u/-PrecYse-

Just got this in this morning, firstly , scentgrade wins the award for the most freebies I’ve ever seen, ever lol , everything outside of this Jinx frag was thrown in the box at no cost, that is insane! Amazing stuff

Anywho, what a successful blind buy , will admit the bottle and notes got me hah but thankfully I’m very pleased with this one, opens up very clove and tobacco heavy in such a well blended smooth way, doesn’t come across like ash or smoke to my nose, more so ,a bit boozy at first but has the smell of a well worn kind of dirty rugged leather jacket on a person who frequented coffee shops daily for decades, so many aromas baked into this smell working in balance. Moves on to an earthy kind semi mentholated dry down. The vanilla and cocoa in the dry down are so well done and scream extreme high quality, this doesn’t project a ton as it’s high oil content but anyone in your immediate area will smell you and love (hopefully lol) being near you. What a wonderful scent bubble it creates

Smells lovely, kind of rugged ,a bit dirty but not foul in the least , very familiar, once again , a worn in smell, kind of driving me crazy that i can’t quite remember where I’ve smelled something similar but it is indeed a distant memory. I understand now what they mean by gourmand adjacent, this isn’t gourmand in a sweet way.

Not because I’m trying to justify my blind buy but Id give this an 8/10, fairly linear but in the best way possible , this 30 ml will last a very long time as two sprays is all you need and this will last the entire day without letting up , still smells like I just put it on.

Forgive me if I’m not the best with my descriptions, thanks for reading

My favorites are currently Riviera, Suite 909 and Late Night, I have a full bottle of Late Night but I think Riviera will be my next for the weather right now, it’s beautiful, got this set for 54 bucks , I think it’s worth it to try out!

This stuff smells incredible just suffers from poor performance. Also this 5 ounce bottle is the only one that can be refilled. Absolutely worth it at this price, hard to find this cheap

Got a pretty amazing deal on this bundle. Really love the presentation from this house along with the handful I have tried. Really looking forward to be trying all of these! Will post ratings and short review of each when I’m done !

Reminds me of a much lighter Widian New York, airy florals , mainly rose, with fresh fruit, very ambery soft dry down with the absolute slightest hint of Oud. My wife walked into the room I sprayed it in and enjoyed it thoroughly. Drys down way better than it opens. May take me a few wears to fully appreciate it but no complaints, too early to speak on longevity but the amber Oud base should have it stick around for some time

This stuff is incredible, feel like this is something John Wick would wear. Dark woods and smoky incense ,a very brooding aroma. A user on fragrantica described this as very atmospheric and that is on point. Smells reminiscent of something familiar while also smelling incredibly unique. At face value it may come off as linear but the more you smell it, the more it unravels as a deeply artistic and well crafted fragrance with subtle complexities

Picked up Debaser tester from ScentAngel for under 90 bucks, amazing green fragrance , very figgy and pleasant , I’ll wear it a lot this summer for sure, DVN is a wonderful blend of frankincense and myrrh, I had a small sample and needed a bottle when it finished

Was just browsing the shop app for any good deals and found this twenty piece sample set (2 ml each) for 75 shipped.When you look up the store homepage on the app, it might give you a different discount (showed 60 off on my wifes phone) but worth looking at if you wanted to try this house , comes to less than 4 bucks a sample , googled a random 10% off code to stack with the shop app discount

Got this for about 210 shipped from Scentgrade (thanks shop app deal) , already felt like I got an amazing deal and then opened the box to some banger free samples , already have a few of these, very interested in both Eight and Bob samples, (Egypt almost immediately full bottle worthy )and Odeon Rosebud (still determining whether or not its far too feminine leaning for my taste but smells great)

Anelo may be my favorite fruity fresh long lasting fragrance, reminds me a bit of vibrato mixed with Aventus Absolu, 10/10 fragrance.
