Got a bunch of samples from my last store visit:
- Boss The Scent EDT
- Montblanc Explorer (new batch)
- Terre d’Hermès EDP Intense
- Moncler Pour Homme & Femme (couples duo)
- Moncler Sunrise EDP
I also tested two fragrances in-store.
First was Maison Margiela Up At Dawn. It’s an airy, earthy, musky rose. Very uplifting and clean. Feels properly unisex to me, though for a lot of people it would probably lean feminine. If you like rose, this is a must-try. It smells like walking through a fresh rose garden like it says on the bottle.
Then I tried Scandal Elixir. Opening has a really nice cherry note. It feels like JPGs take on Stronger With You Powerfully. From a first impression, Absolu is still my favourite flanker. Same core perfumers here, with additional support from Louise Turner, which is interesting given her iconic work on Lost Cherry. I think this one needs a full skin test. It feels like it could evolve quite differently off paper. Definitely one I want to try properly before warmer weather kicks in.
