Good Morning Brotherhood another warm rainy day in the Chi sitting comfortably in the high 60s and I’m not mad at it at all. One day closer to the weekend and I’m determined to get at least one solid day of real rest in because it’s been nonstop lately. Now for the scent of the day… this one is a bit of a letdown story. About a month ago I grabbed some samples from the house of Zaharoff after hearing a lot of hype from the Brotherhood of Scent, and I even secured a full bottle on the secondhand market at a steal thinking I struck gold. Today I went with Signature Seraphim Red. On paper, this one checks boxes I typically enjoy. It opens with that salty aquatic breeze that gives you a fresh ocean air vibe, followed by light florals that keep things airy and slightly sweet. As it settles, you get a soft resinous woody base that should anchor the composition. Sounds like a win… but the execution just isn’t there for me. About two hours into this wear and I had to overspray heavily just to get anything noticeable, which is almost unheard of in my rotation. Projection is virtually nonexistent—it’s sitting extremely close to the skin, and even at my desk I have to search for it. The sillage follows suit… someone would have to be well within arm’s reach to even catch a hint of this. Now to be fair, it’s not a bad fragrance—it’s actually quite pleasant in a soft, understated way. But for my taste and expectations, especially with all the hype behind it, this just doesn’t move the needle. At best, I see this as a bedtime or intimate setting scent. Unfortunately, this one is not full bottle worthy for me. Final rating: 6.75 Make it a great day and keep pushing forward OutCasts 👊🏾

Any of you guys ever have an issue with Jomashop delivery times? I ordered a tester bottle of Vibrato over three weeks ago and it still hasn’t shipped. They had it shown as “in stock - usually ships in 2-3 days” at the time and it says that it was in stock on my order history. It went “out of stock” on the site as soon as I bought it but now the product page is showing as “usually ships in 2-3 weeks”. Automated customer service just says it is expected to ship soon. This ever happen to anyone else? If I wanted to wait 2+ months I would have ordered at The Parfums
