I just rearranged my bottles this weekend trying to go cold weather frags on the left, year rounds in the middle and warm weather on the right. After I did this and looked it over I realized my collection breaks down like this: Cooler weather - 40%, Year round - 40%, Warmer - 20%. My decants kind of break down the same way. This got me thinking that most summer frags never really grabbed me - they either bore me with their generic "fresh and/or citrusy" notes (like Eros Energy, AdG), or their performance on me is abysmal (Light Blue, Man Eau Fraiche) . I usually wear my year-rounders in the warm weather. Realized I'm looking for something different for summer. The ones I do have full bottles of are Vulcan Feu, L'eau D'Issey, AP Marwa, Prada L'Homme to name a few. So basically this post is looking for recommendations for summer/high heat frags that are a little "left of center" that last.

A perfect balance of fruitiness and citrusy freshness at the top which gives a refreshing mood and at middle a well blended and refined sage and juniper gives an aromatic feelings and at base not sharp vetiver and sweet patchouli lives around for hours. A great longevity on skin like 6 hours and projection is 1 hour good.

No long post today brotherhood on the go go go. Breaking out this baaaad beauty today for a wonderful day ahead. This is a statement maker by the house of Mancera. Black Prestigium is one fragrance that helped me appreciate the rose note. This a a woody rose forward powdery blend with some patchouli making this a dark yet lifted fragrance that performs all day long. Definitely not for the faint of heart as it’s potent and slightly anamalic but it’s such a refined fragrance and one of my top Manceras. I feel this one is outside the Mancera norm and it’s an absolute banger in my book. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Quick Question, looking for other daily type fragrances that I enjoy to expand my collection I am running out to the store, so as you know, I have LV Imagination. I really dont need any of the darl LV as I have Ombre Nomad and La Sables Roses and the clones of these. I have Jean Lowe l'immensite the clone. Do you think it is worth the added bottle of the LV l'immensite? Can Imagination coexist together ot are they redundant ?

Mildly Boozy (whiskey), spicy, sweet, mildly dry incency opening There is a chocolatey nuance that creeps in after a few minutes Mature, masculine, confident type of scent Warm-Boozy-Ambery blend Not overpowering, not overwhelming, or overcloying.. sweet but not too sugary.. Good projection and sillage May be worn in the office and best for evening and nights out Best for Fall and Winter Powdery, velvety, creamy vanillic, caramely, ambery, woody dry down Bottle maintains the iconic revolver cylinder shape, gold top and dark-bronze bottom; small cap that clicks in place; decent atomizer Great longevity Prominent for 2-3 hours and stays as a close skin scent for 3-4 more hours (behaves the way a parfum does) Great overall performance I would recommend Forever Wanted Absolu ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sultry-Enigmatic-Seductive.. The Forever Wanted Elixir still scores higher that this one for me.. You do not have to rush out to Dillard's to pick it up at a full retail price.. just wait for it to become available at discounters.. "Must Have" for collectors and for those completing the Wanted line..
