Went again with this one today, it was my scent of the weekend.

Topping up my bottle of bvlgari rain essence. This one smells strong and i realise my mistake. I kept my bottle in direct sunlight and thats why the performance of mine dropped. Wont be repeating the same mistake. Also this is the first time im getting a flanker of the same line from any brand with hero edp. They complement each other so well and arguably this would be my no.1 pick if i could only have a designer duo collection for life.

This one opens very citrusy (grapefruit like to my nose,) fresh and spicy, transitioning and blending with a beautiful floral and sweet forward aroma that gets rounded and balanced with woodsy and earthy undertones. IMO the real magic of this juice belongs to the dry down transition. It’s just beautiful and delightful. It’s very versatile, four seasons, any occasion, with great projection and longevity. Website official notes: Top note: Lemon, tangerine, bitter orange, Madagascar black pepper, wild rosemary. Middle notes: Pepperwood, geranium, and rose. Base notes: Texas cedar, patchouli, Haitian vetiver, oak moss, sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla.

How many of you share your fragrances with your children?

So I have gone to the Lenox mall in Atlanta a few times and then I leave the Lenox mall each time with a fragrance on my inside right wrist and my inside left wrist. So my rule is that the fragrances on each arm I try to make the same strength or choose it such that one is not going to overpower the other. One issue I am running into is that I frequently have to make a note to try the fragrances again because I didn't get a full smell of it most likely because I was nose blind. I also tried sniffing more gently because if you sniff to aggressively then it can replicate being nose blind. Now is there anything I can do be able to smell the fragrance better and then form a good opinion on it?
