SOTD - Amity by Spirit of Kings

768_1024_cr_cr_perfumy-amity-100ml-spirit-of-kings.webp





This one was hittin' real nice...

The strawberry in this one was just right. Not a whole lot of houses act like they know what to do with strawberry (at least from what I tried) but this was blended proper. It wasn't too sweet or too tart, or nunna dat. Very smooth from smart to finish. Could see it as an evening joint but also just as a daily spring or fall joint as well. It's has some stayin' power to it that's quiet but still projecting.

SOTD - YSL - Babycat

Another hypebeast, but from the "higher end" line of YSL.

This is just a spicy vanilla, and not particularly spicy. One of the Mercedez Benz joints is a better vanilla than this. I'm not sure this is worth even getting 2mls of, because it's not really that interesting....but.....

It's a hypebeast because it may or may not have been available in the states, and was hard to get in Europe. (That may have changed)

Sebastian hyped this joint up, and a lot of the YT influencers jumped on the band wagon.

The thing to understand is that there's 1) designer, 2) niche (and indie), and then 3) the "private line" stuff from designers.

So designer is in the $100-125 range
Niche is offered at 250-400, but frequently available on the grey market, at 50% mark down (PDM is an example) (and a lot of these niche brands end up being owned by big designer houses or private equity....)

But "private line" is usually more expensive, and harder to find on the discount market.

You'll notice that most of the influencers never talk about the "private line" stuff. They'll talk about "1,000" a bottle Boadicea the Victorious, but it's rare that you see the prive line

Armani has Prive.

Chanel has Le Exclusifs

Versace has Atelier

Tom Ford has it's Private Blend (stuff like Ombre Leather is in their "signature" collection)

Private Blend Fragrances

Experience Private Blend fragrance, a collection of unique, artisanal perfumes unconstrained by the conventions of traditional scent-making.

YSL has it's Le Vestiaire collection

Dior has it's La Collection Privee


And I could go down the line. Name the designer, and they have a 3x cost line of fragrances that rarely get any sort of coverage on YT/IG/TikTok.

What Chanel Exclusif is closest to Blue Chanel cologne? :jbhmm:

Also, isn’t there supposed to be a new Exclusif dropping, or did it already come out? :dwillhuh:

1) None that I know of
2) It might be fake, we just don't know.

SOTD - Sunday Brunch

.

Pretty straightforward profile. Clearly not tryna reinvent the wheel or nothing. The lemon isn't overly pronounced & bergamot was clean. Kind of reminds me of Wulong Cha's less complicated little brudda. Pretty faint after a a hour or so.
