We had the Fumed Indie Perfume expo in Atlanta this weekend and I picked up a few new ones. The event was a blast and I met some of my online friends for the first time, saw some old friends, met a few perfumers I admire, and just had an all around good time. We had a dinner meetup last night and then did brunch on Sunday to share some scents and do more sampling. Just a really great weekend for frags and friends. The expo really was a great time so I don't want to dwell on this, but it was so crowded it was tough to get to many of the popular houses. Oh well, still had a blast, and missing a few was probably a blessing to my wallet! I picked up... Cult of Kaori Yakushima Mist - Limited to 250 bottles, special drop for the event. Cult of Kaori Apricot Kiseru OSM Foreverness ONE Fougere Also got a sample of the American Perfumer / JSP Black Walnut that will have limited re-release soon.

First official wear of Intense Cedrat Boise and decided to layer with the OG. Leather and oud notes Intense Cedrat Boise were prominent from the go and combined great with citrus, fruity opening of Cedrat Boise. Projection was very good for the first 3 hours and received a couple of compliments. Feel this combo amplifies each fragrances strong suits and masks their deficiencies. Sweetness is complimented by a darker vibe. Performance is very good as the sillage was good into hour 9. Even 12 hours after the initial application this is still giving me nice whiffs in the air. Either fragrance alone is good, combined they are great IMO. Rating: Cedrat Boise 9.5/10 Intense Cedrat Boise 9.25/10 Intense Cedrat Boise + Cedrat Boise 10/10 I'm very happy with this combination.
