Got a bunch of samples from my last store visit: - Boss The Scent EDT - Montblanc Explorer (new batch) - Terre d’Hermès EDP Intense - Moncler Pour Homme & Femme (couples duo) - Moncler Sunrise EDP I also tested two fragrances in-store. First was Maison Margiela Up At Dawn. It’s an airy, earthy, musky rose. Very uplifting and clean. Feels properly unisex to me, though for a lot of people it would probably lean feminine. If you like rose, this is a must-try. It smells like walking through a fresh rose garden like it says on the bottle. Then I tried Scandal Elixir. Opening has a really nice cherry note. It feels like JPGs take on Stronger With You Powerfully. From a first impression, Absolu is still my favourite flanker. Same core perfumers here, with additional support from Louise Turner, which is interesting given her iconic work on Lost Cherry. I think this one needs a full skin test. It feels like it could evolve quite differently off paper. Definitely one I want to try properly before warmer weather kicks in.

On yesterdays advise by @Paul Bartnicki i layered todays combination, initially the blast of pineapple was dominating but after 20 minutes it settle down to sweet but less vetiver and dustiness due to OUD at base. Really enjoying that combination.
