BMM10 The Road To The Final Spritz: Comme des Garcons Region Preview

Welcome back to Spritz Center for this last preview of the tournament before we get down to action on Monday. I’m your host Somerville Metro Man. One last reminder to enter the prediction contest, the details of which are in the link below:

You will be kicking yourself if you don’t enter once you see what bluesoul has planned; so get those entries in by Sunday night.

The Comme des Garcons region is the most balanced of the regions and there are some very interesting match-ups in store. The #1 seed Yves St. Laurent Kouros should dispose of the #16 seed Tom Ford Black Orchid but I think Bvlgari Aqua will give Kouros a good run in the second round. The ultimate Upstairs/Downstairs match-up of the tournament takes place in the other half of the sub-region as Old Spice tried to ride its “man on a horse” right over the royalty of Creed Himalaya. I think Creed will take the real men of Old Spice for a ride, not on a horse, but out of the tournament. Next for Himalaya will be the winner of Dior Eau Sauvage/Chanel Coromandel which looks like a toss-up but I’m going to give the edge to Eau Sauvage before going down to Himalaya to set up a Creed vs.Yves St. Laurent smackdown in the Regional semifinal.

The other half of the region is designer duels galore with one niche knockdown. Guerlain Heritage will edge Acqua di Gio before facing Yves St. Laurent Rive Gauche pour Homme. Tauer L’air du Desert Marocain will defeat Creed Millesime Imperial followed by an easy win over Bvlgari Black before going down to Rive Gauche PH which will set up an all Yves St. Laurent Regional Final of Rive Gauche PH versus Kouros which could be memorable.

That’s the end of the previews I’ll be back as the tournament progresses with recaps of the action all the way until we crown the eventual winner of the Golden Flacon at The Final Spritz.
Remember to get those predictions in by Sunday night.
Until Tuesday with the results of The War of The Roses, Somerville Metro Man…Out!!

The hotspot in this brackets seems to be the 2nd round match where the possible winners are Old Spice, Himalaya, Eau Sauvage, and Coromandel. There's very little consensus there, but there does seem to be a consensus selection of Rive Gauche ultimately winning the region. I don't see this region as quite as exciting as the Serge Lutens or Guerlain regions, honestly.
