My Fragrance net samples arrived yesterday and I have used the TF Noir Extreme today. I Definately get the Nutmeg and Saffron on application, and the Middle Florals come through very nicely on Dry down. Just need to see how it develops though out the day and see if I cant the Vanilla, amber and woody notes.

I do wish it had a little longer life on my skin. Fabulous by Tom Ford is a Leather fragrance for women and men. Top notes are Lavender and Clary Sage; middle notes are Leather, Bitter Almond, Vanilla and Orris; base notes are Leather, Tonka Bean, Cashmeran, White Woods and Amber.

So, I had some luck last year with a shower oil, but there was one significant issue - it had a distinct scent of its own. For working from home days, this wasn't a big deal, and I did like the convenience of applying the oil to my body at the end of my shower, letting it sit for a couple of minutes, and then rinsing off the excess. I noticed little difference in my chest, arms, and elbows between this and applying traditional moisturizer after showering. However, because of the scent of the shower oil, I ended up abandoning it after that first supply ran out and going back to the traditional routine. Of course, this also meant that certain parts of my body were getting as much moisturization as they could, since applying lotion is a more tedious process. A few days ago, though, I started a new moisturizing routine... I ordered some organic, fractionated coconut oil off of Amazon to try out as a shower oil. As it turns out, it seems to work just as well as that 'proprietary' shower oil blend - as a full-body moisturizer. However, people weren't kidding about the fragrance benefits. I've noticed a significant improvement in both longevity and projection over the last few days. I'm still, of course, applying an extra layer of face moisturizer to my face as well as body moisturizer with SPF to my head and neck after I shower, but I no longer have to take 15-20 minutes once a week (being generous with how often I actually did it) to apply body moisturizer to my entire body. Instead, I take an extra ≈3 minutes at the end of my shower to apply the fractionated coconut oil and the end result is both improved moisturization for my whole body plus increased fragrance performance. What about you guys? Do you use fractionated coconut oil as a moisturizer, or elsewhere in your fragrance routine?

Well this may not have been the best thing to find and start doing https://au.fragrancenet.com

It was 1 year ago tomorrow I finally decided to stop just watching RMRS videos and see what the Skool groups were all about. I am not a big social media guy. I do not keep Facebook, instagram or others on my phone, if I go in its through the browser only as I felt that the endless scrolling wasn't for me. I do watch YouTube quite a bit and while that is technically social media that is the only one that I regularly interact with. That being said if it weren't for YouTube and my interaction with videos on mens shoes, watches and clothing I never would have found @Antonio Centeno and the RMRS channel and all of you here on this platform. I try to be a very intentional person about everything I do, and that includes being thankful! While I have always enjoyed dressing well, polishing shoes, watches, fragrance etc, I really enjoy being around a group of supportive men looking to build each other up instead of putting them down to make themselves look better! This is what attracted me to this group and I am a MUCH better man for it! I truly cherish all of my interactions with you all. This is a rare group to be sure and, I would love to list all of the men here that have helped me along the way!! Wishing you all an Outstanding Tuesday or Wednesday depending on where in the world you are!! Thanks!!
