@The Rain Society has made it ton level 8. Congratulations my friend, well deserved. You’re one of us!

Today I'm wearing BURNING BARBERSHOP from the House of D.S.DURGA. An EDP. Released in 2008. The nose behind This fragrance are Kavi Moltz and David Seth Moltz. It opens with notice spearmint and lime notes, in the middle tuberose, lavander and lighty Rose touch notes and finished with hay and vanilla notes. Masculine classic barbershop fragrance for all days and all ocations a safe Office fragrance for all year long. Enjoyable CLEAN and Fresh drydown. Projection 4-5hrs Sillage 1mt Stay on skin 7-9hrs.

I have been eyeing The Spirit of Dubai for some time, but the price point always gave me pause. Blind buying a full bottle felt too risky, and even their sample sets run around $140, making the house feel slightly out of reach. Fortunately, I found a deal at Scent Angel. They were running a sale on testers for $100, and an additional 10% discount brought a 50ml bottle of Ajyal down to just $90. The only drawback was the lack of a cap, but considering a bottle with the cap was an extra $95, I can definitely live without it! Describing this fragrance is extremely difficult. After wearing it back-to-back for two days, I’m still trying to figure it out—it’s like wearing multiple fragrances in one. In the opening, I get a vibe similar to Xerjoff’s Erba Pura but with a distinct hit of mango. Interestingly, the official notes don't even list mango, but that tropical fruitiness is definitely there. This part projects heavily for about three hours before it starts to shift. It transforms into an awesome floral aroma that feels very green and fresh, definitely staying away from being overly feminine. It eventually ends with a great musky, patchouli, and woody dry down. Overall, it’s a fantastic summer fragrance with elite longevity, lasting 10+ hours on skin and over 24 hours on clothes. If you can live without the beautiful, fancy cap, a tester is the way to go.
