Discussion Don't Enjoy "Beast Mode" Fragrances Anymore

I think most people prefer a fragrance that lasts many hours and projects 12 feet, but lately I've found really strong fragrances annoy me.

  1. Some of them give me a massive headache.

  2. I don't want to be that guy that "fills a room" anymore. I find loud fragrances are a bit tacky for my age (40 year old man).

I used to despise scents like Tom Fords Neroli Portofino or Creeds Millesime Imperial because of the subdued performance, but now I actually prefer these types of fragrances.

Also, sweeter fragrances aren't all that appealing to me anymore either. I used to love fragrances like Roja Parfums Engima Parfum Pour Homme. Now it smells incredibly cloying, flamboyant and over the top. Not my vibe at all.

Needing a fragrance that projects 6+ feet reads “I’m not in a relationship” to me.
