Hey Guys, Joe A. here with another one for ya’, and today, I’m kicking off a brand-new series that might just change how you look at your entire fragrance collection! We spend so much time talking about bottles, notes, performance and hype… but how often do we stop and ask, “Okay, but who actually created this?” Behind every legendary scent is a creative mind, a perfumer with their own story, philosophy, inspirations, failures, victories and quirks. And honestly? Once you learn about the people crafting these olfactory worlds, the fragrances themselves take on a whole new meaning. That’s exactly what this series is here to explore. In “Who Is Perfumer”, we’re diving straight into the human side of perfumery: the careers, the backgrounds, the training, the passions, the signature styles each perfumer brings to the table. We’ll look at their early influences, the houses they’ve shaped, the iconic scents they’ve given life to and maybe even the surprising detours along the way. Some names you’ll know immediately. Others you may have worn for years without ever realizing they were the nose behind your favorite signature scent. My goal is to peel back the curtain and show you the artisans whose fingerprints are on the fragrances we love. More than anything, this series is about connection, like connecting the scent to the storyteller. When you know who crafted a fragrance, when you understand their vision and their journey, the scent hits just a little differently. It becomes more than a bottle on your shelf; it becomes part of someone’s creative legacy. So buckle up, guys, we’re shining a spotlight on the perfumers themselves, the unsung heroes of this hobby. Can’t wait to explore these incredible creators with you. What say you, Guys? Do you feel a series like this would be beneficial? Do discussions of perfumers and their stories aid you in your fragrance #Journey? Or is good ol’ Joe A. off his rocker again? Love to hear from ya’!

Putting on one of the best designer interpretations of a classy, approachable Oud DNA today! Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir is seriously underrated. It delivers that sophisticated, spicy, woody profile—all that gorgeous Cardamom, Saffron, and smooth Oud Wood—at a fraction of the price of the heavy hitters (like Tom Ford Oud Wood). It’s the ultimate statement piece for a colder day or a nice evening out. If you own this, are you finding the performance to be solid, or do you wish it pushed harder?

So I was talking to my wife earlier and she told me my 5 year old this morning, before leaving the house for school asked if he could wear some of daddy’s cologne 🥲. Unsolicited he goes to my cabinet and opens it to start scanning which one he wants. He asked for the gold looking bottle to which my wife proceeds to decorate his neck and behind his ear with a few sprays. Talk about not falling far from the tree 🍎😉🤌🏼. It actually turned out to be my sotd yesterday, amber oud bleu. I didn’t pick up this hobby of ours until I was somewhat older and getting interested in girls obviously, but for a small child to have the urge to wear a fragrance is incredible as far as I’m concerned. Daddy fragrance 101 over here 🤣. Just wanted to share. Good day brothers.
