SOTD - Counterplay (Mind Games)

CounteplayIngridientShotLOWRES.jpg


Had high expectations for this one with its feedback, and coming from this house with Checkmate being one of my favorite jounts, but I found the melon in the opening to be the best part about this so far. It was very faint for me after that which I normally can't say about MG frags. It was extra hot today tho so could've just underperformed in the heat on my skin. Gonna have to revisit. The Osmanthus in the dry-down is real nice.

That's what I thought. I want a full bottle now, I'll just have to get the discount on the refill.

I wanna say I saw sum mfs say they be buying empty bottles off places like Mercari & shyt & takin' em into LV for da refill off jump lol. I personally would want my own shyt tho ngl, even if a nicca had to stash for a few months or sum'n

SOTD - Zoologist - T-Rex


Top Notes: Bergamot, Black Pepper, Fir, Laurel Leaf, Neroli, Nutmeg
Heart Notes: Champaca, Geranium, Jasmine, Osmanthus, Rose, Ylang Ylang
Base Notes: Resins, Cade, Cedar, Civet*, Frankincense, Leather*, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vanilla

I chose violence this morning. To me, the most distinctive thing in this joint is the birch tar, aka cade oil. Like you could talk me into the idea that there is black pepper and nutmeg, and geranium etc - but the Cade and the Leather dominate

SOTM - Narcotix Citrus


I can't stand the "all roads lead back to Aventus" reviews that happen when mfs get the 1st whiff of Pineapple, Apple, and Bergamot lol, but this right here is def on brand along those lines.....if Aventus was aged in a whiskey barrel for like 5,000 years lol. This was def breh's attempt at "maturing" this kind of scent a bit. Shyt woody as hell. Not sure how I feel about it just yet. Not worth a full bottle tho or 2nd decant buy prolly.

SOTD - Room 1015 - Cherry Punk

Room 1015 is a Polish brand, and was getting some mentions here and there.

The scent - typical perfumer's cherry.
Longevity - it's still going after 4 hours
Projection/Sillage - I don't think it has much in a relativley cool weather, with only a few sprays

Overall, not bad, not great. Not sure if I like the cherry note, even though I love the actual fruit and pretty much anything cherry flavored.
