Guidance is utterly captivating! The unexpected combination of classical french perfumery, gourmand elements, an omani incense core and ultra polished modern molecules is wildly successful and unique, it wows me every time i smell it.
The bottle and whole aesthetic is overtly femme, indeed i would love to smell it on women, but this stuff is a compliment cheat code on me. I haven't been able to wear it a single time without compliments from dazzled recipients of my extravagant sillage, so i suggest any confident men try this for themselves, the scent itself is universal.
I place this on the same lofty pedestal as ganymede, not in terms of smell, but in terms of creativity, ingenuity and courage, in short, to me it's a masterpiece.

Summanus is a moody indulgent gourmand through and through, sophisticated and delicious! It opens with sweet candied spices, orange, bergamot and pine, fizzing and electric coca-cola for thirty glorious minutes. The heart is pure luscious booze, dripping with enough jammy rose damascena, jasmine and ambery cognac, to ease one into the nights activities. The base is gourmand woods, giving the impression of a creamy boozy layer cake with a dusting of fine powdered cacao.
All of the deliciousness is presented behind a classy, dark and adult filter.

Room filling performance and sexy on both genders (slight masculine bias), Summanus is stunning.

This is a masterful reworking of Habit Rouge that has exceeded my expectations, it's simply a 10/10 fragrance!

I love the original HR edt, but there is no denying it can at times feel from another age, and require a particular mood and effort to confidently flaunt its dandy powdered citrus and rose.
Rouge Prive stays true to the original in smell and structure, but does so in a way that makes the wear effortless and imbues confidence, rather than demanding confidence.

Essentially, the hazy powdered filter has been toned down and detailed clarity conferred to the individual notes which gives a modern sheen to the composition.
Additionally, the Guerlinade vanilla has been amplified and aspects of the delicious HR Dress Code included, the leather is slightly amplified and modernized which gives a more masculine edge, and the drydown shines with a crystalline airy clean patchouli, almost boozy spirit vapor like, which made me think STHE. Finally the molecules themselves feel higher quality and have a particular fullness and richness that is just outstanding.

A perfect flanker that in my opinion improves the original.

Vici Leather is an outlandishly opulent and impressive leather chypre which immediately subverts expectations as the wormwood and pink pepper combine for an illuminated green and boozy open which is curiously and delightfully fresh. The cinnamon provides a contrasting sweet and warm glow upon which the smoky and supple brown leather and indolic tuberose dance beautifully for prominence. Eventually the leather is victorious, hence Vici Leather, however the green mentholic ghost of tuberose never fully disappears. Finally a comforting and delectably sweet, smoky and resinous amber envelopes the composition.

The quality of this blend and materials used is truly second to none, the first thing that struck me when smelling it, is how non-commercial and artisanal it feels. Artisanal in its ability to evoke nature, places, memory and emotion, but without any of the drawbacks of many artisanal creations such as subpar blending and short lived naturals.

Amongst the seemingly endless 'inspired by' niche releases that have nothing authentic to say, Vici Leather is an original creation that confidently nods at the grand chypre of yesteryear while remaining wearable and contemporary. It is sensual, bold, loud, daring unisex for both genders, never boring and a resounding victory.

Picture yourself secluded in nature, it's an unusually chilly summer night and you're wearing your favorite leather jacket to keep warm. The sky is clear, there's no light pollution as you gaze at the sparkling heavens inhaling the exhilarating cold air. You notice the smell of the surrounding leafy plants letting out the last of their sun drenched warmth, the raspberries you're eating and the warm crackling embers, you feel invigorated and grateful to simply experience such natural beauty, that is Aquila Absolute.

The aromatic cardamom and natural raspberry produce a sweet fizzy aldehydic fruit open that has a red ombre effect. The mid is all about vibrant and verdant leafy geranium, perfectly sweetened by fresh rose. The red open and soapy green mid alchemically combine to produce an alluring and beautifully blended blue smell. This blue smell is supported by a clean smoky oud and soft leather base that is illuminated by ozonic violet leaf which keeps the whole experience on the fresh and uplifting side, while providing the perfect amount of dark smoky gravitas.

Initially I was expecting a different experience from the gorgeous blue bottle, it took me a few wears to understand this lustrous potion. A few wears later and it has fully revealed itself, now I absolutely adore it's natural approach to a mass appealing highly versatile unisex fragrance.

Update - continues getting better and better, this is one of the best new things I've smelled in a while!
