So on my recent trip to Belize I ran across these in port. Needless to say I didn’t indulge. They had tons of “designer” and “niche” fragrances. All for the low low price of $18 USD 🙄 I didn’t get photos of them all but they had any creed and PDM you could think of.

What’s everyone wearing this weekend? I grabbed these for my little weekend getaway for the wife’s birthday.

A few things came in that I’m excited to start wearing! These are rounding out my warm weather and year-round collection, and aside from a few few cheapies coming in the next few days (Aquatica and Adonis Icarus), I’m looking at maybe just two or three more bottles and then I’ll be all done buying as my collection will be pretty much complete for me - FDB Oud Bleu Intense: a delicious ambery resinous composition that comes at the “blue” category from a pretty different direction - Sospiro Vibrato: in my home battles this beat out Tygar, Ingenious Ginger and Aqua de Dora - Givenchy Gentlemen Only: my first Givenchy, this is a gem ( @Stephen DeMent posted about it today) - JPG Le Beau Paradise Garden: to me this was neck and neck with the Le Parfum version, but my GF had a strong preference for this one so of course that broke the tie

Hey Gents. Today to kick off the week I went with 1888 from Xerjoffs Casamorati line. This is another sleeper from the house. It’s definitely known but not praised like Naxos but it’s deserving of more attention. I’ve heard this described as a sexy Dr Pepper and you’ll definitely get that here. With time and maturity your bottle will develop some more….and when it does the dry down is incredible. After the sexy Dr Pepper vibe you’ll get a beautiful powdery amber and sandalwood that I didn’t get on my initial wearings but god is it great now. Longevity I would say 10-12 hours total on three sprays. Projection 2-3 feet for 4-5 hours before retracting to a foot. 12+ hours a skin scent but still enjoyable. The stars in this are carnation, pepper, saffron, ylang ylang,amber and sandalwood. The florals blend perfect together in this one. A must try if you haven’t yet.

Just got word this one's a comin' Just don’t buy from them, wait til discounters!!! What say you, guys? You like Mancera? What's your favorite one? If you don’t have a Mancera, which one or ones are piquing your interest? Love to hear from ya!
