So I have been thinking of a new weekly challenge. I am normally a 2 frag a day sprayer, daytime when I am working and evening when i am outside relaxing. My past personal challenges - Dua only - Sample and decants only, which I need to do again, they are piling up😂 - No frag Looking for idea, here. A couple I have been considering - One house only, excluding Dua - 2 or 4 frags only, pick 2 or 4 frags and I can only wear those - Middle eastern dupe only - Old middle eastern dupes only, I have decants of ones that I haven't work in a year plus. What other cool ideas do you guys have for personal challenges?

My DecantX delivery, including decants of Nefs, Creme de Cuir, and Diptyque Orpheon was taken minutes after being delivered. I am trying to figure out who steals a Fedex envelope?

Day four of my Parfums de Marly journey finds me with Kaplan. It is an Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. The top notes are Spices, Blood Orange and Black Pepper; middle notes are Lavender and Orange Blossom; base notes are Woody Notes, Moss, White Sandalwood, Tonka Bean and Amber. It’s a wet and chilly morning back on the bayou so I wanted something warm and spicy today and this fit the bill, couldn’t have planned that better.

Today’s wear is a nice offering from the house of Valentino. It keeps a similar DNA to Intense and Extradose but adds a solar note giving it more versatile year round wearability. I wouldn’t wear it during a summer day but a summer night would be fine. It’s a blend of vanilla, woods and spices with the one light solar note making it less heavy. Longevity is good and projection is moderate with a decent 12-18 inch scent bubble.

There's a two day golf tourney starting today at the club. Had to pick a "sports frag", so I quickly reached for my Lacoste L.12.12 and hit the first tee. I ended up shooting pretty damn well today🏌️⛳ but tomorrow I'm not going to do the superstitious thing and wear the same thing. No sir. Tomorrow is all about Boudicea THE VICTORIOUS!! I'll probably go with Energizer. THe Lacoste is a great sports frag that's woody and aromatic with a fresh and clean, "out-of-the-shower" vibe. The opening is a bright and zesty (good word), dominated by grapefruit, along with some spices. As it dries down, the floral come to the surface giving it a clean, and powdery vibe like a bar of soap. The base has vetiver, and a little leather, giving it some earthiness. Overall the scent is clean, light, and freshing. It highly inoffensive and a fantastic "everyday" fragrance. 7.4 / 10.0
