Cuir de Russie has striked my heart, besides of Coromandel which is also GORGEOUS! cheers!

They can order the pure parfums from France they've told me before. Not sure if they still can though.
And Cuir de Russie is also high on my fav list. Awesome that one.
They gave me 2 more samples, so I can still enjoy it a few times more before I make up my mind.

Hello Le Grand Duc (I am sorry for bothering here, however your mail box is full, and I would like to have your advice)

First of all, congratulations for the wonderful videos you have been posting on youtube, I Love them, besides, I have learned a great deal with your powerful fragrance collection and although I love Niche, there are still so many gorgeous Mainstream fragrances out there, e.g. Chanel Egoiste one of my favorites ever!
In addition, because of your videos I have learned about the " Poisons "
Anyways, I have found a fragrance that I am interested purchasing, at a Danish Website, however I am not familiar with this company, hence my question, have you ever placed an order with them?

Thank you for your advice, and looking forward to seeing you on youtube.

Cheers,

For $80.

Great deal, the next lowest price for 75ml of LIDGE was for $113.

My strategy was simple, if a bit dubious and unethical (to some eyes). Successful ebay auction snipe. Waited to the last minute before the auction would end, had two screens open simultaneously, watching the clock tick down on one, and waiting to press "Confirm Bid" on the other.

10 seconds before the auction would end, I placed my highest bid of $106, and the highest bid up to then was $79.

Needless to say, I won with singular precision and focus.

I am absolutely sure one of you was bidding on it and felt I needed to share. It was a glorious victory.

That price is just the going retail price here in the UK i guess it must be more expensive elsewhere. Congrats though on a awesome fragrance.
post #148 of 388
Well, it's not available for sale in the U.S. and hard to find.

Average price for it on eBay/Amazon is $120-$130.

Vintage Lavender by Crabtree & Evelyn



Prompted by posts from Ody, I decided to nab a bottle of this on eBay at a great price. The date on the box is 1988 (the year I graduated high school!) so it's definitely vintage. The top notes are slightly bruised but the middle/base are very much intact - strong, medicinal, sharp, mossy. GREAT! Now that I have my new Caron (Les Plus Belles Lavandes de Caron) and this one, I am set for a while for my lavender needs.

Hey I have one of those from a gift set I purchased a long while back. Haven't used it yet.

I've never used any deodorant that comes with a fragrance. Do they work well?

Haven't tried it yet, but will let you know when I use it. I don't have a high expectation, though. :-P

Narciso Rodriquez for Him Musc Collection



Equipage for a good price, the SA at Hermes counter in a department store offered me lower price than the price Hermes Boutique offer --the boutique is less than 20 metres away from that counter--. Furthermore, also I use my member card and discount coupont.



The friendly Hermes SA also gave me 15ml of Eau de Orange Vert and 7.5ml of Kelly Caleche --which I am going to try tonight to see if man can wear it--.

Chanel - Les Exclusifs - Cuir de Russie - Parfum




I would like to mention the excellence of Services provided by Place Vandome in Belgium - Wevelgem.
I was helped by Daphne, she was extremely helpful answering my questions, and dispatching Cuir de Russie very quickly.
Product was carefully packed and they were extremely generous on regards to samples, I have been granted with the best services you could possibly expect.
I have found a video showing their Store (Video is in French, however even if you don't speak French, I know for sure that these images will fill your eyes with joy) and I am amazed with their exquisite fragrance range.
I hope to be visiting their treasure store soon. Have a nice weekend all!
