Went with a bit of a darker frag today at least by my standards. It has a nice raspberry open followed by a smooth lavender and very nice leather note. My only gripe with it is the raspberry is gone like a fart in the wind lol. https://www.skool.com/bos/sotevening-azzaro-forever-wanted-elixir?p=b9684339

Coming soon in March. Instant buy for me.

I was reading a post by @Henry Clay a few days ago about going through and wearing some samples this month so I decided to jump on the train. I have a ton of them that have been sent over by @Jamal Moore @George Hernandez @Raul Olveda @Mark DiCiero @David Myers and a couple of other brothers. There’s one or two that aren’t with us anymore for whatever reason. I decided to start with Ferragamo Signature today. Salvatore Ferragamo Signature is a smooth, and masculine fragrance with a very clean and confident vibe to it. It opens very fresh with citruses and pink pepper. I’m also getting some of the cinnamon here. You’re also able to start picking up on the cypress after a few minutes. As it starts to settle down you get a very smooth and almost creamy leather and hints of coffee also. The dry down is soft and I get the woods and tonka bean. Overall, it’s a pretty good scent, it’s versatile, and it’s easy to wear. I feel like it’s a great choice for work, casual evenings, or anytime you want a classy, understated scent I would say the longevity is around 5-6 and it pushes out pretty good for the first hour or so. The price is also good at around $38 for a 100ml I don’t think you can go wrong with this. It’s a budget fragrance that I would definitely recommend.

Good morning, Brotherhood!! Quick SOTD brought to you by Massive by Sawalef. Sawalef’s parent company is the well known Swiss Arabian, and this is their niche side of the house. As if Swiss Arabian wasn’t already putting out niche quality fragrances. Seriously, SA releases some amazing scents. Massive is primarily a woody spicy fragrance, launched in 2018. It’s absolutely gorgeous and gives off Encre Noire À L’Extrême vibes, but with a twist of dried fruit, vanilla, and dirty patchouli. And if you’ve been around me for any amount of time… you already know I love patchouli. The opening instantly grabs my attention with a strong, sharp, masculine cedar note. The dried fruits add a subtle sweetness in the background, warming up the blend nicely, especially since cedar can sometimes come across a bit bright. As it dries down, the patchouli and vanilla really ground the fragrance and complete the composition in a way that feels very high quality. Performance is still being determined, but so far it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster ride which I like. Something I’ll chalk up to skin chemistry. At first spray it was very captivating and masculine but then after a couple minutes, it felt weak, but maybe that was just my nose adjusting to the opening? As it transitions, you can clearly smell it move from bright cedar into warmer dried fruits, then into smooth vanilla and patchouli. Cedar wood is clearly the dominant note in this blend. Where this fragrance really shines is its sillage. Just when you think it’s gone, you’re reminded how good it is when you walk back into the space you were just in. It leaves a trail that genuinely makes you happy. Not super sweet, very masculine, and a great signature scent IMO. I would recommend this if you like cedar. Good for all seasons but beware of warmer climate as it may be too much. Have you tried any offerings from Sawalef? Have an amazing day, Brotherhood!! Off to work.
