Morning run and put on the polo sport. Love this one but after an hour sweating it's gone. After shower put on Scent Reserve #25 inspired by Creed Aventus. This one has no staying power either, but definitely over sprayed! Well see how long it lasts.

Needed some energy to go to work today so what better than eros energy itself, clean, citrusy and uplifting.

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen of BOS! Today I wanted to share with you my take on one of the biggest staples in masculine perfumery throughout history, Azzaro's 1978 release: Azzaro Pour Homme. What a fragrance! I had been looking forward on getting a bottle of this fragrance ever since I saw it for the first time; the current minimalist version of its bottle make it look surprisingly modern and sober yet pretty old school and classy, one of the most timeless bottles I've come across, I'd say. The Juice itself hits that way as well since it smells soapy and masculine clean without getting into cliché modern or too dated for new generations. Azzaro themselves mention this very fragrance being composed of over 300 ingredients! Yet the note breakdown can be summed up into the following simple notes: Heavy Lavender, Basil, Clary Sage and star Anise with a hint of Lemon and Bergamot in the top; Cedar, Juniper Berries, Vetiver and a touch of patchouli in the middle; and Oakmoss, Musk, Leather and Amber for the bottom notes. Overall, this fragrance smells Herbal, Spicy and very barber-like soapy clean. The performance is great for the price point as well; a solid 8 hour longevity on skin, 10 on clothing and good projection and sillage during the first two and a half hours. As a side note, if you want to try this DNA for half the already great price of Azzaro Pour Homme, you can try Cuba Black by Cuba Paris; It comes as close as 90% to the original APH just a little less spicy and more into the green fresh side of the composition.

Salutations Brotherhood of Scent! After taking a not-so-short break I'm finally back with another review, this time, of one of my latest acquisitions, Club de Nuit - Sillage by Armaf. Sillage is a fresh citrusy expensive smelling unisex fragrance. While based off of Creed's 1995 release, Silver Mountain Water (which I haven't tried yet) I'd differ from the idea of it being a 1:1 clone based off of the note breakdown of each and because of one key ingredient; iris (which at least on my bottle, batch 440592, is pretty noticeable throughout the life cycle of the fragrance). My nose tells me the breakdown as the following: Bergamot, Lime and Ginger for the top notes; Iris and Rose in the middle; and a dose of clean Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood and a hint of Ambroxan for the base notes. Even though I'm not the hugest fan of modern fragrances, I definitely knew I had to give sillage a shot as soon as I found out it was based off of a 90s fragrance, and man oh man was I surprised, and not only by its scent; for it being a fresh citrusy fragrance, the performance is amazing, 6 to 8 hour skin longevity with good projection and sillage during the first hour, overall one of the entries of the house of Armaf I could definitely recommend trying... Blind buy worth it? Maybe! But keep in mind it may come with some iris on it's composition (although maybe not as strong as in my bottle)

Hello people! Today I decided to reach out for one of my absolute favorite fragrances from the house of Armaf, and by what I've heard the best entry of the whole Club de Nuit Intense Man lineup, Armaf's CdN IM UAE Day Special Edition. This fragrance is amazing, the rough lemon note everyone dislikes about the original CdNIM is pretty toned down, and the overall composition of the fragrance is much more refined and way better rounded than the OG. The performance is great! It comes on an EDT concentration which provides an amazing projection and sillage as well as the longevity of an EDP (10+ hours easy) The note breakdown, as you'd expect of an Aventus dupe; A fresh citrusy opening with Bergamot, Lemon and a touch of pepper, a Smoky pineapple from the middle to dry down and a heavy cedarwood note during the drydown. Although there's no sandalwood listed on either Aventus or Club de Nuit Intense Man, I find it to be a pretty creamy fragrance, specially during the drydown, which is what made me absolutely love this very fragrance. My recommendation would be the same as many other reviewers, If you already have the original CdNIM EDT, maybe try this version out, if you've got the Parfum version, that's pretty much as good, and if you don't have any Club de Nuit Intense Man, and you're interested on getting a bottle, look after this version first. Ah and the price is right in the middle of the original EDT price and the Parfum while having the best of both worlds.
