    BDC Parfum is a big time performer for me. Lasts 10+ hours easily. First time I wore it, I sprayed it on at around 1pm in a Sephora in Denver. Walked around that day, went to a Rockies game at night. Walked back the hotel afterwards. I could STILL smell it with zero problem at 11 p.m. I didn't overspray cause that's be weird in store. If I could only have two designer frags, I'd go DHP for cool and cold weather and BDC Parfum for warm and hot weather. I find both to be very special and they are, IMO, the best designer frags.

    This is great, Gerard. Trying samples.
    Funny you tried declaration. I got the discontinued Declaration D’un Soir.
    I wore Ani today. Some RUclipsrs in Europe said Ani was reformulated. The 2022 and latest, it’s reformulated.
    The previous versions are beast.
    Here is my rotation.
    Monday: Declaration D’un Soir by Cartier (amazing rose fragrance, sadly discontinued)
    Tuesday: Interlude Black Iris by Amouage
    Wednesday: Bentley for men (the OG)
    Thursday: Mystery Tobacco by Carolina Herrera private line
    Friday: Sand Dessert at Sunset by Zara
    Saturday: Dior Homme Parfum. Enough said.
    Sunday: Domino Essence 05

    Wow, a bunch of great wears for your week! The Eau Electrique sounds great, and I've been meaning to look into Declaration. I have Declaration Dun Soir, which I love. So glad you liked the Equipage, I actually wore it Saturday! I have a recent formulation, and although it's good, it doesn't have the spicy sparkle of the vintage. My last week: Sun- Armani Code Absolu, Mon- Lattafa Sheikh Al Shuyukh Luxe, Tues- received Acqua di Parma Oud and wore it and Wed as well, Thurs received Acqua di Parma Sandalo and wore it Fri as well, and Sat- vintage Equipage. Crazy Ohio weather, looks like a warm week ahead but I'm not done with cold weather fragrances!

      Yea its not bleu but it appears to be harder to find than I thought. This was the cheapest and most widely available LNDH frag less than a year ago.

    • @DannyBellTheAuthor
      @DannyBellTheAuthor 6 месяцев назад +1

      @gerardgeorge I guess this one slipped past my radar, I had no idea it sold out and shot up in price like that, it's a shame. I guess Eau Electrique is now in the same boat as something like Frozen Cologne. It was okay in its time, maybe even really good, but nowhere near worth the asking price.
      Funny enough, Eau Electrique was initially a sort of replacement for Frozen Cologne and now that's gone too. What a shame.

    Very interesting fragrances Gerard. I keep kicking the tires on Guerlain fragrances but may come around soon. Also the Bleu Electrique is the discontinued one. This Eau Electrique I believe is pretty easily accessible still. My rotation this week:
    Sun: TF Noir Extreme
    Mon: Boss Bottled Elixir
    Tue: Ferragamo Uomo Signature
    Wed: PDM Sedley
    Thu: Versace Oud Noir
    Fri: Eros Flame
    Sat: Armani Absolutely (I let my bottle macerate for a year without wearing it and let me tell you I sprayed it and it blew me away how rich and smooth it has become. I was receiving compliments all day and night from all age ranges which really surprised me)

    40 Knotts is a great one. One of the first Xerjoff’s I bought. It’s not that expensive either, can’t remember what I paid but I think around $100 for 50ml. On me it’s woody, powdery and has a lot of Amber, but you can pull it off in summer.

    Somehow I ended up with the 3 major Declaration flankers (Essence, D’Un Soir, and Parfum) but never bought the original. I really think Cartier is a top notch designer. I’ve been wanting to pickup Hermes Equipage for a while. I bought Bel Ami last fall from Macys - had a bunch of gift cards - and it is 🔥🔥. Hermes is my favorite designer house - everything they do is elegant, unique, and gentlemanly.
