Hey Guys Joe A. here with another one for ya'! Today's frag: Penhaligon's Sartorial. OMG!!! So, what do a northwestern lumberjack, a south Texas cattle rancher, a NY stock exchange broker, a Miami drug kingpin, and an antebellum southern genteelman all have in common? That's right, these manly men are the images I get when smelling Sartorial!! This fragrance is the absolute king of "Barbershop" scents, hands-down. Fashioned as a fougere-like scent, I'm hit with a blast of cardamom and beeswax smoothly blended with lavender and leather. It's an absolute must have folks!! I have to say, I've worn this before, so today I limited my sprays to a paltry 4! This frag is strong and projects, I believe you can kill yourself if you overspray. Sartorial also lasts and lasts and has a large projection for at least the first four hours. It has a deep and rich scent, perfect balance between sweet and leathery. After the dry-down, the leather comes out fully and still radiates about a foot or so around you. Smelling this, I felt I had to dress a bit better. It's that good!! This scent I would characterize as the very definition of "Barbershop", refined and mature. I see older gentlemen wearing this, if you're in your twenties or so, forget about it, unless you're in your best suit (think Don Corleone) It can be used in the office but lay off the trigger!! I have no scent comparisons but it's beast mode beats out Red Tobacco!! Longevity: over 12 hrs, Sillage: Strong for 4 hrs, afterwards Moderate. Projection: Moderate. Final Verdict: Guys, even as Joe Average, save up your spare change! Look under the couch cushions, roll your quarters, pick up any loose nickels and pennies (even the face down ones). Take change from the wishing well if you have to (no, no, don't steal...) Do whatever you have to to get the funds for this fragrance. It is absolutely worth it! Fall, Winter, Spring, day or night! And because you don't need much sprays, this'll last! I give this one an 11/10 simply because it's my defining frag in this category. All others have a high bar to reach!!

Hey good people! It’s a very cool (not cold) day here in Northern Canada. Temperatures hit the high 30s, which is very rare for this time of year! I decided to spray this new arrival, and honestly, I’m super impressed. For me, it’s the perfect office scent. Think of Mojave Ghost as that effortlessly cool friend who always looks put together without trying. It opens with soft, warm florals and a sun-baked vibe, not sweet, not spicy, just clean warmth. It’s airy, gentle, and totally wearable for almost any occasion. Longevity? Not bad at all. I sprayed around 7 a.m., and at 2:45 p.m. it’s still there, very close to the skin. I’d say a solid 6 hours with moderate projection. Clean floral-woody that’s sexy without trying too hard. Safe? Yes. Boring? Not quite. It’s classy, comfy, and universally pleasing, the kind of starter elegant scent many people will enjoy.
