Some goodies arrived today ....

.... including full bottles of:

Lorenzo Villoresi - Vetiver (I knew it before from a sample - excellent stuff - smells really dirty - in a good way)

Lorenzo Villoresi - Acqua di Colonia (just citrus out of the bottle, but then the LV spices come out and they make it another masterpiece. You can tell it's LV just because of the style he puts the stuff together.)

Lorenzo Villoresi - Acqua Rinfrescante (very light for a LV, but very good - if you find the Uomo too heavy, this is it! - doesn't last very long though)

then another half full bottle of:

Comptoir Sud Pacifique - L'Eau du Gouverneur (giannis sent me a sample with one or two drops in it, but they did it! Now I own two half full bottles. You can never have enough of a good thing, yes?)

and some original miniatures:

Romeo Gigli pour Homme (not bad, funny green juice), Halston - Z-14, Antaeus, No. 5 EdP, Coco EdP, Kenzo pour Homme, Bel Ami, Molto Smalto, Ténéré, Tsar, Tabac Original, Tabac Concentrée, Trussardi Uomo, Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme, Drakkar Noir, Anais Anais (like Bandit - no?), Bulgari pour Homme, Chanel pour Monsier (19ml XXL miniature), Jil Sander's Pure for men, Hugo, XS, Sport de Paco Rabanne (20ml XXL miniature) and Azzaro pour Homme

Think I'm happy - at least for the moment .... [smiley=wink.gif]

I know this woman who collects miniatures. She lives ten minutes from where I live. Found her on ebay where she sells her stuff, so no shipping costs for me. She lists for europe only, but you can always ask if she will ship wordwide.

She has two thousand different minis which she wants to keep and about three thousand which she will sell in the next months. I can get most miniatures for $2.40 each. She always lists 500 at once.

http://search.ebay.de/_W0QQsassZanankeQ5fat

I know she has more then one of Ténéré, possibly up to ten or even more.

But it gets expensive too:

Bought 30 miniatures recently, makes $72.00.
I'm pretty sure she got them all for free.
Hell knows where. She said something about airports ....

All LV's and L'Eau du Gouverneur I bought from a german ebayer for a total of $133.00 inclusive shipping.

I love ebay [smiley=beer.gif]

I can send you an IM if you want. It was no fragrance seller, just a private person who wanted to get rid of his stuff. I don't want to show the name here, because everybody can check my ebay acquisitions then.

Check out ebay germany. You can get most designer colognes and some niches in miniature shape and most for under $2.40 each. There is up to 15ml juice inside those original miniatures.

There are thousands!!
