There are no brick-n-mortar C.O.Bigelow stores in Manila.
Was researching on it and found out they sell Diptyques, Miller Harris and AdP state-side (saw their online catalog).
However, did see C.O.Bigelow Barber Elixir Colognes during my last research-hunting spree (only 1 store carrying so far, and these are gray-market stock). Interested in getting at least one of them, I don't think anyone I know wears this
Any thoughts on the Barber Elixir lines (Red, Black, Blue and Green)?
Researched on the boards, these seem like discount frags in the States but would like to get at least one just because of its rarity in our location (it was even in the far corner of the store. Hah!). By the way, as these are gray-market, no testers available (can't even open the box), so this will be a blind-buy Manila's almost always humid and hot so I'd appreciate suggestions which of these are more appropriate for day-office wear (I think I have enough heavy frags anyway). And wait, are these even colognes?! Aren't they like after-haircut splash stuff?! There's an after shave line on the net so I'm guessing these Barber Elixirs are really colognes...
Those who've used Barber Elixirs before, kindly chime in.

I also like the others - none are bad. The green is probably second with me. Somewhat pine-centered. Red is a bit spicy, but I don't recall how, and blue aquatic. All of them are very mild leanings, IMO - nothing like a REAL aquatic, green/pine, etc. They're pretty reasonably priced in the States. I did not really fall for any of them, but I wanted to own the black.
