šŸŒ‘ BOS Weekly Challenge #1 – First Impressions: Dark & Mysterious Edition
October is all about depth - scents that pull people in, not push them away. Fragrances that speak quietly but leave a mark long after you’ve walked off. This week’s challenge: šŸ‘‰ What’s the one ā€œdark and mysteriousā€ fragrance you’d wear to make a powerful first impression? Think: - That one bottle you reach for when you want to feel confident, grounded, and unforgettable. - The scent that says more about you than words could. šŸ“ø Share a photo or a short story about when you wore it - how it made you feel, and what reaction you got. Let’s see which fragrances in the group truly own the room this October.

On a plane again… rocking Eau d’Ombre Leather
I left the windows open last night and when I woke up this morning my apartment was cooold. I was chilled to the bone. But I knew what I needed to do… before heading to the airport for another business trip, I threw on some TF Eau d’Ombre Leather. I’ve been waiting for cool weather so I could wear this one again. I just love it - it’s an inviting, gentle powdery vanilla with lots of warmth from cardomom and very approachable leather, floating on an ambroxan cloud. This is literally the only leather fragrance I’ve ever found that I like - the leather is definitely here but it’s a soft smooth luxury leather, not rough and raw. This one is highly under-rated IMHO, and is totally unlike the others in the OmbrĆ© Leather line. On my skin it projects softly but firmly for hours. Now everyone on the plane can enjoy it too!

Steppin' Out with Carolina Herrera Mystery Tobacco
NOTE: Instead of a Scent Of The Day, I am introducing a fragrance I wore for going out on a date, attending a party, or simply enjoying the evening. As much as I love Chris Collins' boozy fragrances and Boadicea The Victorious' opulent scents, they lack a fragrance featuring one of my favorite notes -- tobacco. For my birthday, I decided to branch out from my CC/BTV collection and add a new fragrance from another house. So after conducting some research (including using ChatGPT and Android's Gemini) to find a fragrance that would enhance my existing collection and wearing some 2ml decant sample, I chose Carolina Herrera Mystery Tobacco. Released in 2016, Mystery Tobacco is part of the Confidential Collection private line that is largely sold in Europe. Mystery Tobacco has a ginger, fruity opening that dries into a spiced pipe tobacco lifted by some drier tobacco leaf vibes. What really stands out is the pipe tobacco note that smells like it came out of a cigar -- exactly the feel I want in a tobacco-forward fragrance, so Mystery Tobacco delivered. The combination of tobacco, ginger, vetiver, tonka bean and osmanthus creates this woody, spicy and boozy scent. It's refined, a bit restrained (at least compared to Mancera's Red Tobacco) and very smooth. I think the patchouli note also lends to the appeal to me. The bottle arrived just in time for my birthday, so I can't wait to wear this one on my birthday and add it to my winter fragrance rotation. And yes, I will get a backup bottle (something I thought I would never say about any cologne, but the Confidential collection is essentially a niche line). It also looks like Carolina Herrera has discontinued it, based on the CH website listings. NOTE: The notes breakdown chart is courtesy of Fragrantica.
