Latest Haul!

Good day gents!

So... had family coming to visit from the US, and got asked if there was anything I wanted them to haul to Guatemala. Well, I could think of a fragrance here and there I could use... but they had to say "We have a completely empty bag we can bring, so ask away". Well, if you say so...

Got a bottle of:

Mancera Intense French Riviera
M. Malul Ocean Noir Parfum
Upgraded my 50ml Boss Bottled Absolu with a 100ml one. Too good, even if not versatile at all for me here.
G&B Ingenious Ginger. My favorite by far of this ginger/grapefruit profile. Finally a full bottle.
Original Penguin Premium Blend. A HECK of a cheapie, awesome gym fragrance. Think I got this 100ml for $19.

This was a huge win for me. When importing myself, a general estimation is that the sum of all import costs is about 50% of the price of the bottle. Huge savings = More bottles! 😁

Looking forward to test Intense French Riviera and Ocean Noir Parfum. The Mancera was basically a blind-buy based on the opinions of the brothers that have tested it and comparing it to the OG, suggesting it was more versatile and much less sunscreeny, and Ocean Noir EDP quickly growing into one of my favorite fragrances of all time, has me very excited for the Parfum.

I don't think I'll be getting full bottles of anything in the short term, unless I find a total must-own for me on the decant haul heading my way. Only have two fragrances in my sights that came up on sale locally, at pretty good prices, with my credit card usually offering 15-25% extra discount on the store during June. If all of this matches, then yes, there are potentially two new ones coming.

Sadly, not testing much tonight . Has been a couple of very heavy and stressful weeks, and really need some sleep.

Have a good night!
