BOS Story Poll Series Question 1
I'm creating a new story poll graphic, at least once a day, to poll the inner circle. This is a level 8 project that I will use to continue to gain infomation and data on my journey to level 9. At the end of the series, I will compile the data to report the overall opinion of the brotherhood on the story poll series. Please take part each time you see one of these, as I am considering this a personal study to earn respect and confidence as a fragrance enthusiast here in the brotherhood. I can only learn and grow with your help brothers. Thanks for taking part as I will try to make this interesting for everyone to review as I make my way to the elusive level 9. @Antonio Centeno

Burnt Sugar & Silence
Wore my sample of Baccarat Rouge 540 for the second time today because I wanted to make sure my first impression wasn’t a fluke. Going in, I was hoping for something specific. On paper this should have been beautiful with jasmine (Grandiflorum and Egyptian), saffron, a little cedar grounding it out, then that musky base settling into skin. I expected florals up front, spice weaving through, a controlled sweetness, and then a warm, masculine dry down. That’s not what happened on me. What I got almost immediately was the burnt sugar/caramel, very prominent, paired with a mineral, saltiness. And yes… I understand now why some people say “dentist’s office.” There’s a sterile, almost clinical shimmer underneath the sweetness. The florals never really bloomed. If they’re there, they’re buried under the toasted sugar and that mineral cloud. Then the strangest part was that I went nose blind to it fairly quickly. I’d catch faint flashes if I moved, but for the most part it disappeared to my own nose while possibly still projecting, but I received no compliments, nor was I asked if I had just come out of the dentist's office. I understand why it’s polarizing. It’s intense, sort of synthetic, and engineered to radiate. But for me? I was hoping for floral warmth wrapped in spice on soft wood. What I experienced was sweet-mineral abstraction. On my skin, the myth and the reality didn’t quite align.

SOTD: Oud Nude by Guerlain
Received this fragrance for valentines day and I simply love it. The opening is a subtle fruitiness which is coming from the Raspberry and a creaminess from the Almond. At 15 minutes the sweetness has settled significantly and I am starting to pick up some of the floral notes. Still getting some of the creaminess from the Almond. At 30 minutes I am getting a creamy Almond scent with some undertones of floral and some sweetness from the Vanilla. During the dry down I am picking up the woody notes but the are very subtle and soft and not overpowering like some Oud notes typ[ically are. This is such a well blended fragrance and it screams elegance. Performance: Projection is fair. This is not a projection beast fragrance by any means. The scent bubble is about 18" for about 90 minutes. The sillage is a little better with the fragrance trailing about 2 feet for about 90 minutes as well. Longevity is a different story. On my skin the fragrance lasts about 6 to 7 hours with it becoming a skin scent after about 3.5 hours. Layering Concept: I layered this with Cuir Beluga by Guerlain and the scent is simply devine.
