No special challenge for me, but I hope everyone who attempts it has good weather.
Smokey Grapefruit smells just like it sounds. Grapefruit is the main scent, with a smokey background similar to what you might smell with tinned smoked herring. Probably a "liquid smoke" type of smoke scent.
Grapefruit is a citrus, so that's my argument for being on theme.
Relevent post-shave and frag: Aqua Velva Ice Blue is a really nice aquatic scent with a hint of menthol. Perfect for summer. G. Bellini Homme is a cheap knockoff of Dior Sauvage I got from Lidl. I'll leave it to the judges discretion, because the fragrantica page for Sauvage doesn't really make it sound citrusy, although bergamot is a top note. This knock-off is a citrus bomb to my nose.
