#sotd... Forbidden Fruit by Aromatix X French Avenue... First let me say if juiciness had a scent to it, this would be it! Forbidden Fruit is a sweet fruity fragrance with that bubble gum vibe to it. From the mid through the dry down you can expect a slight booziness and some woodsiness to show up while still maintainingthe sweetiness. I don't find this to being overly sweet but rather just enough. Great overall performance. I went 9 hours before refreshing. I give this a 9 out of 10.

Whats Good Brotherhood! Today we bring you the battle you didn’t even know you were waiting for… @Henry Clay and I teamed up to deliver The Battle of the Red Bottled Tobaccos:Mancera Red Tobacco vs. Paris Corner Wild & Tobacco. We swapped decants, gave both fragrances full wearings in real world conditions, and put them through their paces from opening to dry down. No quick sniffs. No mercy. And today, brothers… the results are in. LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE. 🥊 Henry’s review can be seen here after you are done with my take. https://www.skool.com/bos/fight-red-tobacco-vs-wild-and-tobacco-2?p=25a4b6c0 LEFT CORNER Fragrance: Wild & TobaccoHouse: Paris CornerRelease Year: 2021 Notes: - Top: Cinnamon, Green Apple, White Pear, Saffron, Incense, Nutmeg, Oud - Mid: Patchouli, Jasmine - Base: Madagascar Vanilla, Haitian Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, Sandalwood, White Musk, Tobacco, Amber RIGHT CORNER Fragrance: Red TobaccoHouse: ManceraRelease Year: 2017Nose: Pierre Montale Notes: - Top: Cinnamon, Oud, Incense, Saffron, Nutmeg, Green Apple, White Pear - Mid: Patchouli, Jasmine - Base: Tobacco, Madagascar Vanilla, Amber, Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, White Musk, Haitian Vetiver THE SETUP: My original plan was to cut myself in half vertically and wear each fragrance on separate sides… but I decided to stay in one piece. Instead, I sprayed Wild & Tobacco on my entire left side (hand, arm, shoulder) and Red Tobacco on the right, equal sprays, equal placement, skin and clothing. THE OPENING BELL & DRYDOWN: Wild & Tobacco opens with a spicy pop of nutmeg, with tobacco immediately taking center stage and making it clear who the star of the show is. The opening leans a touch synthetic, but that fades fairly quickly and allows the good stuff to shine. Around the 20 minute mark, sweetness starts to emerge as vanilla rolls in, smoothing everything into a creamy, rich tobacco experience. By the one-hour mark, it fully settles into a soft, powdery vanilla-tobacco blend with zero harsh edges and it rides that smooth wave for the rest of the wear, projecting pretty confidently.
