#sotd... Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Coral Fantasy by Valentino... Coral Fantasy is an amber fruity scent with a Woody undertone. Opens fresh and fruity thanks to the apple and Bergamot. The mid has a warm aromatic feel to it. The dry down brings a rich smokiness to close it out. Projection is good for about an hour before it mellows out to more of an intimate scent. I went 7 hours before refreshing. I give this a 8 out of 10.

#sotd... Intense Pepper by Montale... This opens with a nice fresh lemon scent. It took between 5 to 10 minutes before the Black Pepper came through. The two mixing gives this a really nice blend of a fresh spicy scent that remains present for most of the wear. Even though Floral Notes is listed in the mid, however I did not pick up on any. After about 4 to 5 hours, I started getting a really nice pleasant sweet, musky, woodiness that pretty much closed out this fragrance. I refreshed at the 9 hour mark. I was still picking it up on my shirt but at that point it was more of a skin scent. I give this a 9.5 out of 10. I believe this is a very versatile fragrance that could be worn year round. I would just be gentle with the sprays in the high heat weather. But definitely can be pulled off.

#sotd... Casamorati Mefisto Gentiluomo by Xerjoff... This is a fresh, clean, powdery scent with a brief burst of citrus in the opening before the Lavender takes over. For me, this fragrance is all about the Lavender. I could pick it up from start to deep into the dry down. You do get hit with some floral undertones but still keeping the masculinity to it. I actually was able to push this to the 10 hour mark. I could still pick it up on my clothes. Definitely a skin scent at that point. Nicely done Xerjoff! I give this a 9.5 out of 10.

#sotd... Vibrato by Sospiro... Okay, in my opinion, this is a beast! Vibrato checks all the boxes. Projection? Check! Sillage? Check! Longevity? Check! Scent/smell? Check! Compliments? Check! This opens with a sharp burst of citrus and a little spiciness. Not long after applying the Ginger pushes through and greets you while sharing the stage with the citrus. Its not until deep into the dry down before it changes into a semi sweet scent with a musky woody smell. No need to refresh with this today. Easily pushed 10 hours. I give this a 10 out of 10....

#sotd... Esquire Composer by Michael Malul... Composer opens with a fruity slight tart scent being generated from the Pomegranate and Red Currant combined. Eventually giving way to a warm and smokiness with a subtle sweetiness to it. I got about 6 hours of wear. I really enjoyed this scent profile. Has the mass appeal to it. I give this a 8.5 out of 10.
