In the shadow of Havana - The other Gentlemen

There's been numerous threads about Havana, and its recent reformulation. But what's been ignored is the other 5 gentlemen standing in its shadow. I firmly believe that this recent collection is the...

AdP Assoluta and Intensa have nice Ylang notes in them.

Re: perfumedistributor.com

I've no experience with them, but their website looks pretty shoddy. They can't even spell Clerance (sic) right! Like Scentemental said, there's better and more reputable e-retailers out there for...

Re: Say what you will about Le Labo....

Have you tried Aramis' Gentlemen collection? I can't think of many frag houses out there that have the width and depth of their range. And all are priced at $48 without the faux-french attitude,...

Re: Femme seeks Homme for an Opium fix

You should give the women's Edp a try. Many men here wear it and swear it's better than the Homme EdP version.

Re: Something in the mold of L'Occitane Eau des Baux

TF tobacco Vanille is somewhat similar but no cedar. Also, you may want to go light on the application of EdB as it's got some strong legs.

Re: Le Labo City Exclusives - Forget It!

I could rant on and on about Le Labo (I did a few years ago). Surprised they're still around given the economy. Ignore them and they will go away like the pretenders they are.

Re: Habit Rouge Beau Cavalier

After trying this a Nieman, I have come to the conclusion that this is the same juice as the EdP that was released a few years ago. I may be in the minority, but this could be the finest masculine...

The Barbershop I never knew - Tales from a Salon boy

Frequently, I come across a review or post that references barbershop aromas or smells. When I was growing up, I was a salon boy as opposed to a barbershop boy or even a saloon boy;). That's right,...

Re: My Continuing L'Anarchiste Conundrum

Definitely the weakest in Caron's men's lineup. I'm on the fence on it myself. The huge sour apple/orange opening is kind of off-putting, but the musky drydown is more appealing.

Re: Neiman Marcus - Guerlain Online Trunk Show

Oh yeah, SDV smelled wonderful but at $220 is beyond my price limit.

Re: Neiman Marcus - Guerlain Online Trunk Show

Actually, I saw a lot of these more rare juices at NM here in Chicago a few weeks ago. Didn't have time to go thru them all but I will shortly.

On another note, why no Habit Rouge EdP or even...

Re: New Fragrance * Cartier Roadster Sport

The mint exploded on my skin and dominated the composition way too much. No thanks. That said, this flanker sounds good and like somebody else said, Cartier's flankers can sometimes be better than...

Re: Who's Sick of Clubbing?

Well, what do you guys do on a Saturday night if not clubbing? I'm well into my 30's and need a night out to let out steam as it were. Can't stay at home all the time.

Re: Campaign to bring Rochas Macassar and Patou Pour Homme back!

Never smelled Macassar but I find most Rochas men's frags to be some of the best frags out there, particularly Lui, Moustache & Monsieur (vintage). Very affordable for the price too.

Re: ISO E Super as an Intensifier

Many of the frags listed are heavy in the cedar note and to lesser degree amber. Does ISOES magnify these notes, asks the amatuer perfumer?

Re: Guerlain Héritage Eau de Parfum Review

Indie, I had similar experience as you. Bought the EdT only to trade it in for the EdP. I found the EdT thin and lacking personality whereas the EdP feels like a richer version of Zino. ...

Re: L'instant de Guerlain Eau Extreme

They seem to be the only source for Habit Rouge EdP too. I'd pick up that too.
