Hey Brotherhood, Before I say any words, let me begin by apologizing to you all for a sudden absence. It was intentional. I got myself a new job, and it was very important for me to establish myself firm here. So, if some of you have heard of the book, "The First 90 Days" by Michael D Watkins, you would understand the importance of this. Its been a great new beginning and now I'm looking forward to continue contributing to the community I love. Do drop in a comment for our friendship and continued association.

From left to right in that order. In our Facebook group, I traded L’Homme Ideal EDP and Xerjoff Starlight for an extra bottle of Percival. Thanks, brother @Steve Wong I bought Hermes Pairs Eau d’Orange Verte and Eau de Citron Noir because I enjoyed them before and they were a good deal. I had to have Memo Paris Winter Palace because it has a great tea note and wanted in my collection. I traded an item for Electimuss Trajan and Mercurial Cashmere, looking for Astrum Nova. I bought Dolce & Gabbana Intenso and Pour Homme from a great fellow member, @Frank Barnett Finally, I found Micheal Malul & Gents Scents West Loop for a really good deal and I’m looking for the last three to complete my collection.

Spray an extra one for Chuck Norris.

Testing out a new to me sample that just came in yesterday. We hit 80 degrees today, but I wore it to work so most of the wear was indoors. Indigo was released in 2025. It’s a woody aquatic, created by Quentin Bisch. It's inspired by Japanese indigo dyeing, blending fresh marine with iris and leather. The opening is fresh, clean sea notes with a marine accord. The heart brings iris that adds a soft touch of sophistication. In the base there is leather, sandalwood, and Akigalawood. Its brings subtle warmth, smoothness, and a touch of woody/smoky depth without being heavy. Overall It's clean, refined, and versatile. It’s non-aggressive, office friendly, and calming. It has moderate projection for the first few hours and solid longevity at 8+ hours. It’s a fresh, slightly mature everyday aquatic. If you like aquatics I highly recommend trying this one out.
