Everyone knows these I feel. That fragrance out there that has great reviews, or simply looks very promsiing, and much to your delight, is cheap! Well, relatively cheap. Cheap enough where you can justify a blind buy but not cheap enough where its a completely discardable amount of money. That fragrance which value and demand is to low to trade as well.

I have Four contenders, any input would be very appreciated! and 3 by the same house!


Thallium Black - Yves De Sistelle
Ted Lapidus Black Soul
Ted Lapidus Black Soul Imperial
Ted Lapidus TL Pour Homme


Thank you in advance gracious basenoters.

I am gonna go with Black Soul. The opening notes kinda made me raise an eyebrow....as if I had been hugged by some character from Jersey Shore . But its not soo bad after a while and the dry down reveals a nice tonka accord.

I'll have to break out my sample just to make sure.

I have a few of these untradable blind buy purchases myself....ugh, all 4 from one entire purchase are on my swap !

Thallium Black smells a lot like Pure Malt.

Thallium Black is very good for the low price. I recommend it. Black Soul is nice too, it reminds me quite a bit of Paco Rabanne One Million. Haven't tried the others.

Thanks guys for the input! Let me percolate a bit more and go with one of them soon. I am leaning towards Thalium, I don't know why but $20 is much more palatable than $30, go figure.

Thanks for the post, the title was actually inspired by a conversation we were having a little while ago. I have a horrible blind buy rate.

Tried
Ted Lapidus Black Soul
Ted Lapidus TL Pour Homme

Still own TL.

Edit - What's the verdict on Ted (Green Ted). Always was tempted to try it but Blue Ted/Excited didn't grab me at all...
