I'm typing this review based on my nice memories of Polo Sport: it was the bomb during my college years, and everyone seemed to love it back then, as it smelled fresh, clean, and a little...

Up front in smells like oud... the sawdusty variation of oud (which I personally like). After 15 minutes the synthetic aspect of it is more apparent but it's still pleasant. I'm quite happy...

I don't like this one. There is a bottle of this stuff in my cologne cabinet for something, like, 12 or 14 years. It comes on too strong. It's supposed to be leathery but it's spicy blast of...

Worn only twice, my much beloved(and only) Gucci sweater, 100 % Cashmere, bought in New York( on a sale), 2 years ago.
In a clouded Êmoment of unawareness I machinewashed it together with the normal stuff.
It came out a whole lot smaller Ê, so my 9 year old daughter can wear it now. ÊDarn!!

same stupid thing happened to me this week. Washed one of my favourite sweaters at the wrong temp (40 instead of 30). Now it's a "Mr. Bean" size.

:'( Oh, I am so sorry to hear these stories! Although prevailing thought is that cashmere sweaters are better off washed, than dry cleaned . . . it is touchy stuff! Yes, this has happened . . . even, to ME! I once washed a cashmere SHIRT, with a load of dark clothes . . . I should NEVER have thrown that shirt, down the laundry shoot. I never wore it, again. If you're looking for cashmere, Bluefly has some nice bargains, on men's and women's sweaters. The trouble is, though . . . that with cashmere you have really to 'feel' the garment, first. Or, at least I do. The quality varies so much . . . so does the 'ply.' Two ply cashmere can at times, be a little bit flimsy. It all depends . . . in any case, Eric . . . at least your beautiful daughter will have a lovely new sweater! Marcello, I'm sorry about your mishap, as well . . . >
