Edouard Fléchier's Lys Mediterranee body lotion. The women have all the luck getting these magnificent, high end body lotions - I want my high end masculines done as body lotions, for crying out loud!!

Serge Lutens Borneo 1834 (2008) Christopher Sheldrake Woody Oriental
------------------
Notes: Indonesian Patchouli, Cardamom, Camphor, Galbanum, Cocoa, Vetiver, Licorice, Resins
------------------
Borneo 1834 is not quite like anything else. The camphor note seems to come on quite strong on my skin right off, with just a hint of the cocoa from the base note. This strikes me as a rather strange combination, especially because I imagined the patchouli would chime in first, but on me, it waits a bit longer to appear. While it's waiting, a hint of white florals begins to emerge, along with the spicy edge of cardamom. Galbanum begins to enter the picture, and then, finally, the strains of patchouli begin to play, along with a touch of labdanum. This is a beautiful scent which unfolds quite dramatically, with good longevity and moderate sillage. Later, when the rest of the players have gone to bed, patchouli and cocoa remain to provide the famous signature of Borneo 1834 that everyone talks about.

I'm all out with Guerlain Vetiver today. Old dark juice and underarm deodorant spray. There are times old forests have made me think of this smell.

This morning I've been testing two small decants out that I received. Left arm I have Bond No.9 MontaUK and on the right it's Creed Erolfa. The MontaUK is very similar to a Ronaldo Esper fragrance I own. Erolfa is not bad, nothing amazing on me and it's no way near as strong as some other Creed's.

L'Artisan Patchouli Patch

This has become my favorite patchouli fragrance. Just enough patchouli to provide a primal, earthy, satisfying feel without going overboard, surrounded by pleasant notes to avoid one being frowned upon in public places ..

Nostalgia by Santa Maria Novella



IMO, this is the ultimate day-at-the-country-club sort of fragrance. I always feel like a billionaire playboy, on my way to play tennis when I wear this. Of course, I was on my way to the office today...but still I felt like a million bucks. I'm glad I have a back up bottle of this. One of the few leathers I can wear in 100 degree temps.
