Good day everyone! Finally got around adding these staple, mass-pleasing niche (and one designer) fragrances. Had postponed these due to the price, which is infalted even more when taking into account import fees and duties to Guatemala. Those made these just way too expensive. Thanks to a cousin travelling from the US to GT, who happily offered to bring me some stuff, got these then at US prices with no additional cost, which is an absolute bargain for Guatemala prices! Still have two last 2026 bottles on the way. That will close out 2026, no more purchases allowed. - Sospiro Vibrato 100ml Tester. Have tried the most popular fragrances following this DNA. Tygar/Vibrato/Ingenious Ginger etc. Love Ingenious Ginger as a warmer more mellow take on it, and Vibrato the best sparkly, bright one. - PDM Sedley 120ml. It took a while, because the most popular inspirations didn't really sell me on the idea. Figured I just didn't like Sedley then. Eventually ended up getting a decant, and oh my. No inspirations I tried came close to do this justice. This is must have freshie for me! - PDM Percival 75ml: The higher end Fierce take. Awesome scent, with awesome quality and performance. Got a 75ml only as even though I really like it, I don't need a bigger bottle of this DNA. - Tom Ford Eau d'Ombre Leather 100ml: Not a fan of leather scents. But this one take the in-your-face leather into a much more mellow, spicy and warm take. Absolutely loved it, and is the only leather fragrance so far that I know I will love wearing. Now the hard part. These 4 plus the 2 on their way places me above my bottle limit, while I have curated my small colelction into a group of fragrances I love. All of them. Will have to sacrifice something... will take some time to make the decission.

With the temperature dropping, some of my favourites are back in rotation. Most are staples but perseus is new and victory edp is a retry. After a PDM heavy 10 days, I think its safe to say the althair DNA got boring to me and now Oajan sits comfortably on the PDM throne. My only gripe is that my 5 ml is almost done and the newer batches are supposedly watered down. Cant imagine a lighter version of DNA that would suck like it did for me with 1M lucky. Perseus was actually very nice. To my nose its just a twist on TDH Eau Givree that makes it more wearable and versatile. But I associate this DNA with work/professional setting so the versatility is not really important. Easy to recommend and gift citrus lovers. Nothing groundbreaking but a very good refinement of Eau Givree. Couldn’t fault anything except the price. 8.8/10. Im also starting to enjoy simpler fragrances now. Victory edp is objectively inferior to elixir but on the days you want something simple and cozy it delivers. Kinda reminds me of Code EDP. Might get a larger decant after i give code another try. Hero edp is now tied with edt as my fav from the line. The resinous nature grows on you. @Jonathan Ventura was right about it. Never thought about layering them but might do soon. Drop some layering suggestions for me to try in the next couple of days.
