Anyplace to get a sampler of just the spicebomb series? I liked the black stuff, but i see metallic, red, and night vision versions.

You'll probably need to get decants. I did a quick search and unable to find any official sampler that has more than 2 options.

I'd have to re-try them, it's like 20 different ones. Was spritzing a toilet paper square and huffing them. Even at the best of times, I'm somewhat nose blind, lots of CS gas and nose bleeds as a kid I suspect I'm scarred up a bit in my nose, I handle homeless people etc better than most at work unless it's full shitty pants.

Toilet paper square definitely doesn't help. I feel using real fragrance test strips or a medium-ply piece of paper does make a difference. I have absolutely no scientific backing but anything with somewhat high absorption rate like toilet paper I feel would really kill a scent.

Immensely popular, but it's for a reason.

My recent pickups.

1. Huge Boss 'Bottled Absolu' - One of my favorite scents i've ever smelled. My smaller bottle was getting low so ordered a larger bottle. Absolutely incredible fragrance and lasts forever (you only need 2 sprays). Easily one of my top cooler/colder weather scents! Hits way above its weight class (price), just needs a slightly better atomizer.

2. Palisade (inspired by: Mind Games 'Blockade') - Smells like a mango Aventus. Great everyday scent for spring/summer, maybe early fall. I prefer Aventus however the price difference is huge.

3. London (inspired by: Widian 'London') - Will be an incredible date night or nighttime wear, mainly in cooler/colder months. Needs some sitting time from what I heard to really bring it out (simmers down the leather). Have never smelled the original, this was a blind-buy but I am not disappointed in the least. The raspberry definitely makes this a unique smell, but in a very good way.

4. Sicilian Tobacco (inspired by: Xerjoff 'Naxos') - Incredible... I prefer this slightly over the original. Original is blended a little better but I like the notes better in the Montagne (more honey/sweetness). This is definitely a more unisex fragrance, leaning a a little bit more masculine though. The price difference between this and the OG is an added cherry on top!
