Preparing for snow Armageddon here in southern Wisconsin over the next three days. Welcome to March! Well day three of my ATH challenge is here and alphabetically landed on the now named Censored Elixir due to legal naming rights issues. I will just cut to the chase on this beautiful frag and say it’s a 9.9/10. Why not 10/10? It’s just too sweet for a hot summer day unless indoors for me. And the pricing lately is abhorrent. Absolutely office safe and unisex. In fact my twin sister made this her fave of my collection and absconded with her own 10ml from my bottle. 😂 Max aroma has definitely gone up on the pricing for sure in the last year. Yes the cost is prohibitively high and all the numbers I’m seeing currently are around $4-$5 per ml in a 100ml bottle. Thats not attainable for many in the current market. I was lucky to score my current stock when it was slightly better pricing. Supply and demand along with Aaron’s OCD with quality limits what is available. Plus I honestly think it is also a marketing ploy. Over the last two years this house has completely exploded the market. Why???? QUALITY!!!!!! You may not like a certain scent profile(I haven’t found one yet). Though if you’re being honest with yourself you have to agree he creates some of the highest quality frags out there. Personally I’d put him in my top 3 quality level houses out there. What say you brothers???

A Zoologist review; almost as rare as a Dodo. Dodo Jackfruit is not what I expected at all. I expected Zoologist, which is to say Animalic niche. Zoologist does not ordinarily pull its punches. Wearable releases are more like Harvest Mouse and less like Squid. The original Dodo was not much of an exception. It was a pungent tropical fruit fragrance with musk, and it was polarizing. The Jackfruit doesn't intensify this, it scales it back. This fragrance is a completely wearable aromatic fougére. In fact, it's very pleasant and refined. The opening has a nice and spicy mix of jackfruit and turmeric, but the core is a dense tonka and sandalwood. It's relaxing and clean. It's much like Brut, but it leans towards the calm vanillic style of Sartorial. I would recommend this to someone that loves Sartorial but wants a little more spice and punch. This is not an EDT but the sillage is a relief. Take it as high praise for getting compared to the Penhaligon's.
