Just got back from 2 week Paris and Italy trip, scored some great regional fragrances and a banger from Zara and a few Duas that were delivered while I was gone. For those that know me, I try to pickup a frag on my international trips, that are regional or specific to that area. I definitely found one from Santa Maria Novella, which has been around since 1221 and a couple from Alessandro Serpico which local in Italy and run a handful of small boutique shops. Creed was an impulse buy and I feel like I got a good price at the Creed store. $320 for 100ml after VAT refund and exchange rate. I originally was only going to get the 50ml, but wife loved it so much she wanted to share, so I popped for the 100ml. Zara Rich Warm Addictive Frosted Woods, I just love this line and couldn't resisting addin this one to my other 2 from the line. Dua, what can I say I love my budget alternatives where I like the OG, but not enough to pop for the OG, Tabac Blonde was a recreation of the vintage formulation of Blonde Tobacco.

This was my first Boadicea Scent. I had bought a sample a year or so ago. After wearing it a couple of times I decided to buy a 10ml decant. After a few more wears, my wife came up to me and said how much she loved this fragrance on me and told me I had better go buy a 100ml fast as she did not ever want me to not have any more! 🙏 This is the best way to decide if a scent is FBW in my opinion. First, I had enjoyed the scent for a whole host of reasons but didn't want to spend the money on a 100ml. But when your wife of over 33+yrs says Please buy the 100ml, this is one of my favorite scents on you. That was all the reason I needed!!
