Opening with a bold blast of straight-up numero dos, ASSence wastes absolutely no time setting expectations. Animalic notes charge in like an uninvited farm animal, followed by a warm, unmistakable fecal accord that says, “Yes, this is happening.” The drydown? Imagine a zoo dumpster left in the sun, but with confidence. Longevity is eternal. Projection is aggressive. Compliments; People ran away with seeming “excitement”. Final verdict: Not a fragrance, an experience. Best worn when you want personal space… permanently. 💩 No, but for real, this is a gag fragrance my coworker brought in today. He got one of the other guys with it... We all kinda share fragrances and this one was a heavy hitter... Glad he didnt try it on me!! What say you guys? Have you tried??? LOL 😂 https://youtu.be/FuAasmQGrBc?si=LvUUfirSQngwM5UP Have a great day Everyone, thanks for laughing with me.

#sotd... Prada L'Homme L'Eau by Prada... This is a fresh clean powdery fragrance. A fresher version of the original Prada L'Homme. A much easier wear. Projection is good for the first 2 hours. The dry down brings a pleasant woody scent. The Iris note still plays its part but I think its toned down some. You still get the powdery vibe just with a little more freshness. I went 5 hours before refreshing. I give this a 8 out of 10.

I don’t know why I’m wearing this if I can’t smell at the moment, kinda sick and haven’t been the most active as I wanted. Monkey special opens up very funky should be called funky monkey by xerjoff. opens up with rum, probably why it’s weird and funky mix with bergamot, geranium and passion fruit. Once it gets into the dry down it’s very nice 😊 I’m almost finished my sample so I just opened my brand new 50 ml which I wish was a 100 ml it’s that good!! I’m kinda curious why some xerjoff have the authentication sticker and others don’t have the authentication stickers 🤷‍♂️ I love the guitar pick!! Enjoy your day smelling good!!

The final fragrance that completes the popular MYSLF trilogy. Here are my thoughts on L’Absolu. It opens fresh and spicy with bergamot, ginger, and cardamom. There’s a D&G The One-like impression in the opening, but built on the MYSLF backbone. After a minute or 2, the signature orange blossom and floral notes take over. To my nose, it’s mainly iris with some other white florals I can’t quite pinpoint. Around 30-45 minutes in, it started to remind me of Prada L’Homme Intense, but in a more muted and fresher way. At this stage, the patchouli slowly begins to creep in. As it develops further, the fragrance transforms into a deeper orange blossom, green patchouli, and woody composition. Easily the most complex release in the lineup. Throughout the dry-down, it reminded me of different fragrances, or parts of them, yet it still holds its own identity. It’s a very soapy-clean, spicy, floral, woody, and slightly green scent. Extremely well blended, refined, easy to wear, and mass appealing. Best suited for cool and colder seasons, though it can definitely work during spring and summer evenings. More of a special-occasion scent in my opinion, but it could also work as a daily wear if that’s your style. Performance is quite impressive. I got an easy 6 hours and it was still going strong. It started with around 2 feet of projection, settling to about 1 foot by the 2-hour mark. I expected it to fade by hour 4, but it stayed at that 1-foot range for a couple more hours, which was surprisingly good. Projection dipped around hour 5, then picked up again on its own. I’m expecting around 8-10 hours on skin and up to 12 hours on clothes. Finally, an Absolu that lives up to its name. One of the biggest downsides is the price. I saw it at around £101 for 100 ml after discount. While that isn’t outrageous, it’s worth noting this is after a 25% discount, which does push the value proposition a bit. Also, the orange blossom DNA is arguably done better in the Gucci Guilty line. While everyone is buying MYSLF right now, if I wanted a better version of this DNA, I’d personally look at Gucci Guilty Elixir or Gucci Guilty Absolu de Parfum.

Here is another cracker Paul Anthony is the in-house line frome Handsome scent and there was no denying what this was similar/inspired by. Think Tom Ford and Ombre leather and you would not be far of the mark. I have the OG in both edp and parfum formulations and quite a few leather based fragrances that are similar so this one was easily recognisable. I picked up the 8ml travel size in the handy twist atomiser to fill out my box, but they also do the 30 & 100ml bottles too. The fragrance opens with a captivating blend of cardamom and violet leaf, creating a fresh yet intriguing introduction. At its heart, the intensity of leather and jasmine sambac evokes a sense of refined sensuality. The base of amber, moss, and patchouli adds depth and warmth, leaving a long-lasting, unforgettable trail. This one as you can imaging has a lot to live up too and it does a good job in fairness. This is modeled of the edp to a tee, the only noticable difference I've detected is the scent bubble is a touch smaller and burns away a little quicker. If your looking for an amazing leather scent at an affordable price, this may be your ticket. My Rating: 8/10 Scent: 2.5 Longevity: 2.5 Sillage: 2 Y/N: 1
