Bois 1920 - Sushi Imperiale
I purchase cologne infrequently because it hurts to spend $70-90 on how I smell. This is exacerbated because what I like to smell, and what my wife likes to smell is generally not the same. And by generally, I mean damn near always. She likes Obsession. My last purchase was Ferragamo, which has a nice smell but is practically invisible within minutes. I’ve stopped being polite about how much I put on in the morning, but regardless, by 10am the scent is gone.
But…
I just found Bois 1920 and that might change everything. Bois 1920 is a natural cologne, which means more oils and more money. But it also tends to mean the scent will last longer, be more “present” when worn, and it has a greater chance of changing with the body chemistry. *I tend to find that alcohol based colognes stay truer to their scents whereas oil based scents change a bit once absorbed. It’s a terribly unscientific study and may not even be remotely accurate - but that’s my observation.
Because she likes a more spicy, vanilla, musk scent on me (and I can’t bring myself to wear Obsession) Bois 1920 has an option that fits perfectly. And even better, I like to smell it too. So, yes it’s more expensive, but it’s also a bold, longer lasting smell that she and I will both like and ever since I put it on I’ve been obsessed with it.
Is it odd to be really attracted to my own scent?
