I am sharing this because I love this frag and it's the best deal I have seen so far.. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F4nnlXGM%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExU2h6NGdBZjkxbHVDeTR6aXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7om-7ewXUZtNp-rfSpZnQe9g_PCUSv-ZLY5yZxqsiZhq8pYDGf1v7eciqoXg_aem_4YncROapEHgdyCw05owDRw&h=AT0bx8o22BsgjJZZ8JdWru7BHyMrYXNzmI58Xph8T1GJSvvESjgtGGPIHPI4HH8S0ZRYB-6uJbpeeKBV8Va-SWZQKKb2SCgmA3WL7sfMRWnpk6yiabzV49YyEmOznKgwrFr_VIrAf11VGMrT&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT2_B9svmzuiz4dYHGObzcF2ZtCT8a_-IHOJeo94rAVM1fzATQGXNFqPupkz4Ktv5WswiOrVX_MO5QkJ-SLIEr62xbcSUQcGrDq2ba_0TVKQ-lDzFdxzTmxJiw0_bsygbR9XR7NbrdTI3Q6aU_xLP5X84Dc7ZFmV12tsgx440VrBS-oloSxLo-eh9Upk2u8RJ7BLoiHPTQjwK7M3xyu37wYOYA https://www.fragrancenet.com/cologne/tumi/tumi-19-degree/extrait-de-parfum?mv_pc=gawus_surf_501559&utm_campaign=FhzxmDPEHcA&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_source=LS#501559

Something which blends well with this cool weather. I admit when I first purchased this it was a blind buy and I wasn’t a big fan but over time it has grown on me. The leather in this is just right, not heavy, quite subtle but noticeable but the only gripe is the same as everybody else’s - the raspberry note; just wish it lasted longer.

Here’s a bunch of upcoming releases (unless already released at the time of posting) for upcoming fragrances. Check out Gent Scents for any info on these, some he has only been told about so no notes or bottles available to see yet. Usually I post photos of what I can obtain but in a rush today so just posted the names… Dolce & Gabbana The One EDP 2025 Dolce & Gabbana The One Parfum Dolce & Gabbana K Elixir Acqua Di Gio EDP Intense Stronger With You Spice Stronger With You Powerfully YSL Y Iced JPG Le Male In Blue Al Wataniah Kayaan Terra Afnan Lynked Freedom (Out Now) Lattafa Maahir Honor Jo Milano Game Of Spades Topaz (Out Now)

I was hoping to try it out this Monday and continue the MYSLF Trinity, but my parcel got delayed so I tested it today. Here’s what I think. The opening is lovely, with a burst of black pepper followed by the classic MYSLF orange blossom. The pepper disappears almost instantly. In this version the opening leans slightly bubblegummy, almost Invictus-like, which I actually enjoyed. The base brings vanilla, amber, powdery patchouli and woods. It feels semi linear because the top and middle notes remain close to the opening, while the base becomes the main character after the first 30 minutes, still anchored by the orange blossom. The fragrance is smooth and creamy, ambery sweet and floral. Very inoffensive and highly mass appealing. Already miles better than the EDP in terms of profile. Le Parfum feels much closer to Gucci Guilty Lover Edition than to MYSLF EDP. The performance is where I’m less impressed. I get about an hour of projection at roughly one foot, then it settles closer, around four to eight inches. Four hours in, I can still smell it. I expect a total of 6-7 hours. It might benefit from overspraying, or you could simply treat it as an intimate scent.From experience, samples usually underperform on my skin, so I’m not factoring it into the score. Overall I’d give it a solid 8.5/10. It isn’t groundbreaking, but if you want a modern, universally appealing, compliment friendly fragrance you can wear anywhere, it delivers. A great addition to almost any collection. Now I need to compare it directly with GG Love to see which one I prefer. One more left in the lineup, l’Absolu, and then I’ll share my thoughts on the full range and possibly compare it with the GG line. What do you think of this one?

A recent post by @Dave Anderson recently rekindled my interest in exploring the Bad boy line. I have come Herrera in my collection but not Bad boy. So after a sucessfull first Christmas shopping excursion, I nipped into my local and pit my nose on both the Bad Boy Elixir. Before I even had my nose on both the young lady handed over a sample of the new Prada Paradigme for me to try out which was kinda nice I thought. Anyway, although both were nice and enjoyable, the Bad Boy Elixir stood out a touch for me. It's an intense, sophisticated ever so slightly dark with a rich, refined leather and woody profile. To be honest I was sold with the Amber & leather. Hard to believe it was only released this year. The perfumers behind it are Quentin Bisch and Louise Turner. With top notes of Sage and Lavender, giving an initial burst of herbal and aromatic freshness. The heart consists of a gorgeous Leather Accord and Iris The core of the fragrance—a smooth, refined, and slightly smoky leather that shines throughout whilst the Iris adds a touch of creamy powderiness. At the base, Cedarwood and Olibanum, provide a deep, grounding dry-down of warm, dry wood and subtle smokiness from the olibanum. Their is also a touch of cocoa/tonka bean, adding a mild, non-sugary sweetness. As an edp, this elixir actually last real well, I'm getting a solid 8+ hrs on skin. It projects extremely well in the opening,leaving a noticeable scent trail It tends to calm down after the first hour or two, settling into an impressive and noticeable scent bubble. This is extremely versatile and will work well in most situations. But is best suited for Cooler Weather were it's scent profile can truly shine. This is my first and only Bad boy to date, so I can't make any comparisons except that I favoured it over the Cobalt elixir in store. The lightning bolt bottle is super cool, but an awkward fit on my shelf right now. Who knows perhaps in time another bottle or two may be added to keep it company?
