Best Classic Designer seller for 2009


I buy what seems to be an inordinate amount of classic masculines. Because of this, I said to myself, "How can I shamelessly plug my favorite seller and HTF connection"? After all, in my mind he deserves a thread.

Why, you say? That's fairly simple. It's because of who he is, what he has and his prices. Yes....the big 3.
I can tell you he is an honest individual and a gentleman. I can tell you he goes out of his way to give a great deal to repeat buyers. I can tell you he communicates during the transaction and always seems to go that little extra. I can tell you his package arrives with everything just like it's supposed to be with superb packaging and the interesting add-ons he throws in there.

Sure......I can tell you all those things.....and I'd be telling you the straight up truth. I can also tell you his prices for rare and discontinued frags will be extremely hard to beat. I have begun to buy nearly all my vintage juice from Henry because he is a super nice guy with integrity.....and it doesn't hurt that he has boatloads of impossible to find fragrances. As a buyer, that's a combination that's very hard to find, let alone beat.

If you ever have need of a scent that nobody else has....or.....that somebody else wants a ransom for, keep this link handy. Every week there are new additions to an already impressive array of juice that will never be duplicated again.

    Sigh. There's vintage in my future, I admit.

Newport by Caswell Massey

Bergamot, Mandarin, Lemon, Lavender, Geranium, Muguet, Rose, Ambergris, Cedar, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Musk. After wearing Newport by Caswell Massey a few times and then reading what others had to say about this recent formulation, I found some of the opinions harsh. I have no way to compare it to the heralded vintage formula, nor can I use memory as I've never tried the original. Enter the current version. I do agree with some reviews that this rendition does not bring about the sense of beach and salt, but there's a long line of fragrances that fail to represent their depictions. However, Newport isn't so far off the mark that it's a complete misrepresentation. I can imagine wearing Newport ( or something similar ) in a beach setting. It smells classic due to the way Citrus, Lavender and Geranium are implemented. It's assuredly retro, but it seems to have that intangible I like that keeps me sniffing. Newport, at least on my skin, is top heavy in the sens...

Black Suede by Avon

Nutmeg, Clove, Amber, Musk, Moss, Wood Notes. Yes.........I am reviewing one of the Rodney Dangerfield's of fragrance. Black Suede has been gracing medicine cabinets, for better or worse, since 1980 my friends. If you're expecting me to inform you ( like others may have already ) that Black Suede is a nasty scrubber, you will be disappointed. On the other hand, if you're expecting a glowing review claiming it's a diamond in the rough, you won't hear that from me either. I will say though that Black Suede doesn't deserve the hate it's received and most of that is due to snobbery aimed at Avon products in general. I kid you not when I state that a close relative to this fragrance is Cacharel Pour L'Homme. The array of spice in both ensure comparison, but the "smoother" of the two is Black Suede due to its implementation of Amber. While wearing Black Suede, one can detect a hint of "drugstore". That quality doesn't manife...

Lanvin L'Homme

Lord knows the world has enough fresh woody citrus fragrances.  It's a hackneyed genre of masculine perfume, having been done to death by countless designer firms cranking these things out since the 1990s, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight.  Lanvin L'Homme, released in 1997, is one of the early woody citrus releases, but it (along with Essenza di Zegna) stands out because it's one of the best.  That may sound like it's not saying much, but Lanvin L'Homme really is excellent. I won't get into a long treatise about all of the notes contained in this and how they evolve.  Lanvin L'Homme is sparkling, spicy, woody, transparent and dry.  What I love about this scent is how brilliantly it uses vetiver - the vetiver gives Lanvin L'Homme a woody, dry and somewhat bitter smell, but it also manages to create an effect of sustaining the citrus top notes for several hours.  This results in a fragrance that smells fresh and cheerful from beginning ...
