Good Friday morning to the fragrance family. It’s shaping up to be a beautiful 50-degree day here in Chicago, and I’m definitely looking forward to the weekend — some rest, some relaxation, and maybe even a little fun in this stretch of decent winter weather. My scent of the day comes from a house that isn’t widely talked about, straight from the Kingdom of Bahrain. I’m wearing Chic Shaik Emerald No. 70, and this one absolutely blew me away in the store — I knew immediately it had to come home with me. Today is my first full wear. The opening is bright and refreshing with citrus and clary sage blended seamlessly together. As it settles, it transitions into smooth, light florals that feel elegant and understated. In the base, the fragrance becomes sensual and grounded with musky woods and vetiver that give it a refined warmth. So far, this fragrance earns an 8.75 from me, but I can already tell this is one that may climb higher with more wears. Enjoy your Friday, family. Make it a great day and smell amazing doing it.

I found my new winter favorite. Herod is a tobacco, cinnamon vanilla and incense. I like this one because it’s not overpowering sweet. It a very nice blend. It reminds me of my grandfather smoking his pipe tobacco a little bit. Also find it similar to Lalique Ombré Noire. Fall / Winter scent. Daytime or excellent for date night / Work safe/ casual or formal. Longevity and projection are ok. 6-7 hours with projection 1-2 feet the first hr or 2 and then becomes more of a skin scent. Presentation is a beautiful heavy shiny brown bottle with the horses that meet over the shield with a very heavy cap that snaps into place. Only drawback id say is price even at discounters. But the quality is there as always with the PDM Brand. 9/10 for me

Some days I just want that "Warm Fuzzy" feeling. I woke up this morning and heard birds chirping!! Now it is still February so we are by no means out of the woods yet! But I am getting hopeful that Spring will arrive. I decided to put on the Santal Royal from Guerlain as while it is woody/leathery with some powder to give me that warm fuzzy feeing it also has a pronounced floral/rose in it which helps me align with the soon to arrive spring season! This is definitely one of my favorites and has been converted to Full Bottle. Hope you all have a great Friday and Valentines day!!
