What's new

Went sniffing around the Elements showcase yesterday.

Tried Bentley and Bentley intense. Sadly neither is pricey car interior leather and wood burl dash scent. Intense is amber right from the get go and the regular one eventually seems to turn all amber.

Juniper ridge seems to be expanding there product line but I did not notice new scents.

Blackbird showed up with their scents plus scents from 2 friends (Phoenicia Perfumes and one that does not appear on the Blackbird sight). Blackbird's scents were roll ons largely with wood bases. Liked a few, particularly PB (sorry for the abbreviation internal view can think I am talking arms). They also have a shave oil, beard oil, and a minty aftershave. Pheonicia Skin Graft was something that I assumed would be a musk, but was honey, jasmine, and woods. Not too girly for a guy.

Atelier Geste Wild is the Wind and The Good Earth were both Unisex but the top and middle were more impressive than the ultimate drydown.

The Batman scent had a aquatic/ozone vibe that did not seem the dark knight at all. Same company that does the Dita Von Teese scents. Would love to get her honest opinion on this one.

Labaratory Perfumes had some nice unisex sents. Grouse and Samphire that had some citrus, juniper, and oakmoss to it and did not get sweet on me (can't access their website to get more info).

Medittorosa had 3 unisex scents in bottles toppped with metal rocks. Alpha was the lightest and ID was inspired by a lava rock in the sun. Had I had more spots to spritz I may have tried this.

Also attended the Fragrance Republic event on Sunday. 2 - Lime absolute was a unisex favorite. The initial lime start did not thrill me, but once this fades the fig, vetiver, and sandalwood take over. The fig did not oversweeten this. I made me think of rum more than their mojito scent did. Their 5 scent eau vert started out very nice, but after 45 minutes turned to generic sweetness on me.
