Ooh nice, another mint. Do you know how it compares to Beach Hut?Splurged a bit when I found a good deal on a brand new bottle of Amouage Enclave.

I’ve not been able to try Beach Hut. This will be my third Amouage and third blind buy
I did lots of research (of course) and most reviews say Beach Hut is more fougere/green and the mint is more herbal/realistic where as Enclave is more candy with amber. So I’m imagining something like Myrsol K with amber. We’ll see!

Keep us updated. I really like Beach Hut, it's exactly what you said. I've been on a long search for a green fougere, and it's been the only one to come close to what I'm looking for (so far).I’ve not been able to try Beach Hut. This will be my third Amouage and third blind buy

Myrsol K is the best peppermint I've tried, if it is that with legs, watch out!
And you're a brave man buying Amouage blind

Domenico Caraceni - DC 1913
Maybe not my latest purchase, since I ordered it in January, but it was out of stock due to high Christmas volume.
DC has been absolutely fantastic about handling the problem, with frequent phone calls and emails all the way through.
Anyway about the fragrance, this is old school elegance. Just based on my first spray a few minutes ago, I'm getting combo of a classic herbal fougere with a soapy rose. Very nicely done!

Ok, that didn't last long, but I did tell @MarkB that I'd get this next time it came up on sale. Great deal on an unboxed version.
At least it's not a blind buy, I smelt it in Tallinn and TBH it was probably the best thing I tested the whole day, but knew I could find it at way better than retail if I just held my horses.

I'm looking for good tobacco AS's. A&E's Choco Cubano has great tobacco notes. I bought Ariana & Evans Tobacco Road, but it has a really vanilla sweet scent with the tobacco solidly in the backseat. I'm open to some suggestions.

Miller Harris Feuilles de Tabac is the best straight forward tobacco I know. At least where I am, it comes up on the grey market fairly regularly.
Czech and Speake Cuba is a great darker tobacco.
Thanks. Just realized I posted this in the wrong thread of this section.

Picked up a few stragglers on the way home....
These have been on the wish list for a bit, and I just found some really good deals on them, and just in time as things are getting dark, cold and wet here, yay. One more to pick up tomorrow and we're trying to not get much more before Christmas.
