Just a friendly reminder that today is an election day for those of us in the United States. I don't care who you vote for, but now, more than ever, is an incredibly important time in our nation's history to get out there and participate. If you can take the time to vote in the Gourmand Wars and endlessly debate the merits of one vanilla fragrance over another, then you can take the time to participate in the electoral process and have a say in the things that really matter. See you at the polls!

Working through a decant, I decided to wear this for work today. It’s cooler here, but not too cold and hitting a high of 60 so this one seemed like a good choice. Reflection Man is a woody floral musk created by perfumer Lucas Sieuzac. It's clean yet sophisticated, elegant, and polished. Opens as a fresh, aromatic, slightly spicy scent. The heart has white florals that bring brightness, creaminess, and a touch of powder. In the base you have creamy woods, earthy grounding, with a smooth, musky finish. Overall character is fresh soapy, clean laundry, that quickly evolves into rich, balanced white florals with a powdery, slightly sweet edge. The drydown becomes creamy sandalwood that’s expensive smelling without being heavy or gourmand. Performance is solid for a fresh leaning fragrance. Good projection for 2-4 hours, then settles into a strong skin scent that lasts 8-12 hours. Very well-blended, balanced, and thoughtful rather than simplistic. If you like clean, soapy, woody scents it’s outstanding.
