Tom Ford Oud Wood today. I'm still not 100% sold on the slightly intense sweetness of oud, but overall it's a nice fragrance. Unfortunately very little staying power, it's 2pm and pretty much non-existent now.
a veteran of the scene like you knows that you need to get a female to do a sniff test, don't go by your own nose if it's been on for a while.A couple more clones on the way.

And
A Halfeti hand and body lotion

I have used this company a few times and been very happy with the product, apparently they use a gas chromatograph to get the recipe, or something.

Managed to source some Next Voyage (100ml) for £25. Next have stopped making this (just like they did with another one I liked, carbon I believe.)
The smell is very like my personal favorite Tom Ford Hombre Leather. Not as powerful or as layered but as a cheap everyday scent, it's really nice. Lasts well and not too potent so great for the office. Really pleased as it smell nicer than a lot of my more designer and expensive aftershaves.

Random thought of the day… does anyone wear any ‘female’ fragrances as a guy? If so, which ones?
I quite like Tom Ford Neroli Portofino.Not sure it fully fits what you're asking as I think it's unisex but often seems to be listed under women's fragrance.
(Tom's Creed Decants sometimes has it available.)

I enjoy wearing Tom Ford Black Orchid EDP, although I think it's regarded as unisex.I also like Montale Intense Cafe, which definitely leans more to the feminine.
For those running low, Jazz Club 100ml is £53 delivered on Notino. One snag, it’s the refill bottle - not sure how to decant it yet but have picked one up.

It looks like you pop the nozzle off the bottle and invert the refill into it, gravity presumably does the rest...https://www.hotukdeals.com/share-deal-from-app/410...
Good idea imo, I've often thought the bottles and packaging of fragrances are somewhat wasteful.

Yes can’t find a video but there’s an instruction - I have some nice atomisers but they require the injection into them - so will find a nice one I can use with a funnel instead. Or might buy a cheap empty bottle if one comes up. Good idea imo, I've often thought the bottles and packaging of fragrances are somewhat wasteful.

Have you tried Noir de Noir?Its super strong and lasts a long time.
Only problem now is some years down the line and further through the bottle it develops a BO like smell after a few hours, I wondered what the random whiff I kept getting was until I read another review on it that mentioned it.
I've since got a bottle of Black Orchid which is very similar intensity but has more sweetness and less BO to it.
Luckily I actually got the 100ml bottle of Noir de Noir for £75 because the website had listed it wrong at the time!
