      I shave my head like Omar. You don’t “oil up” your head. If you want your scalp to be shiny you can get a scalp moisturizer that leaves a glossy appearance. I don’t know why Omar doesn’t do it if he’s single. I got a thousand times more attention from the ladies with my shiny head than any fragrance I’ve ever worn.

      But for my country, Y EDP is more versatile because it’s citrus freshness is a lot more noticeable in high heat compared to BDC’s minty freshness since the note is sharper. But I’d say BDC is more suitable for formal occasions like office meetings in my weather.

    Getting 7 Cobalt made me realize no matter how Mediterranean, French or high quality a blue fragrance is, they just don’t..gel with me 🤓 Something about that shower gel scent puts me right off, even though is just in the opening and the rest of the mid is good, I just don’t reach for it. Doesn’t last long on my skin either but objectively it’s pleasant and high quality, love the light incense note if blues are your thing. Probably prefer Bdc Edp but still has that note just not as strong. I know you’re not a fan of Dh20 but it fits that role for me without the blue gel, love it. Seriously thinking about getting Gucci intense oud, I love oud wood but price-performance is not there for me.

      @scottnelson5722 3 дня назад

      I had to come back and correct myself, I dug out my 7 cobalt from the cupboard and over the last couple of months of not using, it seems to have matured and that blue scent is a lot less lynx smelling. Sotd and loving it. I’ve been wanting something with incense to wear because my Adg parfum isn’t lasting (off to mature it goes) Really is a school, I’m learning our relationship with some fragrance really can benefit from a bit of time to mature.

Is it better then the original? well it doesn’t matter bcs they are two totally different fragrances the 2025 is a good fragrance on its own. The only reason people are bashing that fragrance down is bcs they have smelled the original one and it’s gone so you hate it. If the original would have had the same treatment then Dior homme original the 2025 version would never had that many bad reviews.

This wouldn’t mean much in isolation but I think it’s also super handsome and natural smelling. I’m quite picky with fragrances and don’t tend to like mass appealing offerings.

      @@bobby4663 the performance and originallity aren’t subjective. I’m from Spain, where Loewe is from, and its fragrances have been always considered cheap and haven’t never been considered good or original. Since a couple of years ago, the brand increased the prices and started paying a lot in marketing for pushing them as ‘luxury’ fragrances. I wonder if they are paying this influencer, because he keeps recommending them in most of his videos.

      @@naslarra56It must be subjective by definition because my experience is the polar opposite to yours, especially where performance is concerned. I can’t necessarily insist on its originality nor am I particularly concerned about it since there’s a finite spectrum of scent accords and there’s bound to be repetition and inspiration from existing fragrances. I could tell you of countless fragrances that I know to have truly abysmal performance, but that may also be subjective.
      I doubt that Loewe are paying Omar to promote their fragrances since this is pretty much the only one he mentions from the brand. If anyone is paying these influencers it’ll be the clone houses that keep cropping up all over RUclips. Clones are not my thing at all but again, to each their own!
