Tried something new
Been excited to try these out to see what all the hype was about.
I see a lot of the BR540 on social media and have never been able to smell it. After a night of researching I decided to give these 4 a try as far as testing goes.
I have not worn any of them yet but will start tomorrow. So far the Extrait BR540 and Amyris are my favorites. I’m not sure I can pull off the BR540 Extrait. It smells extremely sweet and I feel like it leans more feminine.
Grand Soir is POTENT. Smells very powdery for me which I usually don’t go for.
Which one are you grabbing from the lot? Any honorable mentions I should have tried instead? I probably should have got something completely different than 2 BR540s.

They have so many, I didn't realize their was an Amyris Homme Extrait. I most likely will do another round of 4 after this batch before pulling trigger on any of them given the cost of them for full size bottles.

Completely understand. I think it also depends on how often you’ll wear them and how big your current collection is. I usually go for the smaller bottles and even those last me ages. I actually traded my small bottle of Oud Satin Mood with my sister for an 11ml because you only need a few sprays. The performance on that stuff is crazy.
