New 2026 formula. I learned something from wearing this. Pheromones are a real thing. Fragrance actually reacts differently on different skin (didn’t really believe you guys and gal). The Mrs. said not to wear this around her because both her brothers wear it all the time (they smelled feminine in it) and she is tired of smelling it. Worked a double at work so I took it with me and applied multiple times. Came home and she was like “what are you wearing 😳?!?”. I told her and she said “no way…” and I was like, “way…” and she couldn’t stop smelling me. I reapplied it in front of her to prove it and she said it smells different on my skin. Now the review. Simple and to the point. Citrus opening, rosemary mid, and patchouli base. Day/summer/spring with 5-6 hours on skin 7-8 on clothes. Moderate sillage. I sweated a bunch so I would say it is perfect for the heat. (Let me know if you know the difference with older version).

Gave this one a second wear today, and I’m enjoying it, very masculine and well balanced of a fragrance.

So as you know social media tends to hype up the newest dupe fragrances out there, saying it’s the closest “1:1 i’ve ever smelled” and whatnot, and this month’s edition is the indonesian house: Velixir. Now i can’t deny presentation looks spectacular. Attractive designs and packaging, but as we all know the most important is the juice. So asking all of you, if any of you have had the opportunity to try these, what do you think? Is it truly as good as they say it is? Or just another marketing gag and a sham?
