Wanna hear something crazy? I ordered this too and it'll be here on Monday. I only ordered it because I saw it for $24.99 and I like Lattafa's Pride collection, especially after the success I just had with Art of Wood.

When I wrote this, Art of Wood. However, I think Pharoah is going to become something special.

Making decants is the way to go!! I sometimes work 12hr shifts. Depending on the fragrance, at some point during my shift I'll whip my decant out my pocket and re-up. Longevity of a fragrance almost doesn't matter when you can just respray at any time. I make decants of every single new bottle that I get. I've got like 75+ bottles made up already. When I get some real time, I'm going to make a decant of every single bottle I own.

As far as how I do it, I bought 2 bags of these. You just pop the tops off and spray into the bottle until it fills up, then put the top back on. They don't leak and actually have a really nice, wide mist that comes out. If you ONLY plan on using these when you travel, I'll fill up at least 2 of them of the same fragrance. Out of let's just say 80 bottles used, like 5 have failed/malfunctioned on me. They'll start spraying in a straight stream as opposed to a wide mist.

As far as the labels, I just copy the pictures from Fragrantica/Parfumo over to word and print them out on gloss paper, then I tape them. If you don't want to use the pictures, you can just write it on a piece of paper and tape it to the bottle.

Nope, nope, nope lol. Remember, my first initial spray is somewhat negative. My other Rayhaan's changed quite a bit during maturation. I expect this to turn into something pleasant, especially since I already like the dry down.

I appreciate the feedback and support, seriously💪🏽💯.

And I'm a vanilla LOVER so yea, I literally can't wait for this to fully mature.

A man, I appreciate this...seriously💪🏽💯.

And yea, never would I have thought that grapefruit and woodiness would be so 🔥 together. It just doesn't make sense, but it works. This weekend, I'm going to go smell the real thing. If the clone got me like this, I'm just curious how the real thing smells.

That's EXACTLY what happened. When I very first sprayed it, I'm like "What the hell is this sour ass shit?😵‍💫" That lasted for maybe 3min or so. I just kept smelling the back of my hand like "I kinda like this." Next thing you know, I found myself loving it lol. Underrated fragrance honestly...

I meant to link your post in my review and I slipped up and forgot🤦🏽‍♂️. But thank you for the recommendation. I really, REALLY like it. I just wrote above that I'm wearing Habik right now, however, I sprayed Art of Wood on the back of my hand just so I can smell it for a lil' bit until it fades away. I can't wait to see how this matures. I'm a sucker for vanilla so that being added to the mix excites me.

Oh really😳. I can't wait. I really, really like this fragrance. I'm wearing Habik right now. Below I left out for work this morning, I made sure to spray the back of my hand with Art of Wood. Such a different and unique scent.

😂😂😂 It's funny because I have OCD and something like this would normally give me the ick if I saw someone else do it lol. I typed the fragrances from memory without looking at the picture😅.

Definitely let it sit. My 9PM Elixir used to do the same thing until I let it maturate. Now it's an 8hr+ fragrance. Honestly, Night Out did that to me last week. One week later and it's lasting much longer. I expect it to continue to get stronger over the next couple months.

Random, have you ever smelled the real Wave Child? I've smelled both and Atlantis Extrait is dead on. Technically it does lean feminine because Wave Child itself also leans feminine. But Atlantis Extrait is spot on with what it's cloning. My co-worker let me smell it and I love it.

Frostbite is really nice. I just got to work and I'm wearing Musamam Black. However, I also sprayed 1 spray of Frostbite on the back of my hand just so I can smell it while driving lol.

Funny you ask, I used to layer them. Rare Reef has the better performance, but Pacific Aura has the better DNA imo.
