Today I’m wearing Hombre by Aaron Terence Hughes. This was a blind buy based on a recommendation from @Steve Louis and his review, and honestly, no regrets at all. This fragrance is awesome. The note list says citrus on top, but on my skin it jumps straight into the clary sage. I’m getting that aromatic herbal opening right away with a bit of vetiver already coming through. If there’s any citrus, it’s gone in seconds. This thing goes immediately into that smooth aromatic territory. I went full spray today — wrists, elbows, sides, and behind the ears — and what I love is that Ombre doesn’t shout, but it absolutely has presence. It sits confidently without needing to be loud, which I’m starting to appreciate more and more. I might actually be turning into a huge fan of ATH as a house.

Fresh ocean air with a hint of green fig and smooth woods in the drydown. Clean, coastal, and effortless. Perfect daytime scent that feels both refreshing and grounded. My Gym fragrance of choice today.
