#sotd... The Game by Davidoff... This is a woody aromatic fragrance. Extremely affordable price point. Performance is underwhelming as I got about 4 hours from it. Projection faded pretty quickly. I'd say not even an hour. On the brighter side, I could still smell it on my shirt after 5 hours. As for the scent, I did enjoy it. Opens fresh with a slight fizziness to it that doesn't last long. The mid is where I enjoyed it the most. It features a powdery Iris scent with some woody undertones.The fragrance closes out with with a masculine finish. I give this a 7 out of 10.

Brothers, here are a few standout posts from the BOS community this week. 👏 Shoutout to @Lon Chaneyfield for "Does the Original Fragrance Deserve Credit?" — a strong integrity call reminding the community that before posting about a clone, a quick search reveals the inspiration.

#sotd... Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition by Lattafa... First I need to thank Lattafa for listening to the feedback on the original Zanzibar. By removing the Salty and coconut notes in the original and replacing it with a soapy and cinnamon notes really worked wonders on making this a more cleaner and tolerable fragrance. Limited Edition opens with an burst of oceanic vibe before moving into a clean and spicy mid. The dry down shows up as an smooth woody base. Above average for overall performance. Strong projection for the first couple of hours before settling into a nice bubble. I went 8 hours before refreshing. I have only had this for about a week so I am assuming it will get better. Time will tell. As of right now, I am giving this a 9 out of 10.

Slightly cooler and wet today. I was just double checking suites at bronco's stadium for the Usher/Chris Brown show tomorrow, so I decided to break out the one that started it all! The OG Hawas. Plummy, bubble gum, Invictus Aqua kinda vibe. Almost always crabs a compliment. Got home, showered off and getting ready for a high end client's baby shower, followed by the concert. It'll be a 16 hour workday for me, but we'll worth my time. Tonight, I wanted to wear something comforting and long lasting to help me with a good night sleep for tomorrow. I normally use the cheap version of this which is Nikkos Sculpture on my sheets, but I want it to last tonight. Wood and Spices is basically that in steroids. The Fragrantica notes are quite misleading in my opinion. I don't really get any oud.aybe a touch of incense, but mostly I'm getting a creamy sandalwood and some some soft florals, I'm feeling a soft iris and orange blossom and a warm amber base. It's also quite reminiscent of The Dreamer by Versace in my opinion. Do you guys have experience with either of these?

Beautiful fragrance and scent. The Iris stays present from start to finish. First appearing as a powdery floral Iris for the first few hours before transitioning into an smooth, creamy woodsyscent while still keeping the Iris note to lead the way. While this is not a real strong projection fragrance, it does keep intimate for a decent amount of time. I was able to go 8 hours before refreshing. I am giving this one an 8.5 out of 10.
