M-C
I figure once you're over 40 it's all game over right? Funny, I used to think about being over 30 at getting older, now that I'm getting close, I'm thinking of guys as 50-60 as 'old'.

Be nice to me, I hit 60 today....
Btw
It ain't over (til the fat lady sings...)

Happy Birthday James. Nice to see another gentleman of matured sensibilities around here. Ans as for M-C - :tounge:

In honour of Movember, I sampled Moustache. As lovely as I remember it, but didn't last too long. I need to try this one again.

BTW, conoisseurs of facial hair should pop over the the Australian thread and check out thebrownman's mo after just 9 days. Jaw-dropping.

Cuir Mauresque today. Starts with a beautiful leather + orange blossom accord with a drop of soap. Right there it is near perfection. Then the jasmine kicks in, taking the frag in a very floral direction. And so at the moment not surE about CM.

I like CM - smells a lot like Knize Ten but softer and with a light dusting of cocoa powder. I prefer the Knize fwiw.

 

[James1051]

First time trial of CM. Anyway, the jasmine did lay down and did not, as I feared, come to dominate the scent. Overall I like it. Haven't tried the Knize Ten yet, will do so soon.

Anybody tried PG's Cuir d'Iris?

Absolutely on the preference of Knize Ten. When I tried Cuir Mauresque I felt it was way to redundant to have that plus Knize Ten.

Last night - a shitload of Cuir de Russie EdT.

Opus Oils Mother today. Perfect for the cold, wet day we're having, but I reckon I've over-applied it - I forgot it was an oil concentrate. I'm getting wood and rose with a bit of chocolate sweetness. Can't make out the fig that's supposed to be there.

 

[L'Incandescent]

Pre-shower: Olene
SOTD: Bijou Romantique, of which I maybe applied just a little bit too much.

Morning All

Je porte PG Querelle ce matin

 

[HORNS]

Last night: put on three sprays of Chergui, what a lovely perfume. Is it a world-beater? No, but there's an elegance to it that draws you in if you have no prior history of reading reviews and you don't have certain expectations.

 

[L'Incandescent]

Byredo 1996 Inez & Vinoodh. I'm pretty sure this is one scent by Byredo that's gotten better reviews than any other. I'll be honest, though, I'm a little disappointed. It opens up very cold, with juniper and pepper. But shortly thereafter, the iris takes over. Specifically, it's the chocolatey facets of the iris that dominate. The texture is very grainy and dry, which is what I don't really like. As it develops, it becomes much sweeter and warmer, with a lot of amber in the base.

 

[California Dreamer]

Today's sample is Bentley for Men Intense. I got a hit of incense on the opening and a more peppery scent soon after. That subsided after a couple of hours and it's developed into a creamy leather, with still a hint of underlying incense.

I have Bentley for Men. I wish I'd sprayed that on my other wrist, for comparison.

Really enjoyed wearing Querelle today. Wasn't expecting much as the last 3 Vetivers I've sampled left me thinking vet may not be for me. This one restored faith, a bit. Nice vet+incense+ cinnamon+ oak moss combo.

 

[HORNS]

Today I wore L'Instant de Guerlain - it was foggy where I was today.

This evening: Coeur de Vetiver Sacre.
