SOTD is Montri by is a spicy woody scent that was launched last year in 2022. A fairly new scent that is both soft and resinous and the nose behind is none other than Pissara Umavijani. She created and named the scent after her father who passed away, a direct homage to him. Now coming back to the scent as it opens up with a good dose of Saffron, Dried Fruits according to with some Oregano and Petitgrain. The opening is both Leathery resinous and warm. In the mid you get beautiful Rise de Mai that is not overpowering mixed with Leather and Orris. The whole combination is slightly animalic with creamy nausnces to it. You also get some Jasmine but not narcotic at all, just slights hints of it. In the base you get Oud from Palao, Oak, Sandalwood and Patchouli. Oud is not too strong but perfectly blended with dry Sandalwood. The base of the scent is quite dry, which I adore it. The scent may reminds you of Oud Palao but in a very good way. The scent is not as complexed as her Oudh Infini which was a Triumph of a scent from her collection and sadly discontinued. I had to buy 2 backup bottles of that one and sadly doesn’t come in 100ml like Montri. I wish it would. So in the end Montri is a solid Oud/Rose scent that is perfect for both cold days and nights. Now do we need another Oud/Rose scent??? Why not. The good thing about Montri is that it’s more of a Oud/Leather/ Rose scent. Leather is a bit more prominent in this scent than Rose. But regardless I like it very much. Just an FYI, though the Oud is not overpowering but it does contains its skankiness, not too much though but it is there and it stays throughout till the end. Both Longevity and Sillage are outstanding and will last you a good 8 to 10 hrs mark.

#oudforlifeSOTD is Bogart by Jacques Bogart. Released back in 1975 is a Chypre that is perfect for all year long. The nose behind is Lucien Ferrero and Maurice Maurin. The scent opens up with a blast of Orange and Lemon blossom mixed Rosemary and boy when i say Rosemary.. there is loads of it. The opening is both herbaceous and minty at the same time. In the mid you get tons of Cloves, some Geranium and Cedar and some Lavender. The mid is where the scent is both spices and woody and I love it as you can still smell the rosemary in the background. There is lavender but not too overpowering. The base is where the magic is as it consists of loads of Oakmoss, Birch and Leather. I could wear this and enjoy all year long, the scent is bright and uplifting and dark at the same time, it’s a bit weird but it works all the way. My dad wore this quite a bit in the late 80’s, 90’s. There are lots of memories surrounding this scent or this type of scent. You get that feeling when you smell this scent that you have smelled this sometime in your childhood. You can’t call this a macho scent but it’s masculine throughout. To some this may feel dated but I enjoy it thoroughly. This is probably the best out of Bogart scents that I have either smelled or own. Definitely worth having a back up bottle.. and I do.. Both Longevity and Sillage are good and will last you easily 6 to 8 hrs, which is perfect. I believe my bottle is from the late 80’s.

#oudforlifeSOTD is Gaultier 2 by. Released back in 2005 is an Amber scent that I gone through 2 bottles of the original formulation. I still have one bottle left that I cherish it very much and occasionally wear it. I purchased it on the day it was released. Just an FYI that this review is for the new formulation and version that was released some months back. It’s in a new presentation and the juice color is about the same. Smell wise they are somewhat close but doesn’t have that umph..to it as the original formulation. Also, you can only purchase it from JPG/Gaultier website. Note coming back to the scent.. the nose behind is none other than Francis Kurkdjian, who has created many from JPG including my favorites Le Male and Fluer de Male, to name few. The scent is resinous, sweet and a bit animalic, it’s not as powerful as the original, bit water down if you know what I mean. The scent opens up with loads of resinous Amber/Labdanum and few miniatures later Vanilla pops up that lady throughout the life of scent but do get lighter after a few hrs. There is a tad bit of animalic musk that last for the entire life of the scent. It smells good but not as good as the original formulation. Imagine this and make this 3 times potent and you will get the original formulation. If you like FK then you will enjoy it. You can Absolutely find hints of DNA of Grand Soir and APLS, specially in the original formulation.. The scent last around 7 hrs which is not bad but sits kind of close to the skin after 4 hrs but you can always re-spray. So good Longevity and Sillage. I may buy another bottle as this will not get to discounters so you know what that means right.. So, have you smelled this??

#jpgSOTD is 31 Rue Cambon from the Les Exclusif line by. Released back in 2007 is a bombastic Woody Chypre that probably the best from the IMO. I recently opened my second bottle that was unfortunately leaked a bit. The nose behind is Jacques Polge. My bottle is an EDP so it can be different to try lot EDT’s which I have never smelled. The scent opens up very bright and green with Bergamot and I get lot of Aldehydes with green notes. The opening can be a bit feminine but the more you wear it the more you appreciate it. In the mid you get loads of creamy buttery Iris with Ylang Ylang and I love the both sour and sweet nuances that comes from Ylang Ylang. You also get some hints of rose in the mid, not heavy though, just perfectly balanced. The scents become very warm and ambery in the base with notes like Labdanum and Patchouli. The thing I love about 31 Rue Cambon is that it just gets better and better from the top till the dry down. It’s Green, Floral, Woody, Ambery.. I mean it’s perfect, it’s a complete scent, I would say. I always wear it 2 days in a row and that’s how much I love it… I love modern Chypres and this is a perfect example of it. The scent may leans a bit towards feminine side but to me it’s an absolute unisex scent. An extremely wearable and brilliantly chic scent to die for… you can wear this throughout the year and would be a great signature scent. Both Longevity and Sillage are outstanding and would last you easily 8 to 10 hrs.

#chanelbeautySOTD is Gucci Pour Homme by. Released back in 1976 is Chypre fragrance. This iconic scent IMO was created by one of my favorite parfumers Guy Robert who has created many gems like Gucci No 1, Equipage by Hermes, Monsieur Rochas and one of my all time favorites Gold Man by Amouage. I believe my bottle is from the 80’s and it smells fantastic. The scent opens up with good doses of Amalfi Lemon, soft Lavender and some Basil. The opening of the scent is fresh mixed with floral qualities to it. Not really heavy on Lavender but you can definitely notice it. In the mid you get loads of Carnation, Sandalwood, Cedar and Jasmine, I was hoping for a narcotic type of a Jasmine but it is not in this case. The mid is both Floral and woody with some hints of spiciness that is coming from Carnation. The base of this brilliant scent is just simply perfect which consists of Oakmoss, Leather, Labdanum, Musk and loads of Amber. Each and every ingredient is perfectly balanced in this concoction. It’s a bit fresh, a bit spicy, a bit animalic, a bit mossy, a bit leathery. A perfectly executed and structured scent IMO. It has that 80’s vibe to it in a very brilliant way. They don’t masterpieces like this anymore. This would be a great signature scent, perfect for all year around. You can dress up, dress down, it will work. Both Longevity and Sillage are outstanding and will last you a good 10 hrs and that’s more than enough for me. So in the end, one of the best classic masculine scent and I am lucky enough to own it…

#gucciSOTMD is Hanuman by. A juicy Floral woody musk that is brilliant from opening to the dry down. Released back in 2016 to celebrate the year of the monkey..but I couldn’t find the parfumer. Most of them are done by CP but not sure on this one. The scent opens up with mouth watering Orange, Bergamot, Orange Blossom and Lemon. The cocktail of an opening lasts for a good amount of time and give glad tidings to the Summer. The mid you get Jasmine, that beautiful and luxurious. Though I was hoping for a bit narcotic but not this one. You also get Neroli and Magnolia in the mid which basically compliments the entire mid concoction. In the base you get loads of woods like Cederwood, Sandlewood with some musks and Amber. The base of this scent is as perfect as it can be. IMO this would be a perfect Signature scent that you wear throughout the year. All the Floral and woodish aspects are so perfectly executed that it would be perfect for any and every occasion. As the hours passes by, the scent becomes more and more sophisticated and elegant. Though the scent is just fantastically brilliant, it does reminds you of a bal d’ afrique and for quite of few hrs. If you make bal d’ afrique 20 times more natural and expensive smelling, ingredients wise and you will get Hanuman. From the price point of view.. it is crazy expensive but if you can get a good deal on it, then it’s definitely worth it. Both Sillage and Longevity are crazy and will last you over 12hrs, at least on me it does.
Happy Memorial Day to all who celebrates it.

#boadiceathevictoriousSOTD is Gladiator Oud by. Released in 2023( couple of months back) is an Oriental/Woody scent and the nose behind is none other than. A brilliant perfumer IMO who has created many favorites of mine from Royal Oud, The Moon, Black Powder, This is not a blue bottle, Cuir Velours to name few… Now coming back to the scent. The inspiration behind the scent are the Gladiators of the Ancient Rome and let me tell you what an exact interpretation this of the ancient world and time. The scent opens up a good dose of Cumin and Saffron that gives a bit of Salty, sweaty Leathery nuances to it and what a fantastic opening in my opinion. The opening lasts quite a bit long and I don’t mind it at all. In the mid you get loads of Immortale, Hay, some Honey and a tad bit of Geranium. I mean the mid has a tad bit and I mean really small hints of minty cool rosy effect coming from Geranium mixed Immortale is simply perfect. In the base you get good dose of Real Oud from LMR naturals, I believe they are owned by IFF and they are like natural ingredients division of IFF but not 100% sure. Besides Oud and by the way Oud is a bit Animalic.. you get Indonesian Patchouli, Atlas Cerdarwood, Vetiver and Ambergris. The base of this beautiful scent simply completes the scent. The whole concoction has good doses of Natural ingredients which hands down make the entire composition beautiful. I don’t want to use the word Macho.. to describe the scent but I will use BRAVE to define the scent as it has the definite quality to it. This scent can be very challenging to some but to me it’s comforting… and what a brilliant composition by bowing down 🙌🙌🙌. Though I really don’t care for packaging but the bottle is thick, solid and beautiful. Both Longevity and Sillage are outstanding and will last you around 12hrs which is crazzzyyy.

#oudforlifeSOTD is Perry Ellis Cologne for Men. Released back in 1985 is surely a blast from the past. Smelling this when growing up had lots of beautiful memories tattooed in my brain. It’s sn Amber Spicy scent and I don’t know who the parfumer is but can say for sure that he or she did an amazing job with this one. This is the only one I own from the brand. The scent opens up with hints of Lemon Verbena, Basil and Aldehydes that gives the opening very green and herbal quality to it that doesn’t lasts much and the mid pops up with loads of Carnation, Galbanum, Jasmine, Incense, Amber and some rose. The mid is quite Smokey, warm with hints of Rosey effects. The base is outstandingly brilliant with Oakmoss, Leather, Sandalwood, Benzoin, Opoponax and Civet. The base simply completes the scent and has a classic 80’s/90’s vibes to it which I love it. There are many other notes listed but this basically what I get. Comparing this to other designers scent out there now days is Ludacris as this is a true beauty. Just an FYI this has been discontinued since mid 90’s the review is for Cologne for Men and I believe it was called something else after it’s reformulations and there had been quite a few. This vintage is an absolute beauty, a hall of fame indeed. The sprayer is a bit of crap on this bottle but can’t complain as it’s over 30 yrs old bottle. This is one of those scents that you can vividly smell the base notes few minutes in when you first spray it. This would be perfect for Spring, Fall and Winter and you can dress up or down, don’t matter. Both Longevity and Sillage are outstanding and will easily lasts you a over 10hrs which is more than enough. An absolute gem IMO,I am glad that it’s a 150ml bottle, so it would lasts me a very long time.

#oudforlifeSOTD is Vendetta Uomo pour homme by. A highly underrated scent IMO was Launched in 1991 is an Amber Leather scent and the nose behind is none other than who has created many gems that I love like Poison from Dior, Une Rose from Frederic Malle, Tobacco Reserve from Aramis to name few. The opening of the scent both green and soothing with notes like Basil, Coriander infused with Bergamot and hints of Aldehydes. The mid is quite warm and woody with notes like Cinnamon, Cedar and Patchouli, a perfect combination I would say. The base gets very dark as it should like the name suggests… consists of Dark Leather, loads of Labdanum/Amber, Benzoin, Oakmoss and some Musk. This is one of those scents that has a perfect base, I mean if you think of it, it’s a nearly perfect scent and I can’t believe that this was released back in 1991 when Fresh scents were the IT thing. Vendetta went against the grain and the finale was just beautiful. Kudos to of creating such a brilliant concoction. Sadly these type of fragrances are being made lately. I mean it doesn’t smell like an old school fragrance, I think it’s timeless. Surprisingly both Longevity and Sillage are great and would last you easily 8 hrs which is more than enough. This would be great for Spring, Fall and Winter and dress up, dress down, don’t matter as this stuff is just outstanding.

#oudforlifeSOTD is Five O’ clock Au Gingembre by. Released back in 2008 and the nose behind is none other than. Like many other Five O’clock Au Gingembre is extremely masterfully created and blended by. This is my second bottle that I just opened up and still wonderful comparing to the old version with 50ml bottle. It opens up with notes of Tea and little bit of Bergamot, I believe it’s black tea. The whole opening is very soothing. In the mid you get some warm notes like some woods notes, Cinnamon and Ginger. The mid gives a velvet cozy cover like an effect to the scent which is very warming. In the base you get some Amber, Patchouli, Pepper and tad bit of Honey. The dry down is basically bit of Peperry Ambr, not heavy on Honey but you can still feel it that is there. A very pleasant scent from opening till the end. Nothing screams out for attention in this concoction and I love it. This is one of those scents that you can wear it all year around, dress up or dress down, all the ingredients work so well in here and that’s why I bought the 100ml bottle so I don’t have worry about running low on it. It’s also an excellent unisex scent and smells very classy and not overpowering at all. Both Longevity and Sillage are good and will last you god 6 to 8 hrs, which is more than enough IMO.
