This is it gents! This one marks the last purchases of 2025. Quite frankly, I feel I'm pretty set, and expect very few adquisitions next year. Have a huge amount of decants to go over, and can no longer see finishing a bottle again, despite my collection being tiny!

This is the only oud-ish along Versace Oud Noir that I have REALLY liked, but while waiting for it, I had been heavily wondering... when would I use it? It's already on the heavier side of my fragrance-preference spectrum, but add the usual warm weather here... don't know. But... it's just so good... I do have a Ralph's Club Elixir on order at Jomashop, when it came out at an awesome price. When I placed the order, ETA was 1-2 weeks. That was almost 2 weeks ago. I'll just wait it out, am in no rush. Jomashop things...

Yesterday was Galatea, so I’m sticking with the Maison Alhambra line today and reaching for Perseus. I know the community has moved a lot of its attention toward Pegasus Exclusif lately, and sometimes the original DNA gets overlooked, but let’s not forget: the OG Pegasus was a PDM best-seller for a reason! Perseus does a fantastic job of capturing that metallic, creamy, almond-heavy profile. It’s clean, it’s professional, and it has that unique "silver" vibe that stands out in a sea of blue fragrances. My Take: That signature bitter almond and vanilla combo is dialed in perfectly here. While I really like the Exclusif flanker for its added depth and woodiness, there is still something so smooth and addicting about this original DNA. It’s a classic for a reason. For the price Maison Alhambra is asking, the performance on this is hard to argue with. How do you guys feel about the Pegasus DNA in 2025? Are you still rocking the OG/Perseus, or have you moved completely over to the Exclusif side of things?
