Another first wearing of a, new to me, Middle Eastern fragrance. Al Wataniah's Kataan Classic is a soft, sweet, powdery iris scent. Comparable to Valentino's Uomo intense or Dior Homme Intense, but much more affordable. This is my first time wearing this, its a fresh bottle, but I already like it more than Dior. This is creamier. It sits on my skin better. It has a baby powder quality to it that I enjoy. At just $39.95 CAD ($28.56 USD) for a 100ml bottle, this is a true bargain! The bottle even looks good on my shelf. (Although its reflective and hard to photograph) Thanks to all the Brothers who recommended this gem to me. Its a very welcome addition to my collection.

Gentleman, this Saturday I will be seeing the hilarious stand up comedian Jimmy Carr. I pick up my date at 330pm, drive for 1.5 hrs. We have pre-show dinner and drinks, then stand up comedy, finally post show dessert and drinks. We should spend about 8 hrs together. Various locations. Walking outdoors and taking in indoor venues. I intend to wear a suit. Temperatures that day range between 9 - 25C (48 - 77F). ...and i want to wear one of my new frags. Looking at my options im thinking either PDM's Godolphin or Givenchy's Gentleman Réserve Privée... but Terre d'Hermès EDT could be a good choice too What would you choose?

French Avenue's Miraj Absolu for women. Yes, its sold as a women's perfume, despite being a masculine AF! Miraj is supposed to be a hybrid of PDMs Layton and Layton Exclusif... and its seems to be exactly that, fresh out of the box! I dont have an Exclusif sample handy, but im wearing Layton on my right arm, and Miraj on the left. Miraj is very close to OG Layton, but darker, Spicer, and stronger At first spray, im very impressed with this clone. Im about to start a 12+ hr shift. Ill update y'all how it goes

Agree or disagree? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdVRzISNyFe/?stkn=MWViMWdndGhwM213OQ==

For those of you with not only a decent collection of bottles, but also a lot of samples or travel sprays, which do you prioritize when choosing what to wear each day? I don't have many mini-samples, but I have close to 60 travel sprays now, and I can't decide whether to try to work through them and reduce that number, or focus more on the full bottles.
