Hi, everyone! Television here, but you can call me by my first name, Brent! I'm in my early twenties and currently in medical school. I still live at home with my parents for now, since commuting to my university doesn't take too long. And living at home at my age certainly has its advantages, such as being able to carelessly spend my hard-earned money on frivolous things like clothing and fragrances 😆
I've been interested in fragrances since I was a young teen, although I used to be somewhat ashamed of it. At the time, I felt like wearing perfume was more of a "girl thing." Even so, I wore perfume all the time. What a stupid teenager I was! I remember going shopping with my dad for a perfume at the airport duty-free shop every time we went on vacation, just before boarding the plane. Around a year ago, when my bottle of 
Y Eau de Parfum was running out of juice, I started looking for a new bottle to replace the old one I had bought with my dad when it first came out in 2018. That was when I read something about the newer batches supposedly having been reformulated. I did a little more research, and that was the moment I fell down the rabbit hole. A whole new world opened up to me! I started digging deeper and discovered all kinds of brands I had never even heard of before. I also came across this amazing website, and I've been lurking around here for about a year now. I started secretly testing some of my dad's fragrances, including his bottle of 
Opium pour Homme Eau de Toilette 🫣 He absolutely loves that perfume! He has been desperately looking for a new bottle, and he was gutted to find out that one of his favorite fragrances had been discontinued. As a result, he barely uses that bottle anymore and cherishes every drop he has left. That's partly why I finally decided to make an account here, not only to learn more about fragrances and participate in this community, but also to keep an eye on the Souk in the hope of finding a new bottle and surprising my dad with it. For now, I want to take things slowly. I'm planning to try several sample kits, one at a time, from some of the brands I've discovered over the past year. I want to broaden my horizons and discover scents I wouldn't normally gravitate toward. I've already got my eye on several bottles, but I don't want to overconsume, so I'm trying to take my time and enjoy the journey!
Aside from fragrance, I'm very passionate about fashion. I love designers such as Lee McQueen, Martin Margiela, and Rick Owens. And, of course, the Antwerp Six, especially Ann Demeulemeester and Walter Van Beirendonck! I know Hedi Slimane isn't all that popular, but his work resonates with me on a very personal level. In my free time, I love to read or just vibe to music, mostly '70s and '80s rock and metal. I'm also big on running, and working out in general!
I'm looking forward to learning more about the wonderful world of fragrance, and hopefully I'll meet some lovely people along the way! Maybe even make a few friends. I didn't expect this introduction to turn into such a long post 😅 If you made it to the end, I really appreciate it!
Have a great one, everyone!
I'm from Belgium and have been into this hobby for 3 to 4 years and *not surprisingly* have a sweet tooth. I recently switched to cleaner and more flowery perfumes and absolutely love where I'm going the more I grow into this hobby.
