"The Scent That Started Your Journey" Challenge (Winner gets a gift!)
Every fragrance enthusiast has a "Point of No Return." It’s that first bottle that made you realize scent isn't just about "smelling clean" - it’s about identity, confidence, and how you choose to command a room. It was the moment you stopped grabbing whatever was on the bathroom counter and started building a signature. Today, we’re kicking off a 7-day challenge to find the "Gateway Scent" that started your journey. The Challenge: "The Scent That Started Your Journey" We want to hear about the specific fragrance that opened your eyes. Maybe it was a gift that made you feel like a man for the first time, or a scent you saved up for because you saw it on someone you respected. What was the bottle that turned "getting ready" into a ritual? HOW TO JOIN (Super easy) Drop your story in the comments under this post. Use this quick format: 1. The Scent: What was the fragrance that started it all? 2. The Origin: Who wore it, or how did it find its way into your hands? 3. The Representation: What did that scent represent to you at the time? (Sophistication? Power? A new chapter?) 4. The Journey: Where has your fragrance journey taken you since that first bottle? Optional: Feel free to attach a photo of the fragrance.

Indian Wood Pierre Guillaume Paris: A fragrance
Reading the reviews of this one on fragrantica I think one of the reasons that it can be polarizing is that it's mismarketed. It's definitely unisex and I think it was intended to be unisex leaning feminine, but because of the dry down actually leans heavily masculine with a sort of interesting beachy coconut milk, sweet opening and a base that reminds me of Boss bottled Elixir. Not sure on the strength of this one is. I think I went nose blind almost right away but I definitely got a very pleasing coconut milk and spicy cardamom and mint sort of vibe that was quite nice fresh and summery. I didn't notice the florals as much as my wife did, but in the deep dry down almost thought. Thought I sprayed boss bottled Elixir as that certain dry woodiness that is rich and creamy at the same time. So this might be an interesting dual fragrance. I can imagine wearing it somewhere hot maybe in the afternoon while it's still sunny and sort of beachy feeling and then when it dries down in the evening gets a little darker and more intimate for Torchlight drinks and the like. Thinking about that association reminds me. I'm probably overdue for a vacation somewhere warm Notes: Sandalwood, coconut milk, mint, lemon zest, cardamom, some moss, vetiver, and nutmeg Evolution for me went from lemon zest and mint with coconut and cardamom drying down to a a wood y sort of dry and Smoky base with some creaminess. I guess a very good sandalwood Vetiver and miss. Definitely have to be open to a very abrupt evolution, definitely not a linear fragrance by any stretch. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
