Wow, games are getting more exciting by the round!
Might be a good one for me, as long as RG stands up to its reputation.

If Rive Gauche slips right here it'll be the biggest upset thus far, and wreck a lot of brackets. No. 88 too.

Lol, I'm sure where there's a will there's a way, but cheating in a game like this falls squarely under the category of "missed the point".

I expected Rive Gauche PH to put up a fight, but I thought Heritage would have a clear lead by now. Rive Gauche is good, but it's HERITAGE!!!! Come on guys!

And as classic as Jicky is, I remember when every other thread used to be about No. 88!

Jicky baby, you just got to do it. You are almost there. Just another nudge or two and then you'd be in victory land.

Rive Gauche, you've put up a good show. Great but don't push your luck too far. You are battling indomitable Guerlain heritage *no pun intended*.

Its hard to go against a Guerlain - ANY Guerlain in the last couple of years. I know there is a certain prestige and history behind the brand, but it was still there before LVMH acquired it and saved it from trouble. I didn't see this much adulation and goo goo gaa gaa a few years ago, when the Guerlain scents themselves might have been in a better shape than they are right now.

As far as I am concerned, I will take the currently available Rive Gauche over the currently available Heritage anyday. And I will take the currently available No. 88 over the whole stuble of currently available Guerlains anyday.

I have noticed that all games are generally uploaded daily between 5:30AM GMT & 6:00AM GMT.

That leaves us at least 6 more hours from the time I make this post.

Comparing their current formulations Rive Gauche homme is superior to Heritage EDT, even in the quality of materials.

Was more of a Mouchoir de Monsieur guy myself...No.88 can't lose to Mouchoir thin Civet fart !

It's 24 hours after whenever the thread initially goes up, so 12:03AM CST (GMT -6) in this instance. I'm not quite machine enough to have them consistently go at midnight but just note the start time of the thread and add a day.

So apparently these polls aren't closing as they should, something I'll have to chalk up to the most recent update. This poll will no longer take votes after 12:03AM Central, so here in about 12 minutes.

This one's officially over.

Heritage def. Rive Gauche, 50-49
No. 88 def. Jicky, 51-48

There wasn't much call for a BMM Hall of Fame before, but I'd throw these two games in it in a heartbeat.

On one level I tend to agree with you, since I have three bottles of Jicky (one edt and two pdts) and one hand/body lotion of it, buuuuut, in keeping with capitalism, I voted for the one I don't have since I take what I've got already for granted.

I'll take responsibility for one of No.88's votes and thus one fewer of Jicky's.
