Isn't BLV so unusual, for Bulgari

It just occurred to me today: Isn't BLV so unusual, for Bulgari? I have, along with BLV, pour Homme, Extreme, and Green Tea, and I love them all. But BLV seems so different from the rest, so out of...

Re: Bulgari Green Tea The Greatest Scent Ever

Bulgari Green Tea is my most recent purchase, and I'm SO happy with it. It's so clean and fresh and uncluttered. And I love the bottle too. One of the handsomest bottles out there. My one complaint:...

Re: Guerlain Vetiver vs Vetiver Frozen

This doesn't address your question, sorry. I've never tried Frozen. I just wanted to say that I just bought Guerlain Vetiver (a blind purchase), and I LOVE it. It's so beautiful it makes me go weak...

Re: finally bit the bullet -and nearly got ripped

Shipping charges are outrageous, but I look at it this way. On eBay, for instance, for cologne, shipping is about $7. I figure that eBay gives about a 33% product discount (e.g., a fragrance that's...

Re: SOTD Wednesday 16 November

360 degrees, by Perry Ellis (the blue). To be honest, I'm liking this (and a little less so, the clear) less and less every day. I think I may be trying to quickly "use it up."

Re: Looking for a new cologne...

By the way, Themantis16, "Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme" (which, I agree 100%, you should get) can be had pretty cheap. It's been showing up lately at Marshall's, for ... I think $25 or $30. You're a...

Re: SOTD Thursday 10 November

Bijan: Men--and gave myself one full blast to the chest. I was afraid that much would instantly vaporize me, but I'm doing fine.

I have a question about top notes, middle notes, and base notes:

Re: What do you guys think about the Diesel cologn

I own both ++ (the milk bottle) and 0+ (the red bottle). I like them both. ++ is a light, creamy scent--but it reminds me, every time I put if on, of the scent of some very pleasant spray-on...

Re: Favourite/Most Unusual/Best Perfume Bottle

Bijan: Men, with its translucent glass and its hollowed-out center and its white turban.

Re: Tricks to make fragrances last longer?

One way to make a scent last longer is to spray it on your left arm if you're right handed, or to spray it on your right arm if you're left handed. If you're right handed, your left arm is going to...

Re: blind buys:studs and duds

Ahh! OK, I get it. You mentioned the ugly Etiquette Bleue bottle, about a week ago. That's the "cologne version," right? If that's the case, I'm going to have to be very careful: weak scent in an...

Re: blind buys:studs and duds

[Sputter, sputter, sputter] NO!!! Give Etiquette Bleue a little more time to fall in love with it! It's NOT a dud--it's a stud!!!

Re: commercial sandalwood?

I received my Trumper's sample this past weekend, and I'm wearing Sandalwood today. At first I didn't like it. And then it toned down and I started to like it. And then I started to become wild about...

Re: My scores at Marshall's tonight

I love Marshall's. I've found some terrific things there. Givenchy Pi, Bulgari pour Homme and BLV, Bijan, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, Gucci Envy, to name a few. The trouble with Marshall's is that...

Re: thoughts on opium for men?

I don't have this one anymore, I ran out, but I used to like it a lot. It reminds me of Givenchy Pi, only more so, it reminds me of Pi X 10. Very exotic, rich, multilayered, complex. I strongly...

Re: longevity

I rarely reapply, even with a scent that I consider lacking in longevity (e.g., Bulgari pour Homme). I always assume that the scent is still there, and going strong, but I can't smell it because I've...

Which bottle do you think is most nicely designed? (Me, I vote for Etiquette Bleue (D'Orsay).)

Re: Applying scent

I "walk through" Bijan: Men because it's so strong, I limit myself to two sprays of Bulgari pour Homme because it's so demure, and all the others get one spray. A scent is like an opinion, it's rude...
