Hey Fragrance Fam, 

I get asked this constantly. Instead of wanting to know what’s new, people are more intrigued by, “what are your top 3?” 

Here they are:

Fresh bergamot at the top, smooth orange blossom in the heart, warm woods (patchouli) in the base. It’s clean. It’s confident. It’s versatile.

Office? Yes. Date? Yes. Special occasion? Yas!
If you want to smell like the best version of yourself, this is it, folks.

My goodness.
Bold. Creamy. Addictive.

This one leans sweet but it’s grown man vibes. Vanilla warmth with depth. It feels like dim lighting, flirty conversations, and eye contact that lasts a little long.

Performance? Strong.
Presence? Loud without yelling.

This is the one I recommend as first date Garin-tees (to get that second date). Also good for weddings, friend outings, etc. It’s a stunner. 

This is the attention magnet.

Edgy nutmeg, spicy pimento, smooth vanilla and lavender. It pulls compliments like it’s on payroll.

Night out. Birthday dinner. “Let me step out and be seen” energy. It’s inspired by Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir but more daring and stronger. 

If you don’t own it yet… I don’t know what we’re doing.

🆕 New Drop: Valentino Born in Roma Purple Melancholia

Excitement can’t explain how bad I want this one. I’m buying asap to test out!

Who is this for?

Men and women because there’s two releases!

Donna Born in Roma Purple Melancholia: A fruity-floral EDP built around juicy plum, delicate osmanthus and jasmine in the heart, and a warm vanilla base. It’s romantic and slightly nostalgic

Uomo Born in Roma Purple Melancholia: A woody-aromatic take for men with spicy cardamom up top, creamy coconut and lavender in the heart, and amberwood below. It’s smooth and intriguing

Will follow up when I test them out! 

🎂 Birthday Scent Check

My birthday was Jan 31… and I went with:

Lattafa Angham Second Song

Technically more for the ladies…but listen.

Projection? Strong.
Longevity? Real.
Compliments? Immediate.

It performed very well with that strong pear blossom and orange blossom scent profile!
Only warning: don’t overspray. I went a little heavy and caught a small headache. 4-5 sprays max and you’re golden.

If you missed last week’s Everyone’s Asking About These, it was all about the new scents people wouldn’t stop asking me about

Stay layered. Stay intentional. See you next week.
