...thanks! I kind of lost track in the niche maze, so I decided to first go back to some discontinued 'masterpieces' from the past: Monsieur Rochas and Tactics (Shiseido) will follow...!

75ml of Creed MI -- Batch: A3309W02
I get heavenly watermelon+sea salt with this batch.

I have used 120ml MI Batch: A3310B03 with no watermelon note at all. By the way, the tester at Creed counter has really lush watermelon, I should looking at the batch number next time.

Though, I'm concerned, if you look at the cap, the letters are a blue color, yet on the official website, they're black. (http://www.bondno9.com/images/photos...jpg?1253522145) What gives? Trying to make look more attractive on Bond's site and that's not the actual look or?

L'Essence de Cerutti by Cerutti

Had over $100.00 in my Paypal account from various items I've sold on eBay. Decided to blind buy this since it was so cheap (100 ml for $29.99)
post #51 of 278
Lead us not into temptation...

Today I DIDN'T buy French Lover (but it would have been an impulse purchase if it were $50 cheaper), Sequoia and Avignon. I was so close to giving into the impulse. Now I must be strong and convince myself I'm better off buying decants of these as well as the rest of the incense line rather than a FB of just a couple of scents.
