Eny idea?

i'm assuming if you want something like Antidote you're liking the sweet, powdery, iris character of it. there are tons of scents in this vain that have come out recently

try Dior Homme, Prada Infusion d'Homme, Armani Attitude, Arpege Pour Homme by Lanvin, Burberry Brit, Armani Code . . .

I have started to really enjoy Mitsuoko in the evenings, though I only have the EdT and it is not very long lived.

Sel de Vetiver remains my favorite, though I find it nearly narcotic like for me and use it sparingly

thanks!

Is there a way to mass order a bunch of these in test bottles? I'd like to try these without dropping 60$.

^^^ yeah, there's a bunch of decant retailers like perfumed court around. Check Basenotes.net, there's a thread listing a bunch of them... prices are a little whack but if you really want to try B4 buy, it's a good way.
I'd first suggest hitting your local dept. store and begging for samples, then call/email the companies direct, then PM people and pay/swap, and as a last resort order samples from online guys... I've tried everything i've ever wanted and never had to order samples online.

Cool. They send the juice out quickly, but don't be surprised if your order comes in 2 shipments.

IMHO, the greatest scent ever put on this earth is Orange Spice by Creed. I think they took it out of their lineup, but I scooped up 4 bottles at the Paris flagship. The scent is unlike anything else I have ever smelled. Amazing. Anyone else every try this?

Love Marc Jacobs cologne when I use it. Also, a fan of John Varvatos original. I use old spice deodorant on a daily, and I love the scent.

Can anyone give me some alternative recommendations to these? Thanks.

If you want a very upscale Old Spice-like scent Creed Bois Du Portugal is pretty amazing.

That is pretty slow. E-Mail them and ask for an order status. Never took more than a week to get my samples from them.

If you liked the Marc Jacobs for men (rectangular clear bottle black plastic cap?), try L'Artisan Premier Figuier (spelling?) and Dyptique Philosykos. Both alternative takes on the whole fig+leaf+tree/moss note.

As for old spice, you could also add the Massive (!) and cheap bottle of EdT to the mix to give you more longevity
