I Wanted something decadent for today. I’m mostly working outside and won’t be around too many people so it seems I’ll be enjoying this the most myself. This is not your typical vanilla frag. The way they managed to capture the essence of fresh bread then tie it into a tasty vanilla is incredible here. Picture entering a bakery and the smell of freshly baked vanilla bread filling the room 🤤. This stuff smells good enough to eat. Performance is very good with projection around an hour then goes skin for an additional 5-6. Inexpensive and widely available this is definitely an under the radar gem from Lattafa’s pride collection and most definitely worth it if your into tasty like gourmands. Smell great brothers. Have a blessed day.

After wearing the decant I had several times last May/June and vibing with it, I finally found a deal I couldn’t pass up and pulled the trigger on my first full bottle from the house of Argos. First of all, we have to talk about the presentation. The box and the bottle are absolutely gorgeous, and the bottle is very heavy. This feels expensive, and it is. It’s as much art as it is a bottle of fragrance. UPS dropped it off this afternoon and I immediately put it on to head to the gym. Wow, Neptune’s Trident really shines when you’re moving! It opens with a big burst of tea that some may find harsh, but it had settled by the time I got into the gym. The rest of the crisp bergamot, mandarin, and marine opening really cuts right through the sweat, and throughout the workout I kept catching whiffs of the beautiful ambergris. Instant smile and confidence booster every time. I could smell myself, and I knew those around me could as well. It has solid projection and sillage, adding a ton of freshness to a high heat gym session. Outside the gym, this fragrance screams summer when the temperatures are climbing. While it may only be a 6 hour fragrance, it actually performs very well for how fresh it is. Quick comparison: I like this way more than Nishane Wulong Cha X. My sample of Wulong Cha X stayed super linear with a bold tea note that never really evolved. I wanted to wash off several times throughout the wear. Neptune’s Trident dries down so much nicer to me: more depth, more elegance. The plan is to keep this in my gym rotation for the next few months and eventually roll it in as a staple to my summer rotation. Final thoughts: I’m very happy to finally add this to the wardrobe! Would I pay the $350 retail price? No, but if you’re patient, you can find good deals on it. And that bottle, that bottle is art!
