Walking home from dinner, I called my folks...

A neighbor's outdoor cat has been visiting them every day they garden (1st photo)

Literally RIGHT after hanging up, an outdoor cat ran up to me (2nd photo)

Cat coincidence!! 🐈‍⬛️

Boadicea the Victorious - "Valiant"

Tasteful, gorgeously balanced cherry & soft wood

White musk keeps cherry from being cheesy. Incense spice + melon creaminess. Rare for fruity notes to be classy

Uniquely exquisite and easy to like. Almost bottle worthy, if not for price. Worth a sample!

Tom Ford - "Vert des Bois"

Awesome leather + brisk green. Mahogany wood stain with sweet bell pepper. Dry musk adds mature edge

Vintage barbershop is nuanced and fun to explore. Classy and spry gentlemen. Not youthful

Herbal, woody, black peppercorn aftershave. It’s fine and works, but dated
June 12, 2024 at 7:35 AM
L'Occitane en Provence - "Eau des Baux"

Spicy pink peppercorn & warm cinnamon. Dry nuance from cypress adds tasteful balance

Cozy, sexy, radiates heat

Regal smoky tonka bean slowly takes over. Med strong

Comforting, less blue Gucci PHII. Similar to Royal Oud, Bleue d'Issey, Tea for Two, Equus
June 5, 2024 at 7:08 AM
L'Artisan Parfumeur - "Premier Figuier"

Thick, yet airy. Plant stem is fresh like watermelon rind. Shampoo quickly builds

On skin, radiates dry grandma powder while damp fig tempts far in background

Dewy green fig shines incredibly on a pillow. Glad I tried that! But unbearably soapy on skin
June 3, 2024 at 12:13 AM
Dior - "Balade Sauvage"

Nostalgically wistful salty sea air

Sunscreen carries a floral note that’s refined unisex

The gradualness of it turning woody/nutty is impressive. It's all very soft

Mossy cedar builds. Appealingly musty/dusty like chalk, with fruity cucumber

Impressive hand lotion
May 29, 2024 at 12:37 PM
Tom Ford - "Tuscan Leather"

Smoky oud, uplifting vetiver adds density. Velvety, fruity tobacco

Sharp raspberry by way of cocaine. Instead of leather, fresh rubber tires + new car smell in a clean auto shop. Cigarette smoke lingers

Animalistic note is excitingly sexy, not cozy. Energizing for bars
May 22, 2024 at 7:55 AM
Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier - "Route du Vetiver"

Vetiver opens sharply medicinal, softly warm with prickly spice in background

Wistful like a scent on the wind. Formal suede & papyrus flattens experience

Mature, yet safe and light

Deepens over time with some leather + diesel while remaining soft
May 21, 2024 at 11:38 AM
Atkinsons - "His Majesty The Oud"

Smoky moss. Fireplace + herbal that’s almost menthol. Warm, not sweet, tobacco vanilla resides in the middle - holding them together

Black tea. Vintage energy. Dry sandalwood keeps warmth from being cozy

Smoke remains dominant as amber honey builds. Dank
May 17, 2024 at 2:00 AM
Gendarme - "Gendarme"

Soft, classy sunscreen, salty ocean, green florals. Dominant hand lotion

Airy and uplifting like a sunny day at the beach. Starts sharp lime zest and turns lemon verbena. Iris builds

Overall, dominant soapiness reads generic, if well-made, hand lotion. Too Mom/Grandma
May 16, 2024 at 5:41 AM
Yves Saint Laurent - "Kouros"

Non-spicy vetiver. Sunscreen with moss by way of shampoo

Radiates in a way that's especially appealing. Damp herbal wood is strangely addicting

Lavender, honey, musk is energizing despite being dated. Generic notes are executed in a way that's hard not to love
May 15, 2024 at 10:59 AM
L'Artisan Parfumeur - "Tea for Two"

Warm cinnamon, peppercorn spice with gentle smoke

Gucci Pour Homme II while riding motorcycle in Autumn. Woody, softer, without blue/fresh

Restrained iron fireplace, tobacco adds cowboy edge and matures cinnamon/ginger

Unique...yet cozy, sexy & a little dirty
May 14, 2024 at 8:13 AM
Tauer - "Au Coeur du Désert"

Sandy w/ amber warmth tempered by dry cashmere

Cozy body radiates dense cedar, dry vetiver, cumin spice

Distinct, yet enjoyable. Dry down hits sweet spot. Intoxicatingly easy to like

Smells like canvas tent flapping in desert wind while sweet figs + incense smolder
May 11, 2024 at 8:10 AM
Mazzolari - "Lui"

Very warm. Dry patchouli/vetiver contrasts in a way that's both cozy & formal

Alluring spice with classy leather/tobacco

Sexy Italian gentleman, despite being dated

Dry down sweetens with wood stain + choc truffle

Intriguing, almost challenging - a little too stately
May 10, 2024 at 4:58 AM
James Heeley - "Vetiver Veritas"

Bracing menthol turns bright vetiver

Mildly dense. Expected woody/grassy spice. Energizing top note leans fresh. Clove + grapefruit, but hay

Fine. Maybe even good. Bright spice has punch, vetiver is clean/pure

Dry down of incense pine bark. There's better options
May 8, 2024 at 12:48 AM
Oriza L. Legrand - "Chypre Mousse"

Earthy, herbal, spicy spearmint. Upbeat barbershop

Distinct pine needles, soil, mushroom, vetiver. Damp woodiness with a little fresh green stem

Creaminess builds, contrasting brisk note, and harmonizing gorgeously

Nothing else like it & masterfully blended
May 7, 2024 at 2:35 AM
Diptyque - "34 Boulevard Saint Germain" EDT

Cozy amber, spicy pink peppercorn, vetiver

Dry paper/fabric note flattens experience while maintaining dense dry grass

Quickly picks back up as things round out for drydown. Worthy entry in the genre that sings. Hard not to like, but EDP’s likely better
May 4, 2024 at 7:02 AM
Caron - "Le 3e Homme"

Pine needles, not xmas

Warms on skin with leather vetiver & gentle floral. Fabric brings out menthol herbs

Brisk barbershop formidably contrasts cozy vetiver + plays with spice

Soft tonka bean in background mellows raw vetiver -at the cost of making things less exciting
May 1, 2024 at 9:12 AM
Pierre Guillaume - "Drama Nuui 23"

Deeply indolic, heavy jasmine flower. Strong, mysterious. Thick honey pairs without being sweet

Skin brings out masculine wet wood. Fabric keeps it light perfumey

Dated + shampoo, but nice catching occasional whiffs. Dry down improves despite grandma floral
April 30, 2024 at 3:20 AM
Lalique - "Encre Noire Sport"

Thick moss, loam, faint vetiver/cypress

Humid density from musk is a little soapy. Watery/rainy marine harmonizes with bergamot/grapefruit zest. Soft & heady

Fresh blue takes over, but generic. Brisk top note, cozy mid, minimal base

Not bad, but something's off
April 30, 2024 at 2:40 AM
Guerlain - "Heritage" EDP

Vintage barbershop aftershave balanced by warm, cozy depth

Potent and dense...1 spray is almost too much! Lasts forever

Amber, salty oud finishes brisk pine loam, dry moss

Sexy, likable, unfamiliar. Dated in a cool way. Can't get enough even though it's a beast
April 23, 2024 at 9:38 AM
Dusita - "Le Sillage Blanc"

Dewy green watermelon rind/cucumber & orange blossom. Fresh mossy coziness

Nostalgic veggie garden. Addictively unisex floral. Shaving cream does heavy lifting, but not bad

Stunning like speakers you can turn too loud without sounding bad

Extra special and a must-own
April 20, 2024 at 6:01 AM
Tom Ford - "Lavender Extreme"

Rich, warm, uplifting

Root beer/cream soda & chocolate cake. Normally opposed to gourmand, but this is deep and complex

Tonka bean dominates dry down. Choc milk is not sweet. Nuanced, with vetiver complexity

Dangerously cozy and impossibly appealing
