So I blind bought the new release by Michel Germain "Tattoo". Not to be confused with the orginal Tattoo released back in 2009. They are totally different fragrances. With that being said this 2020 release has similarities to Invictus. In the opening it's very fruity and where I get that Invictus vibe. But as it dries down that's where it takes a different route. The nutmeg, sandalwood and amber becomes more noticeable. Though the amber is more dominant and I love amber notes! It's a nice scent but done way to many times. The bottle is nice though. Performance is decent. I got 8 hours on my skin with 2 hours of projection. This one to me is definitely more for the fall, winter and cooler spring seasons.

This is a sexy fragrance! A hidden gem that not to many people know about. Probably might have to do with it being only exclusively to their website. It's a shame because people need to know about this fragrance! It's such a nice classy, masculine scent. In the opening you get that blast of grapefruit followed by the rosemary and bergamot. As begins to dry down the tonka and lavender (which the lavender becomes more dominant) takes over. As it becomes closer to my skin the musk and cedarwood becomes noticeable. I did get some amber but it was more in the background. Performance is pretty decent as I got about 8 hours on my skin with a couple of hours of projection. IMO this is perfect for date night in cooler weather.  Mainly the spring and fall season. ??

This smells amazing! Ferragamo Oud by Salvatore Ferragamo was launched sometime early 2020! It was totally under the radar! It was only exclusive to the Middle East and parts of Europe. This was a total blind buy and it is another slam dunk! This is a pretty strong and spicy fragrance! In the opening that tobacco, rum and the spices really hits you in the face! For the spice note if I had to guess what spice it is I'd say cumin? As it begins to dry down the leather and tuberose becomes more noticeable. I do get a little iris but more in the background. In the full dry down the benzoin, tonka and the guaiac wood come out to shine. Performance is very decent! I got 9 to 10 hours on my skin with about 3 hours of projection. I think this has become my favorite from Salvatore Ferragamo now! Love the bottle btw!??
