Aroma: Quite fresh for an amber fragrance. The opening notes of green mandarin and bergamot definitely lighten the richness of the warmer notes and keep Ambre Nue firmly aligned with the cologne...
this is like a well rehearsed opera. every note is in tune with each other.the 3 players are the amber/vanilla/incense mix. very intoxicating but also cloying after a few hours. I only have a 3ml...
Elegant, subtle, and refined,
For an introspective frame of mind.
Close to the skin, it lingers on,
I'll re-apply before it's gone.
I wish that it would longer stay,
But "Less is More,"...
Bentley for Men Intense opens with the faintest brief spray of dulled citrus mingling with a sheen of black pepper, before quickly adding laurel and cinnamon spiced smooth boozy rum-laced incense...

Lately I've been diggin' this retro synth John Carpenter-esque stuff. This album would've gone under my radar if not for Forced Exposure. Resident Advisor gave it 4/5 stars, frankly I don't know why they withheld the last star unless it was for PCA not including volume 3 in this set. I swear I'm seconds away from busting out the Escape From New York OST, lolz.
currently spinning: Primal Scream - Vanishing Point
Being the obsessive Andrew Weatherall fan that I was years ago, I went through the entire discography of theirs and I was extremely thrilled with the Weatherall-produced track, on this album, 'Trainspotting'. Still, my FAVORITE Primal Scream release is the 'Dixie Narco' EP. Every track is ace.

I have never heard of them (like so many artists that you post). Reminds me of the John Carpenter-esque stuff that Prurient (aka Dominick Fernow) is releasing like 'Time's Arrow'.

Oh cool, thanks for the recommend. I'm running down their back catalog as the first time around I was content with CDR's and mp3's. I'll keep an eye out for Dixie Narco. I luv that they did Vanishing Point as an alternate soundtrack to the 70's movie of the same name. How cool is that? And what a crazy cover of Motorhead!

That Prurient track is cool. When I left off with Prurient it was harsh noise. Seems the John Carpenter style stuff is trending. John Olson from Wolf Eyes is doing Moon Pool & Dead Band (Carpenter-esque), Andy Votel's new project Xian Orphic is like a mix of Klaus Shultze (Ash Ra Tempel, Tangerine Dream, etc.) and John Carpenter.
Heard a Belly song on the radio this morning (who plays them anymore?) and got in the mood for some rare Tanya-led Muses (firmly camp Kristin here usually!).
Been listening to a lot of Pet Shop Boys for the last couple of days (I go through these PSB phases), the new album has some highlights (the track 'A Face Like That' is fantastic) but their single which is sort of okay, has three wonderful B-sides, one of which is addictive...
