My perfume collection - Short reviews of all of these

My perfume collection - Short reviews of all of these

Hey everyone! I am 30M and I live in Bangalore. I have made use of the fact that it is not as hot as the rest of the country in general and I do tend to stay in AC even then. I also travel to europe quite a lot so naturally I have a lot of fragrances which are supposed to be more suited to the cold weather. So a short review of all of these is as below :-

Sauvage Elixir - It is very spicy and woody, I personally love it and wear it when I am going to be out all day because it lasts that long. It is a ‘black trench coat with chelsea boots walking in a winter evening’ vibe

TF Ombre Leather EDP - The cleanest and I wanna say freshest leather fragrance I have smelled. I usually wear it when I am wearing leather jackets and doc martins with bootcut jeans. But it can be worn even in warmer weather in the evenings. Lasts about 8 hours for me.

Fahrenheit Le Parfum - Another one with amazing performance, easily 10 hours on skin with great projection for 2 hours. It is not something which everyone will like but I wear it for parties and going out for dinner with friends. Love the suede leather and vanilla combo on it.

TF Grey Vetiver EDP - This is my office fragrance. Very clean and sophisticated and lasts around 6 hours for me. This one is India summer friendly but won’t project too much.

Spicebomb extreme - This one is a gift and is the most recent so I haven’t tried it much yet. It does smell strong and very spice forward as the name suggests. Should be a great scent for winters when going out.

Sauvage EDP - This one I have used quite a bit and I love it! It is masculine, clean, fresh, and very versatile. Works well in Indian summer too. I will definitely refill it.

UCB colors black intenso - This one I bought on a whim because the bottle looked cool. Smells great, it is also spicy woody and smells a bit rich and dark. Doesn’t last more than 2 hours though.

Ferragamo Spicy Leather - Again, something spicy with leather. I love the saffron note on it along with suede leather.

Vince Camuto Terra Extreme - This one is a warm, boozy, gourmand fragrance and it is the favourite of my girlfriend. I am very proud of the fact that it is my find and it was quite affordable as well. I wear it for date nights.

lhomme Ideal EDP - This one again is something very unique with cherry and almond notes. I layer it with dior homme sport and it smells heavenly. I wear this for formal settings in the evening.

ADG EDP - I love the freshness and well, I needed something for Indian summers anyway. It lasts around 6-8 hours for me which is great. Also, I don’t like fruity fresh much so this is what I call marine fresh.

Gentleman Reserve Prive - This is the only Iris fragrance I have. Also a bit boozy and with vanilla. This was also a gift from my girlfriend so this is also a date night perfume for me.

Dior homme sport - Well, a fresh fragrance which I can wear whenever I want. It is EDT but still lasts for about 6 hours for me. This is for casual days out.

That’s about it, let me know what you all think and also which ones I should try or pick next.

Journey of the first watch

Hey everyone! I finally bought my first proper watch and it had to be the SMP300 in the end.
I looked at many options including the Tag Heuer Aquaracer, Tudor Black Bay, even the speedy but I couldn’t get the SMP300 out of my mind.
In my opinion it is the best diver watch currently on offer all things considered.
I looked at the black and the seaweed colours as well but something about the white dial just makes me keep looking at it! It also helps that this thing is a strap monster 😁
As I said, my first proper watch and hopefully first of the many to come 😄

Grail watch acquired

All right so here is a major milestone! I was saving up for a long time and I finally have what I believe is the best dive watch in the world!
The SMP was on my mind ever since I saw it for the first time and I was looking at the blue and the seaweed colours as well but in the end I loved the white dial and how it interacts with sunlight and the pattern on it is also just so amazing to look at!
This is my first proper luxury watch and I hope this is just the start 😁
