While in the end, the damage wasn’t as bad as predicted in my shoulder, it was in between for lack of better word. My surgeon said that it’s almost would have been better. Had you torn everything but right now there is a collagen patch that has been placed in my shoulder to heal the gap that is in there with the muscle tear and rotator cuff tear and ligaments, and he also feels that that will help to speed up the recovery process. As of now, I start PT next week and I’ll be in a sling for six weeks. Wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I appreciate you guys.

I’m curious what’s your preference when it comes to these Fragrance Lines , and what is the deciding factors

Continuing the ATH theme lately, I drop Morpheus today. Spicy woody richer ATH version of TF Oud Wood. If you like any version of TF Oud Wood, this must be taken seriously as a better and much cheaper version. This isn’t a progressive frag imho and stays relatively linear throughout as it goes to a skin scent after about 6-7 hours. Sillage and projection are good but not beast mode. Office safe and screams class. Highly recommended if you like the TF Oud Wood scent but hate the performance and price. 8.9/10

Good Friday morning Frag Fam. The weekend is finally peeking over the horizon and the vibe feels smooth and bright. Hope your day starts on a high note, with something bold on your skin and something good in your spirit. My first wear first impression of Hard Candy Elixir by Aaron Terrance Hughes hit me immediately with that signature ATH richness but wrapped in a sweeter, more playful shell. The fragrance opens with a glossy, almost mouthwatering sheen that quickly deepens into a warm resinous core with surprising weight. It moves with confidence, radiating effortlessly off the skin with great sillage and projection that make it impossible to ignore. As it settles, the blend becomes darker and more indulgent without losing the fun sparkle on top, creating a delicious contrast that feels both sophisticated and addictive. Initial rating is a strong 9.5.

Picked this up not long ago, and I usually reserve the OG for holidays and special occasions. This one is much in the same vein. It’s a little less unisex with some musk and Woods shining through more so than the booze from the original, but it’s pretty redundant if you own the OG. I’m kind of a fanboy, so I wanted both in my collection.
