Back to the usual. I’ll probably repurchase a 200ml in may when i should get over. And thanks to the weather getting warmer my sense of smell and skin condition is getting stronger.

Without a doubt this gotta be the best bang for your buck winter fragrance in the Amraf line up. It's certainly the only Odyssey flanker that Took my fancy, & I've had my nose on most of them. Hate to throw it into the clone pile but imagine this? Tom Ford's Noir Extreme went on a night out & did some horizontal DNA swapping with that good looking bottle of La Nuit de L'Homme. This would be the result of that thrist. The scent profile is a journey from a dense, sweet opening to a creamy, woody dry-down. With top notes of Ambergris & Vanilla, you get a rich, warm, slightly salty sweetness. It hits the nose with a thick airiness rather than a sharp citrus burst. At its core Iris, Oriental Notes & Spices This is the soul of the fragrance. The iris adds a powdery, lipstick like elegance, similar to Dior Homme. Whilst the spices mimic a warm chai latte. As it settles into the drydown with more Vanilla, Leather & Jasmine. The leather adds a masculine edge to the base, while the vanilla rounds everything out into a smooth & creamy finish. This performers reasonably well, with 6hrs on my skin, I'm not complaining.On clothes, the vanilla and amber base notes can linger for days. It projects well for the first 1.5 to 2 hours. It creates a noticeable scent bubble without being too cloy or overbearing, making it ideal for date nights or formal evening events. Strictly for Autumn or Winter use. If you love the warm, spicy, and powdery DNA of high end designer scents but don't want to drop €€€ Odyssey Black is a top-tier alternative. It smells more expensive than it is.

I know this is a small house that nobody but me seems to talk about, but god I love them. I mean, how can you not love a brand that puts an interpretive dance of their newest fragrance (Monkeyflower) on their main page: https://www.storaskuggan.com This is a brand that likes to have fun with itself while producing some absolutely phenomenal fragrances. The story behind this is that a "Mistpouffer" is an unexplained sound, like a sonic boom, that comes out of the fog or under mysterious circumstances. Skuggan references the Japanese Uminari and the Native American Machimoodus as examples. No well-defined source for the origin of the noises has been identified, though many think it's the earth settling or the release of gases from deep below the seas. Mistpouffer is Skuggan's attempt to capture the phenomenon as a fragrance that balances aquatic, smoky, and earthy notes to create a harmonious blend of natural and supernatural elements. I think that they largely succeed. Skuggan's fragrances tell a story from beginning to end. They often start off quietly and almost imperceptibly, and build into a crescendo throughout the day until they finally taper off hours later. My sample from LuckyScent was only 0.7mL, which was really enough for only 1 wearing. It's too bad, because I would have liked to have given this a few more wears. Scent Profile: 9.5. I love this. It's a citrus-floral note of bergamot and immortelle in the opening. As that gives way, it becomes more interesting and airy with fig leaf, pine, and an ozonic note that starts quiet and then builds to a loud crescendo that fills the room and becomes almost overwhelming. Then that gives way to a sweeter, earthier vetiver and aquatic accord. You get the whole story, and each phase is distinctive and unique, and each section has its own feel. It's like wearing three different fragrances at three different times of the day. I'm taking off a 1/2 point because this isn't something you can wear very often. It's a piece of art, and a statement. It's like going to the Museum of Modern Art on your birthday with a bunch of snobby art and theater friends. You might have a good time, but everyone else is going to think you're insufferable.
