After several samples and sprays in Norman Marcus and Dilliards And after recommendations from @Ben E and @Will Southard and a great compliment by my past Neiman Marcus Rep who now works for Creed at the same location Fragrancenet 137.00 won the battle!!!

Bright, fruity, slight rose with soft leather and amber and patchouli base. When I first got into Mind Games, it was French Defense and I thought to myself, they can't do better than this. Then I got this stunner and it knocked FD down a ring. I have 5 MG now, looking for a 6th. This sits probably at #2 for me

This is my new favorite leather obsession. This is deep, dark leather with a tobacco and Osmanthus pairing. Longevity is amazing and it’s a much more refined profile than Ombré Leather. Fragrancenet has for a great price too. Check it out if you haven’t!

A little birdie just pinged me, Third Eye has a new release coming, date TBD, I will update as soon as I find out. https://www.thirdeyefragranceco.com/shop/p/moonlotus Notes look great and based off of the other 3 that I have from Will and the level of service, I will be blind buying this beauty. "Luminous fruits, rich white florals, and glowing coastal woods. Moon Lotus opens with a radiant blend of mandarin, peach, lemon and pineapple — soft, golden, and quietly intoxicating, like a tropical breeze drifting over moonlit water. The heart of the fragrance is a narcotic mix of luxurious white florals - two different kinds of Ylang Ylang essential oil, Jasmine Sambac, Jasmine Grandiflorum, Neroli, Tuberose - and features the beautiful and alluring Blue Lotus, with real, authentic, rare and decadent Blue Lotus absolute. The base melts into a mix of creamy sandalwood, rich vanilla absolute, and a salty ambergris accord, leaving a beautiful lasting impression of sea breeze, ocean water and coastal shorelines. Blue lotus was revered in ancient Egypt, prized for its hypnotic, euphoric aura and its link to the divine. Often infused into ceremonial wines and sacred uses, it became a symbol of elevated desire, spiritual awakening, and transcendent beauty. We have tried to capture that aura for a fragrance that is incredibly unique and beautiful while also remaining unisex, accessible, and with good performance. Mysterious, glowing, and magnetic. A tropical, narcotic, moonlit walk by the sea."
