Well today brothers I am trying a new to me frag in a sample atomizer that I got with a purchase recently. Fun fact is I actually enjoy this one!!! Warm rum splashed over all the notes. This isn't a progressive fragrance but very linear. Decent projection and sillage. Longevity is about 4-6 hrs before becoming more of a softer skin scent. Calming and relaxing. Safe as an office scent.

Trying out my little splash on sample that @George Hernandez and I acquired at the Norway Pavillion in Epcot. It goes on fresh, woody, and floral, with a touch of citrus. Very nice soft, masculine fragrance. I would want to apply heavier to test performance, but definitely a nice one to try if you get the chance! Have a great day brothers!

Since our community is steadily growing, and I can foresee that the number of people reaching Parfum Maestro will increase more and more (leaderboards can only show you the top 10), I thought of this as a way of celebrating their BIG win and at the same time, for the whole community to recognize all of them. They are the most outstanding of contributors to the Brotherhood who have reached the very top of the ladder with their dedication. These esteemed individuals who have graced this forum with much of their time, effort, knowledge and expertise are the stars, la crème de la crème, the A-list, and they represent the best of us. So gentlemen, if you see your name listed below, this one is for YOU. Congratulations! This Brotherhood won't be the same without you.

Good morning Fragrance Family, we’re one day closer to the weekend and the mood already feels a little lighter. It’s the perfect moment to reach for something that lifts the spirit and sets the tone for a smooth, confident day ahead. My first wear of Supersonic by Aaron Terrance Hughes shows just how much depth ATH can pack into a composition. The opening comes in bright and energetic before settling into a surprisingly rich core that hums beneath the surface. The sillage moves with intention and the projection carries that signature ATH boldness without ever feeling overbearing. As it dries down, the layers start to unfold in a way that makes you lean in, revealing a darker undertone that balances the initial vibrancy. For a first impression, it feels both powerful and textured with an initial rating of 8.2

While at EPCOT yesterday with our Brother @Dave Anderson we had the opportunity to meet Gier Ness the founder of the house or Gier Ness and their perfumer. Geir Ness is a Norwegian designer house who appeared in perfume industry in 1995 with his first perfume for women, Laila, a fresh essence from Norway. They now have 4 fragrances 2 which are considered unisex and 1 which is more masculine leaning. I own 2 of the fragrances (see below) and am waiting to see if their new limited release FOSS goes down in price. If you have not had the chance to smell these I really recommend you getting some samples (https://geirness.com/).
