I was given a sample of the New 2026 Wild Vetiver y my salesperson/friend, with the promise that if I liked it I could get one of the first bottles that arrive other store. Yesterday I got the call that I need to make a decision. 😎 I am wearing the sample again today. This is a very interesting scent, It starts off very green and fresh. The dry down goes fairly quickly, and then it sits with a nice citrusy aromatic with a fair 2' scent bubble. Definitely office friendly. Longevity is at least 6hrs in my experience, and the one thing that I not5iced, was this is one of the few scents that after I smoke a cigar in the evening, the scent is still there on the skin, which is not normal when cigar smoking unless there is a stronger formulation. I think I will probably make this a Full Bottle because of this fact as I go into spring and summer and would like something that is Fresh and have good longevity. Hope you all have a great day!!

I've had a really busy week with the start of SXSW and the beginning of wedding season. I meant to post about my Pie Day fragrance (3/14) . For Pie Day, I wore two different scents: 1). During the day, I wore Givenchy Pi. I picked up the decant from @George Hernandez who was kind enough to share it with me after Pi day last year. It's great classic scent with warm, woody, sweet amber notes. It's one of the oldest releases in my collection, and there's a reason that it's still a very popular fragrance. Once my decant runs out, I will probably replace it with a bottle. 2). I had a wedding in the afternoon, but then went out with the couple to photograph them downtown at one of the local hotels (don't worry, it wasn't that kind of shoot - I get paid extra for those). I took the break to apply Imaginary Authors A Little Secret. It's a darker gourmand cherry scent that has a very realistic cherry pie note. In the past, I've layered it with coffee scents to give it that perfect desert at a diner feel that I think IA was going for. This year, I added a little spray of Whiff of Waffle Cone to the mix to give it a cherry pie ala mode feel. It went over really well and may be my new favorite layer combo. But it only works for a few special occasions. I hope everyone else had a great Pie day as well!
