I feel like this fragrance isn’t that well known and doesn’t get a lot of love in the community. But it’s a wonderful aquatic scent with added notes of grapefruit and cardamom. It’s a great all-weather fragrance, and it’s very reasonably priced. It also comes in a beautiful bottle with a great pressurized atomizer. I know it’s one of the Rotten Rebel’s favorite fragrances, but I don’t hear too much about it. Admittedly the performance is a little weak, but I wear it often, and as you can see, I’m almost out! And I’m happily wearing it today!

I just picked this up at Macy's. Yes I know I know...almost $200 is crazy and I should have waited till it hits discounters. But seeing as how the OG The One EDP is one of my holy grail fragrances, I just couldn't wait! And I'm happy to report that this is every bit as good as I thought it would be. It takes that The One DNA (which is already amazing) and makes it darker, richer, bolder, and from what I can tell improves on the performance as well. If you like the original, you're going to like this one too. On a side note, I also tried out the new EDP formulation while I was there, and sadly I wasn't as crazy about that one. I still prefer the original EDP to the new one. But this new parfum is top notch! Again, if you love the original EDP, you need to get your nose on this one!

Still crazy cold out where I am, so a bit of sweetness in the air helps the day go by! This one is very close to Khamra, except it doesn’t have the buttery base underneath. It’s still sweet and crowd pleasing, which I enjoy very much. Angel’s’ Share is reserved for mostly holidays and special occasions, where this is more of an everyday type of wear.

Going with an oldie but goodie today on a humid foggy morning in the bayou. A PT taping session, a trip to a customer and a brief job site visit to drop off some samples and it’s off to the home of the birth place of Mardi Gras, although we do it better in New Orleans, Mobile Alabama. An Aromatic Aquatic fragrance for men with top notes are Lime, Lemon, Bergamot, Jasmine, Orange, Mandarin Orange and Neroli; middle notes are Sea Notes, Jasmine, Calone, Rosemary, Peach, Freesia, Hiacynth, Cyclamen, Violet, Coriander, Rose, Nutmeg and Mignonette; base notes are White Musk, Cedar, Oakmoss, Patchouli and Amber. Inspired by beauty of Pantellerie, where he spent his vacation, Armani created the aroma of Aqua di Gio for men and women. The fragrance for men is a scent of freedom, full of wind and water. The composition is built of a perfect harmony of sweet and salty notes of sea water and nuances of sunny warmth on your skin. Aqua di Gio is full of scorching Mediterranean sun. Bitter citrus with aromatic nuance of rosemary intertwines with salty, sea nuances and pellucid hedione. Sharp notes of spices are softened by woody base with warm, musky trail.

I was at Kohl's today, so I couldn't help but stop by Sephora's before leaving. I happened to see they had the new Prada in stock so I gave it a try. I liked it off of strip, but wasn't blown away by it, but still picked up a 10ml small bottle to give it some wearings to further test it out. It's fresh and green right away and then quickly dries down to something that would fit into a YSL line in my opinion. Fresh and clean but not very original. It smells very familiar, but pleasant. I'll do some further testing and write up something at a later date. Have you tried this one yet? If so, what do you think of it?
