What was meant to be a nose experiment around Dublin, hitting up the high end Dept stores and Boutique stores, ended up a wallet slay fest. As for my experiment, I learned that The only Creed I like is GIT and a bearded powerlifter in a hoodie gets some rather strange looks from these snooty High end Dept stores. Think I'll stick with my usual haunts that look after me and for anything else I'll go online. The one store I never made it to was Handsome Scent. I'll save that for another day.

Scent: ★★★★☆ (4/5) Maison Asrar III Thriller opens with a bold, vibrant character — spicy, slightly gourmand nuances balanced by a warm woodiness. After a week of resting in the bottle, the sharper top notes have rounded into something smoother, and the heart blends with a pleasant creamy nuance that makes it feel sophisticated yet bold. It’s not overly sweet, but it leans rich and inviting with a subtle oriental flair. The overall profile is intriguing without being polarizing — appealing to those who enjoy spicy-sweet blends that aren’t too dense. Longevity: ★★★★☆ (4/5) This one lasted a solid 8 hours on my skin with noticeable presence throughout the day. By hour 6–7 it settles closer to the skin but doesn’t disappear completely — just shifts from projecting to a more intimate warmth. On clothes it lingers noticeably even after the skin has softened, which is a good sign if you like prints that stick around. Sillage: ★★★★☆ (4/5) Initial projection is moderate to strong, especially in the first 2–3 hours — people around you can catch whiffs without it being overpowering. After that, it transitions to a moderate sillage, staying noticeable in close proximity but not turning heads down the hallway. It strikes a comfortable middle ground: present, noticeable, but not disruptive. Overall Maison Asrar III Thriller delivers a rich, well-blended scent with impressive performance. It’s versatile enough for casual days or evenings out, and the maturation smooths out rougher edges to make it more refined without losing personality.
