Day four of my Armani adventure brings me to the aquatic side. Acqua di Giò Profumo by Giorgio Armani is a Aromatic Aquatic fragrance for men. Top notes are Sea Notes and Bergamot; middle notes are Rosemary, Sage and Geranium; base notes are Incense and Patchouli.

I've been neglecting this one lately with all my new decants I've been trying. Needs some love. The most unique of my grab n' go bottles.

I am getting me some office complant designer fragances. This one opens citrus minty, very light and fresh and greenish plus it has a little bit of sweetness, it then settles down to a pleasant skin close scent, that keeps the notes just a bit less bright. There should be some coffee in there, I hoped for it, but I don’t smell it, so maybe its in the somewhat spicy mix up that the drydown has. Its a fine fragrance for my purpose here and - for sure - it will not bother anyone at the office. Surprisingly, it was exactly what I looked for end needed

I was on the Dua site recently as I'm thinking of getting their takes on Dior Homme Eau and their 2008 Dior Homme Intense and came across something that captured my attention. Now, I've heard of hybrids but now I've seen tribrids and quadbrids. Specifically, this quadbrid: "Imagine Poseidon Chilling At The Pacific With Fire God" - say that 5 times fast. This is a combination of 4 fragrances - Imagination, Pacific Chill, Aventus and God of Fire. Initially, I was intrigued, but after a minute I was like "That seems like overkill", then I looked at the notes - NOTES: Pineapple, Calabrian Bergamot, Citron, Black Currant, Sicilian Orange, Tunisian Neroli, Mint, Coriander, Apricot, Basil, Ceylon Cinnamon, Chinese Black Tea, Apple, Mango, Lemon, Nigerian Ginger, Red Berries, Coumarin, Amber, Cypriol, Oud, Moroccan Jasmine, Musk, Oakmoss, Carrot Seeds, May Rose, Dates, Fig, Ambrette, Ambroxan, Olibanum, Guaiac Wood, Ambergris, & Vanilla. I"m thinking how the heck does all that go together? I am still kind of intrigued and wanted to know if anyone else tried this one out? There is another quad that caught my eye too - "Gone Swimming In Savages Bleu Supernova" - a combo of Bleau de Chanel edt , Elysium, Sauvage edt and Afternoon Swim.

I just rearranged my bottles this weekend trying to go cold weather frags on the left, year rounds in the middle and warm weather on the right. After I did this and looked it over I realized my collection breaks down like this: Cooler weather - 40%, Year round - 40%, Warmer - 20%. My decants kind of break down the same way. This got me thinking that most summer frags never really grabbed me - they either bore me with their generic "fresh and/or citrusy" notes (like Eros Energy, AdG), or their performance on me is abysmal (Light Blue, Man Eau Fraiche) . I usually wear my year-rounders in the warm weather. Realized I'm looking for something different for summer. The ones I do have full bottles of are Vulcan Feu, L'eau D'Issey, AP Marwa, Prada L'Homme to name a few. So basically this post is looking for recommendations for summer/high heat frags that are a little "left of center" that last.
