Discovered this cross this morning when trying to decide what to wear. Ended up with Wild Vetiver but before leaving the house gave Dior a quick smell to see if id made a mistake, wrist being next to my nose too I got a wiff of both at the same time and I think I've instantly fallen in love!

Having to replenish the summer stock - but on something of a budget. Have opted for these two, tried a sample of both - Amazon had a great deal on them! Would've been daft not too. Afnan 9pm Rebel - if you like pineapple, on the softer, sweeter end - thos is an excellent option! Rayhaan Imperia - very, very versatile, strikes me as a hybrid of Aventus and D&G Intenso. Much more subtle than 9pm Rebel, and more fresh/clean in overall style. Hope you all having an awesome Saturday!

#sotd... Aquatica by Rayhaan... This opens with a blast of Lime. Very good projection for about 1.5 hours. As it starts to settle down, the coconut makes its way forward to take over from there. To my nose, those are the two main characters in this fragrance... I did pickup on some sweetness and very little bit of a musky scent. I got between 6 to 7 hours before it dropped into of musky scent to finish it off.

Going with this one today. I added this to my collection not long ago so I decided to give it try,even though it’s more of a winter/fall fragrance. Going to be out and about running some errands and dropping by the cigar shop/lounge to pick up a few sticks. From the opening it’s pretty zesty, fresh, and slightly aromatic. Definitely citrus and spice. Will update later today my thoughts after wearing it awhile.

On my typical laundry/chill out Saturday, i decided to try this one I described before: https://www.skool.com/bos/new-pickup-347fb6ba It opens with a very loud and natural citrusy smelling that quickly tones down to a very soft and delicate floral/citrusy skin soapy. It’s a cologne that doesn’t last. But for my collection, it’s a piece of history that has 234 years with a beautiful bottle that has been inspiration for many modern fragrances with similar DNA’s like Tom Ford Neroli Portofino. It’s perfect for after the shower hot days, after the pool or the beach, to layering, quick running errands, etc.
