Wanted to wear something light and bright this morning, for the UK summer sun. Rayhaan Aquatica fitted the bill perfectly. Sweet fresh lime and coconut brightness that lasted a fine five hours or so. Very good dupe of Creed's Virgin Island Water. Then I spent a chunk of the early evening making an Excel macro that randomises my spreadsheet of fragrances (all included from 1ml decants to full bottles, some 500 entries in total). It takes input of a fragrance group (like Fresh, Leather, Sweet, Woody etc), then outputs a random fragrance in that group. Fun! Of course, my first run of the macro spat out Dior Sauvage. So now I'm wearing Sausage.

Being an Alabama fan, I had to try this when I saw it. From beneath a canopy of lush, damp foliage, the complex aromas of Zoologist Elephant emerge. Into a mixture of invigorating Darjeeling and incense, swirl hints of magnolia, coconut and cocoa. With the patience of a foraging herd stripping the bark from a thicket of trees, the fragrance dissipates gradually. What is revealed is the core of the perfume – a beautiful and satisfying blend of woody notes, which dry down to an elegant, natural sandalwood scent." - a note from the brand.

When near the beach for work, got to smell good.

Gucci Guilty Love Edition Pour Homme 2024 by Gucci is an Oriental Fougere fragrance for men. Top note is Juniper; middle note is Orange Blossom; base note is Ambrofix™. I got it as a throw in same from Dillards and I do love it, no pun intended. It has an almond lean to it and perfect for the warm days ahead. It’s full bottle worthy in my opinion.

Going with this fruity, metallic, and fresh scent on a pleasant sunny day keeps you smelling fresh throughout the day. I hope my fellow brothers and sisters here have a great day.
