Possibly Rose 31 or

Puro Lino or

Mazzolari Vetyver


Since I am less flush than I was in the past, I will not likely buy all of them this summer, but one or two would be a pretty good bet.

Money's a little tight right now. Fortunately, I have enough samples to go through before even having to make a decision.

Montale's Red Vetiver sounds very tempting, but haven't tried any Montale frags, so it's on the back burner.

The current wardrobe is also quite nice. There's enough variety to keep things interesting and, with the samples, to keep things from getting stale.

By the end of the month, I'll probably pick up another Creed. I'm thinking Bois du Portugal, Himalaya,or Santal.

Something to round out my current rotation of Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet, Endymion, and Opus 1870 and Creed Tabarome, and Silver Mountain Water.

I'm waiting for a sample of S-ex to arrive. If I like it I will probably spring for a bottle. Also waiting on a sample of Puro Lino. So it may be a toss up which will be the next additional to the collection.

My next full bottle will probably be Guerlain Pour Homme.

As far as decants go, i am really not sure yet. It will more than likely be one of the following.

TF ~ Moss Breches
TF ~ Japan Noir
TF ~ Noir de Noir
Guerlain ~ Cologne du 68
Ajmal ~ Mukhallat Al Shams

I think I just made My Next Purchase, a 1.7oz bottle of Bvlgari Aqva as recommended on another thread. Can't wait til it gets here.

Although my bottle of Mugler Cologne shower gel/body shampoo should be waiting for me on the doorstep when I get home. That was my most recent purchase.

After being stingy with just owning 3 bottles that I bought in full (or almost full) with just 212, Aqva, and Story. I think I'll up my wardrobe to 5 bottles. Even though I've said I'll never blind buy, I think I'm better educated than I was several months ago to pick a decent blind buy.

Chanel Allure Edition Blanche - Anyone know if this'll be strong enough for fall and winter weather? Allure Sport felt like it was.
Lanvin Arpege - Burberry Touch + vanilla. Really? Sign me up! Loved Le Male when I first got into fragrances, loved Burberry Touch when Le Male became too much, now I miss both.

I want Vetiver Extraordinaire the most, but due to it's massive price, the next scent I see myself getting is Dior Homme.

Recently found a long lost bottle of Baldessarini (how it got in the butter compartment of the fridge is wholly Bushmills Black's fault) and was shocked at how much I liked it. Am working up the nerve to buy the ambre version blind.

Diptyque Philosykos
Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille
Serge Lutens Iris Silver Mist

The Ambre version is actually a very pleasant and long-lasting scent.

It's not a deep amber smelling fragrance, as some of the true niche ambers are, but it alludes to amber along with other notes.

It's very nice on the whole and can be bought very reasonably priced if you sniff around the internet.

Probably GIT, although I might just get a decant of it. Another scent I'll be looking to purchase come winter time is L'Air Du Desert Marocain.

What i'll probably end up getting first is a new batch of oils. I need some more orris root, and want to experiment with some other botanicals like tea and olive leaf absolutes, clementine C02, etc.

I've just picked up a 100ml bottle of Tom Ford for Men for just over £20.00. I do like this, but not at full price! I know longevity can be an issue, but at that price, who cares?

YSL is definitely my favorite house. I already have YSL pour Homme, Kouros, Jazz, Opium pour Homme (edp), Live Jazz, Body Kouros, M7 and Rive Gauche pour Homme. Now I am planning to buy M7 Fresh and YSL LHomme.

Ahhh yes, money (or the lack thereof) is now quite a problem for most. I have soooo many TOP TEN favorites I need to replace that it's become VERY difficult to make up my mind on a purchase. However, I believe when it comes time to make a purchase (when all things are taken into consideration) my next for FALL purchase will be a bottle of SANTA MARIA NOVELL "ACQUA DI CUBA". My other choice and (Polar opposite) of Acqua Di Cuba would be A.GOUTAL "SABLES".

Regards,
SixCats!

Tomorrow, I'll be investigating fragrances from ByRedo, Amouage and Parfumerie Generale. I'm hoping to find at least one FBW creation among them. If not, there's always the new Serge Lutens creations to look forward to (well, kind of)...

I've been limiting myself to the bottles of fragrance that I buy nowadays. I've been really good about it too with only one purchase this year so far. Out of this list of scents, I'll limit myself to buy only 2 of them for the rest of this year.

Lanvin Vetyver
Gucci Pour Homme II
Bond No. 9 New Haarlem

Off the top of my head: (in order of priority aka how much I want it)

Elternhaus MoslBuddJewHinDao (sold my Ipod Touch for this!)
CDG Sequoia
Le Labo Vanille 44
FRANK No. 2
Divine L'Homme Sage
By Kilian Straight to Heaven
S-Perfumes S-ex
...and a couple more

Might as well just go haywire with my purchases this month.

Oh, and I may replace my L'eau D'Issey PH with another full bottle -- unless someone can stop me from the cyclical nature of my re-purchase of this calonous compliment-winner. Help (aid) would be very appreciated.

P.S. This isn't my wishlist.

P.P.S. What I do is "secret." My mom, girlfriend, and anyone at home who finds out about this is so going to kill me.
