Maiden voyage for this new pickup. These have to be my favorite caps for starters 👑, and this one specifically. Silver/navy combo 👌🏼. I picked up a small edt a while back and I totally enjoy it. It’s clean, fresh, crisp and is very similar to coach open road I discovered. This one however takes a small slice of that og dna and deepens it a bunch. Less bright and more rich. There’s a patchouli punch here too which I love and makes this distinct, but still an easy refined wear. Picked it up at ROSS for right around the same price as Jomashop too👌🏼 so it came home with me on the spot. Smell great today brothers. Have the best day.

What are the brother's opinion of Ambassador by Gisada? I am interested in hearing others' thoughts before I cloud anyone judgement with my review of the scent. Thank you.

...is almost all grown up now. In fact, I've outgrown my display shelves, so I'm moving some to the bathroom (yeah yeah I know it's not good for the frags, but this bathroom is super well ventilated, it gets zero sunlight, and I'm only putting in my most worn frags that I'll burn through before they go bad): - One shelf for year-round daily grab 'n go dumb reaches (year round, I find myself reaching for Dior Homme 2020, Prada Luna Rossa Ocean EDT, and Armaf Mandarin Sky Elixir) - One shelf for seasonal daily grab 'n go dumb reaches (in cool weather, I find myself reaching for Boss Bottled Absolu, Lalique Ombre Noir, and TF Eau d'Ombre Leather) - One shelf for decants I'm testing and travel sprays I use most often when traveling I think I need a few more frags for the following categories: - one more warm spicy (I think I'd sell/trade Incense 01 to make room): top candidates are Blonde Amber or Sauvage Elixir, or maybe the new Micallef Nototious XO which I’ve been testing and is just delicious - one dumb reach sweet vanilla (I'd squeeze BB Absolu onto the display shelves and put the new one on my seasonal shelf): top candidates are MB Club Black; Superz Memories Gold; Boss Collection Exhilarating Vanilla (I got my nose on it in London this week and it seemed really good -- I need to see if I can find a decant); or maybe SWYI or TMWP - one more 3-season easy wear (I'd squeeze it onto the display shelves): this one is tough, thinking Superz Morocco or Smesh; Initio Rehab; Boss Bottled Beyond; or maybe Boss Collection Elegant Vetiver - I got my nose on this in London this week and if I can find a decant, I definitely want to give it a wear My collection is 3-season and cool weather heavy (I mean, here in the PNW we don't really get much summer) and any future purchases beyond the three I mentioned above would probably be warm/hot weather choices. But... I don't really *need* any more warm weather fragrances, and aside from the bottle categories I mentioned above, I think I might be done buying full bottles. With my crazy process of buying and battling decants, I can honestly say I absolutely love every single bottle I own, and there are literally hundreds of other frags that I've worn and found not to be as good for me as the ones I ended up buying.

Good morning, Brotherhood! Rushing out today, so this will be short and sweet. Continuing with testing a few plum fragrances that @Henry Clay sent me (2 of 3). Today we have Plum Cigarillo from the house of DUA. This is an original scent from DUA, so I was quite excited to give it a sniffy sniff. I must admit, upon the first spray, the opening caught me off guard. My brain was a little confused as there was so much going on. I was getting what seemed like a waxy, almost medicinal cherry backed by some honey. I think I was also picking up some “hay,” which gave it a synthetic vanilla vibe. The whole opening was confusing enough that I kept going in for sniff after sniff. But the dry down… boys, the dry down is where this one shines! As it develops, the plum kicks in slightly syrupy and a tad boozy. The cherry stays prominent, while the vanilla smooths out, and a wonderful, rich tobacco ties everything together perfectly. You’re left with a soothing cherry, plum, tobacco accord that’s reminiscent of Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille. When I got to my shop this morning, I left the warehouse, grabbed a coffee in the break room, and came back…BOOM, I could smell the fragrance hanging in the air, and man, it was good. It’s rare that I can detect my own sillage after leaving an area, but this one lingered beautifully. I’m a fan. It’s a unique fragrance that scratches that plum, tobacco itch BUT if you’re not into darker fragrances, this one is probably not for you. I rate this one 8.9 out of 10, simply because of the brain scramble it put me through was intriguing and kept me coming back for more. If I had to choose between Plum Cigarillo and Plumlicious, I’d go with Plum Cigarillo. But needless to say, I’m buying both. LOL. NOTES: Honey, Amber, Tobacco, Cherry, Madagascan Vanilla, Ripe Plum, Plum Liqueur Accord, Cinnamon, Cacao, Allspice, Venezuelan Tonka Bean, Cognac, Hay, and Cashmeran. Have a fantastic day, Brotherhood, and do yourself a favor: compliment someone today. They just might need that little bit of positivity. STAY STINKING GOOD!
