I received my bottle of Liwa today, my third fragrance from the Widian line. I've been drawn to this house since purchasing Aswan. After I got London (recommended by BoS, particularly @Paul Bartnicki) I developed an incredible itch for more. Liwa is highly recommended, and I am anxious to try even more.

For a wet start to the day and knowing, as of now, I’m still walking a construction site, I’m going with something that reviews seem to say should be wearable on a rainy overcast day. Opens nice, so we shall see.

Gents, Color me intrigued. This is the 3rd Givenchy I’ve tried now (my first night with this one) and damn I’m impressed. I’m not sure if the whole Gentleman line fits this bill (I have more samples coming this week), but for a fall/winter/date night fragrance…they just keep hitting the mark. I’ve tried the Intense EDT and Privee (definitely a favorite) and they don’t lose right now. I love the sharp, masculine woodiness that comes out. While I’m not against sweet, there is a difference between a mature sweetness and a playful sweetness and this comes across very mature. The woodiness, cacao and pepper are really giving this kind of a sexy incense smell. Not like something at a hippy store, but something more elevated. Man - I can’t wait to try the rest of the line because I’m looking for some solid starting blocks for my fall/winter lineup and especially some darker/deeper/mature frags for date night and I’m loving what Givenchy is selling right now. Have a hell of an evening gents 💪🏽

@Jermaine Carolina inspired me, today is Xerjoff Bouquet Idéale EDP with Cremo Vintage Suede Layered on top. I smell damn fine Y'all. Niche meets Target brand 💪

---I am richer for enjoying what I own.--- What say you, Gents? Not to mention richer in spirit, I'm also richer in wallet! I looked back on my average monthly fragrance expenditures and realized how much I've saved thus far! For those who know how big my collection is, that's a chunk of change. How about you guys, have you noticed more money in your bank account this month? How does it feel? Love to hear from ya'!
