***Note: this is Chat GPT generated.. The Niche Snob: Swears they can’t smell anything under $300. Thinks “mass appealing” is an insult. Wears something that smells like church incense and rubber just to say it’s art. Probably calls Dior Sauvage “pedestrian” while bathing in a scent that smells like a haunted library. The Designer Devotee: Owns every flanker of Bleu de Chanel like they’re Pokémon cards. Their dream blind buy is whatever Jeremy Fragrance screams about next. Says “this gets me compliments” more times than they say “hello.” The Clone Hunter: Buys 37 variations of Aventus clones just to save $20, but ends up spending $600 total. Brags that their clone is “95% close,” yet smells like lemon pledge and regret. The Note Analyst: Doesn’t wear fragrances, they study them. Talks about “the mid transitions” like it’s a doctoral thesis. Can’t go a day without saying “the isobutyl quinoline in the dry down is chef’s kiss.” Bro, it just smells nice. Relax. The Historian: Starts every sentence with “Actually, the original formulation in 1982…” and ends it with “they don’t make them like they used to.” They own more discontinued bottles than friends. The Flex Collector: Buys Xerjoff, Roja, and PDM just to post bottle pics under LED lights. Hasn’t sprayed half of them. The juice inside those bottles has seen less oxygen than a sealed time capsule. Posts their shelves like trophies. The Sample Hoarder: Has 400 vials but never commits to a full bottle. Always says “still testing.” Their dresser looks like a crime lab evidence table The Over-Sprayer: Leaves a scent trail so thick it could guide ships through fog. Thinks “projection beast” is a personality trait. You can smell them before you see them.. and long after they’ve left. The Minimalist: Owns five bottles.. all versatile, all purposeful. Doesn’t understand the chaos of having 100+ decants. The Completionist: Obsessed with completing every line like it defines your life: Newsflash: buying them all doesn't make you cultured.. makes you broke

#sotd.... Today is Fakhar Platin by Lattafa... I've been sitting on this for months. I figured it was time to give it a full wear and review. For me, at first spray, I got a fresh soapiness. Didn't last long before it became more citrusy with some sweetness and a little touch of spice. The Lavender will make itself known during the dry down. As it wears on, the backend will introduce some smooth woodsy notes. This is a great performer overall. Great projection for more than an arm length. I went 9 hours before refreshing. I give this a 8.5 out of 10.
