Clean dishwater smells like your average Invictus clone.

They'll all be sold at this rate. XD

I've never sampled any Molinards. I should.

Acqua di Selva by Victor/Visconti di Modrone (1949)

I got your back, although I've never smelled Mon Guerlain.

Hopefully it's something you can beat back. Two months is a long time to be sick. I hope you'll be okay.

Lasts all day too

I've smelled several English Laundry but I don't remember if Arrogant was among them. Used to own Windsor, but gave it away.

Paco Rabanne Ténéré (1988)

If you're weird, then it's in a way endearing to us, so no worries there. ;)

Balenciaga Ho Hang Club (1987)

I'm so sorry. You and his family have my condolences. His reviews were the reason I started writing on these boards instead of continuing to lurk and leech info for purchases as I had been doing. I...

I don't really see a troll, just a harsh opinion. Sort of a take-it-or-leave-it situation. At least they only attack the fragrance, as is proper, and not try to pick a fight with its wearers like...

Tsar by Van Cleef & Arpels (1989)

Mesmerize for Men is from 1992, and doesn't have much correlation to PS Fine Cologne. It shares more DNA with Chanel PM EdTC or EdP than Paul Sebastian.

Also, Mexican and Canadian produced...

No remorse
No regret
We don't care
What it meant

Another day
Another sniff
Another bottle
Another split

Montana Parfum d'Homme (1989)

I wasn't super serious about it anyway. I just wanted a reason to joke about the anxiety concerning "the list".

Strike that, and reverse it. :p

Another for the "endless list".

It's almost meme between us now.

Hermès H24 (2021)

Fantastic reply. Very helpful and informative. Someone should pin this if it was possible.

Claiborne Sport by Liz Claiborne (1997)

The parfum is smoother but a bit expensive for me.

Oh I'm not that clever, even after coffee.

Monsieur Musk by Parfums Parquet/New Dana (1973)

No flames from me, just curiousity to try it.

I feel the same about Or Black. I'd wear Sartorial more but it's so spendy now, I end up reaching for Chanel Platinum Égoïste or Luna Rossa Carbon which scratch the itch similarly.

You also hit...

This is why I tend to speak out against vintage/unicorn hype and veneration. You get fragrances lifted to literal godhood, then drop sick amounts of money only to get burned when the stuff fails to...

10 miles of ad copy.

I'll let my nose be the judge.

I'd like smelling that on a person too.

Just sampled and reviewed it. Not in the directory yet so like a lot of new releases, gotta zip on over to my blog section to see my thoughts.

I liked it. Very "90's night club" but in a good way.

Discontinued, so likely eBay. Probably won't be cheap.

Oh my God.

Avon Prospect (2003)

No compliments from me at work because I wear a badge. Outside work, all the most unlikely things get compliments, like old 60's musks and women's perfume worn on me (a man) in public.

Never any...

Coty Aspen (1989)

Cashing in on Cool Water's nonexistent brand cashet in 2021 sniffs of desperation. The coffers are empty in the ideas department.

I'm glad you saw the humor in my post.

Weird story: I've gotten people saying that Invictus smells like something from the 90's (and therefore old), while thinking Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger (which...

I feel like Celineman has ban-dodged yet again to preach the gospel of his lord and savior.

Tried that in years past. It's mostly a dead end.



Then when they eventually appear, I delete the blogs and repost in the directory.

Everyone's dropping spendy niche or vintage fragrances so I figured my reply had been glossed over and flushed. Glad someone agrees. It may not be the suggestion earning the most golf claps from the...

Elevendy-One years of age, like Bilbo Baggins.

But seriously, I was wearing English Leather (1949) in my teens, in the 90's. It's whatever smells good to you, that's what you wear, unless you're...

Sounds like it has nothing to do with Cool Water, same as the Intense flanker.

A light dusting of Montblanc Explorer.

When it dries down very late in the wear, you get faint whiffs of sage, the akigalawood, and the ambroxan. A lighter application gets you that faintness...

I caved and posted the reviews as blog entries, which unfairly funnels page views to my profile and not to the directory where the site can get ad revenue from them clicking a shopping link. If I...

But are these 100ml bottles refillable?

One Man Show Oud Edition (2014) because it layers on top the Perris Monte Carlo Oud Imperial (2012) I wore to bed with minimal conflict.

This is pretty much how I feel too, although I do like The Noir 29.

The cap's not black. I just used a lot of filters on that picture. It's actually silver.

Noir is discontinued, and already tough to find outside eBay or resellers at unfriendly prices.

I liked it when I reviewed it, as sort of a "men's Shalimar", but now that it's on the way to...

Any within easy reach of the east side. They didn't survive the pandemic.

If I can get my hands on it. Ulta is gone here, as are most Macy's, and Nordstrom doesn't like to handle Azzaro

Some random amusing names

Bogart One Man Show
Etat Libre d'Orage Fat Electrician
Yohhji Yamamoto I'm Not Going to Disturb You Homme
Avon Here's My Heart
Caron L'Anarchiste
Guerlain Vol de...

Very strong too

The amberwood might not be sweet, but definitely will be scratchy

I still love this one too. Should wear mine more.

Moschino pour Homme (1990)

Y Eau de Parfum is my favorite.

Where's John Walsh when you need him?

Actually, it's pretty much most Avon's made through the the 60's, then pretty much like every third Avon thereafter up until the 2010's where they finally started using more modern woody-ambers.

...

Dunhill for Men (1934)

I recognize this picture ;)

Things often get pretty hot where I'm from. :evil:

I like it, just spendy is all.

But we are the spicy bois. *wink*

Ferragamo Intense Leather (2021) and Y Le Parfum (2021) are missing. Sampled both, reviews witheld until entries exist for them.

@ Nosey & Cologne Cabinet who I couldn't reply to in the old locked thread:

Funny people think the medallion is worth anything when separated from the Brut bottles.

Kenzo pour Homme...

It's pretty fabulous stuff to be honest. It manages to be fruity without being overly sweet.

100% agree with you.

That said, I do still like Noir de Noir, just won't pay for it.

Only if Roger keeps the cheeky medallion.

I could fill the list with early Avon collecting but I'll keep it to one entry per house to force diversity.

Avon Black Suede (1980)
Azzaro pour Homme (1978)
Dior Eau Sauvage (1966)
Coty...

Being told you're not smelling something "properly" is like being told you can't appreciate a specific type of music because your ears aren't sophisticated enough. Pure egotism hubris trash.

I...

Portrait seems to be a bit of a unicorn so I haven't looked into it, but the original is around. Tell me how it is.

Brut by Fabergé (1964)

Kicking it the blue collar way today.

Gonna add this one to my list then.

Can't say I was paying attention to hype in 2012. I only signed up to browse the forum without getting hit with bot protection that thought I was one gor how often I used the directory. Took me...

I've never tried it. Been wanting to though.

Okay-ish if I caught them in the air on someone. Abysmal if I was forced to wear them myself. *wink*

150079

One Man Show (1980)

The first one to arrive, and the last one to leave.

Most recent I smelled it was 2019, and it was fine.

I found them both to be just okay-ish.

As I told someone else, it isn't worth the effort trying to become a discontinued "fragrance hedge fund manager" unless you already have a retail storefront and can afford to gamble with profits from...

Kanøn Cologne (1966)

Modern bottle, terrible performance but it was $5

Basically looking like a member of Devo.

Chanel pour Monsieur (1955)

It's a wind-up clock.

Good choices

I know who you aaaarrreeeee

Montblanc Individuel (2003)

Most violet notes in modern fragrances are pretty much created with different types of aromachemicals called ionones, so whether it's a leaf or the flower depends on if the perfumer puts a green note...

:dankk2:

I love this movie.

The sourness works well in chypres and Middle-Eastern fragrances, but I can see it being out of place in modern/clean/laundry/mass appeal fragrances.

Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Casual Life for something newer.
Burberry Touch for Him if you're okay with older.

Staying away from GIT/Cool Water/Aspen/Tres Nuit types because you've already smelled...

Aspen by Coty (1989)

A cheap thrill today. Hope nobody minds. :coolold:
