Used rose scented soap in the shower, and really wanted the party to continue! (Black Aoud)

Some (late :cry: ) samples from TPC. Bentley Intense (gift for Dad), MMM Replica By the Fireplace (gift for wife), CDG Ouarzazate and CDG Black for me :coolold:

Ooh yeah that's the idea. Or maybe one from the "Jardin" series. I've smelled one of them and it was nice

I've never worn TdH, but I immediately thought "modern Tsar" when I first put on BV. Less moist green and more spiced wood, but puts out the same vibe in my book

I personally dont find the opening of the current stuff offensive at all. In fact the civet in Shalimar (which I still enjoy in spite of this) is much more urinous to me.

My wife says Bottega Veneta PH smells like "nail polish remover". I assume she means acetone and I don't smell it at all. Needless to say I finished my sample and that was that.

Try Aqua Quorum... Think Cool Water but but more herbal. It's also pretty short-lived and dirt cheap at Marshall's, etc.

Everyone is making fun, but I think it's a fantastically cool bottle... I can't be the only gun guy on this forum lol...

Absolutely. Although it is awesome, you MIGHT feel restricted in when you can wear it. For me it is strictly a "Christmas Spirit" type thing, thanksgiving through new years.
