I said what I said. It is 114 degrees today with 80% humidity, and not a cloud in sight. The AC in the studio gave out this morning before one of the biggest shoots we've had all year, and even with a portable AC unit and enough fans to fly us to Europe, it climbed over 90 degrees in there today. I wore Givenchy Gentlemen Only thinking because I would be indoors, but it might get warm, that I would be good, and I'm glad I did. It stayed fresh and clean without being overbearing, and did a great job being a supporting player. Even as i sweat, I still smelled good. It was the last little bit from my 10mL decant, but I have a 100mL bottle on the shelf that I'll start using now. I feel like we are now battle brothers. It has earned it's permanent spot on my shelf. And seriously, if anyone wants to move here, don't. Go live in Wyoming or Colorado or Vancouver. We get like 30 days a year that absolutely perfect, and then the rest of the year we either boil or freeze. I swear to god I'm medium rare. Going to take a share and go to bed early.

Being an Irish brand, I was really hoping this would be good. Although they have been around a while, it's relatively new for me. I picked up a bunch of bottles earlier this year, their Luxurious Leather was a descent effort. https://www.skool.com/bos/sotdluxurious-leather-by-regency-fragrances-07062026?p=7a049c7a Sadly their attempt at my beloved Fahrenheit was piss poor. Having recently learned from @Lon Chaneyfield about how many of these dupe houses operate. The fact that they have no perfumer listed, suggests they are buying in fragrance oils from one of the big suppliers, they they blend with alcohol and bottle. Whilst their is a hint of Fahrenheit here, it's seriously weakened, by either a low grade oil, or the concentration has been watered down, or perhaps even both? Whilst they only list three notes. Sicilian Mandarin, Leather Accord and Bourban Vanilla. I'm thinking they are aiming for the parfum version. There is a touch of violet in the mix but it's all rather faint.This is a stripped-back take on the Fahrenheit DNA, but it lacks. After showering, I added a base layer of yesterday's Friday Night Leather, which helped boost the overall effect. Honestly, this was a massive disappointment. €12 for a 50 ml ain't a huge loss, but It's one I won't make again. Without layering you get a watered down cologne strength juice. Will last an hour at best then it's gone. I'd rather save and get the real deal with this one, it is budget friendly, but the trade off just ain't worth it in my opinion Rating: 1/10 Scent: ,5/5 Longevity: .5/5 Sillage: 0/5 Would I rebuy? 0/5
