Went with a bit of a darker frag today at least by my standards. It has a nice raspberry open followed by a smooth lavender and very nice leather note. My only gripe with it is the raspberry is gone like a fart in the wind lol. https://www.skool.com/bos/sotevening-azzaro-forever-wanted-elixir?p=b9684339

Anyone in the Dallas area, or anyone that has experience in fragrance shopping, that can tell me where the best locations are? Im tracking Neiman Marcus at Northpark, the Le Labo store, and The Scent Room. Anywhere else I should be visiting. Ill be there in a couple of weeks.

So I had the chance to visit the Merchant of Venice boutique while in Venice. After smelling the lineup, I decided on Venetian Blue. While at the shop, I chose this one because it seemed very likable, like most blue fragrances, but it had a nice maturity. Full review coming soon.

My favourite fragrance by a country mile. That 80-year-old Oud is tempered with a delicious spicy sweetness. This stuff lasts for literal days, even at one or two sprays. Not blind buy or office safe. I’m WFH today so I get to wallow in the decadence. 100ml bottle was a gift from my amazing wife.
