After yesterday's disappointing Feather Supreme, today was the turn of Feel N Chill. It's an aquatic fresh scent with a bunch of fruit at the top and a musky green at the bottom. I have a love / hate relationship with aquatic scents. Conceptually? Two thumbs up from this guy. I am enamoured by all things wet. I embrace the rain, I'm never dehydrated, and the only cardio excercise I can stomach is swimming. My mantra is moist, and liquid is my life. Sadly, the feeling is not reciprocated, in the fragrance department. Feel N Chill opens with a pleasant fruit burst, with a watermelon core that's complemented by a herbal bergamot tang. Cardamom adds intrigue, and for a while, all is gangbusters. It's bright, it's fresh, itr's spicy, and it's aquatic. Then, without rhyme or reason, all the nuance just... disappears. It's my skin's fault, I'm sure of it. It has a deep and abiding hatred for anything aquatic. Try as I might, every overzealous slather simply fades to in idistinct smear before an hour is up. And even though it's the water in the watermelon which informs this aquatic scent, there's no real difference. The top fades away all too quickly, leaving a skin scent with traces of the mid. Of the listed notes at this juncture, it's the pine needle that has the most impact, as that does apply itself to the the rest of the smell's lifespan. As for the fig... it's there, but it's hardly Philosykos. When we hit the drydown, there's a little more success on the report card. Musk, vetiver, amber, all pretty standard and uninspiring, but when it's tempered with the fading pine needle it accentuates the vetiver green and brings a little excitement. It's a pleasant dry, but it's quite close, and at times it's a struggle to hold onto the profile as it fades into the background a little too readily. For me, it's another NO on the Is It Bottle Worthy scale. Shame, really, as there are aspects to enjoy... but I can't get past the gaping void that my skin impresses onto the profile. If you're a fan of aquatics, and they love you back, give this one a whirl.

So, I was wondering about how many of you use a particular fragrance or fragrances to either wear to bed or spray your sheets and pillows with. Now that it's getting warmer, I like a clean, woody, ( not citrus) scent to go to sleep with. Depending on how tired I am, I'll either use sculpture homme by Nikos if I'm really beat and know that I'll just knock out. If I'm not so tired, I'll spray Montale's Wood and Spices. Very similar profile, but lasts like Montale frags di, so when I wake up in the middle of the night, that lingering scent calms me and helps me sleep again. Alao, Versace's the dreamer is also in this space. Just FYI. When it's colder outside ,I tend to gravitate towards Laura's Khamrah and Qahwhasine they're warm, enveloping and affordable. Every now and then I'll spray something niche, but I try to save those for being out and social. I'd really like to know how many of you do this and what your favorite scents are for this! All recommendations are appreciated!! Cheers all
