Going with Narcisso Rodriguez Bleu noir EDP. Great combination of a clean profile with a prominent powdery iris note off the top. Decent performance for me as the weather is warming up.

Hey good people, very chilly morning today in Canada. I decided to give this interesting fragrance a wear. Honestly, when I first bought it, it wasn’t my thing. I love Argos, but this one gave me a cough syrup vibe, and I wasn’t sure if I would ever appreciate it. It has grown on me… today, I finally understood the fragrance, and I’m happy that I kept it! Triumph of Bacchus is rich, boozy, peachy tobacco goodness. That opening can definitely come off a bit medicinal at first (I know I’m not the only one 😅), but once it settles, it turns into this smooth, warm, slightly seductive vanilla-tobacco blend. Not a dumb reach, this is a “I chose this on purpose” scent. Perfect for colder days like today, great for evenings and date nights, with solid performance without being nuclear. This thing will get compliments! To me, it sits somewhere between Herod and Naxos, but with that boozy twist that gives it personality. Not the most groundbreaking DNA, but it’s blended so well that it just works. Easy to enjoy once it clicks, and clearly… it finally did for me. Cheers BOS, I’m getting ready to grab a beer!🍻

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen: As many of you know; my grandson who is 14 years old, came to me and tells me that that he wanted to be like me and dress like me, wear cologne like me. His reasoning is that he sees how people notice and respect me wherever we go. (Yes, I'm having a proud moment), The one thing that I did, was to teach him the way I was raised; if you can smell yourself then others can smell you, now this can be in a good way or a bad way. Either way the point was personal hygiene is crucial to oneself. My grandfather raised us men in the family that you always wear some type of cologne; at the time the cheap thing was Brute 33 and Old Spice. Now, I am not going to spend hundreds of dollars on cologne for a 14-year-old boy unless he is on stage with his four brothers (the Jacksons Five, the older generation). But I wanted to teach him the same values I was raised with, so I buy the generic versions that I found of name brand colognes so he can learn and also build confidence in himself. I had to attend a parent teacher conference at his school, and I had never been in the school before nor have I met any of his teachers or the office staff, ( let me paint picture; I'm black and he is white) ( paint, lol sorry, I digress) but when I walked in everyone knew who I was and who my grandson was. In speaking to his teachers, all of them had one thing in common, they all complimented on how nice my grandson smelled every day and how they loved that he wore different fragrances all the time. Some teachers actually said, they have him sit next to them because he smells great all the time, (little creepy but I get it), some say they have him by the door, because unfortunately some kids do not have proper hygiene and the tend to bring that odor in the classroom with them so when other teachers and adults walk in they smell my grandson first, (again creepy but I get it). I personally get compliments all the time on my colognes and yes, even some made the comments" I am so glad you are here because someone has bad body odor." I have been to conferences where people have asked me to sit at their table because they had someone there that did not have a favorable odor on them.
