YAY FOR PANERA!!!! I had chicken noodle soup in a breadbowl there for lunch today .

On topic...my last compliment was from my aunt. I got together w/ her & my bro for a meal on Sunday. I hugged my aunt when I saw her and she was like "Wow, you smell fabulous!" & I could tell she was really taken in by the fragrance. What was I wearing? D&G PH

You must have been gifted with great body chemistry because the only way people would smell Polo Black on me would be if:
1.) I spray myself 20 times
2.) They hugged me within 15 minutes of applying it

I find it extremely fleeting on my skin. It also lacks in the sillage department.

Agreed. Tested PB recently at Sephora...geez what a MAJOR dissapointment it was!! What the @#*!! is happening with Ralph lauren??

And you guys are making me hungry talking about Panera Bread. Think i'll make it my LOTD (lunch of the day) tomorrow!! Â*

Oh, back on topic. My most recent compliment-getters were Obsession, Laguna Homme and HM. (I'm not crazy about the Laguna though).

My recent compliments have been for
a) Gendarme
b) Hermes EdM
c) L'artisan Mechant Loup

I don't particularly care for Gendarme - it is my fallback scent on a day when I am in too much of a hurry to think about what to wear. It sure gets a lot of compliments, though.

This week I got a compliment from a male coworker. He came up and asked me what I was wearing a few days back and it was Etro - Helitrope. I thought it was very nice and subtle, and it is

I'd like to have Dior Homme. I tried it at Nordstrom and my wife and I definitely "grooved" on it.

I wore Creed SMW yesterday and just enjoyed the heck out of it. When my wife hugged me this morning, she said "you STILL smell good". Four full shots at 7:30 AM yesterday morning lasted 24 hours. Not bad.

M7 is my SOTD. Used to be one of my most complimented scents. We'll see how the day goes...

Excellent Gary! I must admit that I am surprised about the Polo Black as well but you must wear it well.
I work in an office that is 95% female and I actually received 7 compliments in one day while wearing CdG's Kyoto! Who'd have thought Kyoto??? Other compliment magnets for me have been Laguna, Passage d' Enfer and Arabie.

Just the other day I was sitting on the couch when the gf came over for smoochies. Â*She smelled my neck and said, "ooh, which one is that? Â*It smells very [and said this in a deep voice] -- manly."
And Tabac Original is what is was. Â* ;D
