Definition: Retired (adj) Meaning: I was tired yesterday, and I am tired again today. Hope this brings laughter to you today stay warm and dry.

I finally sorted all my decants yesterday. A couple of weeks ago I had rearranged my full bottle shelves. Front row is fall/winter. Middle row is year round / transitional seasons. Back row is spring/summer (which I’ll swap with the front when the season changes). So I did the same sorting with my decants in the lipstick case on the right. Sorted from left to right by season. Curious how you guys decide what to display with what? I’m sure another approach for larger collections is to keep all from one house together…

My wife has been busy finding more scents for us. She bought both of us a discovery set from Roja. This is the Men’s set. I’m looking forward to trying this house for the first time. I’d love to hear from all of you to hear your experiences with this house. 🙏

A little retail therapy today since laying my dad to rest yesterday. Heard a lot of hype with these, so I wanted to try out. So glad I did! Can’t wait to give each of these a full wearing. I’m BLOWN AWAY by Asad Elixir and how close it is to Boss Bottled Absolu. BBA is one of my top 5 favorite fragrances of all time, and Asad Elixir is extremely close. Opening is different, but the dry down is 1:1. It’s absolutely incredible what these Middle Eastern brands are doing right now. Such a great time to be in the fragrance game.

Brothers- this has been a difficult week. My dad passed away on Tuesday, and we have his visitation and funeral tomorrow. I will be wearing a fragrance, so not wearing one isn’t an option. My question is, what type of fragrance would you choose? I’ve ever been the sentimental type when it comes to fragrances, so I don’t foresee me attaching his funeral to the fragrance forever, unless it’s something I wear just once. Let me know what you would choose.
