Happy Halloween! For this evening, I wanted to wear something that fit the occasion…Unfortunately, I don’t own one of those scents that has a blood accord or something insane like that. I’ll have to settle for the next best thing: Smelling like Halloween candy. (Ok, fine, I love gourmands so much that I basically do this 5/7 days a week anyways…but I don’t just wanna smell like sweets! I wanna smell like sexy, sophisticated sweets…) Scandal is one of my favorite lines of colognes, I’ve posted about this before. It’s not something overly complex, it’s just fun. You’re getting both a Trick, and a Treat. The trick comes in the opening: it makes you think this is some green, aromatic citrus fragrance. Sage, Orange, a hint of geranium, which is uplifting and energetic…but if that’s all this was, it would not be my favorite. This one turns on you, giving way for its treat. The smooooth caramel that shows its face about 30-45 minutes after you apply this. That’s the star of the show. It’s nearly edible. It has a woody finish to it that blends seamlessly into the caramel. (The notes say vetiver, but I’m not getting nearly that much “green” later on. Smells more like sandalwood). This one plays on my skin so damn well; it compliments how I naturally smell once it dries down. Projection and performance seem to be good as well. The green and aromatic qualities have only gotten more intense as this has sat on my shelf; constantly changing, yet still retaining the heart of it that keeps bringing me back. What are you guys wearing this Halloween? Let me know! Have a great smelling evening gentlemen 🙏
