Between Cuir de Russie and Shalimar sounds interesting.. The Chanels are usually good.
i know they're popular but i've never been a big fan of the exclusifs line or the channel mens line in particular other than bleu parfum.Between Cuir de Russie and Shalimar sounds interesting.. The Chanels are usually good.
Not a fan of the Racquets in its previous version. The unisex Penhaligon's other than Limes and the Fern one tends to be a bit too perfumey.
Thought Fahrenheit was magnificent when it first came out. It was extremely unlike anything else at the time. Same too the Lacoste Booster from the 1980s which has long been discontinued. That was seriously effervescent. I think it was too expensive to make.I also used to have Fahrenheit which was very pleasant, but after a decade or so it ran out and apparently the formula has changed.
I also have something called Azzaro which is cheap enough and lasts a long time. I remember one of my pals was going out with a foreign sort called Azzara at the time. She was nice enough but they made an unlikely couple.
The only thing that approached Fahrenheit was Grey Flannel.Thought Fahrenheit was magnificent when it first came out. It was extremely unlike anything else at the time.

Glad I had a discerning nose back then, never checked out Grey Flannel. Fahrenheit resonated as a young man coming of age back in 1988. It was so very ''Yes!'' in an apprentice TSC way.The only thing that approached Fahrenheit was Grey Flannel.
Fahrenheit is one of the greatest men's perfumes ever made and we unlikely to see its kind again. Everything now is so generic.
The 80s was a great time for men's perfumes as the market really opened out.
Some of those 80s behemoths are worthy of rediscovery. Xerxes and Antaeus are good. As is Givenchy Gentlemen but I think that's a bit older.Glad I had a discerning nose back then, never checked out Grey Flannel. Fahrenheit resonated as a young man coming of age back in 1988.

Nevertheless, in these diminished times, I am a couple of days max from having to break out the Cairo. I want to smell like the British Museum or some grandfather's old sea chest. Full of mystery and hints of Indiana Jones type of adventures. I think it delivers on that front.
Meanwhile, the Floris Elite aftershave, balm and soap is already on the way.
Indeed they are, definitely would exclude Paco Rabanne. It was so in your face and of its time as to be unrepeatable.Some of those 80s behemoths are worthy of rediscovery. Xerxes and Antaeus are good. As is Givenchy Gentlemen but I think that's a bit older.
Ralph Lauren Polo used to remind me of Wintergreen/Vick. S'nice and masculine.
Could never warm to Kouros or Jazz. Paco Rabanne neither.
I used to wear one in the 90s called Escada, which had a Cognac note. Rich and boozy suited the Mohair look I rocked like a fucker back then...
You should protest that decision and get a rebateIndeed they are, definitely would exclude Paco Rabanne. It was so in your face and of its time as to be unrepeatable.
The original Polo Green deodorant stick was something very special as well. No BO was going to get through that. Another discontinued masterpiece.
Been hit with €46 import duties on my Floris order. Well over 21% BTW, apparently classed as semi-dangerous goods.
It all started going wrong in the 90s with unisex perfumes (WTF?) and the proliferation of flankers...???!!!!!!Indeed they are, definitely would exclude Paco Rabanne. It was so in your face and of its time as to be unrepeatable.

You can contest it, but you still need to pay up front and being here, it will be a long winded and bureaucratic process with zero chance of going your way. It's well known import duties here are arbitrary.You should protest that decision and get a rebate
That was Jean Paul Gaultier's fault. The only full-on unisex scent I've purchased was Penhaligon's Juniper Sling. Very feminine in essence. Something I imagine the new Ronan Farrow would sport.It all started going wrong in the 90s with unisex perfumes (WTF?) and the proliferation of flankers...???!!!!!!
Well, wearing perfumes created for the opposite sex isn't a new thing, of course, Jicky and Tabac Blond come to mind but they weren't created to be unisex.You can contest it, but you still need to pay up front and being here, it will be a long winded and bureaucratic process with zero chance of going your way.

The youngest has already nabbed one of the Floris Elite soaps. Got two samples of the 1962 and 1988. The 1962 was the best.
I bought the No.89 aftershave with the balm as well, this time arrived with no import duties.I do have Floris 89 - James Bond’s favourite bought in Jermyn Street. It’s OK.
I am not big on aftershaves. I quite like Tabac which is cheap and cheerful and probably the Euro equivalent of Brut.
Men used to smell of Woodbines and Brylcream.
How sexy is each? Always in for a split with you and Dogfish.
that does tend to happen.I wore the MFK Grand Hoor today and spawned a super spreader event because everyone had to take their masks off to tell me how much sex I was proyecting.
even though they "say" cologne, the bottles actually are parfums, so I'm not exactly sure what the hell they were going for with the labeling. the universalis smelled absolutely awful. the vitae was kind of nice but the celestia seemed like the best of the bunch. i got a sample to try out of the last two so hopefully i'll have something good to report. i've got a full bucket of samples to send up to you btw whenever we do our next split.How sexy is each?

Gotta try them first
