Good morning frag fam. Today is day 4 of my self imposed ATH overload. Also wanted to say Let’s Go Duke!!! Glad to see them win the ACC yesterday. So Hombre is an interesting frag and was an instant win imho as a blind buy. Really my entire ATH collection is a blind buy since where can you actually test them unless you know someone? Woody, mild citrus, Vetiver and clary sage. For me what comes to mind at the opening is Champagne. Dry and effervescent (Thank you thesaurus. lol), this is a huge win for me. Absolutely office safe. 4 season wearable in my mind. Nick I know you hate clary sage and It makes me sad this isn’t in your wheel house. But always a huge thank you for bringing this back for me. Always grateful. Performance you ask? Fantastic. No it’s not beast mode nor would I want this to be. Sillage bubble is always present and about 2-3 feet that follows you. Projection is solid but not offensive. For me, this is as close to perfection in modern parfumerie as you can get. It gets a 9.9/10 for me. I can’t give it a 10 as I’ve recently changed my thought process slightly reserving that for all but a few frags both current and discontinued. What say you? Tried it? Hated it? Loved it? Meh?

My anosmia is starting to loosen up and I'm regaining my ability to perceive fragrances in the air around me, so I wore this now-familiar winner from Happyland Studios. It is warm, moderately sweet with some iris and woods. Sillage is moderate for the first hour, and elicited a compliment from my coworker first thing in the morning. I was still getting whiffs at hr 6, which is excellent performance for sprays on bare arms in the office. Prices for this house are excellent, and this is one that I consider FBW. https://www.skool.com/bos/sotd-happyland-zzyzx-rd?p=79a0b224
