(Series Intro) - Welcome to the “House Intros” Series!

Hey guys, Joe A. here with another one for ya'! So, pull up a chair, it’s time to talk shop. If you’ve been around here long enough, you’ve probably seen me drop what I like to call "House Intros". While I first thought sharing collection pics were cool, I soon realized I wasn't really adding anything of value, so, I started this series! Think of them as your quick-start guides to some of the biggest, boldest and sometimes most under-the-radar names in the fragrance game as I've come across them!

Why? Because navigating the world of fragrances can feel like being dropped into a foreign city without a map. Each house has its own style, history and quirks! Some are all about timeless elegance while others are wild enough to wear leather pants to a wedding. My goal with these intros is to give you the essentials as I've researched them: what I know them to be, what they’re known for and which fragrances make the best starting points if you’re new to the brand, in my most humble opinion of course!

These aren’t deep-dive dissertations or sales pitches. They’re straight-talk rundowns, built to help you discover new favorites, avoid blind-buy heartbreak and spark some good ol’ debates along the way. Whether you’re just dipping your toes into niche waters or you’ve been wearing cologne longer than you’ve been wearing socks with sandals (you know who you are), I submit to you House Intros - here to help you explore smarter, smell better and #EnjoytheJourney And just a heads-up — the deep-dive individual posts are available exclusively to Gold Members, so you’ll get the full, expanded experience if you decide to join. !!

What say you, guys? Do you feel a series like this would be beneficial? Do discussions and recommendations aid you in your fragrance #Journey? Or is good ol’ Joe A. off his rocker again? Love to hear from ya’!
