It's not getting above freezing today. Seems like a good time to discuss warmer weather. I feel pretty good about my collection for when it warms up, but I feel that something is missing. I'll say up front that I'm not crazy about highly green scents or fougeres in general, although there are a few exceptions. The DNA my collection has includes Aventus, Renaissance, Costa Azzurra, VIW, Venetian Blue Intense, Eros Energy, Percival, Y and Profondo. Any suggestions on what I should be looking for?

Saw the ladies from Particle reminding me of the challenges faced to be a gentleman and I checked off I open doors, pick up the check, save myself for marriage (well two out of three ain’t bad!). And most importantly I smell like one to get their attention. Have a good Sunday afternoon.

I was hunting for a decant of Monkey Special. Found what is labeled as a 15ml travel spray from Aura. Never ordered from them. Not worried about authenticity but wondering if it’s a brand sample, or if they do their own decants? Cheapest price I’ve seen other than this is $30 for 5ml from DecantX. So $40 for 15ml seems much better. Thoughts? https://www.aurafragrance.com/products/tony-iommi-monkey-special-xerjoff-unisex-edp-1
