I like Crred's Irish Tweed, Paco Rabanne Black XS and PS London .... I'm curious if anyone has tried Coty's Raw Vanilla?

Blenheim Bouquet my permanent winter weekday daily wear or else get one of those nespresso machines in my bedroom. I will let you know.
To avoid any error or possibility of upsetting Thomas, last night I pushed all possible candidates to the back of the shelf except for Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouqet. It worked. Today - Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet BTW, this morning, my wife and I stopped in the Nespresso bar for a cup of coffee after some morning errands. The coffee was very good. I suggested getting one of the machines for our bedroom. I had this very problem in mind, though I didn't say why. I should have, as she rejected the idea.

That is very soothing to hear. Read. whatev.

Have you considered re-shuffling your morning rituals? I've done this through the years (learning to shave at the sink again...) and it's not as traumatic as it seems.

No need. I just ordered one of these. Not too expensive, but the installation is a *****.

Whatever gets you out of bed in the morning!

I like the d'empire's take on amber and how it is different from L'Artisan or Lutens. I never tried the Armani line. I am going to check with the spousal unit, maybe she has a sample.

How does the Vintage differ from the regular Varvatos?

Received a sample of the new Guerlain Homme and am wearing it today. I like it so far, but it's too soon to decide if I really like it or consider it bottle-worthy.

I also got a sample of TF's new "White Patchouli;" I'm REALLY liking that one.

Le Labo Vetiver 46 for day, YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme for evening

Tiffany for Men today. A wonderful, classy fragrance, but it was made by the same fellow who did Chanel PM and the two are VERY similar (the Tiffany is more like the original Chanel).

I still like the Chanel better (and the Chanel is easier to find), but if you want something excellent for business, very subtle, and off-the-radar, this one is a good bet.

Yesterday, after all the chores and housework, I wore John Varvatos. Not yet sure about today. Maybe something Ambery, or appropriate for a one y-o's birthday. Viold d'Ambre, perhaps?

If you don't want the kid or other kids to bug you, try TDC's Sel de Vetiver. Kids HATE that one... Edit at 3:00 pm. Tiffany for men wore off and so for this evening, when I go to see Barry O'Bammer at the Stadium, it's JICKY time. Nothing better to say both "liberal elite" AND "I think your policies suck" than a fragrance that costs an arm and a leg and smells like dirty baby diapers.

Today was TDC Rose Poivree for day. Not sure yet about tonight.

Thomas · Nov 2, 2008

Ended up wearing Nicole Miller. Slightly standoffish to the chidrun but okay with the folks. They still climbed on me - one was not quite 2, one has just turned 1, and one was a few weeks old. The 2-year-old was the most fun.
