Hey guys, Joe A. here with today's Scent of the Day : Starry Nights by Montale - Day 312. Parfumo lists it opening with lemon and bergamot, moving into Bulgarian rose, jasmine, and patchouli, and settling on white musk, amber, and vanilla. I wanted to roll my eyes at how loud and synthetic it is, but it somehow keeps pulling me back in for another sniff. Like a Van Gogh painting, it's a mishmash of different pieces that come together in a weirdly enjoyable fashion. First Sniff: Like a rose put on too much confidence and somehow pulled it off. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Pe8p-saXcv0

This was a blind buy, door crasher sale purchase. I think i paid $25-30 CAD. I originally hated it and considered giving it away, but after letting it sit for a month, it got much better. Although it's still my least favorite fragrance in my collection. I can now enjoy wearing it when the occasion suits. Its a unique, sweet, and linear scent. Very powerful and long lasting! This is my worst blind buy experience, and all things considered, its still pretty good. (The experience was worth the price of admission, for me.)

9 PM Rebel by Afnan is a Aromatic Fruity fragrance for women and men. The nose behind this fragrance is Gaël Montero. Top notes are Pineapple, Granny Smith apple and Mandarin; middle notes are Oakmoss, Cedarwood and Vanilla; base notes are Dry Wood, Ambergris, Caramel and Musk.

Not as hot and humid today but still hazy and smokey, going with the fragrance I've used the most this summer so far - Rayhaan Aquatica. Inspired by Creed Virgin Island Water - it's got the lime and coconut blast that tones down a little and gets into the sweetness and a little floral. THE best bang for the buck fragrance I have. And, being I've had it for a few months now it's matured and gotten a little more complex.
