I've been using Essense of John Galliano - it's Diptyque's take on russian leather, and I like it a lot.

It's not sold as personal fragrance but as incense, though I don't see a reason...

It's been over 30C these days so Aqua di Cuba by Santa Maria Novella seemed appropriate.

Diptyque Philosykos EdP

Penhaligon's Opus 1870

Revisiting this from a sample from few years back and the verdict is still no full bottle. It's warm and woodsy with a bit of pepper but the vintage gucci pour homme is in...

hammam bouquet

Penhaligon's Eau Sans Pareil - it's way to formal for everyday, but works well today.

Tabacco from I Profumi di Firenze

Today I went for C&S Cuba - decidedly modern but not in a mainstream kind of way. And with a nutmeg note, which reminds me of Cacharel

Philosykos, the edp version

I've bought my Creed bottles from their counter at Saks across the Rockefeller Center, it is expensive, but in the grand scheme of things it's not that big of a deal. I don't expect to ever have to...

I kept with the green orange until wednesday, on thursday I thought I'd stay with a cologne theme but vary it a bit and used Colonia Russa, today was going for another old-school take on it with...

I'd forgotten how good the drydown of the eau d'orange verte was, so I had it for a second day and may stick to it for the next week or so as well. I'm overlooking the short life of the top notes,...

Eau d'orange verte - only wish it lasted longer.

Royall Vetiver - not my favorite, but I wanted something casual and that fit quite well.

I'm having a meeting of somewhat adversarial nature later today, so Blenheim Bouquet it is.

another gucci pour homme day

Gucci pour Homme (the vintage version). I love the pencil smell in this kind of rainy and gloomy weather

The weather is turning to fall, so this weekend I wore SMN Spanish Leather - I think it's one of the sexiest fragrances, well it's not only what I think, but the empirical evidence ;)

Today was probably the last really hot day of this year (31C/88F) and so I did SMN Acqua di Sicilia, there were a few contenders, but at the end I decided to go more citrusy.

Hammam bouquet for me again, lately the drydown has grown a lot on me, I've completely rediscovered this scent and it's no longer just for rare occasions!

Today I went with Penhaligon's Hammam Bouquet. It really is a classic, nearly 150 years old and I can pull it off today without problem.

Dug out a bag of various samples and thought I should give some another try in case I've changed my mind. So today was T&H Spanish Leather. The verdict is that I prefer the SMN by far, so I'll be...

Yeah, I got it when it came out in 2005 or 2006 and I think it's one of the marvels of modern chemistry. As far as I know it's largely synthetic but smells natural.

I got the C&S 88 in aftershave...

Today I did Hermès Un Jardin sur le Nil
Haven't used it in quite some time - so refreshing :)
