It may only be for a couple of days, but we have a legit fall day today. We've got a home game today and I don't have to wear shorts for a change. Plus, I get to grab one of my absolute favorites for the first time in a while. Austin hit me right between the eyes the first time I tried it and I never looked back. It is a fall Saturday in a bottle. Couldn't be happier to be pulling this one out today. Last time I wore it (which was at the tail end of winter), I got a hug and heard her mumble into my neck "God, you smell *good*."

It’s been awhile since I’ve picked up something new, and I’ve been wanting to experiment with different DNAs. Heard a lot about how great Amouage Decision is, but I haven't ever been a fan of the house. Some of their stuff is a bit too funky for me. Decision is supposed to be a good introduction to the house for people like me. I’ve been looking for samples for so long, but everywhere has been sold out. Enter Rayhaan Vantage… Saw a few reviews and posts in other forums about it, and people who like Decision have spoken highly about this one. I’ve heard it’s not a 1:1 but stands very well on its own as a fragrance anyway. Luckily, I was able to find this at my local discounter who just got one in. So far, I’m really enjoying it. The opening has a nice pop of orange along with a spicy sweetness. As it settles down, it gets sweeter and sweeter. The drydown is a nice, spicy vanilla sweetness with a middle eastern edge. Definitely has some projection the first 3 hours or so but after that, settles close to the skin for a pleasant incense sweetness. That sweetness lingers on skin for about 10 hours. My wife said it was ok, but she prefers the super mass appealing stuff. Wore this yesterday afternoon out and about and got two unsolicited compliments from strangers. Wearing it this morning again and have already received one. I’m sure it’s no where near Amouage quality, but it definitely makes me want to try the real deal. This one might be a big winner!

Had to go into several offices in Northern Arizona, and with the weather sitting around 60-64 degrees, I wanted something inoffensive with some heft. Something appropriate for close quarters, but with enough body for the cooler weather. I already own the EDT and EDP, so Polo 67 is familiar territory. Extreme takes that fruity direction into a richer space, with pineapple, cedarwood and a leather accord giving it a little more weight. Still approachable, just with a warmer foundation. For this kind of outing, performance needs to be balanced. I want staying power and a noticeable presence, but I don’t need my fragrance introducing itself to the entire office before I do. The goal is enough projection to be enjoyed nearby, with some substance as it settles. That was the thinking behind tonight’s choice: easy to wear, office appropriate with a sensible application, and enough heft for a cool Northern Arizona evening. Sometimes an approachable designer fragrance is exactly what the occasion calls for. - Longevity: roughly 6-9 hours on skin, about 2 hours more when added to clothing. - Projection: noticeable for about 1-3 hours, then closer to the skin. - Sillage: moderate it left a noticeable scent trail rather than a room-filling cloud. Just what I needed to get me through late afternoon 2 meetings through this evening.

I almost cant believe im wearing this again so soon, but I have a date today and I Will is a proven lady killer. I have many great fall date night frags to choose from, but this one gets me the best results. I Will wear whatever works best.
