I've talked before how certain fragrances have led to me getting powerful headaches. In particular, Imagination, L'Emmensite, and a few others. I've been documenting the notes of everything when I get a headache like that, and then talked with my doctor about it. We did a couple of sensitivity tests, and it turns out I am sensitive to Ambroxan, especially in higher doses. Turns out my body was trying to tell me something when I was expressing a dislike for a lot of Blue fragrances like Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel, Tygar, Ganymede, etc. That "grapefruit" accord that was giving me such a hard time seems to be especially present in these fragrances and is how my brain is interpreting the smell. I figured I would share with y'all in case anyone else is experiencing the same issue. Listen to what your body is telling you. That visceral reaction may be more than just a simple dislike of something.

Got a decent haul this week. Sold a few bottles to free up space for these babies. - Amouage Beach Hut Man - this has been on my radar for a couple months and in its current presentation has been discontinued. Rumors of it be re-released in a new bottle, already making this a collectors bottle. Minty, herbal, with a touch of a resinous note in the base - Naxos - don't need describe this beauty. Snagged it locally from FB Marketplace, brought a a sample to compare smell, even one of my Xerjoff caps to confirm it was legit. - Tiziana Terenzi Kirke - fruit basket banger, got to try it when I was in Italy and both wife and I loved it, she said she would share with me. Snagged the bottle in a sweet bundle deal with the Zaharoff Signature Tabac. Very similar to Xerjoff Erba Gold without the musk. Sold the Xerjoff and kept this one. - Zaharoff Signature Tabac - fantastic photo realistic tobacco and surprisingly kinda fresh take on the profile, can be worn year round. - Moschino Toy Boy and Marwah - grab these 2 in a cheap bundle deal. Wife bugged me long enough to get Toy Boy, I just resisted for so long because of the bottle design, haven't worn that one yet. Marwah was also blind, but heard it was dupe of LV Imagination which everyone races about, $35 for both, shoot why not!?
