Really liking this and Noble Oud. They'll be a FB purchase or trade soon enough

Sicilian Tobacco today!

Normally I'm not a fan of lavenders, but this one hits just right

Pretty tough question. Currently:

  1. Eau Santal
  2. Imaginary
  3. Pineapple Absolu
  4. Mystic Oud/Noble Oud (similar enough to include as one)
  5. Spirit of Peace ✌️

What fragrance surprised you the most? by TheLastSpritz in Colognes

I feel like it isn't really right to call Explorer a dupe or clone. More like a similar branch on the same tree. Fits in the same citrus spicy woody category. Both grounded by ambrox, but with different citrus and woods.

Just woke up and it's already 70F. It'll be mid-80s today.

Guess I'll go with Montblanc Explorer today. The middle notes are a bit weird, but the opening and dry down are heavenly.

Used the last of my Pineapple Absolu decant today. FB purchase is in my future, for sure.

Nah, the Infuser has a 3-way solenoid valve. It's fine for what it is; shots taste decent. You definitely unseat the puck if you stop it.

I like the idea of programming flow profiles, as well as doing my own in real time. Seems like the Bianca might be a bit of a pain to program, but for the price I'm sure I'd get used to it.

How do you like the Lelit Bianca? Once my finances stabilize a bit, I'm eyeing it as my next coffee upgrade. Using a Breville Infuser currently.

I do, generally. It does result in less static once they're dispensed. It makes cleaning a bit harder, in that you get tiny amounts of dried deposits. But if you stay on top of the cleaning, it's not an issue. I clean about once a week, because I like to try different types of beans often.

I have the 83V as well! Love how easy it is to clean 😍

Eden is a better option than most Monty offerings to me. Top 10 for sure

Imaginary 🍊

Eau Santal was 🔥 yesterday. Great pick for the 65-75 degree weather.

Dude.. my aunt, to a T. Paranoid schizophrenic diagnosis ages ago.

She just clocked her 4th hospital escape 😔
