I am so excited about this I couldn't wait to come in here and post. Y'all know I'm a HUGE fan of Imaginary Authors. I joined their loyalty program when it was created in 2024 and I've been buying their fragrances exclusively on the website to get into higher and higher levels. Each level has better and better perks. At level 3 you get access to their Rare Books Room which has some of their discontinued and sold out fragrances available. At level 4, they offer an exclusive fragrance available only to people who have reached that level. Level 5 - the highest, which I have not yet reached - gives insider access to fragrances in development and a $200 loyalty reward on your birthday. They have teased the Level 4 exclusive fragrance for about a year now, showing the name, Hall of Hallucination, but also showing it as unavailable. It finally released last week, and I used some of my tax return to jump on it. I've been waiting like a kid on Christmas for it to show up in my mailbox, and it arrived today, two days early! It's now the most expensive fragrance that I've paid full price for in my collection. Doing the initial out of box test spray, I am overjoyed. It's beautiful. Funky, kind of weird, and lives up to the name. It just popped up on Fragrantica, and I got to be the first one to click "I Have." I'm so happy right now I could burst. I'll do a full review in a couple of weeks when I've had some time to wear it for a bit and get to know it better, but so far I'm absolutely chuffed. :D The samples that came with it were for Bull's Blood and Slow Explosions. It also came with a free tote bag.

Hi all, my son and I've started this new business in the men's personal fragrance space. He creates his own, while I rebottle well-known brands into more affordable, sample and travel size bottles! Check us out at https://joeasdecants.com/

I got my sample in yesterday and sprayed it on last night. It opens with a deep, dark pomegranate note tempered with red fruity notes. The Oudh makes itself apparent fairly quickly and creates a very dark, rich, woody take on red fruit. It's like a glass of Pom in a fragrance. It's perfect for fall / winter / spring date nights and evenings out. It might work in the summer, too, but I'll have to wait to try that as we are having a very mild spring week at the moment with temps in the 60s and 70s (very unusual for this time of year in Texas). Longevity is monstrous. I did two test sprays on my wrist last night, and woke up with it still going strong. It was still very present even after taking a shower and washing my hands several times through out the day today. It finally disappeared around noon after eating lunch and wandering around the mall. It was also an excellent follow up to the Hall of Hallucination that I got yesterday, too. It definitely complimented the scent at the end of the day. This might be my favorite designer fragrance of the year so far. It releases in the US market, and you can test it at Nordstrom's on May 7th. I will definitely be getting a bottle, but at $250 for a full bottle, I'll be waiting a while for it, and hoping it shows up at discounters at some point. But if I do end up splurging at some point, don't be surprised. I liked it so much that today I went to Nordstrom's to check out the rest of Fugazzi's lineup and came home with samples of Angel Dust and Vanilla Haze. I'm definitely going to be checking out more from this house.

I’m in Neiman Marcus and there are only six fragrances, no arrangements with the distributor to restock.

Simple enough question— no wrong answer, but curiosity is present after reading a review about the staining of fragrances on clothing. I’m curious about how some of you may apply/ wear your fragrance:
