More like "eating a burrito from a hooker's snatch." I had to sell that bottle.

Some other rose suggestions:

Iquitos from Alain Delon. Very rosy, maybe a little perfumey for the modern dude.
Aramis 900. The rose is subtle but definitely present, and it's a nice green, herbal and complex scent overall.
Rose de Nuit, Serge Lutens. Not at all easy to find but a beautiful scent.

sorry jgold i've got nothing to swap. i have this nasty habit of using 1 cologne until i finish it whether it's out of season or not. hence, i've never been able to build a wardrobe in the past years i've been buying scents. it's also the reason i'm still using london in the heat lol!

MC, i didn't like Mugler and Rive Gauche. I do like azzaro ph. in fact i'm thinking of buying it again. which do you like better Azzaro Pour Homme or Prada Ambre Pour Homme?

Got samples of a bunch of creed colognes and Chanel roadster from the nice lady at Saks...

Next time I am going to do my research before buying though.

I'm wearing that today. Like you, I like the scent, love the bottle, but would rather not pay full price for it. You can exchange an empty perfume bottle for a 6ml sized spray. See if you can still take advantage of that.

Even though all the Bonds are EdP, I'm finding longevity is really hit or miss. So far, I'm finding Riverside Drive and Bleecker St last all day for me. The Signature Parfum also has lasting power, but I'm not to crazy about the scent or its $300+ price tag.

JPG Le Male for a non-suit-and-tie Thursday. All the reviews describe this as a strong synthetic vanilla scent, but on my skin the tobacco starts to dominate after the first couple of minutes.

Today: Le Labo Oud 27. Just felt like it today, and nothing else seemed quite appealing enough.

 

[L'Incandescent]

Le Feu d'Issey today.

 

[boo]

D&G Pour Homme today. I've finally realized that I'm allergic to something in it. Makes me itch and produces a rash. I like it enough to not get rid of it, so I'm just spraying it on my clothes instead of directly to skin.

That's too much Oud for me. I tried it but it didn't work on me. Wearing body Kouros today

...today, I'm wearing Terre d'Hermes, what with all the orangey scents being recommended. Today, the pepper and cedar are quite prominent alongside the orange. Still - a couple of hours later, the earthy orange remains strong.

 

[L'Incandescent]

Z Zegna for a casual Saturday.

Tom Ford : Tobbaco Vanille

 

[L'Incandescent]

Secretions Magnifiques today. One of my favorites, but one that I dare not wear around others. Sunday afternoon getting work done alone at the office.

 

[boo]

Wearing Bleecker St layered with Rochas Man. I like this combo.

Saw the new Voyage d'Hermes today. Very cool bottle. Spritz on the wrist smelled of citrusy ginger.
