Criminally undervalued and underrated imho!!!!! This is listed as a woman’s frag but I call it 55/45. Warm sweet woody spicy boozy and resinous sound bad to you? Me either!!!!! Try this and let it evolve over 8-12 hours. Does this project 100 yards? No. 1 yard/meter. It’s softer than interlude man and rounded dare I say, better???? Sillage is great leaving a wonderful trail. What say you? Have you tried this and truly given it a honest wear????

They finally arrived — and I opened the box like a kid on Christmas morning who specifically asked for swagger. After much anticipation, this evening I received both new fragrances from the house of Elyon Dubai (Curly’s Fragrances), and even though I only planned a quick test, I ended up doing a full sniff-session like a sommelier with a grudge against subtlety. BLUF: I am thrilled with the blind buy — these two just earned a seat at the table next to my Tom Ford, Creed, and Xerjoff. Infinity smells like a luxury night drive in a leather interior — smooth woods, a soft touch of sweet fruit, and just enough rose to whisper, “Yes, this costs money.” It’s the fragrance equivalent of pulling up in a blacked-out car with ambient lighting, even if you’re really just going to Walgreens. Himeros (my favorite) is Infinity’s darker, mysterious cousin — the one with a motorcycle, excellent hair, and zero interest in returning phone calls. It’s smoky, leathery, sweet in the most dangerous way, and powerful enough that one spray feels like you’ve just entered a villain’s penthouse. Definitely not my usual “office-safe” choice, but tomorrow night it’s coming with me to the Cowboy Dance Hall. A cowboy with Middle Eastern flair? Boots, leather, oud energy? The fragrance is already doing more line-dancing than I am.

At the end of a rough day, UPS showed up at my door about five minutes after I got home. Wish all deliveries were timed that well. My bottle of Austin showed up. Really like the presentation City Rhythm does.

Well guess I am starting my Amouage journey now. Its almost like I am a grown up in the frag community. Also trying a new house called L’Atelier with this new one called Zeste d’Orange and Oud. Sounded incredible.

Not really a scent for running errands in sweats and snow boots but what do I care???? 😂 beast mode activated!!! -2 deg Fahrenheit this morning.
