This really smells like a typical Hermes fragrance. A grapefruit citrus opening that smells like your typical "eau de cologne" backed by peppery earthy grassy mineral notes. If you've smelled...
The eucalyptus, cedar and benzoin creates a cool, dry fragrance that doesn't have the medicinal qualities usually associated with that combination of notes. A great price, I'm glad YSL keeps...
I have actually done something of a full 180 on this - the first time I smelled it I thought it was absolutely horrid, just a harsh saltwater and little else. I did give it a few more tries, and...
The name Lys Fume is only half correct. The lily is there, the smoke is not. No complaint, though. This is a handsome and well composed floriental. Lily is the centerpiece but other elements...
Oud tends to be the gorilla in the room in a fragrance that uses it as the principle note. Oud being both potent and distinctive, the challenge is how to make an oud-centric perfume fundamentally...
Just saw 17 Again (Fantasy/Comedy, 2009) on TV starring Matthew Perry, Zac Effron, Leslie Mann, and it was surprisingly good! I found myself laughing at some scenes, especially when that Ned character is on the screen.
Paul Simon documentary. Can't remember the name.
Lincoln.
Sweet and Lowdown (1999). One of my favorite Woody Allen movies and an overall good comedy IMO.
Django Unchained (2012) I'm a big Tarantino fan, but this one was kinda meh. Too many plot holes, and ran a bit too long. Another strong performance from Christoph Waltz, and I also liked Samuel Jacksons character. Still good fun, but not one of Tarantinos best.
Amour(wow!)Haneke is a brilliant director(Try The Piano Teacher or Funny Games)
Headhunters-The Coen Brothers go to Scandanavia(the outhouse scene alone is worth the whole thing,priceless)
The Exorcist 111-A superb and scarey flick with the late George C. Scott(forget the crappy 2)
Cold Prey 1,2,3-A very creepy trio of horror films. (Think of a mashup of The Shining and Friday the 13th)
Chinatown-The very best of noir to me. The film is pretty much perfect and the music is incredible
