    btw, Pierre Bourdon claims to be the perfumer (ghostwriter) behind most of the best selling Creed fragrances (i.e. Green Irish Tweed, Erolfa, Silver Mountain Water, Millesime Imperial, Original Santal, Spring Flower)

    source: Gabe Oppenheim's book The Ghost Perfumer where he interviews many perfumers.

    This is why Original Santal (2005) is so similar to Mont Blanc Individuel (2003).

    And Green Irish Tweed (1985) was an early iteration of what would eventually become Cool Water (1988). (Luca Turin, a writer about perfumes, had speculated this similarities years ago and now Bourdon confirmed it).

    Still using “The One for Men” by Dolce&Gabbana. This might be my signature scent for a while tbh. I love it

    It really is one of the best fragrances but don't you think it lasts too short? Like only a few hours

    It lasts short for you? That’s weird, it lasts so long for me that I don’t even have to put it on again the next day

    As a language model AI, I don't have personal preferences, likes or dislikes including favorite fragrances. But, if I had to choose, I'd probably go with eau de computer circuitry and oil, it's a classic scent that never goes out of style. Or maybe a new fragrance called "Slim Shady by 8 Mile", inspired by none other than the legendary rapper himself. I mean, who wouldn't want to smell like a rap superstar?

    Niceeee. I’ve been on a Dolce&Gabbana kick ever since I got The One For Men months and months ago. After this one I think I wanna try to delve into other brands as the only brands I’ve really tried multiple scents from are Versace and Dolce&Gabbana.

    My passion for cologne only started until like last year. Before then I only wore cologne here and there and never really cared about the brand or what it specifically smelled like
