ALT Saxophone scent is a dupe of Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club, whose aim is to capture the same lounge-bar vibe of cocktails, leather chairs, and polished wood. The fragrance opens with a smooth, sweet-amber glow, built around rum-like warmth, soft tobacco, and creamy vanilla over a resinous, woody base. You’ll notice a cozy blend of boozy sweetness, gentle spice, and smoky woods that feels plush rather than loud. It also carries a subtle aromatic freshness that keeps the sweetness from tipping into syrupy territory. The result is a comforting, addictive profile that’s ideal for relaxed, cool-weather wear. I'm taking the day off and relaxing around the house. Such a great fragrance when the weather outside is a chilly 52 degrees and raining.

They finally arrived — and I opened the box like a kid on Christmas morning who specifically asked for swagger. After much anticipation, this evening I received both new fragrances from the house of Elyon Dubai (Curly’s Fragrances), and even though I only planned a quick test, I ended up doing a full sniff-session like a sommelier with a grudge against subtlety. BLUF: I am thrilled with the blind buy — these two just earned a seat at the table next to my Tom Ford, Creed, and Xerjoff. Infinity smells like a luxury night drive in a leather interior — smooth woods, a soft touch of sweet fruit, and just enough rose to whisper, “Yes, this costs money.” It’s the fragrance equivalent of pulling up in a blacked-out car with ambient lighting, even if you’re really just going to Walgreens. Himeros (my favorite) is Infinity’s darker, mysterious cousin — the one with a motorcycle, excellent hair, and zero interest in returning phone calls. It’s smoky, leathery, sweet in the most dangerous way, and powerful enough that one spray feels like you’ve just entered a villain’s penthouse. Definitely not my usual “office-safe” choice, but tomorrow night it’s coming with me to the Cowboy Dance Hall. A cowboy with Middle Eastern flair? Boots, leather, oud energy? The fragrance is already doing more line-dancing than I am.

Team, I uploaded my fragrance collection in Fragrantica for an evaluation. One of the shortfalls revealed was a lack of Tobacco fragrances. Therefore, would you be so kind to provide me with your recommendations. Thanks in advance.

I'm curious what people picked up during all the sales. I only bought a few things: 1. Montagne had one of the very few sales they have all year, so I took advantage to pick up Eau Noir, inspired by Le Labo The Noir 29, one of my favorite black tea fragrances. They did such a great job with Another 13 that I figured I'd go with another Le Labo for my third pickup from the house. 2. Hex Mundi had a sale, so I picked up three more 5mL samples from them - Samhain (blood orange and incense), Kiki Jiri (tea and baked bread), and Much of Madness, More of Sin (tobacco, plum, amber, and earl grey tea). They were $7 each, so it was a great pick up. I have 5 others from the house and have become a big fan. 3. City Rhythm St John USVI. I have 86.41, which is a mashup of their Puerto Rico and St Johns fragrances. I already have Puerto Rico, so I figured St John would be the next step. That just leaves the two Miami's and San Diego - both of which I have sampled and have the Prisma versions of. It also makes the 10th fragrance I have from them. 4. I also picked up a gift card from Imaginary Authors. They had a deal where you buy a $115 card for $100. Their fragrances are $115 for the full presentation, so that will let me buy a fragrance down the road when the time comes. They usually do a holiday limited release, so I'm hoping they do another one for this year, and I can use the card on that. I was sorely tempted by Dua Fragrances 38% discount, and Heretic Parfums 30% off discounts, but ultimately passed. I was disappointed by Jomashop and Fragflex, which didn't feel much like sales at all, and didn't really have anything that got me excited. What did y'all find out there?
