What can I say other than what has already been said about this one. A somewhat powdery vanilla with a light woody undertone. Mass appealing, from what I have found, and stays with you most if not all of the day. I just picked up my hoodie and got a whiff of it well over 8 hours later. I have found that three to five spray to be more than enough and honestly anything over five is way too much for me, five honestly pushes the limit. I always get someone asking me what I have on or saying they really like the smell anytime I wear it. In my opinion it works great in the office as long as you don't overspray yourself. I know some folks can be a bit polarizing on this one and say they are disappointed with the dry down but I don't experience this. I love it from the open all the way through. If you haven't tried it yet I recommend at least getting a decant and trying it out.

This is a brand new release from Valentino and it is AMAZING!!

So I am curious, I received a mailer from Creed in NYC and in it was a sample of Amouage Reflection Man. I don't remember requesting the sample but it does smell pretty good. I am just curious if anyone else received one of these or why it might have come from Creed?

It’s Christmas Eve and there is really only one fragrance to pull from my collection that fits the bill. Happyland Studios Homme for the Holidays. I know everyone talks about Burberry being Christmas in a bottle but if you’ve never tried this one it truly is Christmas time in the bottle. Picked up a bottle last year and got a lot of compliments on it. Be careful if you grab a bottle it is strong and has a lot of staying power, too many sprays will give you a headache. I find that two maybe adding a half to that is more than plenty.

So I will start this small review of Rayhaan Corium with I had never heard of it before and it came from a suggestion from @Eduardo Figueroa after I posted looking for Stronger with You Leather. I have to tip my hat and say tank you for putting me onto this one sir! So if you have never put your nose on this one I highly suggest you do, especially for the price. At the time I bought it was $25 USD on Amazon. If you like Vanilla and Leather you could blind buy this one and be A Ok! Upon initial spray you get a blast of Vanilla but a bit more spice and leathery vanilla. The vanilla seems to fall of a bit during the drive into work and transition into the leather profile but with that vanilla still hanging around. Lets say a sweeter vanilla, but not sweet like headache inducing and more warm tannery in winter vibes. The warm leather stays with you throughout the say and almost felt like it was fading around hour three or so but then catches its second wind during its dry down and reignites the leather profile. I am pushing hour 12 with this one and I can still smell it on myself. This was a definite winner and glad I picked it up! Order yourself a bottle today as I am sure you will enjoy it.
