I'm back in the coffee shop eating a powdered, raspberry pastry with this one.

Arabian Oud Blue Oud set (100ml spray and 22ml attar, I believe). Been eyeing this one since I first stumbled upon it. Not much in terms of reviews out there, but the few that exist are...

Never noticed before, but this is actually listed on Fragrantica. One person voted it as a great value while the only other vote was way overpriced, lol.

Arabian Oud Kashmir. Been wearing this a few days the past week. Japanese Yuzu, Black Currant, Plum over some oud, rose and jasmine followed by a base of white musk, oud and vanilla. This stuff is...

I was lost at "remote controlled sprayer."

The most recent bottle I purchased of this earlier this month, the oregano seemed less prominent. What surprised me the most was the bergamot was quite noticeable whereas it wasn't for me before in...

Starts around the 4:00 mark.

Hint: It's from Spirit of Dubai, but the whole "presentation" is so over the top! $1.6 MILLION.

I got something more akin to Bond No 9 New York Oud (and no coffee, either.)

Arabian Oud Kashmir.

My bottle just arrived. First of all, this box/bottle is HEAVY. The shipping weight was over 2lbs. It comes with a matching bag complete with felt and metal...

I had been eyeing Gucci Guilty Oud recently, but looking online it doesn't appear to be available locally to try out (did this disappear from stores already? Macy's and Ulta don't appear...

I've shopped there before when I was living in Virginia a couple of years ago. Super-friendly and left you to sample your heart out. Such a great variety, too. Honestly, I tried so many fragrances...

There are teams out there that would snap him up - yes, I do believe that, just because of his pedigree at this point (via association with the Steelers and a winning organization vs what he's...

Chopard Or de Calambac.

Any Steeler fan saw this coming. You don't waltz into the playoffs winning one game out of your last five and expect to win. I'm about 75% toward Ben retiring. Tomlin just needs to go, period. ...

That's like spotting a unicorn! I've looked off and on for this over the years and haven't been able to find it.

Bond No 9 Dubai Amber

I had TL 8.4oz when it first came out (2008 maybe?) and it wasn't linear to me at all. My niece would tell you it opened smelling "like a grandma," whatever that means - though I assume it's the...

My bottle of Resala from Arabian Oud arrived today. First off, the presentation is top notch - BUT - totally impractical. I say this because, just as with a reviewer on YouTube, my package arrived...

That could be (Rose d'Arabie), but the one I was thinking of just came to mind: Bond NY Oud. Slightly different, but similar in overall effect and feel (at least the opening.) NY Oud has that...

Just a couple of quick impressions, cause I love it when packages are delivered first thing in the morning!

Xerjoff Naxos - Glad I got a full bottle. I have owned Havana for a while, but I've...

Useless debit cards make great wallpaper!

Actually, it's supposed to be delivered today -- per USPS Informed Delivery. The image of the mail was scanned and that was in it. Of course, that's...

It's Resala, by Arabian Oud.

LOL, same thing with me: got a package stating package was delivered, but it was for the one delivered yesterday. They're just teasing. It's like, I can see Newman sitting there at some computer...

Very good! Very, very similar to Tom Ford’s Amber Absolute. Perhaps a little lighter, but overall it’s in the same ballpark.

It's been on my radar. Heard many good things about it and was able to find it back in stock.

Harrod's has 10% off and Rakuten had 10% cash back yesterday, but despite that, I held off grabbing Interlude Man 53 as my sample just arrived yesterday. Samples can be really tricky to test from,...

To start the day, from a sample...

...then, after 2nd work-out and showering (to which I could still smell the above), for the evening:

Amouage Interlude 53 - from a sample. This opens noticeably different to my nose. There's a definite "greenness" to it, but I don't smell oregano, per se. If it's there, it's not as sharp and...

Hmmm, odd one from FedEx. Both packages coming from Canada, one from Fragrancebuy.ca and the other from NichEssence.com. As some might know, Fragrancebuy ships once a week to the USA, but takes...

My Fragrancebuy.ca order has arrived and both these are stunning! The Chopard really, really surprised me as I wasn't sure what to expect other than the notes call to mind Mexican hot chocolate (and...

I had a bottle of this 10-15 years ago. I found it easier to wear than the regular Polo which always, to me, made me feel very self-conscious when wearing it (just brings back the mid 80's). Every...

Happy New Year!

Oh yeah, still no debit card. I got an alert from the bank on Monday that it was sent and to allow 4-6 days - I'm hoping Saturday which looks like it's going to be a very fragrant day (two packages...

For what it's worth, the last two items I'm expecting via USPS had labels created Dec. 16 and Dec. 26 with no updates in the system. The Dec. 16 one, I was informed ahead of time wouldn't go out...

That's how mine have read many times when they get hung up. Doesn't make one iota of sense - sort of like "New and Improved!" It can't be both, either one or the other. My guess is the package has...

I still feel guilty: I got mine off eBay two years ago for a whopping $63.90. I have no idea why it says eau du parfum after the fact, but it's definitely parfum.

You've been hit by--a smooth criminal.

Ani are you ok? Are you ok, Ani?

You're welcome! The bottle is actually about 1.4lbs. I just weighed it, lol. It is heavy for a bottle, though!

Dior Homme Parfum is really nice, but not something I would wear in warmer weather. It's dense, dark, leathery, rose and a touch of oud along with the line's typical dna. How about something like...

I have a friend who worked in the import/export business with a company before another employee and he broke off with a third located in Japan to start their own business as direct competition to...

You and I must have read two different postings. I didn't get what you said, at all.

I did, but haven't checked the confirmation. I requested a couple of other Xerjoffs (Golden Dallah and More Than Words, plus Amouage Library Series Opus XI.) Just checked and didn't see any...

Profumum Ambra Aurea. Ambergris with Frankincense and Myrrh. Is it 100% natural ambergris? Beats me - Profumum Roma typically uses really high-quality ingredients, but at any rate it is quite a...

Couldn't resist one more before year's end with 30% off and free shipping. Also bought a 2ml sample of Interlude Man 53 to try out and see if it's something I may want to splurge on down the road. ...

Now there's a top notch amber scent (or just scent overall!)

I wouldn't doubt it! As soon as I got off the phone with the bank, my digital replacement card was deleted automatically from my Apple Pay wallet. So, we'll just have to wait 4-6 days... again. At...

Good luck! Prices have gone up - I got mine on eBay but the seller adjusted the prices based on quantity. It's a good, "lighter" take on amber (not overly thick/dense and resinous as some are) - but...

Thankfully, I have a nearly full bottle I don't wear nearly enough. Might have to look and see how high prices are rising and mull a backup (or two.)

Yay, finally delivered! Unfortunately, my new debit card was a no-show yet again so I had to call Bank of America, cancel it and have them send yet another new one. What a PITA. I'm tempted to...

I'll jump on the Bond no 9 wagon with a new arrival for me (literally, it's still cold!)

Nichessence.com in Canada has 30% off everything for their Boxing Day sale, plus free shipping over $75.

https://d3pllp7nz3wmw5.cloudfront.net/product_images/13782622205_FULL.jpg

I'm tempted. I found it online for 30% off. Must... resist... temptation... lol. I sprayed some of my sample on and I really, really don't get much of anything feminine about this. The base notes...

I'll give USPS credit - they're working the holiday. Looks like package will arrive tomorrow and the expected delivery date was next Tuesday (11 days after shipping.)

I haven't, but this particular one was released just last year. I've only purchased my first, the Black Incense, after many years since *gasp* Casran! That used to get a lot of discussion back on...

One last splurge for the year. Fragrancebuy.ca has a Boxing Day sale, 10% off (over $99 pre-tax Canadian) with free shipping. I found the D&G for a big discount minus its cellophane (whether it's...

It is good stuff! I originally bought Enclave and received a sample of this, but it's on my shortlist for next year.

I read a similar article yesterday where it was noted that OSHA was called out to the Regional Distribution Center in Philly because there wasn't room to walk, but had no comment. They showed a...

The mail has come and gone. My Macy's order was delivered, guess I'll be sending that one back. No replacement card. I called the bank (Bank of America) and told them I'd wait until Saturday. For...

Got my coffee! Happy dance! I now have enough in my cupboard that I could probably start a business. Have one more 20% off code to take advantage of before the middle of January, but happy this...

I'd agree that the price point, particularly for 50ml, is pretty high which is why I would have opted for the larger offering (5x the fragrance at 2x the price). So, yeah, you're paying for...

I wish my packages had legs! They would get here faster!

Hey, look! It's a MIRACLE! Except this is what I received a replacement shipment yesterday for.

Peet's had always used UPS prior to Thanksgiving, then they switched to USPS. I don't know if it were because they got overwhelmed with orders as this is the follow-up to the one that took forever...

I had a movement on my package stuck in Edison, NJ for five days. It's now in Newark, NJ. 5 days to go 25 miles and the expected delivery date is now Tuesday, Dec. 29th. That'll be 11 days for...

Thanks! I've ordered some of the SF Coffee from Amazon. It's decent, but I've been stuck on Peet's (and they ship it as well.) Of course I couldn't find a bag of the Starbuck's Peppermint Mocha...

Thanks! I'll keep my fingers, eyes and ears cross for you hoping you receive both in time!

I can't believe I couldn't find a thread on this. Oh well, looks like I get to start one! My bottle arrived from the UK where it's an exclusive to Harrod's. Two days shipping and, gasp, no...

All I can say is, DHL delivers on time - from the UK. Two days. While shipping is a premium, I noted that some of the USPS complaints on the link I sent were overnight costing...

In the long run, I don't think it impacted them that much. They were Lorenzo Villoresi fragrances and I had them until maybe 2014 or so, so they lasted a good ten years. I remember I ranted about...

Yep, I had fraudulent activity on my debit card less than a week ago. Card is now closed and they're sending me a new one with new number, but I don't know what method. They expect 4-6 business...

It's very nice and reminds me of a Irish Creme coffee, to some extent. Very decadent, though I do notice the heliotrope (not my favorite.) I'm not sure I like it as much as Intoxicated, but they're...

The first time this happened, it was a pretty expensive package. I looked everywhere and couldn't find it, saw the postal truck outside and the postman and asked, if by chance, he hadn't delivered...

Ha - they came back and delivered it. Too late on my part though - emails already fired off!
