It’s warming up today, so I’m reaching for this new beauty! I have a feeling I’ll be wearing this a lot in the summer. Performance isn’t as good at the EDP, but I find this much less cloying. It still packs a punch in projection and longevity though. I get noticeable projection for about 4 hours and I get around 8-9 hours longevity. If you like the Y lineup, give it a try. It may be redundant to a few others though.

Good morning, Fragrance Family, and happy Friday. Today marks the first day of spring, and Chicago is blessing us with temperatures in the 60s. Definitely unseasonably warm for this time of year, but I am going to enjoy every bit of it. I am also looking forward to some fun with my grandsons this weekend when they come in from out of town. My scent of the day is what I like to call Santal Austral Overdose. I layered both the EDP and Extrait formulations from Matiere Premiere, and this has officially taken the crown as my favorite sandalwood fragrance of all time. It is woody, slightly floral, and gently sweet, with a sandalwood accord that gives the fragrance such a deep, smooth, luxurious flow. Layering the EDP and Extrait takes it to another level. It adds more projection and creates an impenetrable sillage bubble that lasts for hours. This fragrance is absolutely ironclad. 10.00 Have a fantastic Friday and enjoy the day, fam.

Hey good people, very chilly morning today in Canada. I decided to give this interesting fragrance a wear. Honestly, when I first bought it, it wasn’t my thing. I love Argos, but this one gave me a cough syrup vibe, and I wasn’t sure if I would ever appreciate it. It has grown on me… today, I finally understood the fragrance, and I’m happy that I kept it! Triumph of Bacchus is rich, boozy, peachy tobacco goodness. That opening can definitely come off a bit medicinal at first (I know I’m not the only one 😅), but once it settles, it turns into this smooth, warm, slightly seductive vanilla-tobacco blend. Not a dumb reach, this is a “I chose this on purpose” scent. Perfect for colder days like today, great for evenings and date nights, with solid performance without being nuclear. This thing will get compliments! To me, it sits somewhere between Herod and Naxos, but with that boozy twist that gives it personality. Not the most groundbreaking DNA, but it’s blended so well that it just works. Easy to enjoy once it clicks, and clearly… it finally did for me. Cheers BOS, I’m getting ready to grab a beer!🍻
