Hey good people, super cold here in northern Canada. What a better time to stay at home, watch the Olympics and try new fragrances. Coromandel is patchouli wearing a tuxedo, not a leather jacket. Right off the top, I get a smooth, slightly sweet patchouli, zero dirt, zero hippie vibes. This is clean, polished, and expensive-smelling in that quiet Chanel way. There’s also this low-key barbershop elegance in the background, not shaving foam, not loud fougère, more like freshly groomed, well put together gentleman vibe. The benzoin/incense combo gives it warmth and depth, almost creamy, but never sticky or gourmand. It just sits there… confident, calm, unbothered. Performance? I get 7–8h on skin, projects enough to be noticed, never to offend! This isn’t a hype beast, club monster, or compliment hunter. This is a grown-man scent. I think fall is where this will shine, winter days are perfect, and it even works on cooler spring days. If you like patchouli but hate when it’s loud, dirty, or trying too hard, Coromandel is elite tier.

It is Super Bowl Game Day! I chose to go with Acqua Di Parma Fico di Amalfi for today’s activities. What is your go to fragrance for the game? Disclosure (teams featured in picture will probably not make it to the Super Bowl in my lifetime)😂🤣😂

Can’t seem to get warm but Fahrenheit gives me the illusion. Stay warm and safe everyone

I started watching the Apple TV series “Drops of God” about wine connoisseurs. A unique plot I won’t spoil, but the connections to fragrance and wine tasting are so intriguing to me. I don’t know much about wine but this show makes me want to learn. Any brothers here who are equally into both perfume and wine and can share your experience of how the two hobbies relate (or don’t)?
