Creed in Bloomies???

Didn't know which other forum to post this...... My GF got her usual sale circular from Bloomies (thick catalog looking) in the mail the other day. I was looking through it and noticed a full page...

Re: Lonestar Memories

I agree with RP in that I admire this frag but have a hard time wearing it. I have a 5ml decant and that suits me just fine. I could also easily see how wearing this would be ill-received by...

Re: thoughts on kouros

Yes, I think skin chemestry plays a huge role in any frag and more so with certain ones. I don't get any urinary either, in fact it is very pleasant. I almost thought there were florals present...

Re: thoughts on kouros

I think I worded my previous question in a misleading manner. I should have asked "How noticeable is the civet in Kouros?". I don't really detect any.

Re: Typically Feminine Notes in Masculine Fragrances

Agreed.

I would think it is rose followed by jasmine.

Re: Seeking Scent Closest To Musky Male Armpits

I know it's been mentioned a few times but want to echo that Eau D'Hermes should do the trick. I have recoiled several times after sampling it. Not that it smells terrible. It's just that it...

Re: Name your absolute favorite office fragrances

I had forgot all about Canali for quite some time. It's definitely not as good as some ot the others mentioned but a damn good one that I've neglected until today.

Re: Burberry London Special Edition & Issey On The Rock

There was a post on the London SE last week. I agree with your comments on both frags. The London is great but I just sampled it and had no idea they're asking $70 for it. That changes things.

Re: thoughts on kouros

This may be a common knowledge or maybe it is a question that has been answered before. Forgive me in advance if it is either....... Was Kouros ever reformulated? I am not going to go on about how...

Re: Which 70s/80s inexpensive "power frag" do you wear most often?

Pour Lui. Awesome juice. However, I have to agree with Ruggles. Everytime I wear Paco Rabanne, I am blown away how damn good it is.

Re: Creed Santal and Joop

I am sure if you tested them side by side there would be clear differences. However, I would be lying if I said the first time I tried Original Santal I didn't immediately think "that's some...

Re: Considering serious downsize, please advise.

I admire those that can downsize. I have often thought about decanting 10-20 ml of everything and selling the rest. I could use that money to buy some other decants. I know I can never use all of...

Re: Havana, Hype or Reality?

I already own the original but will probably buy the re-issue as well. I think it's that good and I've been wanting a backup for awhile. IMO, $48 is a steal. You really could do much worse for a...

Re: Younger fumeheads... No Respect!

I believe the posts above but I have never experienced anything like this. I usually couldn't pay a SA to stop pushing the most expenseive ones on me at Niemies, Saks, or Bloomies. Maybe it's...

Re: This is a question for Bond no.9 lovers

I didn't really mean "soften the blow" for me, I meant for someone who needed it However, I can see by my wording why you would think that. I like NH all the way through. It is very rich and I...

Re: "The Posh Peasant"

I think that is the most important thing. They are partly to thank for all of the helpful reviews we get on here. There is no way (obviously) that everyone owns all of the frags they review. ...

Re: Burberry London for Men Special Edition

Hey JWS, I sampled this one yesterday too. I didn't like it upon first spray and I was actually kind of pissed that Burb put the "London" moniker on it. London is so good compared to most of their...

Re: How long do you keep your cologne?

I hold on to mine as long as they will last. I haven't really come across a "turned" bottle, with the exception of the original Tommy by Hilfiger (13 yrs old). My experience is that a sample or...

Re: Negative Reviews-Should I write more?

SMM, your knowledge and nose will dictate that you write an informative, helpful, and yet negative review. To write a negative just to trash a frag is wrong. But we all know you're not capable of...

Re: Side-by-side comparison: GIT vs. Cool Water vs. Chez Bond

I don't really think Cool Water and Chez Bond are that similiar, although they both share some similarities with GIT. There are a lot of frags that smell alike until you put them side by side. Then...

Re: This is a question for Bond no.9 lovers

I like the thread's title as I'm sure very quickly the Bond bashers would have been lining up to post how crappy they are. Anyway, I don't know how to neccesarily kill the syrupy dry down but I know...

Re: Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree - when was it reformulated?

I'm sorry Bokaba, I kind of meant what you said. I didn't mean reformulated, I meant a new and different version. I guess I didn't read the OP's post clearly enough before. I thought she was in...

Re: Spotted at Marshall's

That was my suspicion at the time and probably the reason I didn't jump all over it. Thanks for the confirmation.:)
