    Gucci Guilty Absolute is fabulous and I purchased two bottles of M7 when it was released, I liked it that much. Fortunately I still have a full bottle of M7 & the aftershave.

      I think that experince taught me how fast I could be. Jezza didn't do second takes. And he wanted stuff edited ASAP. I learnt a lot about my for lack of a better term 'editors endurance' that week so that did spark the idea off.

    Anthracite should have been put in a private blend bottle, but some idiot at marketing(fired never heard from again) decided to put it in the noir line and try to sell it along side the rest of the mass pleasing boring as ill get out releases from the signature line at Sephoras 🤷‍♂️ big mistake. Anthracite is an amazing fragrance, complex, green, spicy, leathery and performs great.

    Kokorico was released too early, if it was dropped nowadays it would be way more fans of it. Really my favourite fragrance from JPG (actually, flanker Kokorico by Night is even more)
    Now, in 2021, we need that creativity, because we dying in a shitty swamp with mediocre flankers.

    Flop or not, I personally prefer spice bomb night vision over any of the other from the line. I understand the hate it received from the frag community over it not carrying any of the Original Spicebomb DNA along with it but it for me just now getting back into fragrances again after many years it was different from what I had normally been used to. So that already tell you I wasn’t exposed to the Invictus DNA that almost everyone out there will compare every blue scent out there to.

    Edit: I bought some Davidoff coolwater and maybe it was stored wrong, maybe it was a counterfeit. But it was incredibly overbearing AND smelled like my a 7th grade locker room where everyone was spraying their cologne, applying deodorant, axe spray. All of it mixed together and time travel back to 1982 in Miami vice.
