I used to own Gucci Envy for Men. I paid £20 around 2015. No way I will pay £300 even if I win the lottery. While people do it keeps the price artificially high; it is pretty much on par with new...

Après L'Ondée Eau de Toilette is also discontinued. I think it's being rereleased as an EdP though.

Mine has the black sprayer, it can be used as a splash as it has a screw off top. Never seen the silver top.

I should have checked I thought it was released in 2017 for some reason. I probably got confused with their summer edition I see on sale.

Unlikely but not impossible. Shock has only been in production for a few years, no doubt the original CK one has been reformulated.

I have a big bottle of it as it was incredibly cheap. I like it,...

Chypre Mojito - PG

I really like this one. I think even though fig isn't unique the way it blends with the plum and the spice has a sort of boozy intoxicating feel which I get with things like Thé Noir 29, but didn't...

Marc Jacobs Bang sampling it.

Some people may argue because it rarely gets mentioned as being Cola like, but I always thought Gucci Envy for Men sometimes smelt like cola on first spray.

The advantage of being at home is you can wear outrageous things.

Niche can be smaller perfume houses or ones which aren't easily available in places like Boots. Not all niche carries a high price tag either, it's confusing, but it is to differentiate from designer...

Orlando by Jardins D'Ecrivains I found quite dark, gothic or Victorian and it has a sort of floral muskiness. I wasn't a fan; it's not for me, but it might fit the bill.

Only tried Hyrax and Squid as samples. Both great, some of the best I tried last year. I'm not bothered who the perfumer is, more interested in the concept and composition. Victor Wong has managed to...

1) Paul Smith Extreme Men by Paul Smith
2) L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme by Guerlain
3) Tie - CK One Shock \ Marc Jacobs Bang

I've been watching Les Voleurs (1996)

Top ones show Laurence Côte (?) in a perfume shop. Various Creed fragrances on the top, underneath Chanel No.5 and Chanel in a black box (unsure what it is)....

Good interview. I would like to try their stuff.

Bulgari Black

Chanel's Cuir De Ruisse or Caron's Tabac Blond. Really curious about the early long discontinued Guerlain's from the 1800s as well.

If it's a case of owning the originals it would be a lot of...

Paul Smith London For Men Eau De Parfum (Not sure if 2019 or 2020 for launch)

The EdT version is long since discontinued (2009?). This has slightly different notes replacing Vetiver with Brandy
...

I've tried Hyrax and Squid. Squid has a big black pepper and salt. Hyrax has a sort of dirty hamster cage thing and smells sort of like hot sand. Hyrax lasts longer and has bigger projection, but...

With a search I found this which has frozen pear and cedarwood.

I have to agree, not a fan of the graffiti logo. I was surprised the bottle was painted, after seeing pictures online before I bought it I presumed it was a plastic sleeve. The sprayer also drenched...

I forgot Diesel only the brave, IMO designed to appeal to teenage boys. I also think the Nemo Y-shaped bottle looks weird.

Jeremy Scott was the creative director at the time, not sure if he still is. He put bear designs on the t-shirts as well. I think it's fun.

I had the same thing when I sampled it, not sure what note it is because I've been ok with other fragrances containing ambroxan. Phaiedon Rouge had the same effect.

Worst: Sombre. Maybe that's...

Coach and 1 Million and its flankers.

Good start to the year.

I know they're not premium, but Axe\Lynx have released some new ones this year (2020):

Lynx Africa & Marmite
Notes: Lavandin, white moss and green herbs, Sandalwood, Cedar wood, Marmite.
Limited...

I think Song of Everlasting Sorrow is missing as well.

Prada Amber Pour Homme - recent 50ml bottle purchase. I know it is powdery, but something in it reminds me of Guerlains Apree l'Ondee maybe just the powderyness. Surprisingly good longevity fir an...

Laura Ashley No.1 Noir
Feminine fragrance
I'm not sure of the launch year.

"Laura Ashley No.1 Noir Eau de Parfum is a white floral fragrance for women. Classed as a woody, sweet, fruity and...

Wafts From the Loft, Greggieboy78 (although he hasn't posted anything new for years) and Mr Smelly if he's reviewing something I'm interested in.

100% this.

Looking based on stock lists I think the discontinued are:
Mouchoir de Monsieur
Apree L'ondee
Guerlain Homme EDT?
Vetiver Extreme EDT

Mojito Chypre Pierre Guillaume has an incredibly bright strawberry and lime note.

I really like it, but not enough to buy a full bottle (Gucci Guilty Absolute).

Honestly and some might disagree, but last lockdown I picked up sample packs and I think they are the way ro go if you don't know what to get.

I first saw this on the front page under new fragrances and thought it was another cheapie from Avon. I didn't realize it was made of gold. As we know Avon have a knack for novelty packaging. This...

I've tried some of the Playboy deodorants and honestly they're OK. These are by talented perfumers, but not for me I'm afraid.

Paul Smith Men or Extreme Men - when I owned them they were both around £15-£20 in the UK.

Gucci Guilty Absolute pour Homme by Gucci

Worn it a few times this year. I'm going to use up the sample.

Mojito Chypre by PG. Need something uplifting as we go into second lockdown.

Après L'Ondée was really hard to find earlier this year in the UK with it out of stock from the major retailers, John Lewis, Debenhams etc seems to be back now.

Le Mâle Le Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier

Not worn this in a while, giving the sample a second chance.

Ciel d'Airain last of the sample.

Sécrétions Magnifiques by Etat Libre d'Orange

Feeling brave for Halloween.

Squid by Zoologist Perfumes

Using up sample.

Orlando by Jardins D'Ecrivains - Giving the sample another go.

Boss The Scent Intense

Last of my sample.

Terre d'Hermès by Hermès EdT version
I haven't worn this in months. I forgot how good it was.

Bulgari Black
Original Fahrenheit
Early formulations of Le Male
Early formulations of L'Eau d'Issey
Amarige Mariage despite being a female perfume, I remember being quite delicious.
Chic For Men...

Thé Noir 29 by Le Labo

Trying out my samples.

Squid by Zoologist Perfumes

Seeing how it performs in hot weather.

Two Joblots of Fragrance Samples:

Mojito Chypre from PG. Feeling fruity.

Ombre leather TF playing it safe.

Slow Explosions by Imaginary Authors

Something a bit less bold today.

Vi Et Armis by Beaufort. Start of the month so something new.

Nice choice I find it quite floral and almost uplifting.

Ukiyo-E something a bit lighter for work.

Nuit de Bakélite by Naomi Goodsir

Last bombastic fragrance before I'm back at work.

Sombre by Strangers Parfumerie

Thought I would wear something bombastic before I am back at work next week.

Musc Maori 04 by Parfumerie Generale

I've got some perfume samples and I've worn Pierre Guillaume's fragrances for two days in a row, I decided to make it a hat trick.

In my opinion if money is no object, the best jeans are made in either Japan or Italy.

YSL Opium pour Homme

Hi. I own a bottle of Pecksniff's Leather. I was wondering if it is the same as Aromatic Chrype (their other fragrance) only repackaged under a different name; I know it is older than Aromatic...
