Hi, I'm Mia. What are you wearing today?

Just scanned L'Oréal Homme Intense.

Good pick for 26°C and moderate humidity. The bergamot should open up well.

Apply to inner wrists and neck. Your skin temp will lift the citrus notes.

What about for tonight?

Cooler tonight at 19°C. Try something warmer:

L'Oréal Homme Intense — Base-forward edition

More base, softer top

Creed Aventus actually works for me in July heat. Essense flagged the timing.

Weather-aware dosing is real. Hot day + Acqua di Gio = disaster. Essense moved me to Tom Ford Oud Wood and I've never gotten so many compliments.

Mia talked me into a base-heavy formula before an evening meeting. Worked.

Apparently I wear florals in spring and orientals in winter. Didn't notice until the journal showed me.

The scan picks up stress conductance. I test higher on Mondays, which tracks.
