SsOTD - Kajal III, Boudicea Energizer & Bentley Intense

It's been in the upper 80s, lower 90s here and warm weather frags are needed. I started the day (8AM) with the fresh, citrusy/ grapefruit/lemon notes of Kajal III. It's really refreshing and a little reminiscent of Bvlgari Tyger or better yet, Turathi Blue. Compliments from three people. Around 1:30 PM I was up for something else but still wanted refreshing (90 degrees), so I reached for the MOST refreshing frag I have; Boudicea Energizer. They don't call that stuff "Energizer" for nothing! Again, citrusy; grapefruit, bergamot, lemon with vetiver on the dry down. REALLY well blended and compared to other Boudiceas, "reasonably" priced.🤨

Around 6PM I was ready for something with a little more heft to it. Ladies and gentlemen, it is very tough to find anything more masculine, warm, woody, smoky, leathery, BOOZY than Bentley Intense. This is a core holding for every guy who likes Scotch, cigars, football, etc. What a GREAT fragrance. On the other hand, I'm looking at the comments on fragrantica and apparently, several people wouldn't consider it blind-buy safe. Really?? OK. Your loss... High quality, great price, strong. Yeah, STRONG, but in a really good way. My bottle has been sitting around for close to a year and I don't know... Maybe that helped. I don't remember it being this great last year when I first got it. I wouldn't sell my bottle if you offered me 3x what I priced for it. I love it. 9.0/10.0. Again, IMO it's a core holding all day every day.
