ScentXplore Review and Fragrance Haul (Episode 44)
What happens when you mix the vibrant energy of New York City, a bunch of fragrance enthusiasts, and a dash of humor? You get an unforgettable adventure at ScentXplore, where we, Damali and Baraka, navigated the scents and streets of the Big Apple. From unexpected encounters with followers to a hilarious delayed departure story, our trip was filled with surprises that added an extra layer of charm to our journey. As we reflect on our time, we promise to return next year, armed with a newfound perspective and an even greater appreciation for the connections we made.
Our journey wasn't just about the scents; it was a tapestry of friendships, self-discovery, and stepping out of our comfort zones. We explored how the fast-paced city life leads to unexpected bonds and shared some humorous observations about our time with friends. The fragrance world is evolving, with a noticeable shift towards unisex offerings, and we enjoyed diving into this new realm with our companions. From nearly missing a chance to network with the president over a signed bottle to lively debates about popular fragrances, we embraced every moment with open arms and a good dose of laughter.
Join us as we share our culinary escapades alongside our fragrance discoveries, celebrating the unexpected blend of oud scents and flavorful foods. With a special shoutout to @Yummy411 and @joyjenkins7756 for their kindness and support, we highlight the importance of genuine connections beyond just brands. This episode wraps up with our excitement about returning with a clearer direction, our merchandise availability, and our gratitude for the amazing support we've received. Let's toast to more adventures, more fragrances, and more laughter in the future!

    An excellent episode talking about fragrances. The irony is, my SOTD was Bois Imperial, which respectfully, I prefer over Bleu De Chanel Parfum all day, every day. PDM Althair and Gucci Guilty Elixir are really good (as well as its dupe for Althair, Liquid Brun). And Yum Yum Pistachio is a beautiful fragrance to smell on a woman. Snif is such a popular house with sistas on TikTok. Two fragrances for life within my collection would be Savoir Faire Soul Cafe and Melanated from Nazar Fragrances. Fragrance is not only something that helps you smell good, it's healing, therapeutic, and an extension of one's personality. That interplay is what it's all about at the end of the day.

    • @CanWeBeFragrant
      @CanWeBeFragrant 8 днів тому

      The nose knows! Bois Imperial is just a beautiful fragrance that gets it done. I havent gotten my nose on Soul Cafe or Melanated. Thanks for the suggestions. I will be getting samples for both of those now.

    That Royal Oud belongs in every mans collection. Save up and grab a bottle. If you have a 1 bottle collection this is good enough to stand on its own.

    Dior Savage is a great scent for a young man (under 21)...agreed! Kareem thinks he met his soul mate?! Tell me more about them pancakes!! 😭😂🤣 Also have to agree that people have absolutely complicated love to a point where it's way too difficult to connect beyond the physical/superficial. There are many things you can change about a person (clothes, cologne/perfume, heck even eye color/hair)...BUT changing your character is much harder. It's time for the heart people to feel again! What a beautiful friendship you all have cultivated. Cherish it!💜
