Good Monday morning, Brotherhood. I’m off to another busy Monday, but that’s nothing new in my role as a Network Security Manager. Lately, I’ve taken a page from some of the brothers and started using AI—sparingly. As someone who works in technology, I’m well aware of both the incredible potential and the very real pitfalls of this new era. For me, it’s simply another tool when used with intention. Recently, I used it to inventory and classify my fragrance collection according to my own specifications. Then I let it build a 30-day Scent of the Day rotation from my collection. I have to admit, it’s been a blast. It’s pushed me to wear fragrances that hadn’t received nearly enough attention, and I’ve been rediscovering just how good some of them really are. Today’s Scent of the Day is Irish Leather by Memo Paris. It’s often marketed as more of a cold-weather fragrance, but that’s one fragrance rule I’ve never really subscribed to. Yes, it can become a bit heavy if you overspray, but in today’s 80-degree Chicago weather, six sprays has proven to be the sweet spot for me. I’ve reviewed this one before, so I’ll spare you another full breakdown. The O.B.’s already know exactly how I feel about Memo Paris. Make it a great Monday, Brothers, and smell outstanding while you’re doing it.

What fragrance has a permanent place in your collection? Like if you used it up, you would replace it? Or if it was reformulated or discontinued you would buy multiple backup bottles. For me, that would be Tom Ford Black Orchid and Byredo Gypsy Water. What’s yours?
