Dark Leather was a HUGE dissapointment for $150 bucks retail. I so wanted it to be a leather powerhouse bomb. But, it wasn't. I get better leather performance out of Afro Leather for $19 bucks than I did the Dark Leather. SAD SAD SAD.

You wore a lot of dope ones this week 40 knots is one of the few fragrances I’d call a masterpiece. Heard mix reviews on that spicebomb definitely wouldn’t mind trying that or the Mango Aoud. My rotation was Sunday: D&G The One layered w Aquca Di Gio Absolu Monday: Versace Pour Homme Tuesday: Armaf CDNIM Wednesday: Turathi Blue Thursday: Moschino Toy Boy Friday: Turathi Blue Saturday: Jean Lowe Immortal
Thanks again for the weekly rotation Brother! I'm one of those who was just disappointed by the Dark Leather more than anything... not hating on it at all, I think Infrared EDP just set my expectations too high. Fully agree it's got it's situations, they just missed my nose with the drydown. Have a great evening, man!
It is unfortunate but Gritti's Mango Aoud only smells like the "mango snow cone" for a few seconds in the opening. Then it's just a fruity shampoo for me. So happy I sampled it. There are some that I tried that I think you will really like. Rebellion, Pomelo Sorrento are two easy summer ones. Ones that are interesting, in a I have never smelled that kind of way was, Kill the lights. This week's rotation was Mon: Lucianno's Coastal Breeze Tue: Mancera's Cedrat Boise Wed: Fragrance World's Aether Thu: Mancera's Cosmic Pepper Fri: Xerjoff's Mefisto Sat: Montale's Wood & Spices Sun: Xerjoff's Renaissance
Thanks for your videos! Always interesting, appreciate your honest and personal view about frags! I'm very curious to smell dark leather! Ciao from Italy! 👋👋🇮🇹
Hey Ross, I was convinced from the note breakdown I would really enjoy 40 knots. I was so close to blind buying. I got a sample and boy was I disappointed. It smelt to me like a powder bomb. I like powdery fragrances usually to me it was powdery baby wipes. Probably the most disappointed I’ve ever been with a fragrance. Thank goodness I followed your sample first advice Ross. Amazing how subjective fragrances are.
Price aside, Spice Bomb Dark Leather is exactly what I want from a leather scent. Leather fragrances shouldn’t blow everyone else out of the room, they should be a personal pleasure you share more intimately. Thanks for that perspective Ross.
Weekly rotation is my shit! We matched again this week with Vibrant Summer (on Tuesday for me). I also wore Signature Citrine EDP. Beastly fragrances definitely have their place, as do average performers. I work 12-hour shifts and prefer longevity/sillage over crazy projection, although they tend to go hand in hand. My Spicebomb Extreme bottle used to leak around the collar, but now it's all good. No issues with Infrared EDP. (knock on wood)! 🍻 Sunday - City Rhythm Puerto Rico -- (Night) Maison Alhambra Bright Peach Monday - Michael Malul x Gents Scents Terra Nova -- (Night) Rabanne Invictus Aqua 2024 Tuesday - Tommy Hilfiger Vibrant Summer -- (Night) Sphinx First Date Wednesday - Sphinx Emerald Mirage -- (Night) Fomo Parfums The Envy of Fomo Thursday - Zaharoff Signature Citrine -- (Night) Armaf Club De Nuit Milestone Friday - Authenticity Perfumes Summer Vibez 5.0 -- (Night) Rasasi Shaghaf Pour Homme Saturday - Moschino Toy Boy -- (Night) Paco Rabanne 1 Million
Picking up 40 knots this week and super intrigued by Gritti Mango oud! Was so excited for dark leather and like you it did not meet my expectations. The thing is though I was so excited to buy it but wanted to try it first and I didn't get close to 5hours. Maybe it was a fluke on the day but I was shocked how quick it disappeared off my skin. I will try it again as I enjoyed the opening but it didn't last. Definitely not a performance whore and different fragrances have different purposes however for that money I *need* to be able to smell it myself after an hour otherwise I don't see the point.
is it weird to say spicebomb leather actually dry's down to the same sent as (the lovely) tuscan leather?? your review of it was spot on.. this one would be better for a date then the loud tuscan leather now i understand why woman like la nuit de l'homme EDT.. cause its not loud thx for that missing puzzle pice
SB DL isn't bad, just gotta wait for the price to go down tbh. Again, hating something is not the way it should go 100% of the time or even 50%, just gotta adjust one's perspective imho. Also... RM #3... sheeesh that stuff is insane xD
I used to be a performance whore at first when I started to "Know" about fragrances. But now 4-5 hours is good enough for me, especially when the fragrance smells FREAKING AMAZING! I also wear Rue 21 fragrances that last only 3 hours or less 😂. So I might go after this Spicebomb 🔥 I love dark fragrances.

I find longevity is more of a factor for me than projection. When I’m at the club throwin down I need a beast, but day to day? I dig longevity more.

Can u review all the spicebomb line in one video ?

Definitely not a performance whore and different fragrances have different purposes however for that money I *need* to be able to smell it myself after an hour otherwise I don't see the point.
The performance whore comment is entertainment. I mention all the time for people to not take everything so seriously
@@TLTGReviews I know man , I totally know it's a joke. I found it funny, it was just lost in my response in text! I'm here for the humour! 👊
@@TLTGReviews speaking of performance whores though I just put a good 6 sprays of Amouage Interlude on and cleared the house 🏠 💪
good lord lol
Gotta give some love to 40 Knots! Have you tried Ivory Route, or any others from the JTC collection Ross? If so what are your thoughts?
Nice list. I love 40 knots. Need to try gritti mango aoud.
Gritty Mango sure sounds like a good one definitely have to get myself an decant good morning ross
