Jajuicy's Sampling samples initial thoughts ( warm weather scents)

Eau Cartier Concentree (Monday morning-afternoon
Scent 7.5/10
Projection 6/10
Longevity 7/10
 I wore this on Monday was surprised by the scent. Opened with a herbal accords smelled invigorating and like walking into a greenhouse. This lasted 30 minutes then there was a spicy amber dry-down.  For the first two hours projection was decent but it abated soon after. This scent lasted a solid 7 hours on me. Good idea to add amber as it adds to the scents longevity. 

Tom ford Noir (Monday Night Dinner) 
Scent 8/10
projection 8/10
Longevity 6/10 
I wore this scent out to a nice restaurant, as it is a very sophisticated and formal scent.  The scent was complex as scents go. It began with a smooth creamy pepper smell, then the dry down was a smoky vanilla. This is not a jovial scent it is serious and dark.  It projected exceptionally well, with two sprays people could definitely smell me. It lasted around six hours. I didn't mind that it didn't last very long because of its stellar projection. 

Tuesday Creed Milisime Imperial
Scent 9/10
Projection 5/10
Longevity 4/10 
To begin with the strong point of this fragrance is the fragrance, the opening is fruity and the dry-down is woodsy. When i did smell it on me it was heavenly. However it only lasted 3 hours at best on me, i had to keep reapplying all day. Other people could not smell me this is a skin scent. Scent is great but performance is lackluster. 

Wednesday Hermes Ambre Mandarine 
Scent 7/10
Projection 5/10 
Longevity 5/10 
This smelled very pleasant when first applied I got a blast of mandarin oranges. In the dry down I got a very sharp amber, not pleasant or smooth very sharp and metallic. I wish Jean Claude Ellena did the amber portion a tad As it would the scent much more appealing. the scent projected ok for the first hour then no one else could smell you, bear in mind this was worn in 90 degree weather and still didn't project well. The longevity life lasted a a meager 5 hours. A linear and light orange mandarin cologne, I'd consider it as an oriental type fragrance. 
Thursday Bleu De Chanel 
Scent 9/10
Projection 8.5/10
Longevity 8/10 
Wow. This takes the cake as my favorite citrus fragrance. Powerful opening of Citrus and Grapefruit. Middle notes of peppermint, Vetiver, and Jasmine. The dry-down is pleasant citrus combined with cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli, and a touch of incense. Males and Females like the smell of this fragrance, and when I wear this it elevates my mood. This scent is a projection beast, people can and will smell you. Unlike other citrus colognes Bleu De Chanel lasts forever, I easily get 8-10 hours on my skin. It is a crowd pleaser while being complex at the same time, and this scent is versatile, can be worn in formal and informal settings. Jajuicy's Favorite of the week!
Friday Aqua Di Gio (O.G. ADG)
Scent 8/10
Projection 8/10
Longevity 7/10
The classic and revered ADG. This scent started the aquatic trend of the 21st century. (That would be Davidoff Cool Water, but this is definitely the trend :) )Everyone and their dad has this scent... so don't wear this if you want to be original.  Opens with citrus and marine accords and settles with patchouli and musk. Projections decently 3 sprays recommended. Lasts around 6-8 hours.
