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 :banderas:

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 :wow:

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.

- Perfumer, Xavier Blaizot

*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.

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.
