I was wondering if anyone here has ever attended a ‘Master Class’ offered by perfume houses at luxury department stores. I am to attend one presented by Nordstrom tomorrow. Curious as to what I expect. Thanks for any sort of a response.

Today I am wearing Initio’s Paragon, & a dupe of which is called Vintage Radio, and my newly acquired Scented Oil dupe from Fragrancebodyoilz. Really love this fragrance.

Introduce yourself and level-up, it's that simple! You'll get at least 5 likes (oftentimes more!) which will move you to level 2 and on your way to level 3 (these levels give you access to prizes!). What to say in your intro? Share where you're from, your reason for joining, your profession, perhaps your favorite fragrance or a picture of your entire collection! Whether you're a seasoned cologne collector or just starting, have fun engaging with the group.

Still crazy cold out where I am, so a bit of sweetness in the air helps the day go by! This one is very close to Khamra, except it doesn’t have the buttery base underneath. It’s still sweet and crowd pleasing, which I enjoy very much. Angel’s’ Share is reserved for mostly holidays and special occasions, where this is more of an everyday type of wear.

So many of the brothers have been rocking this gem lately, so I decided to give it another wear. Released last year Absolu has taken the Original Bottled dna, added some fruity elements and magnified it. This is a more refined version, it's rich, dark & deep. I would honestly believe its the best in the entire line, and I own quite a few now. This is as close to beast mode as Boss have ever been. I like this so much it has managed to slide into my top 10 as a new entry at no 5. It opens up with crisp Apple & a juicy plum note which is ballanced with a warm cinnamon to great effect. That initial sweetness that this fragrances revolves around is that plum note, which gives a beautiful sweetness. The mid notes introduce a leather accord, which stands out well. Patchouli & myrrh add some depth. The dry down reveals a rich blend of sandalwood, musk & cedarwood/amber, which give it a warm, woody character. on occassion im also picking up on a touch of smoky incense. Performance is something else here. Whilst some of its siblings fall short here, Absolu will have your back for the best part of the day, were talking up to 12 hours here. Good projection with a nice scent bubble too. Definitly a colder weather, night time, date night scent. My Rating 9/10 Scent 3 Longevity 2.5 Sillage 2.5 Y/N 1
