Today I was invited to sing with the worship team in a gratitude special service offered by a special member of the church for her 76 birthday. Then, I planned to assist to an Argos event on a niche fragrances boutique “la lueur” at The Mall of San Juan. https://www.instagram.com/lalueur.pr?igsi=OXF6ZnpxNjZlMndk Therefore, I needed to wear something special for both occasions.

Out for a back to school dinner and gelato with my goddaughters and ended up at Bath & Bodyworks and Marshall’s. While they shopped I took a look in the men’s fragrance cabinet and found a 50mL of Terre d’Hermes EDT on clearance sale for $26!!! It’s on sale at Jomashop for $48 and retails for $120, so score! I’ve nearly used up the 10mL decant I’ve been using the last year, and was planning to put it on my birthday list, so double score! It’s such a classic and a staple for my collection. So happy to pick this up.

Finally got Ex Nihilo Demon Dancer in. This is one I’ve been looking forward to because Demon Dancer is definitely not the typical safe, clean Ex Nihilo release. It goes darker, richer, and more seductive, with that cherry, rose, leather, woods, and patchouli direction. I already own several from Ex Nihilo, including Blue Talisman Extrait, Speed Legends, Speed Legends Night Drive, Scarlett Sands, and The Hedonist Extrait, so I was curious where Demon Dancer would fit within the house. First impression: this has some attitude. Darker and more provocative than what most people probably associate with Ex Nihilo, but it still has that polished luxury feel. I’m going to give this one some real wear before doing a full review. The opening can get your attention, but the drydown and how a fragrance wears over several hours are what matter to me. Demon Dancer has officially entered the collection. Full review coming after I spend some time with it.
