Windsor 2nd Batch Release (30ml decant) by Creed

post #2 of 222
I picked up a 30 ml decant of Windsor last week and love it. I wish I had picked up 50-100 ml instead. This week I ordered a 100 ml Montale Black Aoud and a 20 ml travel bottle of Cuir d'Arabie

PASCAL MORABITO "OR BLACK" 1982 Parfumeur Jean Louis Sieuzac
Vintage - non reformulated version
I think that I had bought the two last 100ml bottles in my country. One for my argentinian friend Pollux, and the other for my collection!
An amazing fragrance, smoky, leathery, with beautiful accords and well blended

Just ordered Memoir Men.

Seems like online discount sites really jacked up the price of Creeds since I bought my last fragrance... So I ended up buying these retail so I didn't have to wait for them.

- 4oz Creed Millesime Imperial
- 4oz Creed Virgin Island Water
- 6.8oz Terre d'Hermes
- 4.2oz Polo Double Black

I wore that once. It had a lot going on. To me, it was like a massive car wreck that you just had to stop and look and once drawn in, wow, you could not leave. I can not wear it, but I think if you can, everyone should try it like I did.

I actually really like it. I can't really describe it that well, especially since I've never smelled DG By Man, which it's often compared to. But, it's a slightly sweet and spicy scent that doesn't feel very heavy at all, perhaps a little powder in there too. It's good stuff.

Back from my NY trip, with:

Shalimar Ode de la Vanille by Guerlain

Vanilla Cinnamon Body Water + Shower Gel + Body Lotion by Korres

post #43 of 222
Nice one Mike - I like Ode a la Vanille a lot, hope you enjoy it. A lot more thought has gone into it than the name might suggest IMO - it's like TW cleared space for the vanilla and then didn't use the vanilla you might expect . . . I think it's a very subtle and satisfying take on a classic.

Hit Guerlain on the weekend with Frowned Upon & Coconut (homme and femme respectively) and they were both also very pleasantly surprised.

Chanel Antaeus. I have not owned this one for a few years now. I first smelled it in college in either '85 or '86. I sampled it in Bloomingdale's a few weeks back and I decided it was time again, even if it's been "tweaked". A buddy in college wore it to great effect. He rocked Antaeus and I rocked Kouros.

Love Bulgari black.

Tonight whilst at Marshall's in podunkville, TX, came across a gift set of John Varvatos - at $29 it was a steal for the 3.4oz EDT and lotion. My guess was the package was damaged but the bottles were pristine.

They also had Faconnable (the original one) for $24 but I passed on that scent, IMO it is undistinguished.
