Pre-shower: Bond No. 9 Cooper Square. I've been all over the map on this one. At first I hated it. Then I really liked it a lot. No I'm in the middle, but lean toward not liking it. There's a barbershop vibe that I like, but there's also a really prominent myrrh note that spoils it for me.

SOTD: Dior Gris Montaigne. This is a fantastic addition to the Collection Privee.

Question for you guys... I've got brand new manufacturer samples of an entire line, so say like all 18 Byredo or Malle... on eBay, the individual samples go for like $8-12 a piece, so in theory having all 18 should cost around $200 also considering you can sample through the entire line at once... and yet do you think people will pay $200 to get the entire lines samples? It's around the same price as a decanter I think and at least they're 1.5-2ml samples not 0.5 and they're in atomizers with literature...

If you wanted to sample a whole line or have them all as a reference, like say Malles line or Byredo's, all 18 official samples, how much would you pay to get that?

Wearing O'Driue Linfidele today. It's a balmy scent with a slight sharp note of pine. Perfect for this winter heading into spring weather.

Not FB-worthy, but I can't see how any O'Driu scent ever could be at their prices.

Delving into boozy scents this time.

I have tried Lubin Idole, Lubin Korrigan, and HdP 1740.

Now waiting on Frapin samples to arrive.

Also eager to hear feedback on Jovoy's Les Jeux Son Fait. Very nice bottle.

Anyone able to post on their favourite boozy scent?

Accidentally splashing your favourite scotch, cognac or rum on yourself does not count.
