    The Banana Republic icon line is so 🔥🔥🔥 you could literally just pick up that line and would be set for life for fragrances.
    I just use my bottle of Dark Cherry and Amber for layering.

    I own both of these fragrances and definitely think they lean feminine. My wife really enjoys dark cherry and amber, while oud mosaic reminds me of a vintage style woman's perfume. I mainly pick up rose and oud.. its blended well but nothing I would personally wear. I would however use as a room scent for a throwback vibe of grandma's house.

    That Mercedes-Benz sampler set you looked at was actually a decent pick-up for $24 - I think they are significantly more online. I bought one a while back mostly for the Cologne but ended up also really liking the regular Mercedes-Benz and the Intense version (Fahrenheit EDT vibes, but I actually think I prefer this). Beware that they are splash bottles though, so you’ll likely have to transfer to a travel spray.

    I purchased the Dark Cherry & Amber for myself but immediately gave it to my wife. I think it smells a lot like Baccarat Rouge 540, but a bit more subdued. My wife loves that fragrance and being so expensive, DC&A is a good substitution IMHO. I think it smells terrific on her, but as a man, I would not wear it since it leans feminine to me.

To me a good entry level inexpensive Oud would be Oud Touch by Franck Olivier. But I have grown to like Oud Mosaic.

    Oh hey, Oud Mosaic in the wild, that's a rare one. Dunhill Custom really isn't bad. And that Coach Platinum price isn't the end of the world, I'd pick that up as a gift.
    I own all of the Banana Republic Icon fragrances with the exception of, funny enough, Oud Mosaic. I have smelled it though. That said, if I had to pick one of the two to keep, it would be Dark Cherry and Amber. Oud Mosaic is definitely more interesting, but I'm not the biggest oud guy. You do need to overspray Dark Cherry and Amber to get the most out of it.
    That said, Oud Mosaic smells very close to a Diptyque fragrance called Oud Palao, so if you're looking to save quite a bit of money, that's the way to go.
    My tip I'll say is that I recently pulled the trigger on a rack store cheapy I've overlooked for a long time, and that was Hugo Just Different. And I feel like a fool for overlooking it. Mint, apple, some aromatics, cashmeran; it's such a fun scent. From the note break down you might be expecting something like an Eros, but it's not like anything I've smelled in my collection. I paid $35 for the 125ml I think, and it was totally worth it. Out of all the Hugo line you'll see at the rack stores, Dark Blue, Man, Iced, Reversed, etc. Just Different has to be my favorite.

    • @gerardgeorge
