Skimming through the reviews of Habit Rouge it's apparent that this scent comes/came in many incarnations, wastly different. I've tried a current EdT. .. There's nothing masculine about this...
I dislike the original AdG, always have because of the bitterness and strange orange synthetic note. The Essenza after one wear won me over, smooth opening, soft woodiness once it settles down....
Disturbingly bad.
This opens up obscure, smoky, spicy and what seems like an attempt of a jasmine flower note. I have smelt jasmine notes from higher end perfumery and this is utterly...
This is the first Montale fragrance that I've liked enough to merit purchasing a full bottle. I would like to wax poetic about this frag, but Darvant and others have pretty much captured it's...
I had planned all week to wear my new Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin on casual Friday, but I wore a brown shirt and decided on the smooth mocha-vanilla goodness of Rochas Man.

Off to ScentMother's house for dinner tonight and for the occasion I am wearing:
Comme Des Garcons H&M
If there is one thing CdG know how to do and do very well it is incense. This is anopther winner of an incense from them without treading over old ground. The top of this is full on cedar which gives way really quickly to a sweet incense middle before transitioning to the less sweet church incense in the base. This is a straight forward progression executed flawlessly. It reminds me of when I used to burn incense cones in my misspent youth and there would be a little piece of one left when I placed another new cone in the bowl, and there would be this wonderful co-mingling of different incenses. I'm getting the same feeling on my skin from this one. Really, really nice. I think this would be a mass-market winner for CdG if they sold it at this price at every H&M.
A very nice review! I remember after having test-sprayed, I walked out of H&M and walked about a half-block, smelled my wrist, and returned and bought a whole bottle. A well made scent IMO.
Habit Rouge L'Extrait. Each time I wear it, I notice how ... different it is. No "animalic thickness", but a strong, deep woody-resinous scent pumping slowly up from the arm. A propos woody: Gonna watch Vicky Cristina Barcelona tonight - as usual, a new Woody-film feels like a new Guerlain release
like the good man himself, dimitri, i am too wearing the amazing chanel allure, getting ready to get my bottle of edition blanche tommorow! that time has come, cant wait for this stuff.
Went out for dinner and drinks downtown last night. My newly arrived bottle of Five O'Clock au Gingembre was the perfect scent. I love it even more out of the bottle than I had remembered.
