So I've actually been wearing this for the last 2 days and am really enjoying it! Fig, black pepper and patchouli are what's listed. Unlisted notes that I'm getting are lemon, musk, sandalwood, aquatic and floral notes. The three listed are by far the most dominant, but the blend is very nice indeed. It barely resembles the light blue DNA IMO. It's fresh, sweet, salty and still somewhat dense for a warm weather fragrance. Longevity for me is moderate. About 2 hours of decent projection with a beautiful patchouli skin scent dry down. Maybe 6-7 hours total depending on how much I sweat. So far from my experience, this is the most unique of the light blue flankers and almost immediately my favorite. I'm definitely partial to fig though. Gris Charnel and Parisian Music are my other fig favorites. I'd love some recommendations on other outstanding fig fragrances if you have any to offer...

Ordered another 10ml decant of Creed Bois du Portugal. Such a beautiful fougere that really brings a gentlemanly quality to the day. Average performance but a warmer day could help.

Good investments aren’t just about the skills you learn or the time you spend on something. They’re also about the experiences you share with people, because those moments add real value to your life. Yes, we can grow and learn on our own. But life isn’t just about reaching your goals it’s also about the people you meet along the way and how they help you grow. Like I’ve said before, the right people can multiply your value. What amazes me is this: even though we don’t know each other in person and mostly communicate through messages, the connection still feels strong. It can handle distance and even silence. Why? Because it’s real, steady, and built on trust. So I want to ask you:How open are you to connecting with people?How much are you willing to let others truly see who you are?What do you think stops us from connecting more deeply with each other?
