Re: Polo Red, White and Blue

Yeah I will agree, its a softer Polo Blue with a few added touches. We at Macy's expect it to sell tremendously and are buying hundreds of bottles. At the counter however, Polo Blue is still edging...

Re: What is the turnover like in stores such as Sephora & Ulta ?

No joke, its like they are advertising the shiny crystal bottle and the juice color rather than the actual fragrance.

Re: Jaipur Edt and Jaipur Edp!!

I also have heard about how much better the EDP is than the EDT, and the EDT is pretty nice as well. But Jaipur is such a rich and thick fragrance, I wouldn't consider buying the EDT. I've recently...

Re: Your "Enough is Enough!" fragrance.

Same here, after I came across TdH I just stopped my buying and swapping spree big time. Now my standards of buying are much greater.

Re: Younger fumeheads... No Respect!

You know I'm on the opposite end of this. I'm the 21 year old SA that I'm sure most BNers would stay away from and try to talk to my 50 year old fellow SA who knows relatively little about frags...

Re: What COLORS do you see in Platinum Egoiste? Or anything?

Its so citrusy I can't help but think yellow.

As for TdH, I always think of very rich clay, the vivid moist orange color. The juice is pretty close to that imagery.

Re: Scents that smell like 1) Plywood / lumber at Home Depot, 2) Pine Christmas tree

I'd have to 2nd Hinoki, Hermes Rocabar (old version more natural smelling), and possibly the Polo variants, I believe explorer and double black?

Re: MICHAEL KORS (for men) vs. GUCCI POUR HOMME

I'm pretty sure you can only find it online and in small shops. None of the big stores carry it anymore.

Re: Dolce and Gabbana Anthology

Last visit to Nordstrom 1 month ago, the SA tried to push this on me even though I smelled them before and told her. They are very simple scents that are boring and linear. I was glad they didn't...

Re: Ooops! Happy Ramadan!

Thanks to everyone for the best wishes :o

Re: Ineke Derring-Do

The opening does have resemblance to Cool Water but it dries down partly to a Chrome-like metallic.

Re: I am in Atlanta, I think i made a mistake with Chanel Egoiste

Next time I would highly suggest that you spray everything on your skin before deciding if you like it or not, then you can order a small sample/decant or go for the bottle. That will reduce these...

Re: Who in the U.S sells Zara?

Not all Zara stores will have them though, Houston one doesnt. I have found any other retailer other than the official one.

Any evidence of fake 2.5oz Creeds?

I did a search for spotting fake Creeds and the only stories I hear are of 4.0oz bottles. Do counterfeiters bother with the 2.5s or not? I am planning on buying an Original Vetiver from eBay where...

Re: What's so fascinating about Serge Lutens?

The facination is that the Serge Lutens are uncompromising hardcore thick orientals that defy everything that modern, clean, and unoffensive scents stand for. I always get a badass impression...

Re: The smell of the First Day of School

The first morning of schools frequently seems to be damp and slightly misty. A bit of cool air and morning dew.

Re: Anyone seen a Platinum Egoiste with black cap?

It was on craigslist, it says Platinum Egoiste on the bottle so I'm guessing he just put an Egoiste cap on it but he also says it was new (tester probably). Too bad the Chanel testers just have a...

Anyone seen a Platinum Egoiste with black cap?

There is a guy trying to sell a P Egoiste but in the picture, the cap is black, not the shiny silver. I have been searching all over the internet trying to find this but I cant. He claims that it is...

Re: How is Ambre Extreme?

Well I finally got my bottle. I'm sad to say but I was a bit disappointed by the notorious "Playdoh" note in here, it dies down after 2 hours but it still lingers around. Also it was a bit too...

Re: Acqua di Gio and Bvlgari Aqua

Same thing, its only after I sampled Aqva alone that I found out the raw, lotion-like sour note. Makes me like Aqva Marine more than Aqva because of that even though Aqva opening is much better.
