Another excellent step toward forward, Murray. Excellent setup BTW.

Thanks! Nice to be getting back to some sort of routine life, albeit with more work still to come.

Splendid photo, Chris. The lighting does impart a subtle moodiness in tone. Stay safe, my friend.

Appreciated, thank you!

Van Yulay - Chupacabra
Wolf Whiskers | Raptor | Black Wolf
Ever-Ready SE | Gem PTFE (1)

I'm not sure I want to smell like a chupacabra because the fragrances I associate with it are wet cat, musk, dried blood, and castoreum. Fortunately, Van Yulay's Chupacabra is intended to transport you to said creature's stomping grounds.

Chupacabra opens with a soft apple note, and I have no idea where I'm getting that because it's not in the documented notes. The apple actually sustains throughout the shave but relents to nondescript woody notes leaning towards oakmoss. Bitter citrus makes a brief presence before ultimately succumbing to a spicier and darker amber accord with hints of clove and finally a vanilla-esque muskiness. Overall, this is a nice weighty fragrance for the cooler season.
