Taking the Floris Cefiro out for a spin today! Its going to be Sunny and 60 for most of the day today so I'm taking that as a sign that spring is here to stay! I've been waiting to try this one out from one of my favorite Heritage houses Floris This is starting out as a nice citrus lemon and bergamot. Projection starts off very well not a beast but certainly not overly tame. This one is reminding me why I love spring and warmer weather. We'll see how the dry down and longevity go. but so far I'm a fan! Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

Vulcan Sable is a rather good little edp from the French Avenue collection by Fragrance World, it was launched in early 2025, as an Oriental Woody dark, decadent aesthetic. While the perfumer is often kept under the brand’s house umbrella, the fragrance seems to be strongly influenced by the DNA found in the Chanel Bleu de Chanel Parfum, though it pivots toward a warmer, resinous, boozy direction. The presentation is particularly striking, featuring a deep sand-brown bottle adorned with a textured reptilian cap and a golden serpent coiled around the neck. You don't see that level of detail in western fragrances. It begins with a powerful, spirited opening led by a distinct whiskey note paired with the zesty freshness of mandarin orange, coriander, with a hint of anise. This boozy-citrus start is sharp & inviting, but quickly transitions into a creamy and aromatic heart. In the middle, cashmeran & tonka bean take center stage, with a velvety, smooth texture that is bolstered by the balsamic warmth of styrax. As the fragrance settles into its long-lasting base, it reveals a seductive finish of vanilla, benzoin, and patchouli. This dry-down is where the fragrance truly shines, an earthy yet sweet depth that balances the initial spice with a comforting, resinous glow. Performance wise, you can expect 5 to 6 hrs on skin, with a good projection for the first 2hrs. It has a noticeable but sophisticated scent trail. Due to its warm, boozy, and spicy profile, it is best suited for the fall and winter seasons, where the cold air allows the resinous base notes to bloom beautifully. It is an ideal choice for evening wear, formal events, or date nights, though its refined woodiness makes it versatile enough for professional settings My Rating 6.5/10 Scent 2 Longevity 2 Sillage 1.5 Y/N 1
