It’s in the 80s today in Pensacola Florida so I went with my very first Niche fragrance that I ever bought. Got 2 compliments, and no kidding, I get at least 1 compliment every single time I wear it. It never fails. It’s a smooth, classy fragrance with a bright citrus opening, hints of blackcurrant and spice, and a rich woody dry down of cedar, leather, vanilla, and musk. It feels fresh and juicy 😁 and the dry down is magnificent! It’s perfect for both daytime and evening wear. It lasts forever with strong projection. It gives off a very confident, luxurious vibe and works great as a signature scent. This is a compliment monster guys and I highly recommend owning a bottle, especially at the price you can pick them up at!

Continuing my challenge using up samples from my collection in alphabetical order. I got the sample of this from one of the TPG Mystery boxes. It came as part of a sample kit that included all 6 fragrances from the house. The perfumer, Sean Colbert, is a musician, and he uses his understanding of music to create "layered scents of restraint and depth. Balancing harmony and contrast, each idea moves dynamically through the composition. Notes don't disappear - they evolve, taking on new form and weight from top to base." Notes: Top Notes: Citrus, Coriander, Melon Middle: Ginger, Grapefruit, Marine Notes Base: Fern, Musk, Woods Scent: 7.5 It is definitely a spring / summer scent. I honestly think that it smells a lot like the opening of Terre d'Hermes EDT. It is definitely a spring / summer scent. I honestly think that it smells a lot like the opening of Terre d'Hermes EDT. it has that same mineralic citrus quality with a similar earthiness in the dry down. It even performs in a similar way. It is a bit sweeter and more aquatic, but if you enjoy TDH, you will enjoy Knife Thrower. Performance: 7.0 It's a very quiet and intimate scent. It does get more powerful as the day goes on and the body warms the oils up, but it never really projects much beyond about arm's length. After a few hours, it became pretty much a skin scent on me, and was gone by mid-afternoon. I think that's actually a feature, and not a bug here. I think if it was more of a beast mode fragrance, it would detract from the overall experience that Buchart is going for. Package Design: 7.0 These come in 50, 10, and sample size bottles. The 50's have a really cool design on them, and the artwork is beautiful and interesting. But I don't know that Knife Thrower as a name fits the vibe that this fragrance projects. Based on the name, I'd expect something thrilling and a bit dangerous with an edge. Instead, it comes of like a modernized cover take on an old classic. While fun and enjoyable, it doesn't really break new ground. Especially when compared to the other fragrances in the lineup (Luten Errant is my favorite of the six).
