Telluride

This is my go-to winter fragrance, as I think the warmth of the leather scent is complemented by cold air. I live in Colorado and it gives me the mountain town, cool, crisp air kind of vibe. I think it's a sexy scent that can be worn during the day, but I prefer it for evening events.

This is nothing particularly special, but it is beautiful. It's leathery and spicy, and there's an appealing musky sweetness. This checks so many stereotypically masculine boxes, and yet I find it to be really beautiful on me, especially when layered with softer florals. And make no mistake, this is a scent that begs to be layered, lacking much distinction on its own terms other than a well-chosen, well-blended melange of fairly typical notes. Abbott NYC doesn't do "unique", but I find their scents to be sturdy and reliable creations.

A nice simple and comforting fragrance. I find myself reaching for this when I don't know what I want to wear. Telluride has a dry and almost dusty ambience which I enjoy. On my skin the amber shines through especially on the dry-down, and I can smell hours after a couple of sprays. Ultimately, I cannot say that I am in LOVE with this scent, but I can say it's a nice middle of the road, which I enjoy!

Got the samples in yesterday and currently testing them. I actually like this one pretty well. Reminds me of Prada Luna Rossa but just a bit more bitter. Real nice longevity and pretty decent sillage. Nothing too unique and doesn't really evolve very much. 6.5/10

My second favorite from the collection. Spicy and soapy - maybe a touch of something bitter. Not sweet. I've smelled this before, but I'm drawing a blank on what it was. Anyway, nothing earth shattering. Good scent for a designer price. Very masculine. 6/10
