It’s a cold and breezy Friday Night. All three of my loves are doing their thing. Home alone after a smoke at my lounge. Did Doordash and bought a treat for myself. Have a safe three day weekend folks!

Hey guys, Joe A. here with today's Scent of the Day : J-Scent Yuzu - Day 342.Parfumo lists it opening with lemon, thyme, bergamot, and orange, moving through yuzu, grapefruit, and lime, and settling into mandarin orange and rose.I know exactly what lane this is in, and I’m not mad at a sharp, tart, slightly herbal citrus that smells clean, awake, and like I made a good decision today.First Sniff: Like a citrus fragrance looked me dead in the eye and said, "Relax, Joe. I got this one."https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9UaiOb7L0QU

Went with Harmonious before bed tonight. Smooth, warm, slightly boozy with that creamy iris, soft leather, woods and vanilla underneath. Very polished and luxurious without being loud. The obvious comparison is Dior Homme Parfum. They definitely share that iris/leather DNA, but Harmonious feels smoother, sweeter and a little more rounded to me, especially with the rum, cognac and vanilla coming through. Not a clone of DHP, but absolutely in the same family. A really nice scent to wind down with tonight.

This one caught my attention because it takes that tropical Zanzibar DNA and makes it feel warmer and a little deeper. Bright lime and mandarin up top, creamy coconut and juicy guava through the middle, then vetiver, amber, musk and ambergris give it some weight underneath. Tropical and fresh, but with more of that warm sunset/evening feel instead of just straight beach vibes. Looking forward to spending some time with this one.

Trying something new with dupes that are meant to be applied differently. Coming soon.
