post #3 of 374
Hi all
i was chasing the Thierry Mugler A-Men Metamorphoses Gift Set for Men (50ml EDT Spray / 50ml Hair & Body Shampoo / Bag), but here in portugal they sell it at 46 euros ( 58.24 USD) in stores, so i went to the internet and i found it at 51.91 USD
but today i received a sms of the local store saying that this weekend they will give a 20% discount in all parfumes, so i went there and brought the gift set at 45.58 USD!!!
It made my day

Glad you found a good deal. Enjoy the A*Men - it's a great fragrance.

Thanks, I was a bit worried about washing with something that has a tar note, lol!

I think the tar is missing in shampoo version

After pouring over the batches thread i decided to go with this guy.




Unfortunately the only batch number i recognized as being proven good from the thread was in 2.5 oz form, but better than getting a disappointing scent in a 4oz. Batch I got: C42B11N01

And for the gf...


Pure natural nectarine goodness.

Thank you Sir, told myself I wouldn't buy anything for awhile because I'm heading to Vegas in a few weeks, where they will have Saks, Barneys, designer boutiques etc, but you know how that ends up.

I've been nursing a sample of this for over a year; time to buy due to rumours of discontinuation/moving to Paris exclusive line.

Some great purchases in here already!

Personally I'm waiting on a delivery of Pure Havane.

And, after a LOOOOOOONG search, I finally tracked down Paul Smith London shower gel at a reasonable price. Arrived today. Happy days!

Today, I received in the mail:

-L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme
-Taste of Fragrance
-Sunessence

ToF is really pretty great! I'm glad that I decided to swap for it. I think over time, it may make it into my top 20.

Hello danny1967, I enjoy it very much, however I do not think it would appeal to the massive market ordinary consumer, Amber, Citrus and vetiver, would have been a better choice on Dior's exclusive line, nonetheless a great fragrance, and IMO retro and modern at the same time. cheers!

Today I bought Dior Homme Intense from my local Dior boutique. They had it hidden in the back as I guess many guys don't go in that store. Then I have PM coming in tomorrow with PH coming on Monday. Woo hoo.

Back to Black

Finally pushed the button on this, I think it's superb. I hope people in Hong Kong are finding their way to this cool little counter in Harvey Nicks (Pacific Place) . . . it's just great having By Kilian here and being able to browse and sample. Rose Oud seems nice.
