Gentleman of the Summer
ADG is an herbal aquatic fragrance that exudes class and is the apex gentleman of the line. I understand that more people may think the discontinued Profumo is better. It is a great scent. However, IMO the ADG Parfum is more versatile and aromatic fragrance. It provides a fresh bergamot opening that is quickly anchored with aquatic notes. It moves towards notes of sage and rosemary in the mid. The dry down consists primarily of soft woods.
ADG is safe for anytime, any place and for any season. It will shine best in office settings or the spring/summer. It is not beast mode but is not a pushover either. It will last 6-8 hours and project for the 1-2 hours.
If you like aquatic scents with aromatics you will love this. A much improved version over the classic EDT and a far more versatile edition compared to Profumo.

Boss Bottled Absolu on Amphetamines
Azraq is a honey laced incense bomb that is absolutely fantastic. It is close cousin to Honey Aoud by Montale and the classier brother to Boss Bottled Absolu.
Upon your first spray you’ll be greeted with a sweet blast of honey and a subtle oud. As it transition you’ll be embraced by incense and sweet amber. The vanilla will linger in the background to provide some depth. Upon full dry down the incense and amber take center stage with some leather singing in the background chorus.
Be warned, this fragrance is legit beast mode in both longevity and projection. It will project a solid 8 hours and it can be smelled on the skin after 18 hours.
If you enjoy Boss Bottled Absolu you will love this middle eastern banger.

Quality Fragrance for a Great Price
This fragrance is top notch for people that enjoy the Aventus DNA mixed with a little leather, sweetness and anchored by some oak moss. It both projects and lasts a solid 8-10 hours on skin. For the price, you get quality juice that will garner compliments and get you noticed. The best part is you will enjoy the smell.
Personal Mount Rushmore
Drakkar Noir holds many memories from the late 80’s to early 90’s. It was there for so many firsts it would be challenging to list them all.
In its day it was an absolute powerhouse in both performance and scent. Drakkar Noir was a bold lavender/barbershop focused masculine scent that exuded confidence and sex appeal. It had longevity and projection that could rival other barbershop style fougeres and the animalistic monsters of the 1980’s.
Although it no longer has the roar of the mighty jungle lion, it is still a winner in terms of being a mature scent that smells like an experienced man that has seen much, but still has the juice to climb mountains in life.
Drakkar Noir will always have a place on my personal fragrance Mount Rushmore, and I still visit the monument from time to time to experience its majesty.
Give it a try and experience a classic fougere.

Distinguished Gentleman and Boss
Sincerely stating, Lunar Vetiver is what Tom Ford hoped to achieve with Grey Vetiver EDP.
Lunar Vetiver starts out with a sharp citrus note infused with the perfect amount of pimento that invigorates the mind. After about an hour to two hours it begins the transition to an herbaceous scent balanced with some sweetness reminiscent of a slight vanilla accord. After a few more hours it produces a beautiful combination of tobacco and vetiver while still keeping some of the top notes—lingering in the background.
Overall, this is an outstanding vetiver fragrance that exudes class and stands out as an exemplary executive office level scent. If you want to be a boss with class and style pick up a bottle bring that energy for all to witness.
