Indulge me if you please... Here's my 1907 journey after 36 hours: I got it at a good price from a reputable online retailer knowing that I really don't want another mango frag but I kept hearing great things about this stuff, and I sampled it before with a vague memory of it. At first I was VERY disappointed because it was simply God of Fire or Ophidian Mango Bliss or Feu or Omotesando Tsuyu or whatever, even though there's no mango note listed. The retailer was willing to take it back and I had it all packed up ready to go back, but I continued to read and smell it on the strip and compared... After 3 hours, I was still pissed with my purchase. After SIX hours on paper, things started to change. I cancelled my return and continued to observe. Now after 36++ HOURS I get it. This is NOT simple stuff. This ain't no mango frag. This is a warm and spicy and cinnamon complex in only the best way possible. And I'm guessing that I'm not catching everything yet. I'll need more time with this one, but it's not for the guy (or girl) that's going to spray it and in 15 minutes, make up their mind. I have a number of bottles from this House, but this one requires some time to get to know. It's quite remarkable - which is why I'm remarking! That's all I got for now. Oh BTW, thanks go out to @Lon Chaneyfield for his help with this one too.👍

Spent a pleasant evening at the cinema with my wife (saw Coyote vs Acme, which was great fun). Popped into Selfridges afterwards, and got my nose on a couple of new scents. Tom Ford’s Tobacco Chocolat is very nice, with a dark chocolate open and a sweet tobacco through-line. But more excitingly, I picked up a sample of the upcoming Creed release Iris Debonair. So that’s my fragrance for tomorrow sorted! I’ll be back tomorrow with thoughts and experience.
