Our brother @Mike Jermann posted a great question yesterday. Please read his thread prior to reading the rest and I hope it makes more sense that way??? https://www.skool.com/bos/looking-for-unique-summer-scents?p=bd23711e I as I usually do, kind of went into the weeds with my answer and thinking better then to hijack the thread asked him if he would not mind me making a new post to answer his question. Very grateful Mike that you let me use you as an example to what I was thinking. Most people simply posted responses of certain frags but I couldn’t help but think deeper into it. So here it is. This is a fantastic yet complicated question for me Mike. First I’m going to say that for me personally I like to kind of push western style “norms” for seasonal applications. Mostly because I’ve lived all over the world and found frag application and significance can and does vary tremendously. And again it’s a game I like to play because I’m half squirrel. That said: What exactly in a summer scent profile are you looking for by notes? Do you want fresh citrus heavy? Aquatic? Resinous? Maybe even Oud forward? Sweet? Also what’s your situation? Indoors mainly? More outdoors? Formal or casual? Sorry but I think about these all the time. What say you all?

In my current role, I've kind of become the local "fixer" in my area, due to decades of networking. I am retiring in a few months from my government position, but have been putting off what I have wanted to do for so long, and that is open my consulting firm. I have even designed my advertisement, but for some reason, will not go live. I never charge to fix issues for people, but it's time to let my family reap the benefits. As I have said in a prior post: it's strange how the human mind works. That is my cell & email that I created, but haven't put this out to the public. Keep it in the circle please brothers. Sometimes we are our own worst obstacle.

Went for a soul clenseing field trip today for food frags guns and fun with my brother from another mother. Honestly I had zero intention of buying anything and only wanted to get my nose on some frags that I haven’t smelled before. We all know you can only smell so many frags at onetime before it becomes folly due to burning the nose out. Well after joking around and talking with the guys there one of them walked away for a minute and without telling me what it was said smell this and tell me what you think. Now we had played this game a couple of times already and some I liked and others I was meh. None had been FBW in my mind. Well right at rip I said oh hell no. What is this? Sweet saffron??? Holy cow what the hell is this??? Now anyone that knows me on here will not be shocked when I say there are three notes in frags I gravitate towards. Real Oud, Vetiver and Saffron. Love them when done correctly and hate them when they aren’t. I’m not shy about saying my thoughts on houses and frags. Well I asked about this and was told what it was and also found this is a new first release from them as a frag house and a limited release from 2 weeks ago. It’s not often I’m surprised or blown away by a frag any more but today was the day. Looking online I’m not finding any info except a few promo vids for the social media pages. As my usual with a new frag I can’t/wont give a review until I have done my due diligence and gotten at least a few good wearing of this. What I will say is this has brightness, sweetness and spice. I decided I had to wear this tonight so into the shower I went to start with a clean slate. The only place I could find the notes is on the box. Nothing online so here is the back box pic for you all with notes listed. Do the notes resonate with any of you? “Cough”@Edward Mooney I may have an obscure saffron for you brother!!! 😂
