Amouage / Beach Hut Man — pulling out another spring/summer favorite as the temps climb into the 90’s here today. Super green ( ivy ) minty and mossy with vetiver and woods in the dry down …

Tripped and accidentally fell into London. Thought id use this opportunity to try some of the fragrances my girlfriend has. Today it was rozu. Airy fresh and herbal rose fragrance. Been liking lighter rose frags like this and up at dawn. Performance is a bit meh for price

Horace for men / l'étiquette -- another lavender for after my shower tonight, but this one's entirely different, a cigarette-y/ashy/lavender that's very intimate and dry with some light iris, cypress and cashmeran holding the base ...

This recent heat wave in Colorado, prompted me to try out my travel-size Sea + Zephyr by Michael Malul this week. Here are my impressions from my first wearings. The opening note is ideal for a hot summer day, featuring a robust citrus and green herbs scent. It’s perfect when you want to smell fresh and clean. After about three minutes, I notice eucalyptus, reminiscent of the summer air fresheners at Bath & Body Works. The freshness persists strongly for the first hour. After that, the scent transitions to something similar to Aqua di Gio, with hints of rosemary and musk akin to Aqua di Gio Profondo, giving a good idea of what to expect. In terms of performance, the scent is quite potent initially, projecting strongly for the first hour. Afterwards, it settles closer to the skin and lasts around five hours, though with less projection. For me, this makes a great hot-day or everyday office fragrance. In a sea of blue scents, it holds its own; however, while it’s a nice option, it doesn’t stand out significantly among other blue fragrances on the market.
