Got a free sample of Hinterland with my purchase. I'm grateful to have been able to sample before buying. I was expecting something fresh but with a little more depth. It kinda fits that profile but it has more of a citronella smell on my skin. Not sure what's causing it to smell that way. Maybe it's my skin chemistry. I've tried wearing it a couple of times and just ended up trying to wash it off as best I could. Smells like bug repellant on me. Just didn't do it for me. It's strong and projects and I'm pretty sure it lasts long because I had a hard time scrubbing it off. I could still smell it slightly. Out of all the samples I've tried from this house; Amberland, Diabolique, and Green Irish Tobacco, this was by far my least favorite. Diabolique and Amberland are full bottle worthy.

Poseidon's Elixir Remixed Mod 1 is very nice! I've gotten several compliments wearing it. It's supposed to be a more balanced interpretation of Aventus, but I get a lot of Smoky Birch. I pick up more Pineapple and Black Currant when I first spray it. After about 5 minutes or so The Smoke kicks in and dominates the fragrance. You can still slightly pick up the Pineapple, but it's way in the background. After a couple of hours in, you pick up some Rose, Oakmoss, and Musk. It smells great. It projects strong for first 2-3 hours and then settles down with a nice scent bubble. I'd say it lasts about 7 hours or so before it becomes a skin scent. I like this better than CDNIM Eau De Parfum and Afnan Supremacy Silver. I rate it 8.5/10.

I've never smelled Tygar, but if it smells like Black Panther, it's a banger. This fragrance is a beast on my skin. It projects strong for at least 3 hours on me and lasts 8-10 hours and longer if you spray your clothes. I've gotten multiple compliments when I have worn it. Go easy on sprays if wearing in office! It really pushes out! All you need is about 4 maybe 5 sprays at most. Grapefruit is strong from opening and woody notes kick in about 20 minutes into fragrance. I guess the Ambroxan gives it that punch. It's pretty linear though. Great value, especially since Tygar is going for about $300 per bottle.
Update: After trying a carded sample of Tygar, Black Panther is easily a No-Brainer! I had both side by side, on either hand and the difference was very minimal. Of course Tygar was a little smoother, but Black Panther was stronger on my skin. In the air, Black Panther definitely projects more and last all day on me. So would I ever consider paying $300 for The OG? No! I'll roll with Black Panther again once my bottle runs out.

This is a very nice fragrance. Got it in the mail yesterday and was love at first sniff. Unfortunately, something in it gives me a really bad allergic reaction. I had to take allergy pills to keep me from non-stop sneezing. Whatever chemicals they are using makes my nose start burning inside really bad. I was hoping it was just the pollen and grass outside since it's late Spring. Looks like I'll have to return it to fragrancex. Sucks, because I really like the smell. Aquatic, sweet, creamy, floral. Great price as well.

I was kind of underwhelmed by Azzaro Chrome Extreme. It smells nice, but nothing to jump up and down about. It smells familiar, like other aquatic/blue fragrances. I got it because so many YouTube reviewers have hyped it up. That's on me though! The performance on me is average. About 5 hours. I was expecting more. It's pleasant, but I actually like Chrome Sport better. They perform about the same on my skin.
