Sure did! Not a bad house so far. The missus really likes Noir for herself so she got me the sampler of things that I might like.

On the fence about Ambrette and Santal. Ambrette starts fairly feminine but is a nice floral once fully dried down. Santal has some funky top notes but is fairly unisex.

Tonka and Vetiver are nice, hints of other popular designers but with their own take. The last, Labdanum, is up for tomorrow!

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Lucky Tiger AS, and Le Labo Labdanum to finish!

Nice sleep in to start 2025…and my first OT workout of the year!

Chill day today as this is one of the few days a year considered a “holiday” day for work.

Happy New Year!
