I stopped at my favorite fragrance retailer after work and talk about great timing. Incredible selection of new releases, and many new-to-the-market fragrances were available. In addition, a niche collector, anxious to show off his collection, added another 10 fragrances to the list. I will list the top discoveries below: 1. Neiman Marcus by Roja 2. Elysium Noir by Roja 3. Can't Get Enough by Initio 4. Amber Star by Xerjoff (these will be available in the local market shortly) 5. Starlight 6. Coro 7. Opera 8. Star Musk 9. Richwood (not new to me) 10. Invasion Barbare by MCM (customer) 11. Dancing Light by Olfactive Studio (customer) 12. Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Ivory (Nordstrom's) I completely lost track as I tried to keep up with the stuff being tested.

Good morning gentlemen. One of the best right here. It’s a must try for sure. Any occasion any time of year.

So after 22 days of fighting temptation, I went out with some co-workers to celebrate a huge success today and I failed my brethren. I knew I was in trouble when they said let's go to the Sawgrass Mall. Of course I stopped at my favorite perfume store that carries (and hold for me) discontinued fragrances and they were holding several from my list. I felt really bad for the salesperson and I told her I would take them (ALL). I want to apologize to my Brother's and especially to @Renato Carotti for not making it until the end of September. New fragrances include: - Penhaligon's The Uncompromising Sohan - Dolce & Gabbana The One Grey Intense - Dolce & Gabbana The One Gentlemen - Acqua di Parma Cipresso di Toscana - Emporio Armani Stronger with You Only

---Choose a designer classic over a niche choice.--- What say you, Gents? As my nose developed, I naturally moved away from designers and more toward niche and indie offerings. But that's truly a disservice, there's many designers that are just as good, if not better than many niche out there! Which designer brand are you wearing today? What designer frag is as good as, if not superior than, niche? Post here or in the SOTD. Love to hear from ya'!

I broke down and placed on order. It’s just a discovery set but still failed #nobuysept. I ordered the Day Three discovery set that’s been recommended by @Ben E and @Lon Chaneyfield. Really looking forward to testing them out and then buying a full bottle.
