What fragrance are you wearing today?

Creed Aventus

Ive been holding off on trying this scent. Its so popular among wet shavers, and Ive always been one to buck popularity, but after putting this stuff on, I have to say I understand WHY its so popular. Very interesting and masculine fragrance...

Creed Royal Mayfair

Not sure about this one. Smells decent but the fragrance isnt as "deep" as I have come to enjoy. Im not aure that makes sense to anyone, but its the only way I can describe it. The scent hits the front of my nose, but doesnt "fill" my sinus cavity the way Aventus or Terre d Hermes does...

Great nose BadDad! You are probably smelling and enjoying the sensation provided by ISO-E Super, which is a molecule present in large quantities in Terre d'Hermes. Interestingly, Aventus has a pricier updated version of ISO-E called Timbersilk.

I don't think Royal Mayfair is dosed with these synthetics as heavily if at all. It's not meant to be a powerhouse, but instead has a subtle aura that is very refined. Aventus is my favorite fragrance, though I do enjoy Royal Mayfair very much. If anyone is interested, I reviewed Royal Mayfaid here.

One of Roja Dove's semi-bespoke fragrances for me today.
