This was a very special week as I was able to spend the week with my wife, kids, and grandkids at Disney for a few days, while we also celebrated my son's birthday and my wedding anniversary. A few days at EPCOT and some gifts from my family made this haul special. - Bvlgari Le Gemme Tygar - Guerlain Herbes Troublantes - Acqua di Parma Arancia di Capri Le Riserva - Penhaligon's Legacy of Petra - Penhaligon's The World According to Arthur - Penhaligon's The Omniscient Mr. Thompson - Bond No 9 Tribeca - Creed Virgin Island Water - Guerlain Allegra Magnifying Neroli Essence Special Thank You to @Dave Anderson and @Jamal Moore

My wife is having a major birthday this week and the celebrations start tonight. Dinner with friends, nice restaurant, yada yada. Tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday the celebrations continue.😑 I gave her five fragrances to chose from for tonight and she picked Layton. Fine... Happy wife, happy life.😑 If there is ever a frag from a niche house that's a crowd-pleaser, Layton is it. I mean just LOOK at that rating on fragrantica from nearly 16,000 votes! It's nice... An absolute crowd-pleaser that DOES smell high-end. The blend of apple, citrus, florals, vanilla, and warm spices (like cardamom) is smooth, slightly sweet, and sophisticated. The dry-down has a nice blend of vanilla and cardamom spice, anchored by deep, smooth woods. It'll work tonight. 8.75 / 10.0
