I’m not a fan
Another Turin/Sanchez 5-star that I didn't have.
Like it, though not what I expected ...

Shocked at the lack thereof, I must say. Yes, it's awesome and unusual smelling, LT/TS praise it ... but it must have been re-formulated or watered down.
Seriously; I got both this and Kouros this week; Kouros lasts all day/night ... I put on three sprays of Yatagan this morning and I'm looking for it now at lunch. Hello!
I'm certainly not offending anyone with it, and that just defeats the purpose.I suspect from your question @shavefan you have noticed the same thing?

Been reading some reviews, Yatagan might be a blind pick up for me...
It is very interesting stuff ... It really does have a wide spectrum of things going on. There's even a "hash pipe" note! It's not long lasting, but doesn't quite go away ... "Close to the skin" whatever that means. I get that it's a winter fragrance, but rules should serve, not bind.

I'm curious to read your thoughts on Tobacco Oud.
It's what I'm wearing right now actually. It's sweet and woodsy, smells more like a nice pipe tobacco IMO. I'm really liking it so far, and I like it the most out of the three so far.
That's what I picked up when I sampled it at Nordstroms a week ago. Found a good price on a FB the next day and pulled the trigger.
Going to pit this newest acquisition against AdP Fico di Amalfi
Picked up a couple bottles from Zoha aroma....
Bois de Portugal
Bleu de Chanel
Both smell quite nice, more of a fan of the CREED imitation though.... really nice masculine scent. The Bleu would be great on a hot day at the beach, or on a boat.... not what I'd usually wear, although I do quite like it.

Curiosity and an $8 sale tag made me do it.

Colonia EDC splash with the metal atomizer. The quality of the metal atomizer is pretty bad, Logo and font rubs off easily, and its just chrome plated plastic. Really was not expecting such poor quality coming from ADP.
I just received a twin-pack of cologne + aftershave of vintage English Leather. I've dabbed a bit on -- I'm at work and don't want to overdo -- and am still getting the occasional whiff of it 30 min. later. Which is pretty good. The Clubman Special Reserve I normally use seems to fade a lot faster.
Ferrari Radiant Bergamot
Just bought;
15ml of 18B01 CREED Aventus
15ml of CREED Tabarome
15ml of CREED Original Vetiver
30ml of Tom Ford Tobacco Oud
30ml of Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi
Good chance I'm going to pickup a 100ml bottle of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille too. Loving the TF and CREED's....

What are your thoughts? This has caught my eye too.. I love the classic Musk.
If you like the classic this will probably float your boat. It has some pineapple fruitiness (not overpowering) and some powder. It's sweeter than the original musk, but I can still get the DNA of the original.
Oddly enough, I am finding that I like it paired with Henri Et Victoria Cognac and Cubans. Not the same but complimentary to my nose.
