What Fragrance Did You Use Today?

Unimportant but I should mention to avoid most videos or discussions about florida water. It makes a fine light cologne to carry around, use after a shower, pour into a bath, or a room scent, but uh... some people believe it's more than just that.

Agreed. Also get the version that has “Peru” on the label.
 
Both smell nice, the regular clear with greenish blue tint is fine and 5 bucks. The Peru one is stronger and smells nicer, but that's the "odd topic" one I generally avoid.
 
Parfum d'Empire - Eau d'Gloire
Anther superb offering from the house, leather and the Corsican maquis meet in a wonderful masculine. As always the naturalistic element shines in this one while the leather takes a supporting role grounding and giving depth. Though not extremely strong, it's very rustic in the best way, and extremely wearable.

Papillon - Dryad
An amazing green chypre. You could say a niche, super well made Aramis, since that’s the green chypre most would be familiar with in these parts. Just imagine it having more depth and layers, bien made with natural, realistic smelling materials, lasting all day, and having a fantastic earthy oak moss dry down, and you’d be pretty close.

Weather's warm but still cool and breezy so it's One Man Show Emerald Edition for a while.

It's sorta like the original OMS but as if they made a sport flanker. Fresh, green, and airy. It's not rough or pissy and filled with a dreadful pine tar smell. Honestly, it smells pretty similar to Brut by Faberge, as if they made a more complicated EDT version and swapped the Oakmoss for Leather and added a slightly floral touch.

I'm sure @Spider might like this one!
