Bentley For Men Black Edition
It’s a bright, clean, fresh scent with powdery violet in the driver’s seat.
Concocted by perfumer Dorothée Piot (who has made fragrances for Lalique, Amouage, and Olfactive Studio, to name a few), it opens with a scintillating mix of pink pepper, violet, and nutmeg, the perfect prelude to the woody/floral heart of papyrus and jasmine. It is, however, the woody medley of dry woods, moss, and Atlas cedar in the dry down that gives the fragrance its recognizably suave Bentley vibes. Explore exquisite fragrance advice in a delightful space, where scents weave stories.

Dolce&Gabbana The One for Men
If you’re after a warm spicy cologne with a hint of amber, this is The One.
This cologne says: I am a modern, 21st century driven man with early 20th century manners. This is accomplished by its sweet, spicy, aromatic, plush, sexy scent, with a velvety plush aroma of tobacco and amber radiating through a powerful aromatic heart. The grapefruit note is there to make sure the cologne never gives way to being too sweet or too mellow.

Gucci Guilty Pour Homme
Addictive, charming, and loaded with citruses? Guilty as charged.
This bad boy in the perfumery world is actually as smooth and subtle as his seduction technique. Elegant, unique, addictive, with just enough lavender and citruses to inject a dose of freshness to the bewitching, rich trio of cedar, patchouli, and vanilla, you won’t ever get your fill of this Gucci crowdpleaser.

Escentric Molecules Escentric 01
Woody and great on its own, even better when layered with your favorite scent.
The synthetic Iso E Super note acts as a fragrance booster, it improves the fragrance longevity but also heightens each note individually, resulting in a hyperreal experience. It has a woody warm ambery-like aroma that in this composition is paired with powdery iris, spiced up pink pepper, and super tart and fresh Amalfi lemon. Fair warning: Your signature scent is about to be dethroned.

I do not want the same fragrances every month.. I saw where I would get the same ones I have already received.. if that is so please cancel my account.. I want to try new things, plus you guys are so generous (thank you so much), it will take me awhile to go thru the great little atomizers you guys send…
