Happy Holidays, boyos!
SOTD is Copper Skies by Kerosene. Basically Tobacco Vanille, with a hint of cloves. Smells like Christmas.

Tested my new pump atomizers on this dog **** blind buy I made called Stephane Humbert Black Gemstone. Just wanted to test on a frag I didn't care about before loading it up with the Roja Kuwait as I told you all a few days ago.
Take the train up to my parents' city, hop in uber to their house, walk up to their front porch and hit myself with FIVE sprays of my Kuwait for my grand Christmas Eve entrance annnnnnnd then I realize I grabbed the wrong atomizer and just drowned myself in the horsechit that is Black Gemstone. My older sister (biggest hater ever) was like "EW why do you smell like feet and incense!?"
absolutely rekt me brahs. I made up for it with my Christmas Day SOTD Widian London. But the Black Gemstone had me ALL fuked up.

5ml decant of Versace Eros Flame arrived in the mail today.
I was expecting this to be Eros with a spicy cinnamon opening but I get more citrus than anything in the opening. If possible, imagine Paco Rabanne 1 million but then subtract the spice and the metallic character. That's what Eros Flame is. I'll likely reach for this new year's eve. Don't want to waste niche on a night of debauchery.

No but srsly.... I'm thinking to pick up a bottle of OG 1 million. I have 4 bottles in the store. It smells pretty good. Yes it's synthetic but it still smells good as it dries down. Plus the projection is insane on me.
And it's absolutely not outplayed where I live. K I'm gonna take a bottle tomorrow.

Went into work and got the sample you sent. LOL @ "ghetto packaging"! Thanks brah. Is this the Bortnikoff Bonheur? It smells like a chypre to me on the opening. strong stuff, a drop is projecting off the back of my hand.

You must have accidentally threw out the slip of paper i included. It's THE legendary Musk Rose Attar from Rising Phoenix (https://www.etsy.com/listing/2394263..._1&pro=1&frs=1)
StelaFynn from basenotes wrote
I finally tried his much acclaimed Musk Rose Attar, and it's indeed an amazing rose! The opening phase is such a majestically sweet fruity rose, which oscillates between transparent litchi, tart citrus and jammy plum to me, with a suave honey undertone that I also experienced in some Centifolia rose jam.
Then, the effect of what I think are combined from Hina Musk attar, sandalwood and oud catches on. It’s musky in a clean, comforting, non-animalic/furry/skanky way, with the nutty and buttery aspects of sandalwood and oud respectively to add a bit of heft to the musky effect. There’s sometimes a very soft earthy mossy whisper to complement the discreet green undertone of rose as well.
I started off with a sample, then I bought a gram, now i'm struggling not to purchase a full 3gram tola.Then, the effect of what I think are combined from Hina Musk attar, sandalwood and oud catches on.

Let's GIT it boyos!![/QUOTE]Chiraq crew checking in. I revisited my tiny Aventus decant. Ran out to get some coffee this morning after i sprayed. In the elevator i was like "damn... I get it" but when I got outside it didn't develop or give me the quality aromas i've come to enjoy from Roja and some of my more artisnal chit. Then again, I just think it was a poor selection for brisk/rainy weather to begin with.
Would be tempted to get a 10ml decant and keep as a bar/club fragrance if i hadn't already smelled it multiple times in the wild.

Every time I think or try to "get" Aventus, I end up relatively indifferent towards it. I just broke it out a week or two ago for lulz and it was the same chit. The only Roja I have was a dun goof when I bought the parfum version thinking it would be like the EDP, just more better.... boy was I wrong. I turn to Slumberhouse or Kerosene or hell, even Etat Libre d'Orange when I want artsy fartsy artisinal chit.
Besides, I don't know how much I trust a guy like this to make my perfume:

I'm indifferent to it as well. Like I said, "I get it" but only for going out and it is the de facto going out scent for every one else so it is therefor useless to me. I'm just saying I at least see why a demographic who predominantly rocks armani code/spicebomb/etc might think it the King of frags. The REAL copers are the dudes that bought full bottles of Viking. Probably the most mediocre release ever.
You have to watch out for Roja as it is like every other perfume house. For every gem, there are two or three chitty frags. Guys like to blind buy partials of Fetish, Scandal, Danger, etc when they go up on the frag groups cause they're the cheapest ones. They can be outright chitty though. If you want the guaranteed gems of Roja, you've gotta get your hands on Vetiver, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Aoud, Amber Aoud, or Elysium. It's a coin toss on everything else, and NEVER pay full price for a Roja.
