First round of fragrance samples I did not like the results so sent them back to be reworked , custom bottle mold created and sample bottles are should be here in 2 weeks !! A lot of moving parts but I know it will be a success. I am excited to share the product with you all soon .

What to say in your intro? Share where you're from, your reason for joining, perhaps your favorite fragrance, watch or a picture of you dressed sharp! It's a small action, but a HUGE step in you getting value from this community becasue you go from being a lurker to an ACTIVE member. In fact men that introduce themselves are 10X more likely to the actions to becoming their best selves. Bonus Point - By introducing yourself you're guaranteed to level-up. Seriously, you'll get at least 5-20 likes/points (oftentimes more) which will move you to level 2 and possibly level 3. And just like that you have access to more of this community!

This sounds very crazy but I have hired a Master Perfumer & this is going to be an exciting journey !!

So I wanted to call something out. Fragrance samples have either disappeared or gotten stupidly expensive. I have seen 2 ml samples selling for more than $10, which is absurd for most fragrances. When the Nordstrom Anniversary sale happened (and yes, I went for my free gift cards) I saw something was back that was awesome and helped fight this shift. Nordstrom now has free empty sample containers for fragrances and creams. They are in the women's fragrance section normally (or you can ask for one in the men's). You can fill them yourself or ask an associate to do it. I grabbed Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot, Bvlgari Man Rain Essence, and some Rénergie Lift cream. I am already a Nordstrom fan, so finding this made me very happy. It lets you wear something a few times before committing to a bottle, which is how sampling should work. However, it means less buying at Jomashop and Macys, as if I sample it at Nordstrom... I need to ethically pick it up there. If I like and buy it. Now they just need to start carrying The Harmonist.

#sotd... Cool Water Grapefruit and Sage by Davidoff... This Cool Water flanker is a fresh, aromatic green fragrance. Just like the Intense flanker, it shifts away from the Original Cool Water DNA and replaces it with a crisp blend of citrus and herbal accords. While only listing two main notes, this clearly has more going on. In the opening you will be greeted briefly with a sweet and fizzy scent. As it fades and moves quickly into the mid, that is where the Sage kicks in providing a soft and mild peppery aspect. As following the Intense, there is a powderiness throughout the wear. As for a fresh EDT fragrance, I get solid overall performance from it. Good initial projection with 6 hours of longevity on skin. I rate this head to head with the Intense flanker giving it an 9.5 out of 10 rating.
