Greetings Gents. My family and I will be visiting the FLL/MIA area this week I was wondering if there are any particular fragrance ‘landmarks ‘to drag my family to whilst I’m visiting. Thanks for your assistance.

We are entering August and many of us have or are about to take our summer vacations. It got me thinking: If you could bottle the scent of your favorite vacation spot, what would it smell like? Mine would smell like Greece. Olive wood, lemon, fig, a hint of honey and pistachio. What say you? What would your vacation smell like?

An alternative to Creed Millésime Impérial (I don’t have it so I can’t tell how close it is.) Milestone is fruity, salty, woody, ambery, masculine and powerful. Works perfect on the heat but also for any season and occasion. It has great projection and longevity. Love it!

Just got back from 2 week Paris and Italy trip, scored some great regional fragrances and a banger from Zara and a few Duas that were delivered while I was gone. For those that know me, I try to pickup a frag on my international trips, that are regional or specific to that area. I definitely found one from Santa Maria Novella, which has been around since 1221 and a couple from Alessandro Serpico which local in Italy and run a handful of small boutique shops. Creed was an impulse buy and I feel like I got a good price at the Creed store. $320 for 100ml after VAT refund and exchange rate. I originally was only going to get the 50ml, but wife loved it so much she wanted to share, so I popped for the 100ml. Zara Rich Warm Addictive Frosted Woods, I just love this line and couldn't resisting addin this one to my other 2 from the line. Dua, what can I say I love my budget alternatives where I like the OG, but not enough to pop for the OG, Tabac Blonde was a recreation of the vintage formulation of Blonde Tobacco.

For anyone with a Costco card, they just added a bunch of Initio options to their online App Store. Prices in the $230 to $290 range for the 90mL bottles. A couple of nice Xerjoffs available as well. Prices may vary by store and location.
