The holiday party was a huge success, great turn out. Of course I was the fashionably late one but you know what the say, last one is the best one and that night I felt I was the best, everyone said the outfit was amazing, looked my best, the weight loss definitely helped out a lot. And let me say all the women kept saying I was the greatest smelling man of the party, one quote was "Xavier, you can't smell this good cause imma take you home right now if you do" well that was the highlight of the night hahahahaha. This was def the holiday I really enjoyed. The scent of the night was Alghabra- Eyes of the Seven Hills. Classy, initmate, sophisticated gentlemen scent.

This is one of my favorite purchases at Scentxplore 2025. Kensei is a tea, citrus, woody fragrance, before i go any further, this is nothing like lv imagination in fact this is the father of imagination who works a blue collar job, works out in a dark lit room hearing nothing but his yells and panting and sound of metal plates banging and clacking and when going to attend formal events, he is the man everyone sees and goes to, this is a little bit tea heavy with great citrus from Yuzu, Blood Orange, Mandarin and crisp Pear. Now that opening first spray is aromatic, refreshing but like I said nothing like imagination. You will constantly smell your hand because everything is addictive. In the drydown, it sort of mellows in a way where the citrus starts to become soothing with amberwood and cedar, the greens, the tea, and florals notes, giving a sweet green citrus aroma almost like a very expensive high quality tea. Now I haven't tried it out to see longevity and projection but will def it try it out tonight at work during the night watch hours

Wow, scentxplore 2025 was a huge hit, venue was completely huge, more vendors came through as well as reviewers on social media. Met a lot of people as well going to the panels for xerjoff and memo paris and hearing the perfumers story on how they started. Getting samples and samples. Almost 4 full bags, buying my first city rhythm fragrance, Puerto Rico, and getting signed by perfumer Niles D Ramadhin himself. As well as a discovery set from amouroud parfums, getting pictures with lorenzo pazzaglia and trying his 3 new unreleased products, that's not in their collection yet, but I can tell you its gin and Tonic vibes, cherry, fruit vibe and a dark coffee vibe. What an amazing turn out. Pictures will be uploaded soon.

Hey guys and gals. Xavier here, I'm still alive and well, been on a cleansing journey (not from fragrances) but on my overall health, shed of around 40lbs or so. Told myself this has to change for me, because I want to be with my family longer you know, but yes still collecting frags and let me tell you don't sleep on french avenue Vulcan black friday such a black tie, make a first impression scent where you will get heads turned, also rayhaan valhalla more manly scent of angel share paradis that's not overly sweet except from the raspberry but mixed with the cognac is amazing, rayhaan terra think of amouage outlands but its the dry down which is the best part, I got so many compliments, especially from the ladies, they loved that warm ambery vanilla scent that's really rich and dark in a way, (the very lovely sgt said a few nice words that made a man like me bashful lol). Picked up also valentino green stravaganza, one of the best fresh spicy scent profiles, thst you can def wear daily, lunch date, casual, business, office wherever, does not disappoint. And lastly picked up afnan supremacy collector edition, okay I'm late this I'll admit, but this is not a 1 to 1 to aventus absolute but it gets the job done, the pineapple is more prominent then the OG, but OG is still the king but this is second in command in my opinion not to harsh such a people pleaser scent. Also who is going to the NYC scentxplore. Am I gonna see some of my fellow friends over there please let me know. Anyway I gotta get on my flight back to nyc from Miami, take care my fellow smelly water enthusiasts, smell great. Also my SOTD is afnan mega of the best ysl y edp dupes, that apple scent that we all love from the original is more open and such a compliment puller saying it's clean. Fresh, almost like a linen freshness aroma.

Hey everyone how it going, sorry been away and constantly working, battling demons from the change of schedule from work and drama. I'm okay now 10x better then before. I know haven't I've been here lately, still think about everyone here. My love for the game still going strong and just bought my tix for scentxplore 2025 in nyc can't wait. Hope yall doing great take care and good night
