Favourite fragance

Opium is nice

Something that the boyfriend uses, that drives me absolutely WILD:

I just bought some for myself, a couple of minutes ago, for when he's not around, hahaha!!!

That's great! The sense of smell is the best to bring back memories!!!

I found this about Magnetism...

The first men's Escada scent since 2002's Sentiment for Men. One of the notes is Schinus, which supposedly is an aphrodisiac.

Wow... there you go... now you know why you go WILD!

I've never smelled it, but it has high ratings.

Seriously, it's AMAZE!!

I much prefer the packaging of the new design!
The bottle glass looks to be awesome, and I really have a thing for green, cos the box screamed out to me, LOL!

I think there's a band called Vetiver, too!

What does it smell like? I haven't found much info on this new Boss scent on the web (at least not in my usual reference).

Me neither.

I can tell you that I had Boss Pure on one arm and Hugo Element on the other and that they are fairly similar scents.

According to basenotes, Pure has:

Top notes: fig water, Mediterranean citrus
Heart notes: lily, hyacinth
Base notes: massola wood, tree moss

Exactly how much of these end up in Element is anyone's guess. Basenotes has nothing at all on Element, which is rather a surprise. I will say it's a pleasant scent, but it doesn't last long. Perhaps it's because the tester doesn't have an atomiser on it, so you apply it drop by drop and I'm not putting enough of it on.

Tried this at the Abbey ( http://www.abbeyfoodandbar.com/ ) Saturday night before I went to Mj's not on my short list

I get the best compliments from simply using Old Spice's RedZone Aqua Fresh scent and Bod's 'Really Ripped Abs' Fragrance : )

and I rarely use the fragrance...I smell more than fine with the deoderant and people take notice

It arrived this morning!!

Corduroy by Zihr Intl for Men.

Its the BEST

The best thing is, as you say, that it worked with you . Skin chemistry can be a pain in the butt with different fragances, and then you end up with something that smells great in, let's say your BF, but ghastly on you.

That's why I say, test, test, test on your skin first, and see how it develops. If after an hour or so, you're happy with it, go for it! If not, better look for something else.

Best advice ever.

I go into the stores with a pen and I spray three or four different scents on each arm (back of hand, pulse point inside wrist, inside of elbow and dead center of top-side of forearm). I mark them all with the pen so I know which is which and get a few opinions off friends/family when I get home. Repeat with similar fragrances over a few days to get a list of three or four which I really do like and then I go back and choose one.

Or two. And put the others on my Christmas list...

Le Male (Jean Paul Gaultier)

my best

Has anyone used this?

Clive Christian No. 1 for Men

"The World's Most Expensive Perfume." Although we normally don't like it when a fragrance for men is referred to as "perfume," in this case we'll make an exception. Living up to its claim, Clive Christian No. 1 for Men ($650) is indeed expensive, due to the fine, rare, and downright exotic ingredients it contains. Can you smell that? Smells like money, baby.
