By Man by Dolce & Gabbana
I got this yesterday in a tester pack.
I've been watching this perfume for a long time which could be traced back to 2002. When it first appeared in dept stores here in Beijing China, I didn't have a special note for By as I thought it was just medical and something I was not sure about. The scent didn't cut a clear line in my mind nor in my olfactory realm. So I determine to stay away from it.
Just like that. I was away from it for three years until last year I had a trial on my arm and I got a kinda impression of it that I thought a little similiar to Uomo of Moschino.
The scent lingers in my mind then...
I found it yesterday and at a very long price here. 30 dollars US for a 100ml bottle. and I just couldnot hold back.
I have just used once. 3 squirks on my back and I felt a high tone overture for 1 hour and a half. then the dry down came to perform a smooth and a lower profile aroma. At first I moves like the way Allure shows. at least I think so, so spicy and warm, leaving a trail behind me. Then the dry down like someone else remarked hereinafter as it is a little similiar to 212. but richer.
It is also long lasting on my skin. 4 to 5 hours for sure.
So. I guess I will spend more time with it. As now the tempreture is so high as 30 degrees celsiums and I am waiting to see how it talks in colder day, maybe better I hope.
Thumbs up.

M7 by Yves Saint Laurent
Just bought it today in Beijing, and the condition is M7 is very rare in China now, I bought it after 2 years since my first trial of it. As a perfume junkie, I got too many to use, that's why I am a little conservative to buy something that I am not quite sure about.
I used to consider the smell quite unacceptable, but last time when I found it at the vendor I just put a little on my left arm, the temperature was 29 celsiums then. And I kept sniffing my arm for the whole afternoon.
Later I bought my first bottle of Alexander Mcqueen instead of M7. But I just could forget about M7 and I was there at the vendor again this morning and finally I made up my mind there.
Couldn't wait to open the bottle, had I sprayed just once on my t-shirt, then it rains and I walk all through the rain without an umbrella.
I didn't regret of buying it at the price of USD34 for 1.7oz, but havenot known the scent good enough now.
All I can say is that it is really dark and smokey, I have to spend quite some time see whether it grows.
Thanks for information from all guys here.
