Scent of the Day : Menthe Fraiche by Heeley

Menthe Fraiche, I totally forgot about how good you can be ! It really does live up to it's name being a Fresh Minty fragrance and I get that vibe every single time I wear this. It's just a work of art and I recommend this to anyone who likes a minty fragrances. This is one of the top ones in the game and it just evokes a clean minty vibe with me.

Scent of the Day : Dior Homme Intense by Christian Dior

2nd try with my new bottle of Intense. I am really enjoying this fragrance, it reminded me of something the past few wearings and I think I got it. It has a almost powdered chocolate feeling to it. Obviously the powdered feeling is from the original but the chocolate feeling is something new that I rather enjoy. Kinda feels like Armani Diamonds meets Armani Code. I'm really feeling this fragrance for a great fall fragrance and the more I wear it the more I am enjoying it. Alright guys that enough from me.

Scent of the Day : Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier



Going back to the favourite... brought one of my bottles with me since I don't think I could do another 2 months without it... yea if you didn't know you know now, this is my signature scent.

Scent of the Day : Dior Homme Intense by Christian Dior

Decided to open it up and try out Dior Homme Intense in Holland. Wore it for about 8 hours and still going strong. Went outside with it , went for a walk and also some chilling in my bedroom and a small 2 hour nap. First wearing impressions is that it does really feel like the original. I really felt that floral woody feel to it like I felt in the original. I also feel that lipstick feel that others get in the original, well it's still in this one folks.

Apparently this is a limited edition fragrance which I was not aware of, so I feel like I had some good luck with me finding this. I really feel like this one has a warmer quality to it, almost like comparing l'homme with la nuit de l'homme and this one and the original dior homme. It feels like I can wear this for fall and winter which is perfect for me.

Overall experience with this one I would say it came off as a quality fragrance, I would say it's very well done and I enjoyed it. It won't be one of my favourites of all time but it will compete vs the la nuit de l'homme's of the world. I enjoyed it and I think you should take a look into it too.

Blog Time : Duty Free Shopping

Alright guys it's that time again to start blogging again. I was my usual self browsing in the duty free area. I found some interesting choices, too bad the duty free in Toronto is not as good as the one in Amsterdam but I make due.

I smelled a bunch of fragrances new and old. Some good some so-so. I smelled the new Eternity Aqua and did not come out impressed. I did smell a few of the Dolce's numbered series I really liked #1 and #10 (I believe that was the number) and those were sub par and might deserve a purchase later on. I smelled a few Tom Ford's from the women's side which was White Patchouli and Black Orchid and both impressed me but the price tag was outrageously expensive. I believe they were both $140. I also smelled the new Prada for women which was not bad at all.

I was pretty impressed by the Hermes line Pamplemousse & Orange vert but did not purchase again since it was not a bargain at $120 a shot. If they weren't so expensive I would of bought them both.

I decided to purchase a Dolce fragrance after-all which was The One Gentleman. Not that I came impressed with it but I decided it was worth the gamble and the price was right. I will be testing this fragrance out in the next coming months.

Next I was intrigued with the hype over Dior Homme Intense. I really did not think much of it. I know Dior homme is some sort of living legend at the moment for some people but I really was taken with the Intense version because it is a EDP so it's much more potent and you could almost tell right away from first sniff that your getting a much better fragrance IMO. This was a no brainer even thought the price tag was a little high I decided it was a good choice.

That is my day for today.... time to go fly. Good Bye Canada
