I hope at this point the brothers are aware of the blue beast. The frag that really blew up Amouage in the west in 2012. This is now my second bottle of it. And absolutely a staple in my wardrobe for 3 1/2 seasons. Warm and smokey. Resinous, incense, woods and leather. Yes it has a Catholic church vibe to it and I love that. For myself I could not imagine not having this one. I will admit though the new formulation of this from my OG from 2012 isn’t quite as powerful as it was sadly. I went from needing two sprays for all day and into the night to 4 sprays for 7-8 hours. I do find that irritating. I find the parfumo rating of 7.8/10 obscenely low though. The old formula was a solid 9.5/10 for me. This version I give 8.7/10 due to the decrease in performance and increase in price point. Definitely a frag I personally feel anyone new to frags should try. It opens doors to your mind of what frags should be if all you have smelled is YSL or Dior etc. what say you brothers?

After Spicebomb, this was an early favourite of mine, so far it's still the best release in the entire Wanted line. It was created by Michel Girard, Nadège Le Garlantezec, Shyamala Maisondieu and Roxanne Kirkpatrick and released in 2022. While the earlier Eau de Parfum (EDP) Intense focused on a playful "toffee" sweetness, the Parfum shifts toward a darker, spicier, and more refined woodiness. The scent is officially built on a minimalist three-note structure, though it feels far more complex in practice: It opens with Red Ginger, which gives a sharp, fiery, and slightly citrusy opening. It’s less fizzy than typical ginger and more warm-spicy. At its heart, you will findI ncandescent Woods. As the ginger fades, a dense, smoky woodiness takes over. It gives the fragrance a glowing charcoal vibe. But the star of the show is found at the base. One the best drydowns I've come across for this style of fragrance. Bourbon Vanilla, a high-quality, balsamic vanilla/creamy and sweet, but not "cupcake" sweet. It’s more reminiscent of an expensive aged spirit. The Parfum concentration lives up to its name, trading loud "room-filling" projection for steady, long-lasting presence. Performance on this is huge, a whopping 8 hours on the skin, On clothes, it can easily last until the next laundry day, with strong projection that can easily fill a room, and the sillage ensures a good scent trail is left behind. Yes definitly my favourite of the Wanted line to date. And an all time Winter legend. My Rating 9/10 Scent 3 Longevity 2.5 Sillage 2.5 Y/N 1

I got this new one in yesterday and took it for a spin. This one reminds me of Y Eau Fraiche or EDT. This one has that classic Y DNA with a Minty opening with sage and Patchouli. This one is work safe / spring / summer/ daytime / casual. This one lasted all day about 8 hours with good projection of about 2ft of my skin. Presentation is the Y Bottle but nice a clear one with blue juice and a very good atomizer. This one may be redundant for some. Smell to make your own determination. I plan on spraying them side by side with the other ones that I have. I like this one for an office / spring summer time use. 8/10

I've been wanting to put this bottle into my daytime wears. I've won it a few times around the house in the evenings and it has been really nice and "Wife Friendly" 😎 Today I thought I'd take it to work and see how it goes. I get a lot more tobacco, leather and warm spice before sweet and fruity. It has been wearing well in this really cold weather. We'll see how the cold affects the longevity. Have a great Wednesday my friends!!

I just want to say thank you to all of you who reached out after my dad‘s passing. Needless to say, it’s been a difficult few weeks, so all of the positive interactions have been a godsend. With that being said, we’re getting back to the daily grind. Today, I am wearing this Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street dupe. While I like the scent profile, I don’t like it enough to pay the niche price tag the OG commands. However, I will say, it is a compliment magnet! Everybody around me seems to really enjoy it.
