Fresh, citrusy (bergamot, orange, lemon), spicy (ginger), floral (rose, jasmine, lavender), herbacious, aromatic opening The oud slowly creeps which is very pleasant, prominent and potent but not too skanky, slightly animalic with subtle barnyard nuance that is not challenging at all The Citruses balance this out The rose is also not overpowering but it refined and adds dimension Great projection and sillage Citrus-Floral-Oud blend Good for the office with 1-2 sprays and best for formal evenings and nights out Best for Fall and Winter Typical Xerjoff bottle, brown tinted; unique antique style metal bronze cap; good atomizer Resinous, earthy (vetiver, patchouli), still floral, oudy (Laotian oud), woody, musky, bit ambery on dry down Great longevity Very prominent for 3-4 hours and stays as a skin scent for 4-5 more hours Great overall performance I would highly recommend Xerjoff Tempest ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is not blind buy safe.. easy with the sprays..

Today I’d like to give a shout out to @Nestor Lopez for sharing this decant of Guapo with me. I appreciate it Nestor. Now this fragrance caught me off guard because for some reason I thought this was one of the darker wintry offerings and it is not. Guapo is a musky, fresh spicy fragrance off of my skin which I think would shine in the spring and summer evenings. The ambroxan, white musk, vetiver and ambergris seem to be the stars of this fragrance. So far I’m not getting any tonka or apple. I’ll update this if any significant swings occur. So far I’m enjoying it but it definitely reminds me of something else. Not quite Sauvagish maybe more A&F fierce for men if there was such a thing.

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.
