Today’s ATH is Legend+. A fresh mass appealing frag that’s great for all seasons. I feel it can shine anywhere except brutal cold. Although it’s not like I work outdoors so honestly 4 season frag for me. Today is a beautiful 65 deg and sunny here. Perfect for this one. As with all the ATH I have, the quality of this is what pulls me in. Work safe and enjoyable. Longevity is good at about 6-7 hours. Projection isn’t offensive and not blowing doors off while still filling a smaller office setting. This is an odd one for me though in that it’s outside my usual jam. What pulls me into it is the high quality that Aaron produces.

I’m really thinking about buying one of these. I’m not going to blind buy but I do want the brothers opinion before I go to do some smelling.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen: As many of you know; my grandson who is 14 years old, came to me and tells me that that he wanted to be like me and dress like me, wear cologne like me. His reasoning is that he sees how people notice and respect me wherever we go. (Yes, I'm having a proud moment), The one thing that I did, was to teach him the way I was raised; if you can smell yourself then others can smell you, now this can be in a good way or a bad way. Either way the point was personal hygiene is crucial to oneself. My grandfather raised us men in the family that you always wear some type of cologne; at the time the cheap thing was Brute 33 and Old Spice. Now, I am not going to spend hundreds of dollars on cologne for a 14-year-old boy unless he is on stage with his four brothers (the Jacksons Five, the older generation). But I wanted to teach him the same values I was raised with, so I buy the generic versions that I found of name brand colognes so he can learn and also build confidence in himself. I had to attend a parent teacher conference at his school, and I had never been in the school before nor have I met any of his teachers or the office staff, ( let me paint picture; I'm black and he is white) ( paint, lol sorry, I digress) but when I walked in everyone knew who I was and who my grandson was. In speaking to his teachers, all of them had one thing in common, they all complimented on how nice my grandson smelled every day and how they loved that he wore different fragrances all the time. Some teachers actually said, they have him sit next to them because he smells great all the time, (little creepy but I get it), some say they have him by the door, because unfortunately some kids do not have proper hygiene and the tend to bring that odor in the classroom with them so when other teachers and adults walk in they smell my grandson first, (again creepy but I get it). I personally get compliments all the time on my colognes and yes, even some made the comments" I am so glad you are here because someone has bad body odor." I have been to conferences where people have asked me to sit at their table because they had someone there that did not have a favorable odor on them.

I’m going to Crete in September with my wife for our 10 year anniversary. I have an evening scent but I need a good daytime beach/exploring scent temps should be between 68-82F

Good morning, Fragrance Family, and happy Friday. Today marks the first day of spring, and Chicago is blessing us with temperatures in the 60s. Definitely unseasonably warm for this time of year, but I am going to enjoy every bit of it. I am also looking forward to some fun with my grandsons this weekend when they come in from out of town. My scent of the day is what I like to call Santal Austral Overdose. I layered both the EDP and Extrait formulations from Matiere Premiere, and this has officially taken the crown as my favorite sandalwood fragrance of all time. It is woody, slightly floral, and gently sweet, with a sandalwood accord that gives the fragrance such a deep, smooth, luxurious flow. Layering the EDP and Extrait takes it to another level. It adds more projection and creates an impenetrable sillage bubble that lasts for hours. This fragrance is absolutely ironclad. 10.00 Have a fantastic Friday and enjoy the day, fam.
