Thank you @Will Southard for the new scents that weren't originally in the discovery set. Much appreciated. I'm excited to try them out as the weather finally will be cooler for a few days so I can try out some of the scents. New scent names are Moroccan Gold, Nightshade, Lost World. The new fragrances are not yet on the website. I have no idea what they are about. So I think I'll take a stab with Lost World tomorrow.

I ran across this by accident and I can't say I had read about their use in fragrance. I was asking SuperGrok about a fragrance and the ingredients to understand notes and accords. As examples Dior Savage uses them, Creed Green Irish Tweed does not. How they work in a fragrance Fragrance molecules (especially certain aldehydes, ionones, and other sensitive aroma chemicals) can absorb UV light and undergo photodegradation. This can change the scent profile (creating off-notes), fade intensity, or alter color over time. UV filters absorb UV radiation and dissipate the energy as heat, helping preserve the original composition while the bottle sits on a shelf or is used in daylight. Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone) — primarily a UVA absorber Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate) — primarily a UVB absorber Ethylhexyl Salicylate (Octisalate) — primarily a UVB absorber They are among the most widely used chemical UV filters in cosmetics. Overall prevalence These (and other UV filters) are fairly common in contemporary designer and niche fragrances when formulators want extra protection against light, especially with clear bottles or light-sensitive notes. They are not universal — many classics and some modern scents omit them entirely, relying instead on packaging, antioxidants, or simply accepting normal shelf-life limits. Their presence does not change the on-skin performance characteristics of the fragrance; it is primarily a stability measure for the product in the bottle.

After all the chatter about closing and @Andrew G. post, I received this today. Glad I disputed my order, as they are master letter writers @Ben E @Scott Ripley you are correct,

Been a little while posting. I had a gift card from a lawsuit settlement with a small balance. Thought I'd give them a go. Based in Flo Rida so that is a plus. With the weather here in the low 80's and soon to 70's (evenings/mornings in the 50's) I can cover all the scents in wear. Looking forward to them. Also, most interested in The Iris Obsidian, Moon Lotus and the Red Rum. I know the perfumer is @Will Southard a brother here who is out at some fragrance conference this weekend.
