Weird weather day here so I thought I would get adventurous and see how Lattafah Bade’e Al Oud Oud for Glory with French Avenue Safari Breeze. Really interesting fruity top notes mixed with the warmer and denser Oud.

I’m about to place an order!

Hey good people! Beautiful sunny day here in northern Canada! I decided to wear this super nice fragrance from the house of Xerjoff! The opening is bright and energetic with apple, citrus, and a touch of spice. It immediately gave me a mix of Versace Eros, Paco Rabanne 1 Million, and PdM (pick one of the spicy scents) but quickly becomes smoother and more refined. After 20 minutes, the iris and cypress kick in and the fragrance turns more elegant. The drydown is clean woods, musk, and soft spice. Very polished and very easy to wear. Performance is solid: 7–8 hours with good projection in the first hour. This is not the most groundbreaking Xerjoff, but extremely pleasant and very wearable. It’s basically a luxury niche version of a popular designer DNA. And let’s be real… this one will pull compliments.

A last-ditch effort to get some of my favorite fall/winter fragrances into the rotation:
