Scent of evening for me needed to be uplifting and decadent. My eyes instantly went to this one. It checks off all the boxes. While I still consider myself learning this profile after about 4-5 solid wearings I feel confident in my assessment of it at this point and wanted to delve deeper into it. It’s absolutely not your grandmothers rose based frag gentleman!!!!!! Created in 2024 and still readily available. Spicy-floral and absolutely rose forward this opens as a powerhouse. While I like the EDP, I had to go Extrait as FBW for my needs and wants. Resinous and spice give balance to the beast that sings ROSE from the mountain tops bringing balance and harmony that I really have never found in a rose composition. Yes things like my Amouage Taif Rose Attar(sadly discontinued long ago but happily I still have), is also amazing although it’s a different animal entirely to an Extrait. Therefore I don’t feel it fair to compare them together. Also they are completely different in profile. So let’s breakdown the frag. 2-3 sprays is absolutely plenty and anymore may choke yourself out much less any company with you. Sillage is amazing and the bubble is easily 6-10 feet. Have you ever seen someone roll around in those huge inflatable balls where people run into each other? This is like that. Projection you ask? Oh god this isn’t for someone trying to by inconspicuous at all. Filling an entire room and could very well precede you into a room with the right wind current. 😂 Longevity???? On skin easily 7-10 hours on skin. Clothing may take a second washing to dissipate. I’ve yet to meet anyone that didn’t love this frag and have received numerous compliments on it both men and woman. Absolutely able to be worn as a year round frag. The only knock on this is the price. At around $300 USD per 100ml that may seem steep at first but I ask you to consider how long a frag will last that you only need 1-3 sprays to fill the room??? How long does a cheaper price and quality frag last where people routinely spray 6-12 sprays and have to reapply??? So did you actually save money on the cheaper and less quality frag???? I vote no every time. My theory is if it doesn’t last or needs so many sprays it could be an edt or body spray it’s not worth my time.

So sitting at home doing some training online today so thought I would teat out some samples. Musc X from Borntostandout left arm Passionfroudh from Fugazzi right arm I will start with Passionfroudh. This is a really good fruity oud scent. It kind of reminds me of oud maracuja but not quite, I think its different fruits. Its a fun unisex scent that sort of fits in any season. Its strong without being overwhelming. I am almost picking up a slight leathery base on my skin. Not an evening scent but more like an everyday scent. I think I will get a full bottle of this eventually. BTSO Musc X let me preface this by saying they gave me a dabber and i transferred it to a small sprayer that works crappy. That being said i can only really comment on the smell. This is a unique musky scent. Not for the faint of heart. With frankincense and cotton candy, I had no idea what to expect. This is a musky scent for sure that i think is probably more a skin scent. This is for intimate times and not meant to create a large scent bubble or to share with many others. It is weird to me without being off putting. It has a sweetness that helps make it even more alluring. This might not be for everyone and it doesn't really smell like a cologne, more like a very unique skin, but I really enjoy it and can’t stop spraying it and smelling it. Definitely going to pick this one up as well. Well i will stop with word salad over here and tell you to as usual stay smelling good my brothers.
