#sotd... Vetiver Glacier by Montblanc... This is a woody aromatic fragrance. This opens with a bitter vetiver that comes across like an Alpine freshness. The mid of Juniper gives it a green, slightly balsamic edge to it. The dry down for me is the prize of this fragrance. A warm, smokiness Layering with a clean musk powdery finish to round it out is really nice. I went 6 hours before refreshing. I would say a little light on the projection which makes it perfect for the office. I give this a 7.5 out of 10.i was expecting a little more from it being it is supposed to be Montblanc high end luxury line.

This is an atomic bomb. It opens very citrusy, sweet and spicy, being the cinnamon the star of the show. As some minutes pass by, that spiciness tones down to give some space to the cola and floral nuances to shine. As it dries down, it transitions to a sweet, woody and ambery and more refined and smooth aroma that keeps projecting and lasting forever. It’s more appropriate for cooler weather but could work on normal heat and any occasion with the right amount of sprays. It’s beautiful and unique. I also have the alternative from Paris Corner, Cherry Cola. It’s very close to Tonka Cola, but Cherry Cola comes across smoother, and less spicy than the OG. Also, while the OG seam spicier and sweeter at the dry down, Cherry Cola sims earthier, but also with great projection and longevity.

Burberry’s flagship men’s fragrance. Released in 2021, created by Antoine Maisondieu, the perfumer behind Montblanc Legend, Dior Homme Sport 2021, and a long line of reliable, well-balanced designer crowd-pleasers. Point of interest: this is one of the few modern fragrances designed entirely around a single, dominant heart material, the Cedarwood Trio, three distinct cedar essences blended to create depth, texture, and massive presence, rather than layering it behind heavy florals or unnecessary sweetness. It’s Aromatic Woody, stripped back, confident, and built around that core woody spine. It opens with Bergamot Essence, a bright, sparkling, crisp citrus that’s pure quality: zesty, fresh, and immediately uplifting. It’s a clean, precise opening that doesn’t linger too long, just enough to set a fresh stage before the real star takes over. The heart is where this lives and breathes: Cedarwood Trio, three cedar varieties working in perfect harmony: smooth Virginia cedar, dry Texas cedar, and rich Atlas cedar. Together they create a multi-layered woody core. Its clean, polished, slightly resinous, and incredibly persistent. This isn’t a thin cedar note, it’s rich, textured, and unmistakably the backbone of the whole scent. The dry-down wraps it all with unexpected simplicity: Black Pepper & Juniper. The pepper adds a warm, aromatic, spicy edge that cuts through the cedar’s smoothness, while juniper brings a cool, resinous, aromatic depth that circles back to the opening’s freshness. It’s a clever, circular structure: bright citrus, massive cedar, spicy-aromatic woody finish. Nothing out of place, nothing overdone. The performance is exactly what you’d expect from a well-made EDT. On skin I’m getting 4+ hours. Its respectable & reliable. With the monster bottle I have topping up throughout the day is not a problem. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then it settles into a tight, confident scent bubble that clings beautifully to clothing. This is an everyday signature, not a statement piece. It works everywhere: office, meetings, dates, casual days out, spring, summer, autumn, it simply fits. It’s safe, polished, and inoffensive. It’s one of the best modern designer examples out there — honest, well-crafted, and exactly what it claims to be.

This absolute beauty landed at my doorstep today and I had to put it on. This stuff is great and IMHO a fantastic flanker to the already very well done Red Rum. This now sits at #1 spot for favorite from the house. Congrats @Will Southard with this flanker, well done. Orris was a nice touch. Fragrance Notes: - Top: Black Cherry, Spiced Rum, Davana - Heart: Plum, Orris, Tobacco - Base: Sandalwood, Oak, French Vanilla Folks if this house is new to you, must check it out at https://www.thirdeyefragranceco.com/ Will is a good dude, great customer service and a fellow frag head. I think he is still a one man band. Put it on your calendar, it releases Aug 17th. Encourage you to pickup a discover set when you order this one as well

This is a Dua original. Woody, spicy with a sweet lavender base. The opening is a bit strong sweet lavender, more suitable for a nice designer house candle, but after a few minutes it starts to settle and you go more of that piney and woody forest with a hint of cardimom.
