The stand for my glasses will be arriving tomorrow and will go on the top shelf. I’m currently looking for some lighting. What’s everyone’s thoughts?

This one has one of those slightly frustrating three note breakdowns, lemon coffee and vetiver that doesn't really do it justice. There's definitely the sweetness spiciness so vanilla for sure. It reminds me of an old green sweater I had when I was a younger, slightly ill fitting, but comforting. While this isn't the most popular flanker of the line, it's definitely worth checking out, not least because I have a nostalgic connection as it was one of the very first scents I was curious about based on a recommendation from Antonio when I first discovered his channel. Wishing everyone a wonderful Friday in January. It's winter in the northern hemisphere where I live and it might not even actually be Friday anymore for some. If so, I'm just wishing everyone a wonderful day, evening night etc.🤣

Hey good people! I just had to get this bottle. I’ll be testing tomorrow. Dior Homme Intense 2025

Grabbed a few clone decants from a seller off of Etsy and have been giving them the initial test. Rayhaan Obsidian - I never tried the OG, Dior Homme Parfum in any of its iterations but I do have a few iris frags so I wanted to give this a shot to see if it was redundant. The iris isn't as pronounced as in DHI and is less lipsticky. It mixes with that leather and becomes very smooth. The two come together and form something I've never really smelled before, but it's good! Has a lot of promise for a full bottle as it is different from the other iris frags I have. Lattafa Asad Elixir - Tried the OG, Boss Bottled Absolu in store and I get the similarity but it's not too close. Less patchouli I think. Seems smoother and easier to wear than BBA. In the same vein as regular Asad in a way. If it goes down to the cheap price of regular Asad I'd probably grab it. Rayhaan Terra - Again, never smelled to OG, Amouage Outlands but just smelling this one I have to say it's great. Woodsy, spicy and a little sweetness that runs through with a touch of oud. Very classy and niche smelling. A Banger for sure and no doubt full bottle worthy (because I'm not shelling out the bucks for the OG). Lattafa Vintage Radio - Clone of Initio Parfums Privés Paragon which I haven't tried either. This is my least favorite of them all. Supposed to be plum that dries down to a woodsiness. On paper (the seller shipped some free test strips) the plum is prominent and lasts a bit. On my skin, the plum disappears in less than a minute and what's left is a woodsy, kind of green and kind of funky. I don't know if it's the Palo Santo but it's not very pleasant to my nose. Unless it needs time to macerate I'd pass on this one. The seller also sent a free vial of Rayhaan Elixir, a clone of JPG Le Male Elixir. I already have a decant of the original and also a bottle of Hawas Elixir. Compares to the Hawas so I don't really need it but hey, it's free!

Not much to say about this that hasn't already been said. Banger!
