Thank you to one of our Brothers for trading this fragrance that I have been trying to acquire for a while. Really appreciate the camaraderie.

I didn’t see this coming!

I have been eyeing The Spirit of Dubai for some time, but the price point always gave me pause. Blind buying a full bottle felt too risky, and even their sample sets run around $140, making the house feel slightly out of reach. Fortunately, I found a deal at Scent Angel. They were running a sale on testers for $100, and an additional 10% discount brought a 50ml bottle of Ajyal down to just $90. The only drawback was the lack of a cap, but considering a bottle with the cap was an extra $95, I can definitely live without it! Describing this fragrance is extremely difficult. After wearing it back-to-back for two days, I’m still trying to figure it out—it’s like wearing multiple fragrances in one. In the opening, I get a vibe similar to Xerjoff’s Erba Pura but with a distinct hit of mango. Interestingly, the official notes don't even list mango, but that tropical fruitiness is definitely there. This part projects heavily for about three hours before it starts to shift. It transforms into an awesome floral aroma that feels very green and fresh, definitely staying away from being overly feminine. It eventually ends with a great musky, patchouli, and woody dry down. Overall, it’s a fantastic summer fragrance with elite longevity, lasting 10+ hours on skin and over 24 hours on clothes. If you can live without the beautiful, fancy cap, a tester is the way to go.

Since I was 13 I’ve always wanted cologne to become the best smelling dude in the room. So my collection started off with obvious fakes 😭. Kicked things of with “One Bilion” in an all glass bottle with printed on letters. Then a bunch of other ridiculous names lol. Then one Christmas i was lucky enough to get my first ever REAL designer cologne: Versace pour homme. I love this cologne for so many reasons. Except longevity lol. I originally wanted my uncles cologne Mont Blanc explorer edp. I loved it so much, and it brought presence to the room. My main reason for getting into frags on th first place. But then I got my first job, and bought myself Calvin Klein one. Not that great of a purchase ngl 😭. But then got a few samples from Versace Eros najim. And then got one million royal for Christmas last year! So then that became my favourite cologne that I owned. And still is. And recently I ordered some more Cologne and love all 3! Creed aventus, azzaro the most wanted parfum and Bleu de Chanel edp. But yeah that’s basically me! Thanks for reading if you got this far. Means a lot to me. Aight Kearnsy out boys.

One of the most popular lines in the blue genre, with a clean, versatile, and mass-appealing profile. It was released in 2010, the first release from Chanel since 1999's Allure Homme. Created by the now retired master perfumer Jacques Polge, a Woody Aromatic fragrance, it blends traditional masculine notes with a contemporary, citrusy freshness. It opens with an sharp, energetic burst of grapefruit, lemon & mint, accented by the subtle heat of pink pepper. This opening is fizzy & bright, with an immediate sense of cleanliness. As it transitions into the heart, the citrus softens to make way for a spicy aromatic blend of ginger, nutmeg & jasmine, which adds a nice layer of warmth. The dry-down is where the fragrance reveals its woody character, settling into a smooth foundation of New Caledonian sandalwood, cedar & vetiver. An infusion of incense & labdanum gives the base a smoky, slightly resinous depth. For an edt, it performs rather well, lasting almost 6 hrs with good protection for the first 90m. After this it becomes more of a intimate scent. Its equally effective in a formal office setting as it is at a casual gym session. While it can be worn year-round, its bright citrus profile makes it particularly shine during the spring & summer months. Whether you are dressing up for a black-tie event or heading out for a weekend brunch you can't go far wrong with this. My Rating 7/10 Scent 2 Longevity 2 Sillage 2 Y/N 1
