Anyone who follows any of my posts would know that I'm a big fan of the 'Aventus DNA' - or Fruity Chypres. So I bought a bottle of this almost as soon as it came out and have let it macerate after an initial spraying. It's a wonderful scent smokier than Afnan Supremacy and just as powerful. I could still smell it the next morning ( today). I've never had the privilege of getting my nose on absolute aventus although I plan to do that in the next few months, so I can't say how authentic it is, but I can say it is definitely a different or intense and darker take on Aventus. The notes on fragrantica list pair and a couple of other notes that I don't get, and miss the black currant which I definitely do. But citrus smoke, oak Moss and a hit of spice and everything nice!

Good afternoon every one. Hope those of us who were snowed in are dug out by now. Like the origins and this iteration. This leans a bit more masculine than the original. Top Notes: Pear, Black Pepper, Cocoa, Ginger and Mandarin Orange - Middle Notes: Morrocan Jasmine Absolute, Orange Blossom, Peach and Quince - Base Notes: Indonesian Patchouli, Cashmeran, Benzoin, Vanilla and Ambroxan - Have a great evening.

These beauties arrived today! Between Jomashop and Rescented, I bought $1,575 worth of fragrances for $798. Time for a buying pause, but I am very happy with these. If you haven't checked out Rescented lately, the app has seen a surge of users and the customer service is top tier. Carl is the owner and personally checks in to see if you received your order, how everything is, etc. Highly recommend checking it out.

Acqua di Parma / Colonia — just a fresh/classic grab-and-go today

I have this one on my collection for a long tome now and never wear it before. This is a clone of Amouage Jubilation XXV Man. I decided to wear this one today following with the previous poll votes (https://www.skool.com/bos/reaching-out-for-hidden-gems-on-my-shelves?p=d371a24d). Overall, this is a very masculine, spicy, and woody scent from the opening. As it dries down smoothens toning down the spiciness to the background and turns to a more resinous and slightly sweeter, earthy, and woody scent. Projection and longevity are average.
