Michael Martin-del-Campo, aka MikeyMDC, works at an advertising agency in Los Angeles, but he’s probably better known online for his love of classic suiting and guns. Mikey also freelances as a wardrobe stylist and consultant for brands like Stussy and makes random merch such as the “Kill All Artists” bootleg t-shirt and Conde Nast hat that he & friends sell on darkwebinc.bigcartel.com. Mikey has great taste and lucky for us, he’s here to tell us what he’s been into.

I’m really into fragrances. I have 30 bottles on my dresser as we speak. This is one of my main go-to’s lately, a blend of citrus and almond and leather. I blind buy all my fragrances from Fragrancenet for the most part, usually basing my decisions off of reviews from Fragrantica which is like the perfume nerd mecha. I know ordering something without smelling it in person is a risk, but scared money never wins. I’ll usually buy anything that mentions the adjectives “masculine” or “elegant” in the reviews, and this is just that. I don’t really jive with the “signature scent” mindset, especially when outfits and seasons come into play. You mean to tell me you use one perfume bottle all year round? That’s fine, but I hate you. Variety isn’t just a river in Egypt, ya know.
