The best plum fragrance I’ve tried thus far. It’s also my favorite in the L’Homme line from Guerlain. Sweet, fruity and nutty with a nice smooth tobacco leather in dry down. Perfect for an overcast day. Performance for me is stellar with 8 hours of total wear time 6 of which have great projection.

Good New Year’s Eve morning, Fragrance Family. We’ve made it to the final day of 2025. It’s a touch warmer here in Chicago compared to the deep freeze we’ve been battling, but it’s still unmistakably cold—the kind of morning that invites reflection, gratitude, and a slow, intentional start. As the year winds down, there’s a quiet energy in the air, a mix of anticipation for what’s ahead and appreciation for everything we’ve navigated, learned, and endured over the past twelve months. Today’s scent of the day is Caden by Oman Luxury, and it feels like a perfect companion for closing out the year. From the opening moments, Caden carries itself with confidence and presence. The sillage and projection are immediately noticeable—never abrasive, but strong enough to leave a refined trail that announces sophistication. As it develops, the fragrance really finds its voice in the heart. The boozy suede undertones take center stage, rich and textured, adding depth and warmth that feel especially comforting in cold weather. There’s a smoothness here that keeps everything balanced, with the suede lending elegance while the boozy nuances add character and intrigue. Longevity is excellent, easily carrying you from morning reflection through evening celebration without fading into the background. Caden feels bold yet composed, luxurious without trying too hard, and perfectly suited for a day that marks both an ending and a beginning. It’s a fragrance that feels intentional, memorable, and worthy of a milestone moment like New Year’s Eve. This one earns a strong 9.0 rating for its performance, character, and standout mid that truly shines. Wishing everyone a peaceful close to 2025 and a beautifully scented step into the new year ahead.
