Last year @Steve Hawker and a few others mentioned this alternative to Stronger With You Sandalwood. I can’t find SWYS anywhere, but after all the posts, I got this at an unbelievable price. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have the following to type… Wow!!!! I’ve found my alternative fragrance for smoking my cigars! Leathery and sweet… I’m all in! Thanks to everyone who loves this fragrance enough to write about it.

Last day in london. Wearing something i dont get back home. Richer and thicker than the OG. Not as strong as Oud satin mood or deified but definitely strong. Lasts me for like 6-8 hrs which is good for a byredo.

A few more upcoming releases, a couple may be out already but here’s the latest either way.. Creed Wild Vetiver Halfeti Amber Penhaligons Initio Sugar Blast 2026 Givenchy Gentleman Society Sport Prada Luna Rossa Carbon EDP Rabanne 1 million Night Elixir Lacoste Original Aqua Aramis Intuition Intense Armaf Club De Nuit Iconic Extrait De Parfum

Easiest description ever. Long-lasting, 10 hrs, All seasons. Scent Profile = TIDE LAUNDRY DETERGENT, and I love it 4 compliments.

This rather enjoyable number from Carolina Herrera was released in 2017 & created by perfumers Carlos Benaïm & Anne Flipo. It's my first from this house & was a total blind buy, that I picked up in Superdrug for a bargain €34. It's an Aromatic Amber Wood scent that I really enjoy, my only issue is that I didn't get a bigger bottle. In the opening, the absinthe note, combined with anise & fennel, provide a noticeable aromatic & slightly boozy, spicy-licorice quality. At its heart, Lavender provides a clean, aromatic & smooth contrast to the fierce opening, adding a touch of classic masculine sophistication. It's not listed but I get a subtle whiff of a leather note at times in the air. Lastly the base notes. It dries down into a lovely Black Vanilla Husk & Musk. The vanilla and dark musk create a smooth, sweet, comforting foundation that lingers on the skin This is one of those blind buys that really paid off. It's clean, but also dark & modern. A spicy fragrance that's perfect for nightlife, clubbing & parties. I'm getting almost 7 hrs on skin with good projection for the first few hours. I'll no doubt be replacing this for a larger bottle soon enough. My Rating: 7.5/10 Scent: 2.5 Longevity: 2 Sillage: 2 Y/N: 1
