Ready to go!!! Let's get it!!!

They finally arrived — and I opened the box like a kid on Christmas morning who specifically asked for swagger. After much anticipation, this evening I received both new fragrances from the house of Elyon Dubai (Curly’s Fragrances), and even though I only planned a quick test, I ended up doing a full sniff-session like a sommelier with a grudge against subtlety. BLUF: I am thrilled with the blind buy — these two just earned a seat at the table next to my Tom Ford, Creed, and Xerjoff. Infinity smells like a luxury night drive in a leather interior — smooth woods, a soft touch of sweet fruit, and just enough rose to whisper, “Yes, this costs money.” It’s the fragrance equivalent of pulling up in a blacked-out car with ambient lighting, even if you’re really just going to Walgreens. Himeros (my favorite) is Infinity’s darker, mysterious cousin — the one with a motorcycle, excellent hair, and zero interest in returning phone calls. It’s smoky, leathery, sweet in the most dangerous way, and powerful enough that one spray feels like you’ve just entered a villain’s penthouse. Definitely not my usual “office-safe” choice, but tomorrow night it’s coming with me to the Cowboy Dance Hall. A cowboy with Middle Eastern flair? Boots, leather, oud energy? The fragrance is already doing more line-dancing than I am.

A huge shoutout to Antonio—what an absolute gentleman you are, sir! Thank you for the incredible Royal Vintage by M. Micallef, and RMRS challenge coin. Your embodiment of class, style, and graciousness is truly inspiring; you make the world of men's fashion and fragrances feel welcoming and elevated, and I thank you for shining a light on gems like this one. Keep being the legend you are!

🔥Just received my RMRS coin today and an unexpected surprise a beautiful Undone watch. Black and bronze bezel with a black face and bronze numbers with the RMRS insignia shield in the back . Thank you so very much Antonio for the beautiful time piece.

As we slide into the Veterans Day weekend, I wanted to give a special shout out to all my fellow Devil Dogs on their 250th USMC Birthday on 10 Nov. Also, a special thank you for your service to all our RMRS Veterans URAH!
