I literally *hate* Bleu...it's nauseating, trite, and everything wrong with the fragrance industry today. No doubt panel tested by a bunch of illiterate monkeys who think Axe "gets the bitches". Revolting on every level.

Rant over. Wearing H&G Geste today. Not loving this one either.

Cross-posting this from the Split thread:

I want to gauge some interest in any splits from Ormonde Jayne or Etat Liberte d'Orage. If you're interested in getting in on any of their particular scents either post here or PM me. If there is enough interest I'm going to place multiple orders for splittage.

I know people have mentioned Ormonde Man and Zizan before. How about the ELdO's? Anything in particular fit your all's fancy?

I'm thinking about buying a bigger sample of tuscan leather and am stuck between the 5 ml spray on bottle and the 5 ml roll on bottle.

As it stands now, I have the 1 ml bottle which forces me to 'paint' the frag on with the 'brush' and I actually like that.. gives you more control, if you will. So, I am inclined towards getting the roll-on bottle.. any reasons as to why that wouldn't be advisable?

Today, an overcast, dreary, chilly day, so I went with the comfort blanket of SL Chergui.

Eau Radieuse by Humiecki today. Done sampling this line now. Happy with the one I have...don't need any of the others methinks.

left wrist New Haarlem, right wrist Rochas Man. I think the Rochas has some sort of licorice or anise note or something that's not doing it for me. the Haarlem is a bit sharper and (mind of matter?) feels more refined.

I prefer atomizers. Roll ons either leak while moving them/storing, or they dump the stuff all over your wrist (they work much better for oils), and you pollute the juice with all kinds of junk like dead skin, dust, etc... I say go for an atomizer.

PS - call up a couple of Neiman's or walk into any Saks, Bergdorf, Neimans etc and get one of their 4ml samples. If you pick up a couple of those you're good to go for months potentially. This juice it pretty potent.
