Samples of: -

[Sol invictus]

YSL - La nuit de l'homme

[martinijo]

Could probably do Cool Water and or Encre Noir as well, but E.N is hard to use correctly for me (too much casual life ) and CW is just ... overused? Hopefully people are starting to forget about CW just about now tho, so the time could be right.[/QUOTE]


I was wondering the same thing about CW. I don't have any generic young men's fragrances and am pondering getting this one.
This week bought Dior Homme and Michael Kors.

[Moose]

Bought a nice big bottle of Aramis today. Not buying anything else until September :S Wish me luck, I'm going to need it.

[Musicman1810]

I bought this fragrance, too (La Nuit de L'Homme) and I am really enjoying it. I also have the original L'Homme. Like them both.

[cpp214]

Bought a 1.7oz Platinum Egoiste tonight.

This is my 2nd go-around with this fragrance.
The 1st time I tried it, it gave me a headache
and/or would make me sneeze. I'm testing it
out again tonight, and it's working great so far

Honestly, the first time I can say that I've gone
back to a fragrance and done a 180.
I'm glad I tried it out again.

[Beranium Chotato]

Samples of all 12 Tom Ford Private Blend.

[Ivory88]

My third Parfum d'Empire -- I think this is becoming my favorite house. I love citrus frags, and he does them oh-so-well.

[Savitar]

Noir de Noir & Arabian Nights.

[Randall Flagg]

Bought a nice big bottle of Aramis today. Not buying anything else until September :S Wish me luck, I'm going to need it.

That's a long stint. Good luck. Any reason why Sepetember?

Been thinking about these two since my last sample haul:
M. Micallef Homme (Aoud)

Montale Red Aoud

[Moose]

That's a long stint. Good luck. Any reason why Sepetember?

Saving for a holiday in summer, then next student loan payment after that will be September. I'll be going off the rails with that - Ambre Russe and Cuir Ottoman.

[Lorna_May]

My third Parfum d'Empire -- I think this is becoming my favorite house. I love citrus frags, and he does them oh-so-well.

I agree. My most preferred d'Empire scents are their citruses.
Nice parfum!!!

[Lorna_May]

Aoud Damascus & Intense Tiare

[Kron]

Great choice, Aoud Damascus gets a huge thumbs up from me!

[Beranium Chotato]

they look lovely I should try and get my hands on them too if possible.

Perfumed Court sells them as a set, which makes it quite easy. I got the 2.5ML size which was probably a bit unnecessary.

[Oupavoc]

[del]

Givenchy Play Intense - Bought last Monday, MLK Jr. Day for $38 (50% discount)

[fragranceman88]

Also, I bought Habit Rouge. My collection was needing a male Guerlain classic :-)

[peevish_yolk]

Aqua Universalis Forte

[mikeperez23]

Old English Lavender by Yardley (vintage juice)



I never really liked the new juice on shelves (too sharp), the vintage juice has some of the top notes bruised but the middle/base are totally fine. I bet there are some nitro-musks (now banned) in this, it has a very substantial (but still light) presence. Not as sharp as the Lavanda Tonica by Acqua di Parma I already own and a bit more restrained than the very musky Caldey Island Lavender Water. I should perhaps investigate layering this with some lavender scented talc or lotion to give it more oomph.
