After a reset day, I felt it was time to get back in style. And what better way to do that than with BB Absolu? This time, I went straight for the bottle. I’d say it’s about 89% ready for use. I’ll let it sit for another two weeks and it should be fully there.

Today I’m rocking Galatea, and for the price, the quality here is just insane. If you aren't familiar, this is Maison Alhambra’s take on Parfums de Marly Godolphin. It’s a bold, sophisticated blend of leather, saffron, and lush fruits. What I love about this DNA is that it takes that "tough" leather backbone and smooths it out with a beautiful hit of sweetness and aromatics like thyme and cypress. It’s got that "Niche" feel without the $400 price tag. Definitely a scent that commands attention and smells like pure luxury! Why I’m wearing it today: It’s the perfect balance of rugged and refined. It easily keeps up with a full work day and has that deep, amber-vanilla dry down that stays classy. Seeing this gold bottle on the shelf always reminds me why I love this hobby—you don't have to break the bank to smell elite. Have you tried Galatea or the original Godolphin? Do you prefer this fruity leather style, or are you more of an Ombre Leather fan?
