Black Metal and Cologne go hand in hand....apparently.

And then some stay close to the skin, and only project 2-3 feet away. This tends to be the case with most oils and Eau de Parfums. I don't mind it though, because I don't wanna be the "cologne guy". So I'd rather they not project than to throw out a huge unavoidable sillage cloud.

yeah I prefer the oil because stays on longer but it's not as lingering like you say. I like that it only projects 3 feet away as opposed to 6 feet.

I get the whole not wanting to be the "cologne guy"

I've become more sensitive to cologne since moving to Seattle. Hardly anyone I know wears it, so when they do, it's very noticeable and it annoys me.

That doesn't mean everyone's a hippie, we shower and use deodorant. Well most of us anyway.

No wonder Seattle is the number 1 depressed city in the US. Not enough cologne is being worn.

I use deodorant but I use cologne rarely.

Haha! I guess I have a reputation now!

Ohh not like THAT sillyhead! I'm talking about back in the 70s with those colognes that could burn nosehair. I tend to prefer light ethereal scents, with an exception for winter fragrances and ones I use for night time wear. That's when I break out my orientals and gourmands and get to smell like a bakery.

Along with all my other weird genres!

But anywho, I was on Luckyscent and after selling a long discontinued fragrance (Dolce & Gabbana By Man) for $140, I decided to pick up a few samples.

Costume National's 21 (again)

Absolutely beautiful stuff. Soft and creamy, contrasted with spices and incense. Perfectly balanced.

L'Artisan Parfumeur's Mure et Musc

A fragrance based around blackberries! How perfect is that.

Miller Harris' Tangerine Vert

Mandarine Basilic made me wanna find another realistic orange fragrance. This one sounds like it could be perfect.

And on a different note, I got a new font!

It reminds me of one of my favorite slab serif fonts (Archer), so I knew I needed it.

So you really do have a collection of fragrances? Take a picture of your setup/collection

I want to see it.

What other rare colognes/perfumes do you own?

It's quite small, but here's one I took for Basenotes awhile back:

As for the second question, Dolce & Gabbana's By Man is the only real "rare" one. Although I do own samples (which are enough for me most of the time) of Dior's Eau Noire which retails for around $355, Amouage's Dia Man which retails for $250-$300, Creed's Windsor which retails for $600, and Kenzo's UFO which retailed for around $300. It was a limited release, and had a specially designed bottle:

Pure Malt will soon be hard to find, as it just got discontinued again.

I had no idea that such a thing existed. Collecting rare colognes I mean.
