Chanel PM is hard to find? I didn't have any trouble at all online! But I guess I didn't really look for it in stores in the first place.

Cacharel Nemo
Helmut Lang Cuiron
Caron 3rd Man

They sell it at my local department store, and if I've got it in KENTUCKY then I know its not that hard to find.

Most places only had the Concentree version and the prices online were a little inflated.

I'm only counting local retailers because you can find anything on the internet

Helmut Lang's Cuiron is still un-encountered and I only came across Caron's 3rd Man once... and didn't buy it

The Divine scents, also Malle's line. I'm still waiting to sample some CB I hate Perfume scents. Of course, discontinued items like Ungaro I are even harder to find.

Yves Rocher Tel Quel. It's a very smooth oriental that I never see mentioned here. It took me months to find a bottle of this potion.

Infusion by Bombay Sapphire - This is a cologne based upon Bombay Sapphire Gin. Gin is basically a drinkable cologne; a neutral alcohol infused with botanicals for fragrance and flavor. It is an exceptional crisp/fresh cologne, easily my favorite of that type, but since it is only available for as a gift with purchase of the Gin at duty free shops, it is extremely rare.

Cumming by Alan Cumming - This cologne has two strikes against it in terms of being taken seriously; it is a vanity cologne and has a joke name. But it is a seriously good cologne; the best smoke dominated cologne I've run across. Not easy to find but worth it when you do.

The chanel Pour Monsieur that's everywhere is the Concentrée version. To find the original, I had to go to the Chanel boutique in San Francisco.
