Classy, spicy blend, signature scent-ish
DGAF is my first try of the house of Borntostandout, via their Dark & Drunk Discovery Set, purchased at Twisted Lily, a spicy blend of incense, pepper, sandalwood, rose, musk, sage, and bergamot, a bit fresh, green, warm, and resinous, but mostly spicy and woody, really a classy, versatile blend that, while more apt for cooler weather in terms of its spiciness is still pleasant enough and not too heavy for year-round wearing. It’s sophisticated, feels a bit reminiscent of some classics, while still being a bit modern and provocative, very nicely put together. I immediately regard it as an apt cold weather signature scent, perhaps a little masculine stereotypically but overall pretty unisex. I recall seeing one source describe it as an aromatic fougere but I wouldn’t quite call it a fougere, myself.
As with the rest of the line, DGAF is EDP concentration and priced at $210 for 50ml, sold via a few boutiques / shops in the US like Ministry of Scent and Max Aroma. Overall it’s a great first impression of the house, even though it was seeing Drunk Maple that first drew me to the line. DGAF performs well and is very useful and classy, and the pricing is fair enough for current nice perfumery, but it’s not cheap, considering that something Robert Graham Valour accomplishes a similar result, in my opinion, whilst being much more modestly priced. I wish a travel size were available for further testing / less volume, but I’ll have to consider this one some more, though it is quite great, overall.
