I spent last night at the ER with my Mom, she was not feeling well. But, thanks God, everything turned up well. So I didn’t work today and took her on running errands. I decided to wear one of my signature scents by the end of the 90’s (launched in 1996 and relaunched in 2010) that contributed to makes me realize (at this time as a collector,) that I used to like a lot of the mens floral fragrances, like: Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme, Carolina Herrera for Men and 212 Men, Cartier Declaration, Estée Lauder Pleasures, Alfred Sung Hei, Claiborne for Men, Wings for Men Giorgio Beverly Hills, and many more. Yes I have always been a fragrance explorer, although there was times in with I married some fragrances for certain amount of time. The Dreamer continues to offer a refined, delightful, fresh and alluring experience. It’s perfect for the heat, it’s inoffensive for casual wear, with average projection and longevity.

Classic slept on budget summer fragrance! In the Sospiro Vibrato space with a strong focus on citrus and ginger. Not anywhere near as punchy or long lasting as Vibrato, but it smells very nice and wonderfully blended. Unfortunately, I only get a few hours from this, but it's perfect for the gym or lunch or any other short occasions. Can always reapply as well. Today,I let it fade and wore Gisada Ambassador for the rest of the day. Any opinions on this one?

As I have expressed before, I’m not a Bleu de Chanel fan, I find it boring. Maybe in a near future that could change. However, the new L’Exclusif version captured my interest enough to consider getting it in the future. The OG Iconic is one of the CDN I don’t have in my collection for obvious reasons, including that I already have 6 BDC alternatives that I barely crave for. Nevertheless, as soon as I saw Iconic Extrait at Marshalls, I got to get it as my alternative to L'Exclusif. People compare Iconic Extrait with BDC Parfum, but doesn’t make any sense that Armaf will launch the Parfum version when the newest one was L'Exclusif. I definitely get L'Exclusif vibes from the Iconic Extrait. IMO it opens quite subtle, spiced, ambery, smoky and woodsy, and I also got an iris like nuance. As it dries down, the citrusy, sweet, ambery and leathery nuances ramps up, with the smoky and woody notes undertones. Performance here is out of the question, versatility is A+ for any season or occasion. This fragrance is very intoxicating, I just can’t have enough.
