Continuing to discover and test ATH fragrances. The initial opening is a very fruity and sweet with some citrus undertones. At 15 minutes I pick up a more complex fruity sweetness. At 30 minutes the complexity of the fruit scent has settled down, and I am getting a very nice citrus/fruity scent profile. At 60 minutes, on my skin the fragrance is still coming off sweet, but the citrus has definitely dissipated. I am also starting to get some of the Nutmeg. The dry down of this fragrance is a citrus, fruity, and woody (Sandalwood) scent that has some undertones of a creamy Vanilla/Tonka scent. Performance: Off my skin, the projection of this fragrance is great with it creating a scent bubble of about 3 feet for about 2.5 hours. The sillage is also great with a scent trail of 3+ feet for 2+ hours. Longevity on my skin is between 7 to 8 hours with the fragrance becoming a skin scent after about 4 hours. This fragrance is definitely FBW.

Another freshie for me today. PDM Castley to me is an excellent warm weather option. The best way I can describe how it smells is, if you took LV Imagination and mixed with PDM Sedley. Very fresh peppery ginger citrus opening. Work safe/ Spring, Summer/ daytime/ casual or formal. Presentation is rock solid as with all PDM. Heavy duty translucent grey bottle with a heavy duty cap that snaps into place. Projection and Longevity are both solid. 7 hours longevity with about 2 feet of projection. Solid edition to the other fresh ones in the lineup. Price point is high on this one even at discounters. 8.5/10

As promised continuing to test my ATH samples and today we are wearing Whore Blue. The initial opening is a blast of sweet resin and Nutmeg. At 15 minutes I am still getting a resinous sweet scent with some undertones of creaminess. At 30 minutes I am starting to pick up on the Tobacco notes blended with the Nutmeg and Elemi. At 60 minutes into the wear the Vanilla and Tonka have made their appearance and have provided another layer to this scent profile. The dry down of this fragrance is a scent profile of Vanilla, Musk, and Amber (my favorites) but with a slightly pungent undertone coming from the Tobacco and Vetiver. Performance: The projection of this fragrance is good with it creating a scent bubble of about 2 feet for about 2 hours. The sillage is also good with a scent trail of about 2+ feet for about 2+ hours as well. Longevity on my skin is between 6 to 7 hours with the fragrance becoming a skin scent after about 3+ hours. Due to the slight pungent undertones of the dry down, I would not consider this FBW, but will definitely continue to wear my decant. I have found out that fragrances which I find too complex and unwearable at first do change with time.
