A BNer sent me a PM and said they were looking over my wardrobe and mentioned that I was missing something Big, Green and Scary.... what was this person referring to ?

Just wondering because I kinda like my wardrobe.

What if you don't like big green and scary?

As a matter of fact, I do like big and green - though that's not scary to me. And the best iof course is Bandit. Galbanum overload over s&m leather. I agree with the unknown BNers that you should add this to your wardrobe.

You do have some green, Ormonde Man, which is too marine/modern to me. And Yatagan, whose opening is a green vegetable blast in the face, and whose drydown is somewhat scary, in a nice way. But there's the whole world of green chypres you could look at, from the haughty Cristalle to the clean Futur.

Haha ... what an adventurous BNer he/she is.

Like Cacio, I was also going to suggest Bandit. Its green but what makes it big and scary are the butch leather and tar(resins) notes.

Only if they meant big, green and scary good... :-) I honestly don't know what they really were referring to, but maybe something like Slumberhouse Norne?

It might be Candour-H&G big, green and scarey (in a good way, of course)

Nersh you have nothing to worry about as I think you have a great wardrobe, maybe they were offended that you did not have Grey Flannel in your wardrobe.lol

You could maybe add Granville (Dior) & Yerbamate (Lorenzo Villoresi) to the above mentioned to try. Not scary tho.

Bogart ( the original classic from the 1970s and still being made).

Also, Sergio Soldano in the tan bottle. Not scary, but pretty green stuff. There is actually quite a few 1980s fragrances as such. What about Aramis Devin ( not 80s, but could be a potential bottle )?

Of course, you have to enjoy the fragrance yourself. Memoir Man is something I really like. Bandit....thats a tough one to wear. I have sampled it, but its been awhile

I think the easy thing to do would be to ask the person who sent the PM.

The more amusing part to me is that someone is reading your wardrobe and filling in the gaps for you. That person is very...industrious.

I think Norne might be kind of awesome in the AZ heat.
