    Very nice material to watch, as always.
    I also think that Dior Homme Sport 2021 is very much Iso E Super monster, with maybe few clean white musks in construction, but Ambroxan is also there in my opinion. It just works very well, giving this perfume a right sort of dry clean and sweet core. Expertly crafted perfume though, I like this.
    Fully agree, regarding Le Labo perfumery, I have written several negative reviews regarding this, sadly.
    Except Xerjoff, Acqua di Parma is my favorite niche house regarding Italian perfumery. My huge recommendation for very natural and beautifully built Bergamot perfumery is a fragrance from Blu Mediterraneo line "Bergamotto di Calabria". Please, try this one out.

      Just to let you know, in most of these designer fragrances, the smell of alcohol comes across as strong in clothes or paper the day after. Homme line is no different in that aspect. Don't know about Sauvage Elixir but Fahrenheit Parfum is the only exception due to the high-quality blend (I cannot say the same for Homme Intense, for example). Seedley scent always remains composed from start to end, and you feel the depth and thickness of the blend in the first 6h of the dry down.

    Soooo, I spent half a day in Harrods yesterday smelling all these brands. And I have I say Creeds range were really beautiful and natural but overpriced for sure.
    La labo were all very simple and average smelling naturals. Their patchouli was their most complex fragrance (smokey)
    Killian Angel share was surprisingly delicious but again very expensive for smelling like a good drink and an amazing desert (if I had the money id get it)
    Zerjof had a hugeeee range of high quality fragrances but again very expensive.
    By far my favourite was Aqua De Parma the most photorealistic and none synthetic beautiful rich fragrances I smelled all day. Even their single Note citrus ODT were dimensional and all about £130/150 compared to the others
    Gurrlain was my next favourite. Wow amazing history of perfumery there some incredible unique scents but very expensive ofc.
    Rojas entire library of smells were amazing but very expensive (smells more like a fragrance then a photorealistic moment in time like ADP)
    Mancera were very nice for their Price too! Truly better then designer and closer the the top end perfumery. My favourite was French Riviera.
    My nose died after that haha

      Prada luna rosa ocean is also quite a great blue frag. It smells like a mix of 2 frags but is overall well blended and nice smelling.
      Freshies: dylan blue (i haven't tried. Definitely try first). Allure homme sport or edition blanche. And last but not least aqua di gio profumo.
      One of my all time favs is terre de hermes. Bit earthy and mature but overall a masterpiece. Definitely try first.
