It’s been a while since I’ve worn this scent and I’m glad I’ve come back to it. It is a warm spicy woody and somewhat sweet oriental scent that has just a beautiful sweet almond-y dry down. I would swear that there is cherry or plum in the notes as well because the scent is piquant (and I LOVE it); alas it is not so says Fragrantica! The scent reminds me of the Extrême flanker, which does have plum as a note, and it too is gorgeous. Guerlain’s craftsmanship is perhaps unmatched.

Got a fresh sample of this so I could revisit it. Early in my journey I tried a tiny sample, which was not enough material to even get one good wear. It is fresh, zippy, aromatic citrus with an herbal note and a nice lavender push. Projection and sillage are strong to moderate for the first couple of hours. Mint is listed, but I didn't notice it. I'm looking forward to seeing what's in the base, and if it gets more woody. Have a great day brothers! Happy Super Bowl Day!! Update: Sillage is steady mild to the 3 hr mark. Soft woody base note begins to be detectable as top notes fade. After 4 hrs it is a very nice, soft mild blend of lavender & woods. Very mild, but present sillage to the 8 hr mark. Overall a great scent and product. I'll try it again when the heat cranks up.

Let’s show some brotherhood love this valentine weekend. Everyone probably has that one member of BOS who influenced them the most and added fuel to their fragrance passion. For me, the answer is obvious. @Julio Gutierrez is the one who truly kickstarted it all. Who’s that person for you?

I had forgotten how beautiful this scent is! I was on one of my usual ‘go sniff the atomizer’ tours of selected fragrances in my collection when I pulled the cap and smelled this one. Absolutely intoxicating (haha)! For those who aren’t familiar with it, Enigma has a strong boozy note, but it is also sweet, a bit gourmand and buttery smooth. And although I don’t think caramel is in the note listing, I get a caramel like smell from it too. Maybe that comes from the vanilla, benzoin and cognac in it.

Have a late lunch date today, so I’m going with MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait. combine jasmine, saffron ambergris, amber wood, cedar and fir resin and you’ll be wearing a sophisticated, luxurious scent that oozes elegance. Unforgettable fragrance.
