I didn't realize how much fragrance I used this year

This is what I went through in 2009......and there's approximately 6 bottles not pictured.

Damn !!! Did I actually smell this good? Well....yes....of course I did. How else can I live up to the Cologne Mafia Don rep?

My poor, longsuffering wife stopped asking me about the different packages coming and going quite some time ago.....and yes.....she thinks I'm an extremely unbalanced individual. I can only imagine that she probably has a point, but at least I smell really good while I slowly drive her crazy with this hobby. That is the least I can do.



From left to right starting with back row :
Ricci Club Haute 100ml
Molinard Patchouli 100ml
Carlo Corinto 100ml
Carven Homme 100ml
Chevignon 100ml
   Tristano Onofri 50ml
     Moschino Pour Homme 50ml
       Gucci Pour Homme ( 1976) 30ml X 2
     KL Homme 60ml
      Lauder for Men 50ml
      Mediterraneum 50ml
       Gucci Envy 30ml
         Balmain de Balmain 50ml
            Dolce & Gabanna Pour Homme 1.3oz
            Opium Homme EDP refill 50ml
Not pictured : Montana Red 125ml,  t.gregory EDP 100ml, Capucci Punjab 90ml, Chanel Antaeus Sport 100ml, Versailles Pour Homme 30ml, Rochas Macassar 50ml.

Something made me look in my "empty bottle" basket and once I pulled it out and took a peek, I was ( an am) amazed at the volume of juice I not only wore, but gave away in samples. Only God knows how many atomizers I went through in 09....which reminds me that I have none at the moment and have to order even more.......damn.......

    LOL - yeah, that was one of my New Year silent resolutions - re-order atomizers.

    Yeah, when people ask me why I have so many bottles, the first part of my answer is that, very simply, I use a whole lot of fragrance. I tend to spread it through a ton of bottles, so I don't have a problem with empties (yet), but intregrating over my whole wardrobe, it's a heck of a volume!

    Great picture, too! :)

Newport by Caswell Massey

By
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

By
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

By shamu1
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 ...
