Have a presentation and a luncheon today, so I need to impress.

This is Dua's version of PDM's Castley. Many months ago, @Frank Barnett sent me a sample of the OG and I had to have it, but I didn't dive into the house of PDM yet, so it just sat on a list. A little fast forward to Black Friday sales, I saw this on Dua's website for the first time, I quickly snagged it. I am finally getting a chance to give this an actual wear. Is it a 1:1 to Castly, no, there are some subtle differences. I think Dua opens up more citrusy, but as they hit the mid to dry down they get close. I really enjoy how this dna takes you through a slow ride and changes from bright citrus to slight white floral green, to a warm, slightly balsamic and leather way deep down. This more than scratches the itch for Castley and one day when I am ready to jump into PDM, Castley will be one of them. With that being said, I am extremely happy to have this one till then Projection is strong the first 15min or so - 2 to 3 arm lengths Scent trails are fantastic Longevity, TBD - but when i tested spritzed it, I got like 5+ hours from what I recall, but I will update later. Rating: 8.5/10

JPG Le Male Intense edp for today. I only have a travel size but will eventually buy a bottle on this!!

Haven’t reached for this surprisingly nice leather cheapie in a hot minute. The suede/amber combo gives this such a classic manly feel, like stepping into a leather goods store. There’s a velvety masculine aura with this scent also providing a sense of nostalgia 👌🏼. Inexpensive and widely available and definitely worth a sniff if your into leather frags, especially at a very low price. Smell great frag fam. Have the best day.
