I hear good things about that one. Need to get a sample sometime.

Last two days AM/PM:
Etat Libre d’Orange - Cologne /
Le Galion - Colgone Nocturne
I could probably just wear that combo from here on out and be a happy man.
Today:
Comme des Garcons - Wonderoud
But then, sometimes you need a bit of weight behind your fragrance. Probably my personal favorite from the house.

Quality of the composition is top notch. On initial couple of sprays it is a bit heavy & thick. I let it sit and macerate for a bit and it has balanced out beautifully. The citrus with the tea note has this juicy appeal in the opening that stays for some time. Gradually the florals jump in in perfect harmony with the citrus and tea notes providing a somewhat green aromatic accord. But the coup de gras for me is the drydown with the clean light musk and smooth smelling vetiver with the floral and green notes lightly darting in and out over that gorgeous base . Safran from the same house is equally as good from a sample decant I received. It's next on the "to acquire list."

A&F throwback for a minute. The Woodiest scent that was ever created by Abercrombie. No sweetness at all to this juice just a deep and dark woody vibe. The most masculine and mature version of their Fierce line up. Nostalgia for me from my younger days....

AM: Etat Libre d’Orange - Cologne
Just can’t get enough of the simple Cologne scents lately, and this one is fabulbous, bright, juicy, a bit synthetic orange opening, and soft barbershop dry down.
PM: Le Galion - Cuir
Perfect follow up, unlike the ELdO this is probably not for everyone but I love it, a really aromatic IBQ type leather brightened with citric elemi, a massive ambergris dose overtakes the elemi and competes with the butch IBQ note, making this for a gentleman with an edge.
