After the post i made on favourite fragrance of the year, i noticed a lot of fragrance from the same house. So i wanted to ask what your favourite house was this year? I think for clones it was french avenue, designer is definitely Hugo Boss and niche is definitely amouage (even though i haven't tried any)

The final fragrance that completes the popular MYSLF trilogy. Here are my thoughts on L’Absolu. It opens fresh and spicy with bergamot, ginger, and cardamom. There’s a D&G The One-like impression in the opening, but built on the MYSLF backbone. After a minute or 2, the signature orange blossom and floral notes take over. To my nose, it’s mainly iris with some other white florals I can’t quite pinpoint. Around 30-45 minutes in, it started to remind me of Prada L’Homme Intense, but in a more muted and fresher way. At this stage, the patchouli slowly begins to creep in. As it develops further, the fragrance transforms into a deeper orange blossom, green patchouli, and woody composition. Easily the most complex release in the lineup. Throughout the dry-down, it reminded me of different fragrances, or parts of them, yet it still holds its own identity. It’s a very soapy-clean, spicy, floral, woody, and slightly green scent. Extremely well blended, refined, easy to wear, and mass appealing. Best suited for cool and colder seasons, though it can definitely work during spring and summer evenings. More of a special-occasion scent in my opinion, but it could also work as a daily wear if that’s your style. Performance is quite impressive. I got an easy 6 hours and it was still going strong. It started with around 2 feet of projection, settling to about 1 foot by the 2-hour mark. I expected it to fade by hour 4, but it stayed at that 1-foot range for a couple more hours, which was surprisingly good. Projection dipped around hour 5, then picked up again on its own. I’m expecting around 8-10 hours on skin and up to 12 hours on clothes. Finally, an Absolu that lives up to its name. One of the biggest downsides is the price. I saw it at around £101 for 100 ml after discount. While that isn’t outrageous, it’s worth noting this is after a 25% discount, which does push the value proposition a bit. Also, the orange blossom DNA is arguably done better in the Gucci Guilty line. While everyone is buying MYSLF right now, if I wanted a better version of this DNA, I’d personally look at Gucci Guilty Elixir or Gucci Guilty Absolu de Parfum.
