English Leather Spiced by Dana

Here it goes...........my first review.
I had to try it, it was cheap and I thought it could turn out to be a diamond in the rough.

Moondeva's review also had a little to do with me trying it out.

I purchased two plastic sample bottles, one containing E.L. Spiced, the other E.L. Wind Drift. They may have been discontinued but I still see these little plastic bottles for sale at various websites.

Wind Drift, to me, is a diamond in the rough. I think this guy in his mid 40's at a local watering hole wears this, he plays in a jazz band and the cologne stands apart from all the others on younger guys.

Spiced..........well, it was a let down for me.

I thought Spiced meant various exotic scents that would interact and also come and go as the time passed and keep you guessing.

I've read people use the word linear to describe I guess a fragrance that really goes nowhere and does not change.

Bingo! That is E.L. Spiced, from the very beginning to the end it smelled more like J&J Baby Powder, not much spicyness there.

Some folks love thata Baby Powder smell, I might try it again, but I can also live w/o it.

Oh my! Oh my! I find this delicious and surprisingly rich and long-lasting - especially for cologne. A little goes a long way. The sillage is gorgeous without overpowering. If a man wore this...well I'm not sure I could be held responsible for my actions...but I think the man in question wouldn't be complaining! ;) Luckily for the unsuspecting male population I totally love the way it smells on me even more. I am an unashamed glutton for leather and spice and this rich, leathery spice is heavenly. Again maybe I should blame the cold weather. Amazing alone, I believe this is quite similar to and would be amazing layered with Fendi Theorema, Diesel Zero Plus Masculine, and TBS Woody Sandalwood. I also think it would be pretty amazing layered with YSL Nu / M7 and Donna Karan Black Cashmere. This is a definite winner.
