This was my first fragrance after I finished college and started my first job. A man I worked with said "that's not for a young girl you need something for a young girl". To me, Diorissimo...
What? "You need 6 sprays for it to last, oohh...." "It smells American" "It reminds me of a laundry gel (????)" What the F&%* is wrong with (some) reviewers here? Are you this kind of snobbish...
I would imagine that those who love Le Mâle by Jean Paul Gaultier(LM) might love the combination of worlds here in Armani Code Ultimate (ACU). I find it strange as I have not yet learned to love...
this is easily the worst amouage i've tried & i've tried most. a cloying clove cluster that really sends a feeling of nausea through the system. i persevered through the interminable dyrdown (it...
I went shopping for a new perfume in March and had difficulty finding something new to try at Sephora. The scents at the store become blended after smelling a few samples. I decided to buy...
I bought 2x Davidoff "Relax" 2.5 oz (75 ml) as it is aaaaaaalmost extinct here in Europe for about 60 euros each. Probably old bottles but they smell (both) like they are new and I am really happy with them. Will use them not that often so I can enjoy them for about 5 years at least.
I blind bought 250ml of Dior's Cologne Blanche - and hated it!
I then blind swapped it to, among other frags, HdP 1804, which
I also hated! *tsk tsk tsk*
€75 each, plus shipping, for Knize Two and Knize Sec. Knize's masculine offerings may not be the most extensive, numerous, or accessible, but all four are well worth the price.
Gosh, I can't remember... maybe a bottle of Cuir Ottoman? Not anything too outrageous, it's still in my collection and I still enjoy it.
I could see myself easily pulling the trigger on SL Tubereuse Criminelle only because the reviews make it sound peculiar enough that I'd really like it, but I'll probably try it first.
Le Labo Santal 33 - blind bought 100ml. Loved it. $160
Blind bought Pure Malt - hated it. Gifted(SaintPaulia lol) it away. $70
Aventus & Azure Lime. Not a blind buy per se. More of a blind gift. A friend brought them back for me.
Iris Pallida - $115 - loved it
L'Air du desert marocain - $125 - loved it
Paestum Rose $120 - loved it
L'Anonyme ou OP-1475-A - $25 - loved it
Vetiver Extraordinaire - $240 loved it
Musc Ravageur - $240 - loved it
Santal Noble - $140 (vintage)
$230 on Xerjoff's 1861. Hasn't arrived yet, but I'm optimistic. (And just my luck, I see a bottle is already for sale in the Marketplace for a substantial savings. Dammit.)
I would not take risks usually over a certain dollar amount, but my most expensive blind buy without officially sampling? I 'd have to say $80 for Chanel Pour Monsieur (non concentree, which I do love) 3.4 oz . I figured it would be a safe bet as I enjoy many of the other Chanels owned and sampled, plus others from the 60s and 70s.
around $120 after taxes and shipping on a 50ml bottle of Black Aoud. Found it to be an incredible scent, however, one that I really couldn't wear. Worked out very well for me, though, because I ended up trading it for a bottle of Pure Malt and I love that fragrance.
Creed Bois Du Portugal for full retail - in Australia! My daughter hated it and said I smelled like an old folks home I wasn't that fond of it either, although I can kind of appreciate it - just not wear it.
Been in the cupboard for a couple of years now.......... I'll try it again sometime.
