Scent of The Day

Well, I do! I have Blenheim Bouquet, Endymion, Castile, and Bayolea. I love the way they craft their scents to balance fresh notes with slightly heavier wood/spice notes. Understated, classic, yet paradoxically current.
Always keen to hear comments/reviews on other Pen fragrances.
Having owned Sartorial, Vaara, Blenheim Bouquet and Endymion I'm glad to say I've tried a number of Pens fragrances. :D @Blademonkey is now the lucky owner of Vaara, Sartorial I can't remember who I sold onto (formed a tremendously acrid note on my skin), kept hold of BB and Endymion.

@Oomer - well worth scouting for a bottle of Endymion, especially if you like some sweet fragrances. BB is wall-to-wall citrus and absolutely gorgeous for the warmer weather! :D If I get any more sample bottles in the near future I'll loft some your way :)
 
Dior Leather Oud on top of the lingering Agarwood from Manuel's soap, because man frag.

One for @Benz3ne

Can I simply melt a tub of unscented Grooming Dept Mallard and pour a load of Dior Leather Oud in for man soap?
You'd probably be better off grating it up or scraping it out bit-by-bit, pour in a small amount of Leather Oud to the grated bits, leave it soak while closed until the soap swells up and takes on most of the fragrance/alcohol. Thereafter leave it slightly unlidded and you should lose some of the ethanol before the fragrance really dissipates. It'll dry out a bit more then. Removal of ethanol would be a good thing, it tends to disagree with lather. Melting it would probably take it above the boiling point of ethanol (78deg C) so you could get some flash evaporation which would likely take more scent with it than the aforementioned.

Alas, Leather Oud scented soap. :)

Try with a little bit first in a small tin I reckon.

I'll get some in and give it a shot, about 30ml of LO should do it :confused: cheers
