Good morning fragrance family. I am feeling optimistic about the day ahead and grateful that we are one step closer to the weekend. There is something about pushing through the week with purpose that makes the reward of rest feel even sweeter. My scent of the day is a little dark but absolutely fantastic for a designer fragrance. Today I am wearing Armani Privé Noir Kogane. This fragrance is a testament to my long held belief that designer private lines represent what designer perfumery should have been from the beginning. The composition is deep, rich, woody, and spicy with an animalic touch that gives it character and presence. It is all beautifully rounded out by a dry vetiver that keeps everything grounded and elegant. This one earns an unquestionable 8.75 from me. Make it a great day, family, and smell amazing doing it.

This is a fun scent as we enter the 25 degree heat wave!! 😜. While you can certainly feel smell the Oud/wood notes it is definitely a sweeter, more flowery scent but in a good way. I am able to pick the rose up fairly regularly . It makes me hope that warmer weather will continue and the spring flowers may show up sooner rather than later. Projection is nice but not over whelming. My book keeper who has plenty to say about my fragrances (good and bad) came right out and said it was good and what was it. So that is a win! My wife has already complimented me on this today as well. So I'm glad it's already had "Full Bottle Status" in the collection. Hope you all have a great Wednesday!!
