I wanter to like this so much, on paper it sounds good. A few youtube reviewers gave it a good review so I figured why not sample it. Let me set a scene. You are visiting your old grandpa, you walk into his house and smell delicious coffee and chocolate pastries, and he has a fire going. It smells warm and delicious. After awhile you are done with the coffee and pastries, the fire has died down and you begin to notice other scents. You realize that your old grandpa lives alone and doesn’t really know how to clean thoroughly, it’s getting musty and sour. Looking around you notice mushrooms growing in a dark corner. At this point you tell your grandpa its been a great visit, but you have another appt to get to and you hastily leave. So yeah it started out a bit of nice but not really for me the dried down on my skin pretty bad. Again I really wanted to like it, but alas my skin and nose had other plans apparently. Oh well glad I got to experience it and happy it was a sample. I might give this one more try later, but for now it’s a pass. Stay smelling good my brothers.

Alexandria Fragrances / Hafez1984 — decided to go with a favorite Alexandria original today, Hafez 1984. Kinda of what you’d get if you would layer Red Tobacoo and Carlisle together; “cavendish tobacco and creamy vanilla, Hafez 1984 is infused with hints of rich leather, heady rum, fragrant patchouli, and exotic spices. The opening is further adorned with the suggestion of tempting dark fruity notes to make your mouth water and senses tingle with delight.” … from the brand description
