First impression, fresh out of the box today. This is an absolute winner—a rare, true four-season tobacco that shifts effortlessly from crisp winter air to summer heat. The star here is a photorealistic, clean pipe tobacco. Rather than leaning overly dense, rich, or cloying, it carries a distinct top-note brightness that keeps the composition airy and elevated. Think of it as a lighter, refreshed cousin to Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille (though take the comparison with a grain of salt, as it's been about a year since I last nose-tested TF TV Definitely worth a sample if you're looking for a versatile tobacco profile that skips the standard heavy-handed honey.

Brothers, what a week! Before I left on vacation I wanted something light and sexy for a girl to snuggle up with. I accidentally found a tester of (the discontinued) Dior's Homme Eau For Men on the shelf of my local pharmacy. I had to buy a bottle at full retail, and make a $5 donation to get it. I bought Prada’s Paradigme EDT. My date sucked, so i took my neice out perfume shopping instead of a 2nd date. She fell in love with JPG's new "Divine Couture" and I with Terre d'Hermès EDT. Instead of paying retail, I bought them at discounters for a fraction of the price, and added Lattafa's Khamrah Qahwa to the order (Supersale, blind buy purchase.) (And taught my niece the value of bargain hunting. She was spending her own hard earned $ and I saved her $60 on her buy) Today, I finally added Bleu De Chanel to my collection. 5 new bottles in about a week! Dior Homme Eau for Men Prada Paradigme EDT Terre d'Hermès EDT Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa Bleu De Chanel EDP (Im more impressed with what I didnt buy! Ive now had my nose on all the Tom Ford, Louis Vuitton, Creed, and Xerjoff... somehow I didn't give into temptation and stuck to true bargains) Big week. Im not sure im done shopping yet, but unless I find Adventus or Godolphin on sale im probably not getting any more frags for a bit.
