I’ve really been leaning into the clean boy, Mediterranean, linen oceanic look. I got pacific chill a while back and adore it, but I’m looking for a new summer freshie. So far I’m stuck between French Riviera by Mancera or Torino 21 by Xerjoff. I’d love to finally own a Xerjoff, and really enjoy the dna of this one, but it might be redundant as I already have a fragrance occupying the minty herbal fruity slot (pacific chill), so I’m leaning French Riviera now. I need more high quality marine fragrances as well. What do you brothers think?

Mysore Sandal Soap was my travel bar of soap. I would always get compliment on the scent.

It turns out policy relaxations for cultivation in 2022 significantly eased restrictions. On the right: Kasturi musk. Chandan sandalwood.
