SOTM - Himalaya/ Triumph of Bacchus

Not too keen on the opening (when layered together) but the dry down is on some woody/boozy/tobacco greatness

It's cool that he's building a collection, but something I realized is that after a while, cologne collecting can become a sickness and you just end up buying bottles just because you think you are 'missing out' on something.

I've ended up with at least 35 bottles of cologne, but realistically, I only reach for probably 7 bottles. The rest are sitting there slowly deteriorating in quality.

Hacivat today.
I think this is the first time I wore this all year.

Fall and Winter are the GOAT fragrance seasons, I feel.

If you can afford it, take advantage of these Labor Day sales on decants this weekend. You could discover something good for Scarf Season.

SOTD: Terre d'Hermes Parfum

This is a mature man fragrance but

Every now and then I wear this and I feel like I got my stuff together.

Whatever Creed tries to do with their grown up scents, Terre d'Hermes does it better.

Terre


Eau de Parfum, 100ml
$255


Fragrance Profile
This rich and earthy scent starts with spicy saffron, ginger, cumin, davana, and birch leaf, reminiscent of a forest at dawn. It unfolds into a heart of rose, ylang ylang, thyme, and tolubalsam, capturing the essence of a thriving garden. The base combines woody amber, cedarwood, sandalwood, and opoponax, grounding the fragrance with the richness of fertile forest soil. Perfect for those who favor bold, natural scents.

*Wore this yesterday. This good. It reminds me of Dior Homme Parfum and Memo Paris- African Leather. It has pretty good projection and longevity.

But it isn't better than either.

I like but I wouldn't buy. Especially at this price.

JASMIN DE TOSCANE

TOP NOTES:

Grapefruit Oil, Freesia Accord, Petitgrain oil Tunisia LMR

HEART NOTES:

Jasmine absolute India LMR, Jasmine absolute sambac LMR, Living Jasmine Sambac Grand Duke of Tuscany

BASE NOTES:

Sinfonide TM, Benjoin resinoid LMR, Hazelnut accord


----------------------------------------

*Tested this today:
This smells like 1988 powerful ass women's perfume. Like some shyt Thelma Frye wore to go seduce Rev. Gregory at church.


This smell like jasmin flowers chopped up and cut with sugar and cooked like freebase.

I got a sample of LVers on the way. Suppose to smell pretty good.

Got the sample and not a fan of it at all. Smells way too much like Santal 33 but even more green and pickley. I might need to sit with is for a while longer but first impression easy pass.

On the way.

*This smells really close to Bentley for Men Intense mixed with Bentley for Men Absolute. This a Parfum so it's strong. Overpriced as fukk tho.
