Santa didn't bring me squat, he never does. I however got my Aventus 4oz in the mail yesterday, and I'm waiting on Fissore Cashmere for Men and TdH to come.

Yes. He is one of my favorite actors of all time, although somewhat lesser known. I love him in "Dial M for Murder." Pure elegance and style.

No colognes....my friends and family think I have way too many already. However, I disproved their theory by buying myself Tobacco Vanille, Original Vetiver and Vanille 44. I also gave out Gucci Pour Homme (original) and a Windsor decant as gifts this year.

Sadly what my girlfriend got for Xmas was a severe kidney infection which meant I ended up rushing her into hospital where she will remain for the rest of Christmas. I've just got back from the hospital and I'm knackered. I never did get to cook Christmas dinner.

I went and exchange my Allure Edition Blanche that I got for my birthday from my wife and got her Coco Mademoiselle,
And saw a great for a Paloma Picasso @ Marshalls so she got these two.
Me, well I'll get me something nice later! Now what would that be?

I'd normally concur but I'm actually very worried about her, her condition is very serious.

Got both. Score! I requested the HR blind, based on its reputation. Been wearing it since I opened it this morning. Awesome stuff...could last a little longer, though.

This is a bummer. This sucks either way, but on Christmas? I hope she is okay.

Hopefully it is just a UTI and not some sort of acute kidney injury. I don't want to speculate and get you worried. I hope she gets well!

Mrs. Cologneguy bought me JHL. I bought her Chanel No. 19. I bought my stepmom Le Heure Bleu. I bought myself a flacon of Creed Cuir de Russie, and smaller bottles of Halston Amber Man and Chanel Coromandel. Santa was watching, and I was obviously the best of the three of us this year. I'm thinking of treating myself to Dior Dune Homme, too.
