Today, January 6, is the “Wise Men/Three Kings Day/Día de Reyes” holiday in Puerto Rico. I’m back on the country side hills visiting part of my family. Temperature is 79* degrees partly cloudy and windy. So, I decided to wear an oldie but a goodie from this Spanish brand, Loewe 7 was lounge in 2010. A spicy, fresh, floral, incense, woody and musky combination like no other. This is a quite unique blend (niche like) that stands out without being offensive. Projection and longevity are wonderful. Love it!

A month or so ago I went to a store and tried this Y Elixir from YSL, I really liked it so I make my move and find a good deal on an online store and purchase it. Interestingly, you can smell the DNA of the Y line, like 10 years ago I’ve had the YSL Y EDT (the original) and when I received my Elixir and tried it I immediately remember when I had the EDT. It bring me back to my College days 😅 This Elixir has a good performance, smells fresh but does not have a good atomizer. Overall I give this a 8/10 Have you tried this? Do you have it? Love to read your comments Btw, the blue metallic color in this bottle is very nice 👍🏽

Warm spicy (cardamom), sweet, aromatic, vanillic opening Modern, very youthful, versatile, mass-appealing fragrance Spicy-Woody-Creamy blend Great projection and sillage May be used in the office with few sprays and great for outdoor events Best for Fall and Winter Powdery, iris, velvety, woody, ambery, bit floral (violet, lavender) on dry down Classic male torso silhouette, black matte and glossy texture, good atomizer Great longevity Very prominent for the first 3-4 hours and then transforms to a skin scent for another 4-5 hours Great overall performance I would highly recommend JPG Le Male Le Parfum ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cozy-Seductive-Magnetic..

Thanks to @Jonathan Ventura‘s survey, I felt like wearing my ‘21’ again today. Much has already been said here about its sparkling splendour... so I'll leave it at that for today :-)

Hey guys, Joe A. here with another one for ya’! Grab you a glass, pull up a bar stool and welcome to Fragrance Wars: The Booze Wars, where we’re putting the most boozy, barrel-aged, cocktail-inspired and barroom-souled fragrances from my collection head-to-head to answer one question: Which fragrance best captures the spirit of booze? This isn’t about chasing sweetness. And it’s definitely not about hype. This is about how booze shows up in fragrance: - Is it smooth or sharp? Sweet or bitter? - Realistic or stylized? Refined or rough? - A quiet sip… or a loud night out? To answer that, I broke this war into four archetypes, each representing a different way people experience booze and the different ways perfumery interprets it! We have "The Drinker", who lives for indulgence and smooth pours. We have "The Mixologist", who demands balance, bitterness and precision. We have "The Barrel", where time, oak and depth reign supreme. And finally, we have "The Barfly", raw, atmospheric, gritty and real. Each bracket represents one of these personalities. Each fragrance fights not just for votes, but for identity. 32 fragrances enter... Single elimination... One champion! By the end of this, we won’t just crown a winner, we’ll know what kind of drinker you really are. I’ll post the contenders and brackets soon. When voting comes, remember to cast your votes, defend your picks and don’t be afraid to stir the pot. Cheers! What say you, guys? How do you like your boozy fragrances: smooth and indulgent… or challenging and bold? What really matters more when booze shows up in a fragrance: the drink, the memory or the atmosphere? Ever had a scent instantly take you back to a bar or night you didn’t expect to remember, or maybe did NOT want to remember? As for the Booze Wars, which archetype are you voting for vs. which one do you actually wear? And finally, be honest… Drinker, Mixologist, Barrel or Barfly: which one are YOU really? Love to hear from ya’!
