Today I Bought: November 2012 - Page 3

Picked up Mont Blanc Individuel 50ml and Cuba Gold by pdc 100ml for a grand total of $35.
I am liking both! My faith in blind buys is going up. My current track record for bottles is 1 really good, 1 pretty good, 1 decent and 1 badish.

Mont Blanc Individuel is a fantastic fragrance, especially for the price.

I really like the Pure Instinct, nice winter musk with a touch of coconut.

There is a middle part before Individuel dries down full where I get a synthetic soap on my skin. The opening and base are great for the money, though. Cuba is a good backup for work or gym.

Absolutely love Mont Blanc Individuel, its pretty much identical to Creed Original Santal for a fraction of the cost. There are some slight differences, but most won't notice. One of the best value fragrances out there in my opinion.

Nice job, bro. So far I've been lucky with my only 2 blind buys. Got Quorum and Grey Flannel at TJ Maxx, for $15 and $13, and like both of 'em.

Any chance you could post a picture of that 1000ml Fierce bottle beside a standard bottle? I've been intrigued about the size of the bottle since hearing of its limited release.

Sean John Unforgivable is great. Have worn it since it first came out. It's getting harder and harder to find it these days. Enjoy.

Sure can!

Tracking says it'll be here around the 26th. I have a 3.4 and a 6.7 oz I'll include in the pic for a size comparison.

Mid-month score = Ungaro II (via another successful Basenotes swap), Azarro Silver Black (another successful Basenotes swap), and four more Smell Bents - Frankensmellie "Dark Green Citrus" (absolutely heavenly), "Scrooged Pooch" (a holiday chypre), "Jackie-O-Lantern" (a holiday gourmand), and "Mocktail" (a fizzy citrus).

Thanks! Set me back quite a bit but I thought it would be worth it to make sure it's real.

There is currently a bottle for sale on french ebay. Just double check as the seller has posted "Escada Eau de Toilette pour Homme 100ml" but the ad is showing the picture of a bottle of Escada Magnetism for men. Good luck !

Couple of nostalgia purchases.

1. Lagerfeld Photo (vintage). This is the scent that made me fall in love with fragrances, back in 1992. I have a bottle of the new formulation, but it's not nearly like what I remember. I wonder what I'll think of it when I finally smell it again? (It should be here by the end of the week.)

2. Hermes Rocabar. It's been years since I owned a bottle of this. I got so caught up in trying new things that I never got around to replacing the bottle I finished. But I smelled it at Neiman a couple weeks ago and was reminded just how much I loved this one.

I got it from eBay. My second purchase of the bottle because the first one I bought was fake. If you find one on there for less than 80 Euros then it's probably fake (100 ML).

Here is the thread I make a couple weeks ago. You can tell by the pictures that the word Escada was taped to the bottle and in the wrong position.

I didn't really intend to buy this till spring but put in a very low bid on EBAY. I was first and only bidder and got a 2.5 oz for 75$. Now I'm paranoid that it's to good to be true and am worried about a fake LOL.

2X75ml splash bottles of French-made Montana Parfum d'Homme Light came into my life via USPS today. Not listed in the Basenotes Directory or in PerfumeIntelligence.co.uk, this is basically a lighter version of the Red Box Montana Parfum d'Homme that seems to be slightly less expansive than, but to my nose containing all the delicious notes of, the original. I had not heard of this version until I saw it for sale here on the Basenotes For Sale Thread.

Today I bought A*MEN pure leather....
And the SA gave me two 1.4 ml sample vials of it.
they have the same box like the 100 ml parfum.
I love this flanker much better than the original and Im sorry guys but its completely diferent from A*MEN
even the drydown its not even close!
And the AMAZING thing is that I bought here in Portugal, Europe at 49 euros ( US$63 dollars )
