Spray and Pray Experiment #0008: Pour Homme Lion (EDP) and L'Homme Ideal (EDT)
In today’s world, there are various opinions about masculinity. Should someone hold on to the traditional values of the classic gentleman? Should someone adopt the current values expected of the modern gentleman?
When someone asked me this question, I responded that both the classic and modern gentleman have positive aspects. After explaining what they...

Spray and Pray Experiment #0007: Cool Water and Voyage
In a previous experiment, an acquaintance said they liked the combination I presented in Experiment #0004 on her son, and requested that I try another combination with Cool Water and another summer fragrance outside of Chrome.
Naturally, I granted the request, and let the acquaintance pick the second fragrance. She chose Nautica Voyage. Admittedly, I was disappointed with that choice,...

Spray and Pray Interlude 02: What to Do After Hearing "You Smell Like My Relative/Ex"
The Scenario:
Single and available, you decide to attend a celebration at a nightclub. You want to smell incredible.
You act with prudence and select a bottle people compliment, or perhaps you own a modest collection and apply your finest scented liquid.
The scent you chose is also popular. For example, as a man, you decide to spray Sauvage, Aventus,...

Spray and Pray Experiment #0006: Bentley For Men Intense and Legend
For this experimental fusion, I am taking two fragrances that most people have heard about and will attempt to make a hypothesis of what could happen if I layered and combined them.
Or in plain language, I am taking a dubious (but still educated) guess at what could happen if I layered these two fragrances together.
It is time to spray and pray—literally.

Spray and Pray Interlude #01: Overcoming Celebrity Fragrance Bias
I took a break from experiments and will have the results of Experiment #0006 next week. The short version is that my nose needed a break. In addition, I'm waiting for new fragrance samples to arrive specifically for the next experiment.
Instead, I will tell a brief story about what happened during my travels in New York City this weekend, and how it changed my perspective.
The...

Spray and Pray Experiment #0005: Fujiyama Gentleman and The One
When I was a teenager and a college student, my mom tried to get me into fragrances. In retrospect, I think she was trying to say I had body odor issues without saying it aloud.
The lessons registered, but I shrugged it off, and I wish I used the advice sooner (or realized what the advice was about), especially as I discovered fragrances in recent times.
Today would have...

Spray and Pray Experiment #0004: Cool Water + Chrome
Spring is here in the Northern Hemisphere, and the temperatures are rising. It is time to break out the warm weather fragrances!
I took a classic summer fragrance from 1988. I also took another substantial summer scent from 1996. What happens when I layer them in 2022?
Fragrance #1: Cool Water
Cool Water from Davidoff does not need an introduction. This is a prominent male fragrance...

Spray and Pray Experiment #0001: Encre Noir + Voyage
Let's talk about the fragrances used in this combination! However, I have to explain how I handled the experiment variables:
I sprayed the fragrances in the order listed. Fragrance #1 goes first, followed by the spray of Fragrance #2. I sprayed each scent once on two pieces of paper. One is placed in a fridge at 40° F / 4.4° C to...
