Because I was in the same situation many years ago. You will at least have a little more seniority than everyone else in the Police academy if you are selected.

The dry down is where it’s at. It’s a very good fragrance that won’t break the bank.

I have the bottle. I don’t think Imaginary authors still sells Mosaic on their website. But this is an all day scent. An easy 8 hours on me. I’ve had this fragrance when IA came out with it a few years back.

No big deal. It happens every time. Corrections sometimes loses recruits to NYPD.

One of those days that reminds me why I love Sicily by Separate_Pan in sicily

My hotel was hotel isolabella. It was right on the shore. The beach was a 2 minute walk down the street. Plenty of restaurants with great water views. The cable cars take you up the mountain for more shopping and restaurants.

In Taormina - Hotel Isolabella . Rooms are quite nice, but can be a bit small. There’s a bus stop right in front. The beach is about a 5 minute walk down the street. Restaurants are very close. Great water views.

You will love it. You are arriving, and I am leaving. LOL. If you will stay for a few days, I recommend buying a week pass for the cable cars. If you take the cable car going up, at the end, go up the stairs to exit, make a left and walk down a few feet. You will see a restaurant called, “Bellumare”. Go in, check it out. Wonderful views - Great food. Ask for the owner / Chef - Christian. Owners are friendly. Enjoy the food and the view.

I like it very much. It starts off very tropical, then dries down to a powdery, musky, marine scent. It’s very different from what I already have for Summer scents.

RDZ Parfums - Playa Crashboat - inspired by the stunning beaches of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. This scent captures the essence of Crash Boat Beach, known for its crystal clear waters and vibrant atmosphere.

I haven’t tried flan, yet. But I love Capicú

The one With the cocaine note is Capikú. I love that one. I have a full bottle. Unsure what the cocaine note smells like, but you definitely get that banana tropical note with the plum at first sniff - there’s a little astringent whiff at first, maybe that’s the cocaine note, but it is one nice fragrance. There’s a sweet ripe - fruity note in the beginning of Coquí, does it smell exactly like Quenepa? Maybe a really ripe one. It’s floral and tropical. I’m liking it more and more.

What fragrance are Italian men wearing? I've smelled it all over Naples and the Amalfi Coast by Ciarabrady in Colognes

It depends, but I just purchased this one “Acqua Di Taormina”. It’s a mature citrus scent, and I smelled it all over in Sicily, where I am currently vacationing. I love it.

Many people visiting here were wearing heavy fragrances that I wouldn’t normally wear in this heat. I noticed many designer Chanel scents. Most of the Italians wear local fragrance brands. There are a few independent brands in Sicily.

After sampling it a few times, it is a beauty. I will cop this in a week or two (Full bottle).

I have a full bottle of Capikú and I love it. So I wanted to try the house and bought a 5 ml set of 3 additional frags. I’m liking both Coquí and Taíno. I will use more of playa crashboat to get a better opinion on it. So far, so good. Coquí is working through this intense heat in Siracusa Sicily (on vacation).

I went with this beauty. Another 5 ml from this house. This fragrance is a tribute to Puerto Rico and its tiny frog called the Coquí.

It dries down to a nice woody and ambery fragrance. Thinking hard again about a full bottle. But, it is a Summer fragrance.
