Today, I’m wearing the beast-mode Dupe of Bond No. 9’s Lafayette Street—Dua On Lafayette St.! ​I grabbed this one on Black Friday, and I’m so glad I did. It’s a very pleasant, versatile scent that is already living up to its reputation as a compliment magnet. ​It immediately reminded me of the clean, smooth, modern DNA of YSL Myslf, but with that Dua Extrait de Parfum projection. I can already tell this is going to be a longevity BEAST. ​If you've tried the original Lafayette Street or YSL Myslf, how do you think this DNA compares?

Today, since I'm staying home, I'm wearing a fragrance that I think smells incredible, even if it's not a crowd-pleaser around me: Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli. This is a beautiful, divisive scent that blends deep, rich Oud with bright, exotic Passion Fruit, known as Maracujá in Portuguese. The name literally describes the experience: eating passion fruit in an oud forest! Since so many people are curious about the name, and as a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, I recorded how it sounds in the attached file. For those curious, Maracujá is pronounced roughly like: mah-rah-koo-ZHAH (That 'j' sounds like the 's' in the word measure or vision). I love this unique contrast! What is your favorite unique or "challenging" fragrance that you save for days when you don't need to worry about pleasing anyone else?
