Well today brothers I am trying a new to me frag in a sample atomizer that I got with a purchase recently. Fun fact is I actually enjoy this one!!! Warm rum splashed over all the notes. This isn't a progressive fragrance but very linear. Decent projection and sillage. Longevity is about 4-6 hrs before becoming more of a softer skin scent. Calming and relaxing. Safe as an office scent.

Today, since I'm staying home, I'm wearing a fragrance that I think smells incredible, even if it's not a crowd-pleaser around me: Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli. This is a beautiful, divisive scent that blends deep, rich Oud with bright, exotic Passion Fruit, known as Maracujá in Portuguese. The name literally describes the experience: eating passion fruit in an oud forest! Since so many people are curious about the name, and as a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, I recorded how it sounds in the attached file. For those curious, Maracujá is pronounced roughly like: mah-rah-koo-ZHAH. I love this unique contrast! What is your favorite unique or "challenging" fragrance that you save for days when you don't need to worry about pleasing anyone else?
