This is my first wear of this new release by ATH, part of his Infinite Darkness collection. It goes on sweet, and aromatic. The neroli and saffron seem to provide a rich floral sweetness, that soaks into the mid with warm cardamom, sandalwood, vanilla and tonka. There's a smooth tobacco/oud note that gives the fragrance a little masculine edge also. I was concerned that the civet would be too animalic, but it's not at all. This is a very rich, sensual fragrance that maintains something a little aromatic for about 1 1/2 hours. Projection is moderate for a couple of hours, then becomes mild. A little body heat would keep the sillage alive, but with just spraying on my arms, it's lighter than I expected. I might wear this to work, just to test it under a dress shirt on my chest and arms. Have a great night brothers! Top Notes: Black pepper, Neroli, Saffron. Heart Notes: Nutmeg, Cardamom, Tobacco. Base Notes: Sandalwood, Civet, Frankincense, Thai oud, Tonka bean absolute, Vanilla absolute.

2025 has been a year of learning and discovery for me in this world of fragrance. I started this journey in Dec of 2024 and joined BOS right out of the gate. I learned a ton, and developed some great relationships with you guys, however I started to post out of compulsion. My engagement began to feel like more of a responsibility than a creative or social outlet, so I set it aside, hence the huge gap in my profile. A couple of months ago, I plugged back in, and I'm truly enjoying the experience; reading, posting, and reacting at my own pace. I am being enriched by my involvement with this community, and I'm looking forward to it continuing. Anyway, here is where my "collection" started https://www.skool.com/bos/not-really-a-collection?p=040089d9 and here are pics of my current full-bottle collection, the decants that I'm working through, and my ATH acquisitions. The plan is to use the small bottles to help select big bottles lol, but I really like having a wide assortment of smaller bottles to choose from. I'm glad to be back with you guys, and I appreciate each one of you! Let's keep this thing moving in a direction that provides value for our members, and a positive bottom line for our fearless leader @Antonio Centeno !
