View Full Version : Designer oils instead of cologne

After

looking at previous posts I found the below link. Designer fragrance oils such Aqua Dio Gio, Issey Miyake, Egoiste

Platinum, Cool Water, Dolce & Gabanna, etc for $6.99 an oz. I am wondering if anyone has tried these or think

they would work well with TE/NPA. I also have another link below in which they are lesser priced ($4.50) but

perhaps are not as close to the original. Opinions are greatly

appreciated.

In

the second link almost all the fragrances are synthetic, but for the first one, \"bootlegers\" of cologne usually

use essential oils ect... to imitate the fragrance as close as possible. I\'ve heard good things about hayward

enterprises....

Yeah

Phantom. I\'m gonna definitely try 4 of the oils on HaywardEnterprises. Probably Issey Miyake, Acqua Di Gio,

Egoiste Platinum & Hugo Boss. Maybe Realm & Romance later. I don\'t think the Gaultier is LeMale but may

try. Definitely interested in what others think would be good choices.

I

tried the Hayward \"Angel\" oil and was less than thrilled. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Yeah,

I was just thinking that the Angel designer oil, in particular, probably wouldn\'t work as well as the original

perfume/cologne...

I\'ve read reviews on regular cologne sites and the rating for Angel was not very impressive. Guys like it but

women didn\'t care for the fragrance. It certainly wouldn\'t be one of the oils I will choose.

Are you serious?

Angel for women is amazing and men that wear A man get licked and nibbled on by women that can\'t get enough of

it.

I have good reason to believe you. You have great posts. Perhaps the Angel perfume is rated better than the cologne

or oils. Especially since I have read a cologne link while at work and the women didn\'t care for the Angel

cologne while the guys liked the fragrance. I will post the link when I\'m at work Monday. Nonetheless after

looking at that particular site I\'m thinking other oils most likely will be better. I will attest that guys do

enjoy Angel.

A-men Angel by Thierry Mugler is a love it or hate it type fragrance. It\'s very potent with heavy

\"edible\" scents such as chocolate, mocha, pepper.

If you want to go that route for a deeper sexy scent, but

don\'t want to tread the line of \"too much\" there is Cristobal by Balenciaga, which is not as sweet smelling

as A-men and Rochas Man by Rochas, which is a sweeter smelling \"edible\" type cologne, but not as overpowering as

A-men can be. As well, you won\'t find nearly as many people wearing these as you will wearing A-men.

IYou are

right, it is extremely love and hate. I have had women tell me they hate the smell, too strong.

I think the

best way to wear it is to spray it in the air once and then walk through it.

I think if it is subtle then more

people who dislike it would like it.

Funny, I can\'t decide whether I like it or not, I own it. I wonder how

the Angel for women smells, maybe I would enjoy that more?

Thank you! That is the way

to do it, especially with tricky stuff like A*Men.

You

can read hundreds of reviews for Angel for women on

www.makeupalley.com (\"http://www.makeupalley.com\")

I personally love the sweeter scents on

men. Yes, Rochas is delicious, Sacogoo.
