Ok, so today I learned that Rolex makes perfumes. However, they are not on sale and are only gifted to their frequent customers. I am nowhere near the tax bracket to have a rapport with a Rolex associate. Who here has had a bottle, or who has even tried it?

This is another designer fragrance that I really liked after a couple of sprays at Macys, so I got a decant to play with for awhile. The official notes say ginger and leather, but I honestly couldn't clearly identify either of those notes. I found it fresh, light, smooth, and slightly woody in the open. It immediately felt mild, but my coworkers could smell my light scent trail after I had left an area of the office, which was surprising. That lasted about 2 hours before turning mild to the 6 hr mark. It maintains an airy, pleasant aroma, with a soft leather and woody base. Not a standout, but nice.

Although I’ve been wanting the Intense version….. I could not pass on this at my local perfume spot on close out for $20 !!!!!!!!

My precious wife knocked it out of the park with this one! My first Xerjoff! ♥️🎄

While I was away from the board, I got caught up on everything I wanted to sample, and this was my "Need to Investigate" list: ...*blank*...

So, while I needed time to learn how NOT to post my every fragrance related thought, my journey is greatly enriched by being in fellowship with all of you. "The internet" cannot replace the freeflow of information sharing and relationship that goes on here, and I'm looking forward to what surprises await as we move through 2025 into '26!
