This one has a beautiful scent profile. It is an alternative/twist to BDK Gris Charnel. In comparison with Lattafa Liam (Grey,) although they are quite similar, Velvet Musk makes honor to its name, it’s muskier and ambery. Liam it’s rather more spicier. Also, at the dry down, Velvet Musk becomes more smoother, but present and alluring. At the 6hrs mark it’s already a very close to the skin scent, but keeps projecting out of clothing. Overall, a very safe, inoffensive, mass pleasing, compliment getter fragrance.

The tobacco fragrances battle between Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Parfums De Marly Herod. Which one is your wins? My win is Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille because it has more projection, sillage is louder, and if you put this on the clothing you will smell it for multiple days.

I’ve been wondering what the general consensus is from the brotherhood regarding content in a SOTD post. Do you expect a full review with note break down, longevity, etc? Is someone just sharing their scent good enough? I don’t mind either way but there is a category for reviews so that had me wondering? Looking forward to everyone’s thoughts. Have a great day!

Over the holiday season I wanted to grab some fragrances for myself and as gifts. Unfortunately this time of year is the slow season for my work so my finances were already extremely low. I saw a LOT of people on FB Marketplace selling brand new sealed in the box designer and niche fragrances for like $50-60 a pop. Everything from the popular designer stuff like Dior Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel, D&G The one, Versace Pour Homme etc to super expensive niche stuff like Creed Aventus, PDM Greenly, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, etc. I wound up getting PDM Greenly, and Creed Aventus for myself, Valentino Donna Born in Roma Intense and YSL Libre EDP for my wife, and Versace Eros EDP for my friend. $250 total. After opening smelling checking batch codes and all that turns out they’re all real. I dont know how he got them at such a cheap price to be able to sell them so cheap but I also kinda didn’t care. Anyone else go this route? Is it frowned upon for not paying big money to the designers, department stores, or discounter stores/sites? Or is it more of a “they make PLEEEEEENNNTY of profit already as it is so they aren’t really effected negatively by this at all.”

It's a little brisk in the desert today, 69 degrees. After some time outside, I wanted something "cushy".🫤 This is a warm, resinous scent that, to me, "feels" fuzzy, like a fleece jacket. The opening is shot of warm spices with a nice smoky vibe, I presume from the frankincense. I don't really pick up any cannabis note here at all. There are earthy and woody notes that are comforting in the mid, and I DO get the strange but pleasant "banana"note. The "fuzzy" amber sticks around for hours. It's a: 7.5 / 10.0
