One of the lesser known from the house but impressive nonetheless. This woody aromatic features tonka bean and vetiver and patchouli and is quite masculine. Like all ATH, great longevity.

A recent addition to my collection, One Million Night Elixir is the latest addition to the iconic One Million line. Whilst the actual perfumer details would be a bit obscure right now it would seem to be a combined effort between the og creator Christophe Raynaud & Master perfumerQuentin Bisch. This one sits firmly in the woody-spicy-amber category, designed explicitly as a darker, richer, and more intense evolution compared to the original or even the previous Privé and Elixir versions. It’s not trying to be fresh, light, or subtle; this is a full‑on night scent. It's thick, warm, sweet & heavy. It’s clearly built to compete with heavy hitters like Spicebomb Extreme, Tobacco Vanille, or JPG Le Beau Le Parfum, and right out of the bottle, you can tell it’s meant to be the loudest, most luxurious version of One Million yet. Right at the start, this opens bright, zesty & aromatic. You get that juicy, sweet‑sharp citrus kick from mandarin, balanced by the drier, more tart, peely edge of bitter orange. Then the cardamom cuts through it: warm, spicy, aromatic and a tiny bit resinous. It’s a lively, vibrant opening, fresh enough to catch your attention, but with enough spice to tell you it’s going to warm up fast. No weak, watery citrus here; it’s punchy & well‑defined. Once the top fades after 10–15 minutes, the scent really shifts into its character. Amber takes centre stage: rich, warm, golden, resinous & soft, giving it that smooth, luxurious, sweet base layer. Then patchouli comes in, not the heavy, earthy, dirty kind, but a cleaner, deeper, woody/earthy version that adds depth, weight and a touch of dark, spicy complexity. The rum accord is the star here, it smells like dark, aged rum: boozy, sweet, slightly caramelised, warm & ntoxicating. It’s rich, smooth & has that distinct boozy sweetness without smelling like alcohol. As it dries down and settles on skin, this is what stays with you for hours. First up, that maple syrup accord, it’s thick, rich, warm, golden sweetness. Then cinnamon hits: warm, spicy, slightly woody, giving it that classic winter‑spice kick. And the surprise here is the lavandin: it’s not fresh or soapy like usual lavender; it’s deeper, herbaceous, slightly camphorous and woody, and it cuts right through all that heavy sweetness and spice to ground it. The end result is a warm, sweet‑spicy, boozy‑syrupy dry‑down that’s rich, with just enough herbal depth to keep it interesting.

Good day Gents! So, broke my personal record of decants at a time... somehow my mind was telling me I NEEDED to try all of these out NOW. You know how it goes... Perfuum order: Acqua di Parma Buongiorno 2ml * Nishane Hacivat 2ml * Nishane Hacivat X 1ml * Rasasi Hawas Kobra 2ml Rasasi Hawas Tropical 2ml Xerjoff Renaissance 2ml * Bentley Silverlake 2ml Guy Laroche Drakkar Intense 2ml (This and the OG... I have never tried... I'm looking to go back and test those legendary fragrances I never have tried.) Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir 2ml John Varvatos Artisan Blu 2ml John Varvatos XX Artisan Teal 2ml Prada Amber Pour Homme 2ml Ralph Lauren Polo Deep Blue 5ml (I already knew this one, and really liked it. Figured I could use a 5ml from time to time... and then I saw a 40ml bottle for $29.... so... now I'll end up with 45ml of this one!) Goldfield & Banks Pacific Rock Flower 2ml * Mercedes Benz Club Extreme 2ml Parfums de Marly Galloway 2ml * Room 1015 Wavechild 2ml Parfums de Marly Kalan 2ml They were also very kind and added three free samples! Day Three Tacita de Cafe (think I now have 6ml in total of this one in samples) Fragrance du Bois Amber Intense Comporta 50 DecantX: Dior Homme Parfum OG, finally. 10ml * (came at about $30 after the 25% sale they had off. 10ml of this will last me for quite some time!) Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man Parfum LIMITED EDITION 2ml Xerjoff Shooting Stars Kobe 2ml * Scentsplit: Thomas Kosmala Nº4 Sport 2ml * Thameen Carved Oud 2ml * Banana Republic Linen Vetiver 2ml House of Dastan Light Breeze 2ml *: The ones I'm looking forward the most! So... a lot to go through. However, I'm going to pause testing on all of these for some time. So yeah, didn't make much sense for me to order them right now... but SALES! I have many samples brothers here have so generously gifted me in the last couple of months, that I have simply not had chance to go over properly. I'll go through them first. I'm looking to restart reviewing and giving my thoughts this week... it's just been such a busy year.

It's been a while since I posted. I have not been very active for a while, but I try to ensure that I stay alive in the community. Below are my additions over the past two weeks.
