Thanks go out to @Mark DiCiero for the heads-up about Sebastian being in my area. I met him. He's a nice guy, but honestly the two people accompanying him were more interesting. One was a woman whose family owned the House Tiziana Terenzi. She was really nice with some serious knowledge about frags and the history of the industry. The other was a gentleman that was blending frags to "suit your mood or the vibe you're looking for..." It was fun chatting it up for a while. Stopped by Burlington, TJX and Ross Discount on the way home. Big selection, but it was a bust for me.

Hey BOS, joking around here: which fragrance do you think would be responsible for this? Only wrong answers!! I’ll start: 20 sprays of Oud Satin Mood or 1 spray of Dior Sauvage..😂

Good mornig brotherhood!! I haven’t been doing a great job on the “mail calls” lately so here’s some of my recent pickups and people that inspired me to get them. To me that’s a win in itself… sharing, testing, liking, then buying. Appreciate you all. Have a rocking Saturday!! Xerjoff - More Than Words - @Paul Bartnicki Xerjoff - Groove Xcape - T-Bone (me) RDZ - Pasion - @Lon Chaneyfield & @Ben E Memo Paris - African Leather - @Jamal Moore Hermes - H24 HV - @Steve Louis Mancera - Black Noir - @Henry Clay Mancera - Black Prestigium - T- Bone (me)

Sounds interesting! https://www.fragrantica.com/news/Roja-Parfums-Isola-Snow-24018.html

Fresh (bergamot), sweet, bit fruity (very brieftly); then quickly transitions to warm spicy (saffron), aromatic, herbal, oudy opening Very approachable and wearable oud Great projection and sillage Appropriate for the office with 1-2 sprays, great for romantic evenings and intimate gatherings Best for Fall and Winter Creamy, velvety, woody (agarwood/cedarwood) , slightly floral (lavender), nutty (praline) soft leathery, musky, earthy (patchouli) on dry down Traditional PDM bottle, dark green shade; solid, heavy golden cap, good atomizer Great longevity Very discernible for 3-4 hours and stays longer as a skin scent for 5-6 more hours Stays longer on clothes too Great overall performance I would highly recommend PDM Haltane ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elegant-Opulent-Regal Has similarities with Initio Oud for Greatness A supposed clone is Al Haramain Detour Eco which can definitely do the job for a fraction of the cost.. I would score the overall similarity 9/10..
