While I’m finishing up my work trip in some Warmer weather I thought I’d break out the heritage scent. Floris #89 is a signature scent for the brand. Definitely lighter and crispy and gives me a sense that I’m ready for spring even though I’m heading back to the cold soon. Warmer days are ahead!!

Hey good people! I received a few bottles over the past few days, and I couldn’t be happier. Here are some of the new additions: PdM Oajan PdM Greenley ELO Sous le Pont de Mirabeau Guerlain Homme Idéal Cologne (backup) ATH Boss Bastard Xerjoff Allende (Shooting Stars line) Oajan and Greenley both came through trades, and each is about 50% full. Oajan is an absolute cold-weather king: rich cinnamon, honey, and tonka with that signature PdM smoothness. Greenley, on the other hand, is the total opposite, bright green apple, fresh, and perfect for spring and summer. Sous le Pont de Mirabeau is one I discovered last summer, and it left a great impression. It’s fresh, clean, and very easy to wear, one of those effortless “grab and go” scents. It’s currently available at FragranceBuy for a very affordable price (around $63 USD), which makes it an easy recommendation. (If you like Nishane EGE you will like this one) Homme Idéal Cologne is backup-worthy, no question. That almond-citrus freshness is addictive, classy, and perfect for hot weather. It’s one of the best fresh designer releases Guerlain ever made, and since it’s discontinued, finding a BNIB 50 ml was an easy yes. ATH Boss Bastard was a steal. It’s basically missing only test sprays, and I paid $120 USD. This one is bold, sweet, and powerful fruity, boozy, and unapologetically loud in the best ATH way. Definitely not for everyone! Xerjoff Allende was an impulse buy after seeing the deal on FragranceBuy, and I’m glad I pulled the trigger. It’s a beautiful floral-vanilla with a soft cacao nuance that gives it depth and a slightly gourmand edge without being heavy. The drydown is smooth, elegant, and very Xerjoff. Now the best part: as many of you know, the Xerjoff Shooting Stars collection comes with a pouch containing a small piece of meteorite. This is my second one from the line, and honestly… I don’t think I’m stopping anytime soon. Check out the presentation!!
