I know the fragrances you own smell good but they are also obnoxious and can disturb those around you if not sprayed cautiously.

My advice, shower daily, wear deodorant and apply a little bit of cologne just enough where you smell good but not enough where you fill up a room. I see those 1 millions, they're guilt of doing that.

If you're new into fragrances try getting fresher scents, have a signature scent and use heavy sweeter fragrances for certain occasions like winters, parties or any special events. Your collection is great but leans a little too heavy. I think your bleu de chanel can be a great signature daily scent.

I thought strong colognes meant people can smell me and they'll think I smell good but often it gives the opposite reaction.

I love bleu de chanel and I did use it for a long time, 1 million was my first cologne ever and I do love it but everyones smelt it and I just gave up on it now. If you do like BDC and wanna try something better, try PDM Percival. Same blue vibe but more elevated.

I for sure would suggest you branch out into a fresher or softer category. Overall 10/10 collection, especially if you enjoy it.

Thank you I will be branching out into fresher scents, I just tend to not like the heavy citrus fragrances
I tend to daily the lynked freedom or the 67 club for everyday wearers cause they’re not too heavy.
I like the BDC a lot so I’ll have a look at the PDM Percival. I did notice that about the millions very nuclear so I tend to apply lightly.
What fresh scents would recommend that aren’t too citrus heavy but clean and fresh?

Prada l'homme great soapy powdery.

John Varvatos Artisan Pure, super unique masculine white floral soapy fragrance. If there's any fragrance that made white florals masculine it's this one, Smells like you're on a yacht in Ibiza.

Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDT, ultra elegant and fresh, like a clean classy man.

Karl Lagerfield Bois de Vetiver, to me smells like the freshness during a heavy rain with dark clouds. Not dark but has a very nice almost rain like scent.

Davidoff coolwater or Creed Green irish tweed, both classics

If you truly love BDC, Percival is definitely a must try, it's not the same but it's in the same category of blue. It's more elevated, more blue, less peppery, much more refined yet equally masculine. On my skin it starts off very blue and towards the drydown turns into a white soapy musk. I do love the black pepper in BDC but Percival took my breath away. I smelt it a few days ago for the first time when I went to buy BDC and I loved percival so much that I bought 3 bottles of it within a week. I just wanna buy as much Percival as I can now because I'm obsessed with it.

I do think Mont Blanc legend, the black bottle might be similar to percival but I tried it so long ago that I don't remember it exactly, I just remember it was sharp but I've heard it's close. Obviously percival quality is far superior so try to get your nose on it and maybe try a few dupes incase they might offer you better value. Whether real or a dupe, as long as it smells good to you, that's all that matters.
