What are your loathed fragrance buzzwords
by GeorgeReid | Perfume Discussions
..."Compliment Puller/Compliment Magnet", or "Crowd pleaser" -- they replaced "Panty Dropper" as sales tactics.  As other people said, they are useless buzzwords."Bubble gum scent" -- not every sweet scent is reminiscent of bubble gum.

What are your favourite layering combos.
by GeorgeReid | Perfumes & Brands
...I used to write about layering experiments as a blog on here, but stopped for various reasons. One combination I didn't write about is Ultra MâleUltra Mâle with La Nuit de L'Homme (Eau de Toilette)La Nuit de L'Homme Eau de Toilette The cardamom and ginger from LNDL complement the pear and cinnamon in Ultra Male. There is also a stronger burst of freshness in the opening and heart thanks to both fragrances having bergamot and lavender.

Your over-hyped duds?
by GeorgeReid | Perfume Discussions
...For the affordables, it was Bentley for Men Intense. Initially, I liked it as an affordable leather scent that is a quick lesson if someone will like the note. However, I smelled better leather scents such as Fahrenheit, Tuscan Leather, Ombre Leather, etc. This made Bentley for Men Intense useless.For the mainline designers, I see the hype train trying to start on Y EDP Intense.  I liked the theory of a Y EDP that muted the sweetness. However, it turned into a normal fresh scent that goes too heavy on patchouli.  For niche, it's The Night. It becomes one of the best oud/rose/saffron combo available when it dries down.  However, the opening is a rancid barnyard smell, and I have to wait almost two hours before getting to the good part.  It's an experience, but not one worth $1000+ USD.
