It has been a while, so I thought I should put in a SOTD. I have been reaching for it quiet a lot in the hot weather Mancera French Riviera: sunshine in a bottle. Think azure coastlines, salt-kissed skin, and the kind of yacht you “definitely don’t own but 100% belong on.” Bright citrus, sun-warmed woods, and that opulent, breezy elegance that makes a humble Canberra afternoon feel like a long weekend in the south of France.

Today I'm wearing SMOKY CITRUS from the House of AMOUROUD. An EDP. Launched in 2022.A leather Citrus olfative family fragrance. It opens with energetic bergamot and petit grain notes, in the middle a Fresh eucalyptus, lavander and mineral notes and finished with leather, Patchouli and Woody notes.

Projection 4-5hrs Sillage 1mt Stay on skin 7-9hrs.

Taking the Guerlain Spirituese Double Vanilla out for test today. It's cold here, so I thought I would try my first Vanilla scent. This seems to be a compliment getter so far as I have received 2 both unsolicited 😎 The vanilla is definitely here but mixed with amber and wood, I even get some leather in this. Its seems like a great one so far. Definitely Office worthy as in the words of my bookkeeper "You don't smell like you took a whore shower"!! 🤣

After an amazing weekend in the city with my wife shopping. We went to buy some fragrances (Shocker) 😜. While we may or may not have gone a little overboard which we are prone to do we had an amazing time! All of this to be said, we have been making relationships with some sales people and when we were discussing our collection and what we were about to add. The manager came out and presented us with this Armani/Prive Lacquered display box!! They said these are very hard to get and that they have only had 1 or 2 come in, but they knew we were the right people to have it. They gave it to us for free! Not something I had expected or even knew existed. This is one of those things that keeps me buying from an actual store with an actual person. Even though I may be able to get a "deal" somewhere else. I prefer the relationships. Now I Just have to put my bottles in. I have 2 open spaces to fill. But probably not for long!! 🤣
