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

I personally love the sweeter scents on
men. Yes, Rochas is delicious, Sacogoo.
