Not sure how many of you have been able to smell this new one from Jimmy Choo. This one is sweet, clean and a bit spicy. This one to my nose smells very similar to Prada Paradigm and the YSL Myslf EDP and Absolute. This is a solid easy versatile scent, good for all 4 seasons. Work safe, daytime, casual I would say. Projection is good for the first 2 hours of about 2 feet with a nice scent trail and bubble. Longevity is about 6-7 hours. Presentation is solid. Gold Jimmy Choo style bottles (fingerprint magnets) atomizers are excellent pressurized as usual that give excellent coverage. I’d say this could be redundant if you own Prada Paradigm. So smell before you buy to make sure, but otherwise this is a very safe blind buy imo 8/10.

A 2025 EDP, supposedly inspired by NYC nightlife and energy. Overall it’s fresh, sweet, and smooth. It’s versatile and pleasing, easy to wear for office, dates, or casual. It leans modern designer with good mass appeal. The scent profile includes top notes of blackcurrant, mandarin, and bergamot which gives it a fruity opening. In the heart is lavender, sandalwood, and geranium. The base brings bourbon vanilla, fir, and oakmoss that gives it a creamy, warm, slightly sweet drydown. It is similar to MYSLF L’Absolu or Montblanc Legend Elixir. Performance is good. Longevity is solid at 8+ hours and has moderate projection, but high on initial spray. Presentation is great, the bottle is a sleek chrome flask style. It’s also wife approved. A safe buy or safe sample if you’re looking for a versatile, modern daily wearer. Worth trying in store for sure

Last day in Vegas and this has been my most frequent wears here. Thank you @Ben E for re-upping me. I still need to do the 3 way.

Today I wore a decant of Phantom in Red by Rabanne. Although it’s my first time trying a Phantom flanker and I’m not a fan of the bottle, I still enjoyed this one. Don’t know if it has the DNA of the other ones but this opens very different IMO with the Saffron, Plum Liquor & Bergamot, giving it like a soft sweet and pleasing opening, at the heart you can smell those aromatic notes & in the dry down, although from the opening you can smell that ambery scent, in the dry down I didn’t get the Oud & neither the tobacco note. Projection is good for the first 1:30 to 2 hours and longevity is pretty decent, on clothe it stayed up to 8 hours. Although it’s more for cooler weather and for nighttime, I was pleased with it. Hope you had a good one BOS
