The Mrs reckons it smells like hot cross buns haha.

Starts off spicy pepper cloves but with an airy feel to it.

Dry down is a bit more smoky with some rose, vanilla, almond kind of thing.

Quite unusual and smells really lovely. Make sure you go for the parfum, I’ve not tried the edp

Ordered a 30ml of 1981X Inspired by Xerjoff XJ 1861 Naxos from Alexandria. I’d had the 10ml travel spray and can’t get enough of it. Just amazing!

Brill. I’ve just re-ordered the Black Panther.

How does it compare to Naxos?

Will ordering a Black Panther later on towards summer, really loved that.

This one is lovely vanilla, honey, tobacco compared to the orange/lemon sweet/citrus vibes of BP. Quality is amazing, lasts forever.

Was trying to get hold of Insidious inspired by OG Aventus from Luxeparfum but it’s sold out so hopefully they’ll do another run?

Alexandria do a dupe of Aventus called Brasilia 13zz01. I’ve not tried it personally but the reviews seem positive. Might be worth investigating if you can’t get Insidious.

So I’m now a SHL convert.

Just sampled God of Fire (again, just to make sure), Sand Dance, Soleil De Jeddah, and Black Gemstone, and I want them all!

Wasn’t the Armani discontinued? I’ve been looking for a fresh supply for a few years, such a classic product…

Soleil de Jeddah I really love, it certainly won’t be for everyone though that one

Try eBay and the like for the Armani - I picked up a bottle on Vinted just the other month.

Was going to say the same. The vintage bottles with the black trim are richer, but the more recent bottles are still decent.
