A some what new pic

Three days left, fellas! We’re standing right at the edge of the finish line, and the hardest part is already behind us! Think back to those early days when the temptation felt constant and the idea of a whole month without buying a new bottle seemed impossible. Yet here we are, three days away from proving to ourselves that discipline, patience and community support can win out over impulse. This final stretch is about more than just restraint. It’s about pride in what we’ve accomplished and the habits we’ve built along the way. Every skipped “add to cart,” every scroll past these endless discount posts, every moment we leaned on each other in the #Brotherhood; it's those small victories stacked up into something bigger. We didn’t just say no to buying, we said yes to growth, focus and proving that we have control over the passion that drives us. Now it’s time to lock in and finish strong. Don’t let these last few steps trip you up! You’ve made it too far to stumble now. Remember, this challenge isn’t just about saving money or resisting temptation, it’s about proving to yourself that you can commit and persevere. Let’s cross this line together, and when October rolls in, we’ll know we earned the right to look back and say with pride: we did that. 💪 #NoBuySept #Brotherhood #StrongerTogether

I specifically keep a few travel size scents in my Dopp kit. This way I always have something special when I travel. Generally speaking I do not have any of these in my home collection except for the #89 Floris. I’m wondering who else does this? My scents: Hermes Poivre Samarcande Hermes Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate Floris #89 EDT Versace Dylan Blue Hermes Barenia Hermes Eau Givree

Finishing off the last of the Zara Vannila collection. Again this was part of a heritage set and set me back €26. Not too shabby for 2x100ml bottles of an edp. Again, we have a 3 note trick here, but where the previous had orange blossom, this one rocks Labdanum. When I first got them, iI recall liking the first one a little more than the second. But now im comparing them and they are both really good. The openining is rather floral bourban Vanilla, its still creamy & gourmand but not as warm as its predessesor. In the middle they have that amazing amber adds a resiounus depth & warmth. Then the labdanum at the base, aids the amber with a deeper Leathery vibe. Another bottle that seems to become more enjoyable with use. Performance is a touch weaker with about 6hrs & projection for approx 2hrs. On the dryfown Im also picking up a subtle inscense vibe which is really nice. A solid buy if you dig amber or Vannila. My Rating 6.5/10 Scent 2 Longevity 2 Sillage 1.5 Y/N 1
