    Blind bought Naxos and 40 Knots because of you. I'm pretty sure we have very similar tastes. Code Parfum and Bleu Electrique are some of my signatures.

      Yep same here! Naxos imo takes some warming up to tho, smelled it the 1st time and thought it was weird and just okay but grown to appreciate it more. I prefer 40 knots, it's just easier to wear and like

      Naxos is a nice blend but a really hit or miss. Me and my girlfriend both cant stand the smell of it. Even outdoors close up or from afar the smell is repulsing. But well made for sure. Also very feminine to us🤠

    personally, I blind bought blu electrique due to the hype regarding its rarity and blind-buy safety and did not like it much at first. Just comes from the fact that I don't usually wear perfumes with such a scent profile. I've learned to like it through using it frequently as an office frag, as I like catching soft whiffs of it off myself more than smelling it directly off my hand where I feel it's cloying.
    unrelated, I blind bought Bvlgari Terrae Essence and loving that one! Would not say it's blind buy worthy though for sure!

      How's the projection/sillage on it? Some say it has a soft/moderate projection, while others claim it's a really loud fragrance, hence my confusion in that regard. I'm still undecided between Angel's Share and PDM Oajan because of the projection aspect, which is why I'm asking.

You don't just give your own judgement on the scents, but also explain why people may or may not agree with you - depending on what they like personally.
    If I may suggest a video type, could you make a 'The Best Fragrances with 'this particular note' ' video?
