Some gourmands are all about sweetness. This one takes a different approach. 🍒🍎

Five Missed Calls by Alex Lee Fragrances brings together boozy cherry, juicy apple, and a touch of salty lemon, followed by smooth cinnamon and an oak accord that gives the fragrance a drier, woodier finish.

My take on this scent? Cherry brandy drizzled over a lemon tart with warm, cinnamon-fried apples. Not overly sweet, not quite your typical gourmand. The oak brings everything back down to earth, adding that warmth and depth that makes the whole composition work.

And honestly, I think Alex has a winner here. This is the kind of fragrance I see myself reaching for when the weather cools down, on date nights, or anytime I want something warm, distinctive, and a little different.

A gourmand that leaves an impression long after you’ve left. Fitting for a fragrance called Five Missed Calls. 👌

What’s your take? Are you reaching for gourmands that lean sweet, or do you prefer something with a drier, woody finish?

5 Fragrances That Make You Feel Like a Count. 👑

Inspired by The Count of Monte Cristo, a man whose presence speaks before he ever says a word.

Five settings. Five fragrances. Five sides of the Count.

I. @parfumsdemarly Carlisle | The Private Study

Surrounded by candlelight and old books, Carlisle is the Count’s scent of quiet authority: rich, dark, and sophisticated.

II. @amouroud Oud du Jour | The Grand Ball

Among society’s elite, Oud du Jour brings rich oud, warm spices, and commanding elegance. A scent for nights when first impressions matter.

III. @sphinxfragrances Oceanic Symphony | The Open Sea

At the helm, with the wind in his sails, Oceanic Symphony captures the Count’s adventurous spirit through fresh marine character and refined depth.

IV. @worldofzaharoff Signature Pour Homme | The Mediterranean Afternoon

From a café overlooking the harbor to an afternoon excursion, Signature Pour Homme keeps the Count polished, versatile, and ready for the day ahead.

V. @tomavicci Demigod XXI | The Grand Terrace at Twilight

As the sun sets over his domain, Demigod XXI brings fresh aromatics, elegant florals, and warm woods together in a regal, quietly confident finale.

Five fragrances. Five settings. Five sides of the Count.

Fragrance is more than what you wear. It’s the atmosphere you create and the impression you leave behind.

Which fragrance would you wear if you were the Count? 👑

Explore. Experience. Remember.

Russell’s Reserve Extrait just genuinely impressed me. The balance of bright citrus, rich honey, warm amber, and smooth woods is exceptional, with a sweet, almost intoxicating warmth that gives this fragrance real character.

As the weather cools, this is exactly the kind of scent I want in my rotation. Sophisticated, rich, and perfect for evenings out when you want something with a little more presence.

Credit to @alexleefragrances for the work he continues to put into fragrances like this. The collaboration with @russellreviews_ really came together beautifully, and I think they’ve created something special here.

Definitely one to reach for this fall and winter. 🍂

Every great adventure begins with a quest.

Mine was for a fragrance that brought together the dark sweetness of raspberry, the elegance of rose, and the unmistakable presence of oud. Something refined, confident, and worthy of a gentleman who appreciates the finer things.

Yet the journey proved perilous. So many trails to follow, so many bottles to consider, and no guarantee that the treasure I sought even existed.

Then, buried among the familiar names, I stumbled upon an obscure offering from Lattafa. Rouat Al Oud.

The notes caught my attention. The price at Beautyhouse.com sealed the fate of my coin purse. And with little more than curiosity to guide me, I took the plunge.

When the bottle finally arrived, the gamble had paid off.

A striking opening of raspberry and saffron gives way to an elegant rose, accented by patchouli and geranium. Beneath it all lies a darker foundation of oud, warm amber, cedar, and leather. The sweetness of the fruit meets the depth of the woods, creating a fragrance that feels distinguished rather than flashy, masculine without sacrificing elegance.

This was the character I had been searching for. Not a fragrance that begs for attention, but one that suggests the wearer has nothing to prove.

And the finest part? This little-known treasure came at a fraction of the price I might have expected to pay.

Perhaps the greatest discoveries are not found among the most celebrated names, but along the roads less travelled.

Rouat Al Oud. A perilous blind buy. A rare gem worth the journey.

I think Rayhaan brought back something a lot of people missed when the 2025 release of DHP by Francis Kurkdjian was made.

Rayhaan Obsidian takes me somewhere between classic and modern. The iris comes through beautifully here, giving it that luxurious, powdery character that I think some people missed when the newer interpretation moved in with a more dialed back direction.

But what really works for me is what happens underneath it. The leather, woods, oud and ambrette give it a sweet and resinous, modern finish that keeps the fragrance feeling smooth and wearable like it was intended but not so basic and ambery sweet. It still has that almost ultra male dry down but it just feels more in depth as the iris blends in longer and stronger.

It’s got that classic luxury with the modern take on elegance.

Rayhaan really did a great job with this one. You get that iconic feeling, but at a price that’s much easier to reach for.

Obsidian definitely deserves a spot on the shelf and is going to be a strong contender for the cooler season and nights out.
