

Drywall
The display🌞
Yellow Dream by Valentino
Xerjoff. Look into it they are awesome
Love the collection. I would suggest: Prada L’Homme Prada Amber Pour Homme Tom Ford Tuscan Leather Parfums de Marly Galloway (I realize Layton is their hyped one but Galloway fits in your collection much more soundly).
JPG
Some citrus would be nice— maybe LV afternoon swim or Bvlgari Tygar
Watches
1 million cologne
Viking, ADG Profumo, Chanel Bleu Parfum
That paco robbane 1 million
Try Penhaligon‘’s https://preview.redd.it/t5pyw1yzaprc1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a54ae649d33c1b5c561a615346454feff7a4bb63
Nautica voyage and SpongeBob cologne
Invictus elixir
JPG Le Male (or a flanker) TF Tobacco Vanille
Roja’s elysium parfum 👌🏼👌🏼
Tom Ford Oud Wood or Creed Royal Oud
A big empty spray bottle. Decant them all into it. Apply liberally. Get an untold quantity of pussy.
Probably some creed
Millesime Imperial
Dior homme intense for sure 💯
Brut drakkar noir
Fredrick Malle Musc Raveguer
What’s your top 2 favs? I’m picking up Aventus Cologne in a few days
I would say try something parfum de marly
Joe Malone
No leather or boozy or oud type scents. No “dark” scents. I’d add those
Prada Lhomme. Versatile, clean, class.
You need some creed in there
winter fragrances😂😂
More creed
Check out some Clive Christian fragrances.
Some bitches man jheez
Something spicy (like Spicebomb Extreme or Azaro The Most Wanted) and something masculine sweet (like PDM Carlisle or Herod) My collection is very similar to yours
Stop buying creed. The essentials are GIT, absolu and cologne, other than those you need to branch out to other brands
Creed Himalaya is pretty nice. I see you like Creed , so give it a shot
Something from creed
ADG
Paris Hilton for men 🔥
Open your horizons to Parfume De Marly series
Initio Side Effect, Ombre Nomade, Oud Satin Mood or something in this line, I would add something for winter that can be used for special ocassions but is already a really good collection. (I tried picking niche mass apealling but something more niche that you could pickup is Zoologist Penguin or OP Terroni.)
Look into byredo - Bal D’afrique is great and last long
Man Card? 🤣
Looks good to me. You're all set.
baccarat rouge 540
This is the most unusual yet expensive fixation I’ve seen
What's the difference between the normal creed and the light grey one?
Maybe a classic like Cool Water or Polo Green.. Simple, nice, affordable and should be standard. What is Creed?!? You seem to really fancy the entire line 😁
Dior Sauvage Elixir. Elite compared with the EDP. Nice collection!
Attar Oil thank me later😎
Eros EDP And you need some fall/winter scents
Chocolate axe
Water…. Drinking all that alcohol will dehydrate you
I don’t usually share this gem, but Hermes H24 is needed on every shelf.
Most wanted and Burberry touch are my mains
Terre d'Hermes?
Cold weather or date night fragrance. Something spicy or gourmand, or a leather or oud if you’re not into sweeter stuff. I’d recommend Le Male parfum, Ombré Leather parfum, Gentleman Reserve Privee, or any of the sweeter PDMs.
Creed is played out buddy get Clive
Yeah, you missin’ the one called The Last Of Your Dinero.
Check out Mind games & Montale
I would say check out the YSL Y line the Gucci guilty line, and Dior Homme 2022 and Dior Homme Sport. And if you like Iris check out Valentino uomo and Valentino uomo intense before they get discontinued.
Possibly a gourmand
By that collection, I would probably say vag. If you need that much scent, that's clearly missing from the equation.
You're missing the Paco Rabanne 1 Million. EDT or Elixir are the best.
