The first thing I noticed when I sprayed on Byron Parfums 's The Chronic is the ultra-fine mist it produces. I can't say I like it because I feel like I don't get enough from each spray but it just caught my attention.

Time to bring this bottle out of hiding. 2022 Generation Homme is an oriental fragrance from Stephane Humbert Lucas 's main 777 line . I still don't fully understand what an oriental frag is but I'll just take it that this is one. It comes in the brand's standard presentation, the 50ml bottle characterized by that Middle Eastern-inspired, pointy, honeycomb dome cap. It's a handsome-looking bottle that befits its rather steep price tag. Now whether it's worth the price, well, that's relative.

When Areej Le Doré began promoting the release of his 6th Collection some months ago, I consciously dissuaded myself from making any plans of buying. The brand has certainly created a following and the hype surrounding each release has only grown steadily, leaving many a fan frustrated for failing to secure their coveted picks. For instance, Antiquity and War and Peace from his 5th Collection sold out in no time (although I had my chance when he came up with War and Peace II  shortly after). Discovery sets, which were sold alongside the regular 30ml bottles, were rendered useless. I thought I wasn't going to set myself up for disappointment; hence, the conscious indifference.
