I’ve always loved perfumes, but coming from an Arabic culture, I’ve also grown up around another side of fragrance that I feel gets overlooked: musk and oud oils. I’m not a huge fan of simply spraying two different perfumes on top of each other. What I enjoy much more is using a small amount of musk or oud oil on the hot spots, then spraying a perfume over it. Usually the hands, neck, and sometimes the beard. The oil gives the fragrance something to sit on, lasts much longer, and can subtly change the way the perfume develops throughout the day. I’ve tried quite a few combinations and honestly find this much more interesting than just mixing two fragrances. There’s also another level to this in Arab fragrance culture: bukhoor. Some people will perfume their clothes with bukhoor and then use musk/oud oil and perfume on the body. In the Gulf, you’ll sometimes see the traditional ghutra/shemagh used almost like a scent-preserving layer because the fabric holds the bukhoor beautifully. I’ve tried incorporating bukhoor into my routine too, but since I’m Egyptian and don’t normally wear a ghutra, I’ve experimented with perfuming other clothes instead. So I’m curious: Does anyone else layer fragrance this way? If you use oils underneath perfume, what do you reach for? - White musk? - Black musk? - Oud oil? - Amber? - Something else? And what perfume combinations have actually worked for you? I’m especially interested in combinations where the oil complements the perfume rather than completely changing it.

Hello gents A quick question: How often does everyone wash their hairbrushes? I enjoy watching grooming videos, and I've noticed there aren't many on this important topic This is a gap that needs to be filled. So I'm sharing this video to demonstrate the cleaning process and how important it is https://youtu.be/BWCC2Y8cvVg?is=chT3VT6jGIZvxcFu

Brothers, my favorite boss of all time retires this Christmas. Everyone will be buying him booze, except me, who will give the gift of smelling great. I know his regular frag was one of the Hugo's. A few years back i got his wife to pick him a frag, and Versace Eros EDP was the one. They both love it! What's your suggestions for a large and in charge, alpha boss man's retirement gift?

How’s the fit on this shirt for an untucked button down? Should I stick with the slim cut or go to a more classic fit?

I'm 79 years old and healthy. Was a 38-inch waist, but after losing some weight and having hernia surgery that significantly reduced the size of my stomach, I'm now down to about a 34-inch waist. I also shortened my pant length by two inches and bought new size 34 slacks. The problem is that the new slacks keep sliding down. Even when I tighten my belt, it doesn't seem to help. And almost nothing in the pockets.
