A warm weather beast, GnTonic has a wonderful fizzy effervescence that really radiates in the heat. A beautiful blend of citrus, woods, and musk, it is effortlessly refreshing, timeless, classy, and masculine. Not particularly boozy, which I appreciate. Can be worn both casually and in more formal scenarios. More than worthy of being a signature scent or a daily driver. It is a rather unique fragrance, to my nose and I have never smelled anything else quite like it. It can also last a solid 6-8 hours, which is quite nice for a freshie! On a side note, I have a sample of ATH’s new fragrance Gin Sling on its way that should be here on Saturday. I don’t think they’re supposed to be very similar, but I am looking forward to comparing and contrasting the two scents, nonetheless! Happy Thursday, everybody!

Just added Valentino Green stravaganza. I love the citrus front of the fragrance and then the base of vetiver. I didn’t know I liked vetiver until I sampled this one. There are other notes as well but I’m not great at picking up on all of the subtleties. Basically I get freshness, sweetness, spice, leather vetiver amber etc.

Big fan of the Spicebomg line. Night vision is a bold, Amber Fougere fragrance. Launched in 2020 as a more intense, refined successor to the 2019 edt version, this scent was crafted by perfumers Nathalie Lorson & Pierre Negrin. While the original Spicebomb line is famous for its fiery, explosive warmth, Night Vision EDP pivots toward a darker, electric green aesthetic. It kicks off vibrant & fresh before transitioning to a resinous warmth. In the opening, you are hit with a burst of citrus led by lemon essence and green mandarin, quickly joined by a spicy kick of black pepper & chili. This brightness soon transitions into a lush, aromatic heart where clary sage, rosemary & a unique green resinaccord take center stage, giving the scent its distinct herbal-woody character. As it settles into the base, it reveals its true depth; notes of incense, fir balsam & cedarwood blend together for a smoky, masculine foundation, while hints of almond & tonka bean add a subtle, creamy sweetness that rounds out the sharp edges of the spices. In terms of performance, this version of Night Vision is a substantial upgrade over the EDT, it lasts 6+ hrs on the skin. Its projection is potent during the first few hours, before settling into a persistent, alluring scent trail. Because of its dense, spicy, and resinous profile, it is best suited for the cooler months of autumn/winter, though it performs exceptionally well on brisk spring evenings. It is also a good night out fragrance, making it a perfect choice for date nights, clubbing, or any evening occasion My Rating: 8/10 Scent: 2.5 Longevity: 2.5 Sillage: 2 Y/N: 1
