Patricia has great stuff ... honwstky just buy dencants off perfumedcounrt,com or base notes.net... I once had nicolai s New York but it was a bois du Portugal ripoff so,I returned it. L artisan is another one from Paris that's under the radar but on amazon,com

I just went back to an old staple...Aramis. Go ahead and laugh but it's been around since 1964 so I'm not the only one who likes it.

I wear Knize ten daily,or tauer lonestar memories. I love wearing my my deep blue , walking a trail in winter, with lonestar memories or Knize ten. I wear these for me. Not others. I do agree creed aventus garners many compliments. Unfortunately, it's a bit tired now. Everyone wears it. That takes away its appeal for me because smell it at restaurants, bars, etc.

Knize ten I think is my fav. It's not sweet or cloying and dries down,to a leathery tobacco with subtlety . I also wear yatagan from time to time. From Caron.

Styletto is made in house by a perfume boutique in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, called O'Boticario. It costs about $25 USD a bottle after forex, and the smell is amazing.

I have had women literally walk up to me, hug me while taking a deep breath and they don't even know me. Lots of people of both sexes comment on how intriguing it is, and ask where they can get some.

While I've always got 2-3 unopened bottles around, I also really like Armani Code and Hermes Terra.

Two really nice ones for me lately have been Joe Malone: Lime, basil & mandarin scent, as well as Terre De' Hermes. Highly recommend both.

Omega do their own fragrance - has anyone tried it?

I assume it smells like machined parts & gear oil!!

https://www.omegawatches.com/accesso...rance/product/

Seriously though, are there any other watch brands that do fragrances?

Grabbed a sample of Bond No. 9 Scent of Peace the other day at Saks. It was the "women's" and there is a "men's", but the women's smells waaaaaayyy better on me. Wife even verified.

We went out tonight and a few friends verified I didn't smell like a chick.

Going back to Saks tomorrow to grab a bottle I think.

So, I ordered some Creed samples from DecantShop on 03/03/2017 and have not received any shipping emails or the product in the mail as of yet. No phone number listed on their website. I emailed them but have not heard back.

Does anyone have their phone number?
Also, how long did your order take to ship after you placed it ?

Thanks

I bought some decanted Creed Aventus on eBay and got it super fast from the seller. They put it in a nice glass bottle. I think it was just over $50 for an ounce. A frugal way to go about getting some awesome cologne.

Just picked up a bottle of Scent of Peace and preordered the new Nolita all from Bond. No. 9. I wear the scent of peace, usually the women's. the men's just doesn't agree with my sinuses. The Nolita smells wonderful but will stay at the house for the wife.
