Sho: this is normal for lots of people and lots of scents. I don't know if you remember Ivan Kipling, but he wore Eau Sauvage all the time - it was his only scent for years, until he eventually became anosmic to it, and had to switch to something else. Just couldn't smell it at all any longer. That's why I rotate them around a bit.

just got Guerlain L'Instant Homme EdT in the mail from Notreknip, AWESOME!

I tend to gravitate to the really strong scents and this is probably the mildest I've enjoyed and it really does sit nicely on the skin.

^^^ agreed. It has a way of being present without being overbearing. and for a "chocolate" (coco actually) scent it's quite dry and warm rather than sweet.

today, Ford Musk Pure on the right (boring - was this meant to layer?), and Ford Urban Musk on the left (this one's really growing on me!)

Just wanted to let you guys know there is a Buy One Get One Half Off Sale on colognes!. I think it expires in a week or so as the promotion is for mothers day. Check it out!

Yeah, I swapped away my bottle of Mitsy as well for the same reason: just too formal and French for my tastes. Dane swears that the parfum is miles better and everyone says that the earlier bottles are also better, but I don't want to start the chase just to find out that I still dislike it. For chypre, i already have Chanel PM and that addresses that family quite well.

Beautiful day, using the last of my Green Irish Tweed sample.

Actually tried out Davidoff Cool Water yesterday, and to my nose not detecting a ton of difference, so that might save me $200+ dollars in the future.

Muscs Koublai Khan today. I ran out of this, so I haven't worn it in a while. Just got my new supply, and it's every bit as good as I remembered!

Ormonde Man for me as well today.

^^^^ lol. But srsly there's a huge market in splits, partials (decants) and secondary bottles. I think I've paid full retail for a bottle once in the last few years. And, fwiw, I know a few folks who don't mind sharing/swapping samples here and there. Holla.

BTW, I have a bottle of Hermes Elixir Des Merveilles coming to me from London, since you raved about it earlier.

OK, I confess I have only worn it a few times so my experience base is limited. I will have to try it again this weekend and <st>see</st> smell if I smell what you smell.
