Looking for any particular season or scents categorized by season/climate?

Honestly, that's so far above and beyond. I was curious if you saw any common threads in his choices and could think of one to recommend not already on the list.

Get him a hype beast like Amouage outlands

Oh yes! New one is finally released!

D&G 'The One' PARFUM; hopefully this one actually lasts longer than a few hours. Stupidly expensive right now but once it hits discounters I'm all over this. (https://www.macys.com/shop/product/...-parfum-collection-first-at-macys?ID=25166736)

I'm really happy about this one, they also reformulated The One EDP, curious how that one performs now. Haven't put my nose on the parfum but it's a definite must.

My reviews of Louis Vuitton fragrances I tried today
Pacific chill- there is probably a bottle of cucumber lotion that is like 80% of the way to this fragrance.
Imagination- Just buy a bar of dove soap.
Symphony- candied orange, nice.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of pool table is that? A regulation size Diamond?

It is only a 8ft table. I have no idea of the brand, it is unmarked aside from a small burn-branding stating its was made in the U.S.A, but I inherited it (they had a real fun time moving it into my house when it was being built. It has sentimental value). It is probably 60+ years old and basically in perfect shape. I had to re-felt it once but the leather pockets are pristine (I do condition them every few years with Leatherique). Solid wood and no fiberboard that I know of. 1" (inch) slate

Interesting assessment.

I get more tea and citrus in Imagination than soap. I prefer Afternoon Swim (more of an aquatic, orange bomb) much more than Pacific Chill.

I heard that news aswell about the reformulation to make it last longer. Hopefully they don't fuck it up like Armani constantly does with their reformulations. If it smells 95% the same than it is an instant buy for me and i'll just give away my old The One EdP.

Interesting. I'm trying to hold on to my EdP, just in case they discontinue it. Definitely not the strongest projector, nor the longest lasting, but the scent is 10/10. I can see some one letting the old EdP go if it's 95% close to the original though. I haven't had a chance to get a whiff of either of the releases yet, just no time to make it to the store, will probably end up having to getting decants lol. I wonder if they will do an Elixir with an even higher concentration than the Parfum.

Been wanting to get a sniff of D&G Velvet Amber Sun for the longest too, waiting to see if my go to decant site is going to eventually get them in, otherwise I'll have to go to the store for that as well. Not sure I'm going to get a new bottle of Grand Soir when I finish my current one, the difference between my initial sample and the full bottle I got is noticeable enough that it's making me wonder if they reformulated it after being acquired by LVMH.
