Set Sail South Seas for Men by Tommy Bahama

Wonderful scent,Tommy nailed it to the wall with this one. Longevity isnt that great but I tend to soak up most frags rather quickly. The fresh scent of limes are quick to hit my nose and very quickly I swear it turns into a coconut snowcone ,sounds to sugary but it is very subtle and enjoyable,shortly after the rum takes over and it seems to have a little sandalwood in the background. with a very plesant salty undertone,how to you get that!?! Its like setting sail to a cove by a beautiful island. Thanks Tommy! What a wonderful summer scent.

Gendarme by Gendarme

I bought this one due to the great reviews here at Basenotes and found it via a low price of 15 dollars at LuckyScents. Haha I am sure it was a boo boo price at the time because it is now back up to 68 dollars a botlle. Gendarme pronounced "zhă darm"is a very light and clean frag,stays close to the skin. I love it but it doesnt seem to last very long at all on my skin,but alot of clean light scents are like that on me. I would use it alot more in summer but for the longevity/price ratio I will continue to look elsewhere for my "go to" summer frag.

B*Men by Thierry Mugler

Nice frag. Very reminisent of Amen but somewhat lighter and more fruit up top. It still has some of the deep heavy tar/spice that attracted me so much to Amen but like I said much lighter,maybe a better canidate for the warmer months. All in all a very different scent,

Cigar by Rémy Latour

Being a cigar smoker,I had to try this one. Found it at TJMAXX for about 12 bucks. I didnt expect much but when I tried it I was pleasantly surprised,it really does smell alot like the inside of my cigar humidor. More the Spanish cedar than tobacco but quite acceptable. Opening notes are somewhat cirus like,lots of leather and finally settles in to one of my favorite woody frags.Kind of a creamy cedar scent at finish. I would soo much like to smell a similar frag done with a little better quality of leather and tobacco tho,that would be unbelievable.say maybe Creed.
