This is a fresher and musky alternative/twist to JPG Ultra Male. Ocean smells fantastic, toned down the sweetness and gives a more aquatic/salty, musky/ambery nuances that makes it more versatile. This guy projects and last exceptionally without being offensive. A great grab and go and no brainer.

This is my favourite from the Fakhar line Gold extrait is a very pleasant Amber Woody Oriental with a touch of sweet & spice in the mix. It's actually hot a 1 million vibe to it, nothing identical, but you do get a touch of the parfum DNA here. The same spicy warmth blended with a creamy sweetness and a white floral touch. It opens with a bright, energetic burst of Grapefruit that quickly mellows, supported by the warm, aromatic spice of Cardamom and a subtle hint of pepper for lift. The heart introduces a creamy, sweet white floral element from the Tuberose, which gives the scent a smooth quality. A new one for me, Solar Notes suggest a warm, sun-baked sweetness, while Artemisia adds a green, slightly bitter complex to the mix. The base is where all the good stuff is kept, its rich, warm, and long-lasting. Amber gives a sweet, resinous warmth, while Cashmeran adds a musky-woody texture. The Leather and Labdanum provide depth, giving it a sensual, slightly dark, and enveloping finish. As an extrait, you would expect something that would last and for the money, this don't disappoint. 6+ hrs on my skin with a lot more on clothes which is always the case. For it half life, it has a significant projection that can fill a room. After this, it settles into a strong scent bubble that is easily noticeable to those around you. This is perfect for cold weather wear and an ideal night time scent. Whether your looking for something in the vein of 1 million parfum, on a budget. Or just want to try a solid ME scent without breaking the bank, you won't go far wrong with this one. My Rating: 7/10 Scent: 2 Longevity: 2 Sillage: 2 Y/N: 1

Good Monday Morning, Brotherhood! I hope everyone had a restful and eventful weekend. I have to come clean and admit my wrongs… as the title suggests, boy, was I wrong. After seeing everyone’s raving reviews of this fragrance, I picked up a sample along with Ambar Dominicano. I was an immediate fan of Ambar Dominicano, but when I first sprayed Midnight Raspberry, I was completely turned off by my initial impressions and dismissed it almost instantly. ROOKIE MISTAKE!! I rushed the process and wrote off a fragrance without giving it the attention, patience, and focus that a scent of this caliber truly deserves. I was in a hurry, didn’t revisit it, and gave it no real afterthought something I think some have done at one point… myself included, obviously. Fast forward to today, I decided to slay the rest of this sample decant, but this time with intention. The opening is exactly where I stumbled the first time. Initially, I picked up a bit of funk, a jumbled mass of woody notes that I couldn’t quite pinpoint. I noticed that again on the second wearing, but this time I let it breathe… and it didn’t just develop, it blossomed. What followed was a beautiful, slightly gourmand raspberry wrapped in what I can only describe as a soft chocolate cloud. While chocolate isn’t listed in the note breakdown, I’m convinced the patchouli and Vietnamese agarwood combine to give off that warm, chocolatey nuance. It’s warm without being heavy or dreary, as the saffron and cedar add just enough lift to keep things airy and refined. The star player here is the raspberry, not sharp, but a fluffy, semi-sweet, whipped raspberry that’s downright addictive. This fragrance is for sure unisex in my book and is a refined, high quality profile. It’s not a projection monster and honestly, it shouldn’t be. If it were louder, it could easily become overwhelming. Instead, it creates a beautiful, intimate scent bubble that commands attention only when someone gets close if you catch my drift. This is prime date night territory perfect for the (Bow Chicka Bow Wow 😉) close encounters.

Good morning Frag Fam and happy Monday. Chicago is treating us a little kinder today with temps climbing into the 40s, a welcome change to start the week on a positive note. Today I’m stepping a bit out of my norm with a decant of Rayhaan Terra. As we all know, this one takes inspiration from Amouage Outlands, a fragrance I’ve tested twice and personally found lackluster due to its harsh, overly dirty opening. Rayhaan Terra, however, hits very differently for me. It comes across richer and more earthy without ever feeling dirty or abrasive. The citrus in the opening is smooth and well rounded, setting a balanced tone right from the start. As it develops, it transitions beautifully into spicy yet floral mids where the geranium really shines, and that note is something I truly love here. The base is resinous and aromatic, tying everything together and giving the fragrance a polished, complete feel. At its price point, this is absolutely full bottle worthy in my book. Solid 8.5 out of 10 and a great way to kick off the week.
