Give ‘em a chance!

There’s a recent post on here about the brands that are an immediate “No,” for you. It prompted me to wonder if any of my “No’s” might merit a second look. So, I’m going to list my 😒 houses, and I would appreciate you advising me for which of their fragrances I should cast aside my prejudice and take a good, open-minded whiff. - Xerjoff - Casamorati - Amouage - Mind Games - Bond No. 9 - Merchant of Venice

As you can tell, I’m that particularly immature type of snob who won’t try something simply because lots of other people like it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    I'm going solely based on clones here as I don't have Amouage money to spend, but I think the house has some great stuff. The clones I have of Reflection Man, Beach Hut Man and Purpose 50 are all quite excellent. I'd imagine the originals are on even another level.

    I think that each of those houses have something to offer everyone. For Amouge definitely start with Reflection or Reflection 45 those are the most mass appealing from the house. My personal favorites are Journey Man, Interlude Black Iris and Search. Xerjoff have many different scents that I think are completely mass appealing Uden, Renaissance, Naxos, Torino 21. Then if you want something a little more challenging or with less mass appeal you can you with one of the four Alexandria's or Monkey Special. I do have a couple Bonds i like NoMad, Beekman Place or Dubai Gold.
