It’s said this is an afternoon swim dupe. Doesn’t smell like it at all to me. I enjoy this purely by itself. It’s been sitting for months and smells even better from when I first got it.

Simple scent for today. Forgot how good this smells. Very earthy and luxurious. Reminds me of a more refined Tom Ford Oud Wood but with better performance and appeal. Good to layer with a sweeter scent.

I’m going to be 1000% honest. Lataffa Teriaq lives up to its name (Teriaq means antidote in Arabic) and is my favorite scent of all time. It performs the best. I don’t go nose blind from it. It outlast everything else. I’ve received the most compliments with it from all types of people, men and women. I have over 50 colognes and have smelled even more. It’s the most unique scent profile. This could easily be a flagship fragrance of a niche house. It’s Quentin Bisch best work easily IMO. I don’t believe it’s mass appealing but that’s not truly a metric of quality. I’d say this is fitting for people who have an eccentric nose & doesn’t like to blend in but still wants to be approachable.

YSL For Me! 🩶 YSL is easily the best designer fragrance house imo. Haven’t found myself not liking anything from there so far.

Brought back a head cold from my travels last week and doing my best to get back at it. Going with Azzaro EDP today as I’m needing something good but easy and I’ve been a fan of this since I tried it long ago.
