#sotd... Seasons Drift by Riiffs... This is an Citrusy Amber fragrance. Opens with a touch of citrus before going into a slight spicy ginger feel with a little herbal to it. The dry down brings a smooth woodsiness with a little bit of sweetness. Decent projection in the beginning. I went 7 hours before refreshing. I am giving this a 7 out of 10 for now. Has the potential to be rated higher. Hoping some maceration will help it.

We went to three places, four of you count the High end Duty Free at terminal D at Vancouver international Airport aka YVR. SCENTRIQUE: https://www.scentrique.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorqeL71l6C34eVWnYzKaEdJ5ybFxz9qLqq0AnMu4gOxmKDHzHe2 Great location and customer service. Retail space itself is small so can get crowded really quickly. We got lucky on our second trip that we were the only ones in the store and so we're able to really get our noses on the fragrances without without it distraction until somebody came in and sampled all of the strongest fragrances in the place. Gris Carnal for days. They have a really great and friendly business model where they'll create travel-sized decals for you on the spot, and we're by far the most reasonable in terms of cost. A good selection of pretty accessible niche and some smaller indie fragrances. Was glad to know they stopped both Untamed and Biblioteque de Parfums which I had discovered independently of their Discovery sets. While I can reliably order any of the latter directly from them the former, it might be easier to get their stuff from this place than their online store 10 out of 10. Disclaimer: I haven't established relationship with them as I am a monthly subscriber to their Discovery set which is my way of getting to sample so much Niche stuff where I live. The Perfume Shop:https://www.theperfumeshoppecanada.com/ Another small but mighty little shop run by a wonderful lady who knows her stuff and was quite willing to let me sample what she had and educate me a little bit. The only downside was no travel size or even samples to purchase based on her business model. Real pro of this little spot was that it had a little bit more Middle Eastern and other Niche like Memo Paris, and Ojar were two that I was excited to see. 9/10. Will be back for sure and likely order from her website for stuff I wouldn't easily find at any discounter.

First wear of this tasty little dankboi today, after recently polling the Brothers for some buying guidance. I really like this fragrance. It’s green and vetiver forward, with an amazing swampy base that brings Bog Monster vibes. It’s moreish, and moorish, and woody and windswept and bleak. There’s also an unsettling sweetness which gives it depth and intrigue above and beyond a mere dirty dampness, and I am here for it. I can see this one being used a lot, in times when I want people to smell me and think “dude, seriously?” I’ve seen it described as the fragrance that a vampire would wear. I definitely think it’s more Danhausen than Dracula, which is no bad thing. Donned it at 8am, still going strong in the bracing Spring sunlight at 3.5 hours later. Definitely a recommended fragrancehausen. Thanks to the Brothers for the guidance. I also bought the Le Beau Le Parfum for anyone following along at home.
