It was a Burberry London kind of day... and a Bvlgari Man in Black kind of night.

I have both the cedrat Boise and Burberry London

Burberry London is an amazing cold weather scent. I’ll be breaking that out this winter.

The mancera is very good as well I think. I have a small decant of it. Wish it had a bit more longevity but it’s a very nice scent.

Yesterday was Spocebomb

Today I'm on the fence: CH Men Prive, Terre D'Hermes, or Oud Wood.

Likely TDH or Bleu de Chanel tomorrow

VUI is a solid choice. I love that vanilla dry down.

TdH this morning... possibly Midnight in Paris tonight.

Don't sleep on Bvlgari's Man in Black. It's a more mature, dare I say sophisticated, version of Spicebomb.

Heard good things about midnight in Paris. That’s one I want to try at some point.

I lucked out on getting MiP from the Fragrancex waiting list, but I ordered a 10ml atomizer off eBay to try it first. It's not very masculine (a powdery leather drydown) but I find it soothing.

Happy to get an email from fragrancebuy. Apparently my order was shipped and they upgraded the delivery method. I also ended up getting By the Fire 20% off at Sephora. I wore it Saturday and the performance was pretty good for me. I also ordered the Histoiries de Parfums discovery set. Heard some good things about a few of those, in particular the Amber one.

It is discontinued but there's still limited stock floating around. Individual sellers want silly prices, but it doesn't hurt to go on the waiting list if a legit website still has it listed. I saw it come back in stock twice while I was on the waiting list at fragrancex earlier this year. Grabbed it the second time.

TDH day today.

Tomorrow will be VUI on body and a spritz of my black phantom sample on my hand, just so I can inhale it's epic goodness throughout the work day.
Wed - probably some tres nuit
Thurs - CDNI/Pineapple Demeter beast mode combo
Friday - ode to summer with some Versace Dylan Blue

Gonna break out the wintertime scents in like 4-6 weeks and I'm hoping to cop some TV by then.

I'm impressed that you can lay this out ahead of time. I usually have to glance at the weather forecast, figure out what I'm wearing, and then see what kind of mood I'm in. And even then I may forget what I really intended to spray if I'm rushing to get out of the house!
