Guerlain Homme EdP

Caveat: I'm a total amateur as far as scents and even more so at describing them. I recently ordered and tried Static by Corridor (clothing company based in NYC).

I would describe it as spicy/peppery at first, and maybe some slight patchouli later on? Definitely pleasant and not overwhelming. I'm liking it so far

Just got out of the shower and resprayed my SOTD, Floris No. 89. My goodness, if there is a scent that paints a vivid picture of the 1950s in my head, it is this one. Such a wonderfully delicate, romantic, and gentlemanly scent.

Looking for recommendations for a dead-of-summer fragrance, I'm interested in "dirtier", spicier scents with good longevity that can stand up to high heat. Not really into clean, fresh ones.

My favorite summer scents I've tried so far are Neroli Portefino, Cologne Indelible, Guerlain Homme and Acqua di Sale Profumum Roma (probably my favorite of the bunch).

I like Cartier Declaration and Terre d'Hermes but both end up wispy on me. Aventus was ok but not very interesting.

I would call all the scents you mention here "fresh". Certainly not dirty or even spicy. Those are all citrusy scents in the cologne/eau category. All of them good though.

If you want a citrus with a spicier edge I would suggest Antonio Alessandria Fara.

Well, someone had to say it.

However, I don't think Profumum Roma Acqua di Sale is a citrus-y fragrance at all. I get absolutely zero citrus in it. I'd call it an aquatic and not an eau de cologne.

Today is Fragrance Du Bois Oud Bleu Intense.

I love that house...
Milano still being my favorite.

True. Acqua di Sale is the odd scent out among those. Seaweed, salt, myrtle and some woods. Still fresh though.

Just tried Dior Granville, wow, what in the hell is wrong with Dior to discontinue this? beautiful herbal woody citrus. Please discontinue everything post 2014 and bring back the OG privee line.

Try Aramis 900 or Devin (people say Havana too but haven't tried it myself).

900 in particular is quite nice in summer. Rose and patchouli with a bit of funkiness.

Margiela Jazz Club today.
I’ve started to pair my fragrances with my attire each morning, making them more dialled in for the occasion so rather than wearing TF Oud Wood everyday I can mix it up.

today I’m wearing a super casual fit of a vintage rugby, chinos and unlined loafers with a fleece gilet so a casual fragrance feels suited.

probably the shittest explanation.

You gotta be in the Southern hemisphere because that is in no way a warm weather fragrance.

This week I've found it's either so hot, or I'm still so sweaty after showering or something but there's been no longevity to my fragrances. Today is Dandelion & Fig and it is almost gone.
