Wearing some coral fantasy today. Such great daily wear scent.

I’m a little behind on this post. New years Day was COLD here in Florida. When I say cold I’m saying mid 40s 🥶 which is cold for us. I decided to layer Xerjoff Naxos with Boss Bottled Absolu and the results were phenomenal! Naxos opens with its signature honeyed tobacco and bright citrus, while Boss Bottled Absolu slides in underneath with warm woods, dark vanilla, and a subtle sweetness. Together, the honey and tobacco from Naxos blends perfectly with Absolu’s creamy vanilla and woody base, creating a deeper, rounder warmth that feels very cozy and bright at the same time! The result is a bold and polished fragrance. It was sweet without being sugary, and it was smoky without being heavy. It has a cozy, evening ready vibe, perfect for cooler weather. And it was perfect for my day out! This is a layering combo that if you own both I definitely recommend that you try! I got 2 unsolicited compliments from strangers throughout the day. The first coming from an older lady in a gas station that said “whatever you’re wearing every man needs a bottle. The second was later in the day from the guy that was slicing my order at the deli counter and wanted to know what is was and where to buy what I was wearing and asked me to write it down. This was definitely a winner!

I am going to do a comprehensive evaluation of online discounters, including the benefits of each discounter. all have been vetted to assure Authentic Perfumes https://www.fragrancenet.com - Pros: great deals on older designers, Pros: newer designers, you can find them every so often at a good price, not the best price. Cons: I would not search the site for Niche / Indie, as you will never get the best price. https://www.jomashop.com Pros: Here, you will get really great prices on newer designer fragrances and Middle Eastern fragrances. Ok Prices On Niche, but far from the best. Cons: You would need to check the shipping because it can take 2-4 weeks. You better believe it's going to be at the end of the 2-4 weeks. https://ediscountperfumes.com Pros: a lot smaller than the other two shops above, but they do get a great selection of niche, indie, and designers. And usually, when they have enough of it in, you will get the best prices from them. A lot cheaper than the other two. Also in the same category would be Venba. https://fragflex.com Here in the USA and in Canada http://fragrancebuy.ca. Pros: You used to get good deals on European exclusives. Fragrancebuy was the place for European exclusives, but tariffs hit. To make a long story short, they are the same company, and you can find some good deals across the board from Clones designers, Niche, and European exclusives, just not always the best deals, but I have found killer deals every once in a while. They are also very good with the Middle Eastern clone fragrances, and a lot of times will have what others won't. https://www.venbafragrance.com Great site for Niche fragrances specifically, and Great prices also, good prices on Designers, still would not prohibit me from shopping around. This has some of the best Niche Prices in the online space!!!

Day two of my thumbing through my Imaginary Authors Discovery Set finds me on the chapter Bull's Blood 2nd Edition, a Chypre Floral fragrance for women and men. The notes are: Geranium, Spanish Rose, Patchouli, Black Musk, Tobacco, Sandalwood, Bull’s Blood. "The women and men in these pages are lovers and brawlers, bullfighters and boxers, soft talkers and hard drinkers. They inhabit dusty Spanish villages and dank, dark brothels. At the heart of these unforgettable characters is a determined and undying passion that pushes them to make extraordinary decisions in the face of fear. Their fates are varied but the outcome is always the same, these are stories that grip you by the throat and don’t let go until you profess your devotion. Seductive and steadfast, this classic is not for the faint of heart but for the full of heart." From Imaginary Authors: "No other fragrance in our line balances brutality and elegance like this beast. Ignore the glares, take the bull by horns, and show the world who’s boss. " I’ll follow up later today.

Trying to get my first "niche" House fragrance, and I need your Help! I love all three (from reviews) and gonna be a massive blind buy, so can you help me pick 🤧
