Wanted to share my Christmas fragrance haul. It’s a solid lineup with a mix of bold statements, everyday go-tos, and a couple of cozy gems. Center (ornate bottle): Arabesque by The Merchant of Venice This one’s rich and intimate, opening with spicy ginger and tobacco leaves wrapped in a touch of sweet plum. As it warms up, cinnamon and cedarwood add depth, and it all settles into a smooth blend of vetiver and musk. Elegant but with a bold, aromatic edge. Notes: ginger, tobacco leaves, plum, cinnamon, cedarwood, vetiver, musk Lower left (blue bottle): Venetian Blue by The Merchant of Venice It has that modern blue scent vibe with a fresh citrus punch, a bit of spice, and a smoky, mossy base. Apple and pineapple give it a juicy lift while patchouli, birch, ambergris, and musk keep it grounded. Clean, energetic, and easy to wear. Notes: bergamot, lemon, pink peppercorns, apple, pineapple, patchouli, birch, ambergris, musk Right (black bottle): Irish Leather by Memo Paris Earthy and green with a leathery core, this one brings a rugged, outdoorsy energy. Juniper and mate give it a sharp, clean twist. Masculine and full of character. Top left (small bottle): Italiano by DUA A cozy sweet-leather scent with that unmistakable Italian gourmand style. It’s smooth and comforting but still feels polished and modern. Top right (small bottle): Valiant Soul by DUA Warm, woody, and ambery with a refined feel. It’s approachable but still elevated, great for when you want something easygoing without being too basic. Still have two more on the way.

The stand for my glasses will be arriving tomorrow and will go on the top shelf. I’m currently looking for some lighting. What’s everyone’s thoughts?
