Gave this a test yesterday and wearing it today after letting it sit for a few days. Blind buy off Rescented for a dirt cheap price so why not give it a try? From the reviews, most call it a blue fragrance with a musky, powdery twist. For me, I don't get powdery at all. It's like a blue mixed with an aquatic that's heavy on the musk, which to me gives it a funkiness that fades into the drydown. It makes this not your typical blue and adds a uniqueness that makes it stand out from the rest. I do like it, however the performance for an edp leaves a lot to be desired. It doesn't project all that much and doesn't last all that long. It's a definite overspray situation for me at least. This is nothing like the decant of the parfum that I have which is very iris heavy like Valentino Uomo Intense. Overall, not a bad pickup for what I paid.

Pisa by Lattafa that officially joined the house’s collection in early 2024. It's actually part of their prestigious Pride line, and not the niche emerati as the bottle would lead you too believe. Pisa is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance. As always the perfumer behind the scent is often kept under the Lattafa house umbrella, the fragrance has a clean, architectural inspiration, echoing the elegance of its Italian namesake. It begins with a vibrant opening, characterized by a zesty trio of mandarin, lemon, and bergamot. It's more bitter than sweet, I'm not a fan. As the sharp citrus edges begin to soften, the heart transitions into a singular, prominent note of cedarwood. This middle phase provides a dry, aromatic backbone that grounds the zest of the top notes with a sense of masculine strength and structure. Finally, the dry down settles into a warm and creamy foundation of sandalwood and amber. The sandalwood lends a smooth, velvety texture to the skin, while the amber provides a resinous warmth that ensures the fragrance remains sophisticated and inviting long after the initial spray. Pisa, for a citrus-dominant scent, performs ok, you can expect 4hrs on skin, with a moderate projection. It creates a scent bubble that is noticeable to those nearby without becoming overwhelming or cloying. Because of its bright, airy opening and warm woody base, it is exceptionally versatile across the seasons. To be honest if but this just for the bottle, it's a showpiece. Don't like the opening, but the drydown is rather good My Rating 5/10 Scent 1.5 Longevity 1.5 Sillage 1.5 Y/N .5
