Day two of my thumbing through my Imaginary Authors Discovery Set finds me on the chapter Bull's Blood 2nd Edition, a Chypre Floral fragrance for women and men. The notes are: Geranium, Spanish Rose, Patchouli, Black Musk, Tobacco, Sandalwood, Bull’s Blood. "The women and men in these pages are lovers and brawlers, bullfighters and boxers, soft talkers and hard drinkers. They inhabit dusty Spanish villages and dank, dark brothels. At the heart of these unforgettable characters is a determined and undying passion that pushes them to make extraordinary decisions in the face of fear. Their fates are varied but the outcome is always the same, these are stories that grip you by the throat and don’t let go until you profess your devotion. Seductive and steadfast, this classic is not for the faint of heart but for the full of heart." From Imaginary Authors: "No other fragrance in our line balances brutality and elegance like this beast. Ignore the glares, take the bull by horns, and show the world who’s boss. " I’ll follow up later today.

Good Saturday morning to the fragrance family. It’s a dreary, bone-chilling 22-degree morning here in Chicago, the kind of cold that makes you slow down and reach for something comforting yet refined. My scent of the day is Santal Austral by Matière Première, a beautifully crafted sandalwood that feels smooth, creamy, and quietly confident in this weather. The sillage is fantastic, leaving a soft but noticeable trail that feels elegant rather than overpowering, while the projection stays moderate and well-mannered, perfect for a relaxed Saturday. It wears close but still makes its presence known, wrapping you in a warm, polished aura that fits the gray skies just right. Overall, this one delivers a classy, composed experience, and I’m giving it a solid 8.75. Stay warm and scented, fam.
