Good day gents! Very much behind on sharing my thoughts of the decants I've killed off, bu twill get through them this month. One of those ginger/citrus fragrances, very much along the lines of L'Immensite, Vibrato, Turathi Blue, Kajal III to name a few... those all I have tried in the past. It's a profile I do enjoy very much, but is more a profile I need to be in the mood for. In the opening, you get the immediate, familiar ginger and citrus blast, but not as sharp as I'd usually expect. This is very welcome. The florals on the mid rear their head consistently, although I don't really get rose. Citrus accompanies the fragrance into the mid as well, where it feels it mellows out even more. The drydown is where I feel this take is so much better than most. It takes a less more warm ambery and a vanillic base instead of the muskier drydowns on most others mentioned. A creamy note of sandalwwod, amber and vanilla is not what I would've expected, but there it is, and gives it a wonderful, warmer twist to the profile. On most other fragrances that share this profile idea, I usually get them just too sharp. Ingenious Ginger has a much more mellow and smooth take on it than most, pretty much troughout it's life. Turns the fragrance from a "Meh" to a love. Performance is decent. 5-6 hours on my skin, with a noteworthy sillage for the first couple of hours. Conclusion: Do I like it? Absolutely. It's a more situational fragrance for me though. Did I enjoy the decants? Contrary to initial expectations, loved it. Full bottle worthy, for me? 100%. This one is joining my small collection soon. Rating: 8.5/10

Since I was 13 I’ve always wanted cologne to become the best smelling dude in the room. So my collection started off with obvious fakes 😭. Kicked things of with “One Bilion” in an all glass bottle with printed on letters. Then a bunch of other ridiculous names lol. Then one Christmas i was lucky enough to get my first ever REAL designer cologne: Versace pour homme. I love this cologne for so many reasons. Except longevity lol. I originally wanted my uncles cologne Mont Blanc explorer edp. I loved it so much, and it brought presence to the room. My main reason for getting into frags on th first place. But then I got my first job, and bought myself Calvin Klein one. Not that great of a purchase ngl 😭. But then got a few samples from Versace Eros najim. And then got one million royal for Christmas last year! So then that became my favourite cologne that I owned. And still is. And recently I ordered some more Cologne and love all 3! Creed aventus, azzaro the most wanted parfum and Bleu de Chanel edp. But yeah that’s basically me! Thanks for reading if you got this far. Means a lot to me. Aight Kearnsy out boys.
