There’s a great deal at Selfridges at the moment, for all UK-based fragrance fans. The Fragrance Edit 2 has 6 travel atomisers of niche perfumes. It contains: 1 - Fragrance du Bois Lucius EDP 7.5ml 2 - Bond no 9 Lafayette EDP 10ml 3 - Escentric Molecule E01 EDP 8.5ml 4 - Birkholtz Portraits of Portafino EDP 10ml 5 - Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman EDP 7.5ml 6 - Mizensir Amber Magique EDP 8ml RRP is £227.50, but actual price is a mere £55. Even better, the original Fragrance Edit, which contains: 1 - Marc-Antoine Barrois Ganymede EDP 10ml 2 - Ex Nihilo The Hedonist EDP 7.5ml 3 - Escentric Molecules Molecule 01+ Champaca EDT 8.5ml 4 - Penhaligons Halfeti EDP 10ml 5 - Memo Paris Odeon EDP 5ml 6 - Maison Crivelli Oud Maracuja Extrait 5ml RRP £192, original price £55, sale price £38. Which is LUDICROUS value. I bought it at £55, nearly bought another today. I own both, and will almost certainly buy The Fragrance Edits 3, 4 and beyond if they bring us such incredible savings with those. https://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/?freeText=fragrance%20edit&srch=Y

Mavro sits in the same general vein as fragrances like Bvlgari Tygar and Sospiro Vibrato, but with its own twist. It has that modern luxury feel, smooth woods, musks, and a refined freshness, but Mavro takes a darker, richer direction with more depth and warmth. What I like most is that it feels expensive without being overly challenging. The woods are smooth, the sweetness is controlled, and there is enough darkness to make it interesting without becoming heavy. It smells polished, masculine, and confident. Performance is very good on my skin. It projects well for the first few hours and lasts all day. While it leans more dressed up than Tygar, it can absolutely be worn casually if you keep the sprays light—around 2 to 3 sprays is plenty. The main difference is that Tygar and Vibrato are brighter, more sparkling, and citrus-driven, while Mavro adds a darker woody-amber character that gives it a more sophisticated and slightly mysterious feel. If I had a criticism, it is not the most groundbreaking fragrance. It works within a familiar luxury fresh-woody style rather than creating something completely new. But it executes that style very well. Rating: 8.5/10 Mavro is like Tygar and Vibrato’s darker cousin. It keeps that upscale fresh luxury DNA but adds richer woods, more depth, and a touch of darkness. It smells smooth, masculine, and expensive without trying too hard. Keep the sprays light and it works casually or dressed up. If you can find it at the right price, it’s definitely worth picking up.

What's up Fragrance Family. I've been on the hunt for a great boozy cherry fragrance. I'm leaning towards Chris Collings Savant Manhattan Cherry. It would be my first from the house and I'm excited to explore this house but I want to remain open to what else is out there. I already own Guerlain's almond cherry, Dua's Cherry Cigarillo and BR Dark Amber and Cherry but I'm really itching for something boozy. Any recommendations? Also this combo of Dark Cherry and Amber with Egyptian Smoke is pretty good. Have a great weekend folks and keep smelling great 👍🏾.
