Once a collection reaches a certain point, let’s say over 100 bottles, when the time comes that a bottle gets polished off it’s very much a satisfying sensation and almost a celebratory event,lol 😂. Two excellent frags that have served me well these last couple years, and money well spent. Enjoy the evening frag fam.

They broke the mold with the original LB, an almost perfect clone of my favourite PDM Althair. So I guess it's no supriss that in 2026 fragrance World would try and cash in on this remarkable success like all the designer houses do with their various flankers. So I guess the million dollar question to ask? Is it any good? It's claimed to be a structural overhaul, with a change from parfum to extrait territory and It comes in a larger 150ml bottle. Straight off the bat, I'm still getting that gorgeous LB vibe, perhaps not as gormand as the og. That sugary sweetness has been toned down a touch, but you won't mistake it for something else that's for sure. It opens with Cardamon, a zesty citrus & lavender. The Limited Edition replaces the spice rack vibe of the OG with a crisp, aromatic lavender and fresh citrus, making it feel more refined and less like a dessert. At the core, Orange Blossom, Rose, Guaiac Wood. The heart is floral yet smoky. The addition of Rose adds a jammy richness, while Guaiac Wood adds a dark, woody backbone. The base contains, ​Bourbon Vanilla, Amber, Tonka Bean & Oakmoss. Giving a dense & resinous dry down. The Oakmoss is the standout change here, giving the vanilla a grounded, slightly earthy finish. As an extrait it performs quite well, I'm still catching glimpses after a full 10hr day. Go easy on the trigger 2 to 4 sprays are enough to fill a room for the first 4 hrs. After which it forms a dense scent bubble to carry you through the day. This is still a flanker, but a bamn good one, it smell identical initially, but give it time on your skin to appreciate the differences, it's a smotter more refined fragrance, leans more niche than budget clone for me. Whilst the OG was for lovers of pure, sweet gourmands and heavy cinnamon. The LE is for power users who want more complexity. If you want a nuclear-performing winter fragrance that smells expensive and lasts all day, this is worth a try

Hawas tropical opens up with a sweet coconut juice with mint along it. The coconut isn’t a sunscreen type like Creed VIW amd the mint isn’t like xerjoff renaissance but rather a sweet, playful, green fruit scent thats smoother than I expected and not really harsh. In the dry down you get a woody base with a little musky cleanest to it. Longevity on my skin last a long time as well as the performance. ( my friend said it was strong an hour after I sprayed) FBW?? Tech yes but with the designer price tag it’s debatable.
