Maiden voyage with this weekend’s newest pick up and the perfect edition to round off my Luna Rossa lineup as of currently. New bottle design and formulation I’m guessing as well. I can’t believe I never managed to smell this scent before. I am way late on this one but I sure am glad I have it now. Typical Luna Rossa modern fougere vibe here with an emphasis on lavender and vanilla. It’s fresh, clean, rich and sophisticated all at once. Masculine and definitely crowd pleasing. I couldn’t really see too many people not liking this fragrance. Close to 1hr projection followed by a good 3-4hrs on skin. Easily a daily driver and signature worthy. This line, excluding the ocean flankers, is really great all around and I’m glad to have them on my shelf. This is going to be Prada week for me 💪🏼😉. Smell great frag fam. Have the best blessed day.

Did fragrantica just switch up their whole website or I’m I tripping hard? https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Xerjoff/Tony-Iommi-Monkey-Special-70789.html

Fellow frag heads—rookies, veterans, and everyone in between—I’ve gotta ask. How many times have you confidently not needed a new fragrance… until you read a glowing review from one of our own and suddenly your wallet “slipped”? Be honest—how often have you blind-bought a scent almost entirely because a fellow member made it sound like bottled perfection?

Second or third full wear today with this gem I grabbed at Ross a couple months ago. I already had the edt and enjoy it during the warm weather finding it extremely similar to Coach Open Road which I also have and enjoy (redundant), but this release is much smoother and less loud. It manages to keep the same dna but with more of a refined and rounded out blend while being mildly darker in a sense. It’s very nice and a touch more elegant if I had to call it anything. Performance is solid with good projection for an easy hour plus sillage. Dried down on skin it lasts another easy 6hrs. It opens citrusy woody and sweet all until this fantastic fig starts rolling around giving it that undeniable distinction. Eventually you’re left with a leathery woody sweet fig allure with that nice subtle saffron kiss 👌🏼. Fantastic fragrance. Have the best day brothers. Smell great out there.
