Right now in southeastern Pennsylvania we have been dealing with some pretty frigid temperatures. Pretty much with highs at or hovering around the 20’s for over a week with lows in the negatives and its not predicted to ease for another week or two. I know this is nothing for my brothers in Chicago and Canada but for us here; it sucks! So in an effort to dream about warmer weather I started thinking of which fragrance I will bust out that reflects the newness of Spring. Yes I know its only January but… That being said, what style of fragrance would you be most inclined to wear as a signal to yourself and the world that its time to put away the heavy spicy vanilla scents and you are in warm weather mode. Please comment with a specific fragrance that corresponds with the category you voted for down below. Have a great day as I go and try and burn a chair for warmth.

I hope at this point the brothers are aware of the blue beast. The frag that really blew up Amouage in the west in 2012. This is now my second bottle of it. And absolutely a staple in my wardrobe for 3 1/2 seasons. Warm and smokey. Resinous, incense, woods and leather. Yes it has a Catholic church vibe to it and I love that. For myself I could not imagine not having this one. I will admit though the new formulation of this from my OG from 2012 isn’t quite as powerful as it was sadly. I went from needing two sprays for all day and into the night to 4 sprays for 7-8 hours. I do find that irritating. I find the parfumo rating of 7.8/10 obscenely low though. The old formula was a solid 9.5/10 for me. This version I give 8.7/10 due to the decrease in performance and increase in price point. Definitely a frag I personally feel anyone new to frags should try. It opens doors to your mind of what frags should be if all you have smelled is YSL or Dior etc. what say you brothers?
