Here is the the newest hype beast from the Maldives (IYKYK) lol. This one smells very close to Dior Homme Cologne or Jimmy Choo Ice. I have always been a fan of this DNA, but the performance has always been the issue only getting 3 hours. Rayhaan Azul fixes the performance problem. 7-8 hours is what I got with solid projection 1-2ft the first 2 hours. Perfect for the hot weather. Reminds me of frozen lemonade. It is very citrus forward. Work safe / spring Summer/ casual or daytime. Presentation looks great, ocean blue with a white cage on it with a nice pressurized atomizer and a white cap that fits snugly into place. If you like this citrus bomb DNA this is a worthy of the price tag. Beauty House had it for 34 dollars. I’m excited to add this one to my Rayhaan lineup and going to put this one into the rotation for the summer.

I thought Id try the weekly SOTD log post since I havent been completing daily SOTD posts, so here we go. Thanks to @P. Andrew Sandlin and @Nick Clemente for three of the wears this week! Penhaligon's Halfeti - A high quality oriental aromatic. Green, creamy nutmeg, leather/oud, and spicy amber. Very well blended and high quality. Performance is strong. I wore this to work, spraying 5 total sprays and when one of my folks walked in they asked what new cologne I was wearing as they could smell it all the way down the hall coming up to the office. Not wife approved sadly. Not FB worthy, but I may get a 10mL to have at my disposal. PDM Sedley - Good quality, but I don't get the spearmint or sprite profile I've heard talked about time and time again. A versatile and fresh scent. Its aromatic with a slight herbal/floral aspect. Performance is good lasting 6-7 hours. Zaharoff Signature Pour Homme - A classy, balanced and mature gentlemanly scent. Its clean lavender, spicy myrrh, and woody sandalwood. You could wear this year round, but maybe not in the highest heat of the summer. Performance was acceptable. It lasted 7 hours, projecting nicely for the first hour or so. This one didn't grab me, but you could do much worse. It was neither wife approved or nor disapproved. I got a sample set from the house to try out the signature line, so more to come. Hellenist Les Dieux aux Bains - This falls in my comfort scent category. My number one is Sailing day, but this is one I've been reaching for too. This is a light and fragile fragrance. Very calming and pleasing. Clean, aquatic, and aromatic. Its airy, watery and clean...it reminds me of a lighter Pacific Rock Flower. I think its a very 'French' type of house, if you know what I mean. This is unisex, not leaning fem or masculine. Performance is hard for me to gauge. It has ambroxian, which I think makes it disappear to my nose. I get whiffs, and can smell it when I put my nose in my wrist but its not strong. Lasts some hours, hard to tell thus far as I need more testing. I really enjoy it when I smell it. I also have a sample set from the house to try out the rest of their offerings.

The other day, I accidentally layered a fragrance with a prominent cinnamon note over a fragrance with a prominent cypress note and I thought they really went well together. I did some research and there are two fragrances I noticed that have both notes and look interesting. Has anyone tried Widian Black I or Xerjoff P33?

I have been really enjoying this fragrance lately. The opening of this fragrance is a semi-sweet fruity scent coming from the Pear and Mandarin Orange. At 15 Min - Some of the sweetness has settled and I am picking up some of the Ginger note. At 30 Min - I am still picking up some of the subtle fruitiness, but also getting some of the Orange Blossom note. 60 Min into the wear, I am still picking up the sweetness from the Orange Blossom but also getting some Musk and Woodiness. The dry down of this fragrance is a musky and woody scent with hints of semi-sweet florals. Performance: Projection is OK with the fragrance creating a scent bubble of about 2 feet for about 2 hours. The sillage is also OK with a scent trail of about 2.5 feet for about 2 hours. Longevity is fair with the fragrance lasting on my skin about 6 to 7 hours, but becoming a skin scent at about 3 hours.
