More New Gendarme News: Gendarme to get sinful?

Thread Starter 
My trusty SA at Nordstrom here in Vegas who gave me a sneak sniff of the new Gendarme Green a few months ago said Gendarme would be releasing some new fragrances in the future, each representing one of the seven deadly sins (Greed, Sloth, etc.) He wasn't sure if they would carry the Gendarme name at all, or if they would be marketed under their own Seven Deadly Sins moniker.

Seeing how Gendarme likes to use celebrity testimonials to endorse their products, I would love to see a FedEx truck pull up to Brad Pitt's house and have him go bonkers. "Man, what's in the box!! Just tell, what's in the box! Oh no... No! What's in the @#$~ing box!"

Decapitation pour Homme inspired by Kevin Spacey. A scent you'll lose your head over.

Cheers,
Al

Or get some head over. I've said too much. I haven't said enough. Ok enough of the homo celeb allusions.

You guys are too funny.

I somehow doubt that Gendarme can muster up enough naughtiness, less alone nastiness, to represent the 7 deadly sins. That organization just seems so into clean and nice and inoffensive...or goofy as in that Austin Powers themed scent they came up with....it's actually called Mojo, isn't it?

So they'll all be basically Gendarme with a patchouli thrown into one and some leather in another. That my prediction. I hope I'm wrong. LOL

"Gendarme founder Topper Schroeder wanted to design a cologne that would not irritate his sensitive skin."

Umm, is he cured now?

Cheers,
Ali

I am getting these...my Sephora is getting them in a shipment tonight...I'll go tomorrow and most likely get them all unless my nose can handle the sampling all in about 10-15 minutes (gotta get back to work)
they look pretty damn good, especially:
Greed (I love the sweets)
Excess
Rage

I'll test and give my feedback later this week.

Excess sounds interesting to me. I look forward to your reviews.

I went to Sephora today but they were missing "envious" so I'll go back tomorrow when that comes in.
I did however test strip all of them and skin tested "Lust" and "Excess"
Both are pretty good. Â*Excess reminded me of Angel (womens) and Animale Animale.
Lust...well, I received a HUGE compliment about 5 minutes after I sprayed it on....Some woman walked by me in the mall
and exclaimed...You smell sooooo good. Â*what is that? Â*I pointed her to Sephora.....and away she went.
