Been craving some fresher scent profiles. I’m a bit over the sweet scents currently. Grabbed this one from Maxaroma. This one is excellent. Opens up with a lime and citrus, with mint and Ginger. Smells very similar to a Gin & Tonic to my nose. This is going to be an excellent summer scent. Only draw back for me is that it lasted about 4-5 hours on my skin. Projects well for the first hour or so. This one is a spring summer/ daytime/ casual. Work safe be aware that it could be considered a boozy scent. This is my 3rd Micallef scent, I am very impressed so far with quality and the scent profiles. 8.5/10

Just had to share this. Original photos and output. AI is incredible!

Can your mind be tricked? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT1zcYdDt_T/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== I found this interesting, I will comment along down below with everyone!!!! I dont want to let out the content. Looking for honest replies. Watch the link, then fill out the poll.

Alright guys, the #Brotherhood has spoken! After weeks of matchups, message-thread debates, hot takes, reconsidered votes and more “wait… smell it again” moments than I can count, The Booze Wars Champion has officially been crowned! I hope you've had some fun and learned about some fragrances along the way! ****** XERJOFF TONY IOMMI MONKEY SPECIAL ****** This wasn’t a squeaker. Monkey Special didn’t just survive the bracket, it controlled it! Dark, boozy, smoky, and unapologetically rich, this one balances rum-soaked indulgence with a surprisingly disciplined backbone. Boozy grit, warm sweetness, woods, and that unmistakable rock-and-roll swagger… it smells like confidence that’s already been earned. What really pushed it over the edge? Versatility without compromise. It’s bold but wearable, loud without being sloppy, indulgent without tipping into novelty. You can wear this out, you can wear it in, you can wear it just because you want to smell like the main character in your own damn story! And honestly, this win says as much about the #Brotherhood as it does the bottle. Favorites went down. Dark horses made noise. Opinions shifted. Palates evolved. That’s the beauty of these Wars, the #Journey matters just as much as the crown. So raise a glass, give your bottle another spray, and tip your hat to a champion that earned every vote. #Brotherhood first, bottles second, memories always. What say you, guys? Did Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special take the crown because it’s the boldest, booziest thing in the room, or because it somehow balances all that swagger with real polish? And looking back at the bracket, was there a matchup where your vote genuinely surprised you once you sat with it a little longer? And no, this isn't the part where we ask, “But is it office-safe?” Guys… if you’re wearing Monkey Special to the quarterly budget meeting, that’s a "you" problem! Love to hear from ya'!

Thank you to @Nestor Lopez for sending this last year. I had it set on the shelf for colder weather and a good situation to wear it in, and today felt right. I may never stop wearing it. This is one of the most beautiful chypre fragrances I've ever tried. The notes don't list leather, but I get a lovely, slightly smoky leather accord with it. The oak moss and ambroxan combine to make for a very masculine, sophisticated, professional scent that I am absolutely in love with. This is definitely going on my wish list, but at $175 for a bottle, even at discounters, it might be a bit out of reach for a while.
