Our Brother @Erick Tai is 1K away from achieving the top level.. let's push it guyz..

I'm starting off my Saturday with this beautiful Christmas gift from my wife, and here are my notes: Opens with a touch of sweet citrus, cardemom & saffron. There is a slight chemical smell from the floral absolutes (that apparently I'm sensitive to in different fragrances) that fades in minutes. It quickly becomes, warm spicy, blend of florals, with some amber in the background. Floral notes also provide some sweetness. Ylang and jasmine can be sickly sweet, but they are so smoothly blended here. No woods are listed, but I'm guessing the labdanum, tonka and tolu balsam work to give the florals a soft, woody counterbalance. At 45 min it is medium tone, with moderate sillage & proj. Some Xerjoffs are shape-shifters, and morph from one kind of fragrance the next, but Black Moonlight is relatively linear, in the best way. As it dries down, the notes soften and meld together, maintaining its medium-toned, semi-sweet, smooth, warm, spicy, floral, woody construction from beginning to end. At 90 mins, the fragrance is mild with steady, mild sillage, and will remain this way for hours. At 3 hours, the vapors are steady, stable and mild. I see this as an elegant, elegant/casual, social, date night, special occasion type of fragrance. Sorry guys, NOT a gym scent! 😉😄🏋️‍♀️I would definitely recommend getting a sample, and enjoy! Have a great day and keep smelling fantastic! Update: At 7hrs the last whiffs of light sillage are fading as it becomes an intimate scent. I'll take 6-7 hours of sillage any day! And that's with 2 arm sprays and 2 chest spray. If you like to spray your clothes, it'll never fade lol..

Went with African Leather first, then topped it with Oud for Greatness Neo before heading out to shovel snow. African Leather opens warm and spicy with cardamom, saffron, cumin, and leather, giving that dry, aromatic heat that cuts through the cold. Adding Oud For Greatness Neo brings in a cleaner, greener oud vibe with lavender, fir balsam, bergamot, and refined oud, smoothing everything out and adding lift. Together, it’s warm spice + leather anchored by a fresh, modern oud. Rugged but polished. Perfect for brutal winter weather without feeling heavy or suffocating. Vibe: bold, cold-weather armor to keep you motivated. Use case: snowstorm, outdoor chores, winter days Projection: noticeable but controlled Longevity: eternal, especially on clothes.
