Best Cologne on the market

[bjf]

Cool. How much PI do you use, how

much Dia?

[Fuse]

Parfumes Raffy's

store is about 5 miles from my house. I went there last weekend to sample Amouage.

I liked the Gold, it was

very unique, but he Dia was my favorite.

I chose them because they guaranteed that all products are

in stock and offered an extensive amount of shipping options. Unfortunately, I placed my order over the weekend and

chose 3-Day Air. It was shipped on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I totally forgot that Thursday was Thansgiving. On top of

that, UPS does not consider the day after Thanksgiving a business day. So I won't get it until next Tuesday



Oh well.. It'll be worth the wait. On another sad note, I just got an e-mail from Amouage.com telling

me that they were out of stock of the men's samples. So looks like I won't be testing out the other Amouage scents

for a couple of weeks.

[kryptogram]

Cool. How much PI

do you use, how much Dia?

Dab on each wrist - and one each behind the ears (4 total)
spray of DIA on each

forearm and 1 spray on the neck. Actually have used PI & APC in equal amounts - lots of looks, stares & smiles -

I'm pretty social - but some of my male coworkers have been joking about it - so it's not all in my mind.

One BIG negative has been my secretary who has been overly attentive and flirtatous.

I love Lolita Lempicka for men.

Angel for men is another luscious one. My brother smelled really wonderful the other day, so I asked him what he

was wearing. He had simply used some sort of Patchouli bodywash, I believe it was Kiss My Face Peaceful Patchouli.

It wasn't an obtrusive scent at all, so I would recommend it as a supplement to your natural scent!

[chococat]

Lolita Lempicka for men:
Green

Accords, Ivy Green, Absinthe, Aniseed Water, Violet Flower, Violet Wood, Cashmere Wood, Cedar Wood, Vetiver, Citrus,

Olive Wood.


Angel for

men:
peppermint,

patchouli and lavender combined with middle notes of tonka, coffee and vanilla with a base of musk, chocolate and

caramel


I'd say these are both winners as far as "sexy"

smells go. I basically begged an old boyfriend of mine to buy the Lolita Lempicka. I'd seek out

licorice/anise/absinthe based colognes if I were you, as the licorice scent is a provn turnon for women. I had no

idea that Lolita Lempicka for men had such heavy licorice notes in it until I looked up the notes. Not surprising

at all!

They were having a special at work

today for day after Thanksgiving sale. All fragrances were buy 1, get 1 free. So I chose Hugo Boss #6, and Ralph

Lauren Polo Sport. They were both both $40 scents, so I ended up paying $20 a piece. What a deal! Anyway, I like the

scent of Polo Sport a lot.

I also tested Joop! When I first sprayed it on my wrist, it seemed a little too

much on the feminine side. But after a couple of minutes of being on my skin, I couldn't stop smelling my wrist. It

worked really well on my skin. One of the girls I work with agreed with me. She said Angel was her favorite

cologne.

On a side note, I may have gotten a pretty good hit from her today. We were testing out scents

together and became very flirty. She then asked me "Well what do you wear? I'm looking for something for my

boyfriend?" This could have been just friendly talk. But the fact that she wanted to get her boyfriend the same

cologne that I was wearing lead me to believe that maybe the pheromones influenced it. Tonight I was wearing 4 dabs

of TE (2 on neck, 1 on each wrist), 4 dabs of Pheros (same place I applied the TE), 2 sprays of Perception to neck,

and 1 dab of A-1 split behind both ears. Pheros smells so damn good, so I could understand why she wanted me to

reveal my secret. I just told her it couldn't be bought in stores. Anyway, I had a very good day at work with the

mones. One girl I work with seems heavily influenced by them, and we've been flirting A LOT lately. I'm talking

deep eye contact kinda stuff.

Anyway, I didn't mean to get off topic. Bottom line, I'd give Polo Sport a

shot. It's nothing out of the ordinary, but it smells great.

I'm buying the full Dia later this

week.
Anyone ever tried Tweed?

[kaiser76]

Anyone tried Happy by Clinique?

The young ladies seem to love it. i usually wear BLV and New West. seems to go well with my body chemistry.

I've tried Happy before. Very light and citrus like...very nice for warmer weather.

I agree. Think its more of a

"day' fragrance

DCW

Do you mean Green Irish Tweed from

Creed?

If so, I think it rivals Amouage Dia (and I like it much more than Gold). There is another Creed that

has a little more citris that is also very good but more of a Summer scent.

[Donovan]

It seems most prefer

Amouage Dia vs Gold.
I like Dia, but it is not in the same league as Amouage Gold.
JMHO.

Just

surfed and found out that Dia and Gold costs 175 euros for a 50ml bottle??

That's a lot to pay for a

fragrance isn't it?

I got a sample of Gold from Parfumes Raffy and wore it to work one day last week. I

polled about 30 women of all ages and cultures and the overwhelming reaction was that it was too powdery and

unmasculine.

Interesting to note was that the few that liked it were some software engineers (not that what

they do for a living makes any difference) from India.

[phersurf]

THe next day I wore a sample of

Green Irish Tweed and I thought many of the same women from the day before were going to atack me

I still

haven't tried Dia yet.

Tweed sounds wicked, they have the 4oz on sale here in

town, Dia is out of stock because of this fourm
I'm going to put both on my shopping

list.

DCW,

How much is the 4 oz. Green

Irish Tweed?
Unlike the Amouage line there are a lot of good deals on Creed products online.

DCW

Interesting that you say that. The guy that owns Parfums Raffy in LA says his Amouage

sales have made a jump (mostly online sales) in the last 1-2 months.

Could this forum have that much power!

Yes, that and word of mouth so

expect a price increase in the near future IMHO.

DCW,

Thanks!

But it's no wonder they're overstocked.

I bought my last bottle for a little more than 60 bucks at

www.theperfumespot.com.

The stuff took two days to get to me and

there were four free samples in the box.

Here's the page for

Green Irish Tweed.

Damn you guys are fast!!
I was just about to post that same site saying that they have

a better deal!!!

Is the site for real!!! Quality wise?

[Red Stripe]

For anyone looking at an

alternative, Curve is almost a dead ringer for GIT and much less expensive.



http://www.scentiments.com/scentimen...CS62B0X8M84RP6



Scentiments.com also has Silver mountain water in stock for $36 unboxed. Less than 20 for a 4oz of curve..

The dude at Raffy said that he is getting call daily

about fake bottles of Tweed circulating everywhere, those who bought it before often can tell the difference newbees

like myself may
not.
I gave him the price of $63.02 and he said "thats crazy we can't even buy it for that."


So who the hell know.

I've been in his

store a couple of times and he seems like a straight shooter.

He sells the 1 oz size of GIT for $90, so $63

for 4 oz seems like it's too good to be true.

Gents,

I once ordered the bundle

of Creed samples from ParfumsRaffy and it contained a sample of what I assume to be genuine Creed Green Irish Tweed.

I've also sampled the fragrance at Lord & Taylor and checked out the packaging. I have no reason to believe that

the bottle I got from theperfumespot is anything other than the genuine article. The fragrance and the packaging are

exactly what they're supposed to be.

I'll stand by my recommendation.

Sounds good, I'm tempted, how does it hold up does it have a lasting quality on the

skin?

Based on info on this

subject above, I bought Very Sexy by Victoria's Secret and Amourage Gold. I prefer Very Sexy. You can get a

sample of 4 Amourage male scents for $25 on their site. Very Sexy lasts, goes well with all the products from

love-scent. I found Amourage too sweet and did not last that long.... but I continue to test.

[bottomfisher]

If you want to try some of

the cologne's above ask the online fragrance store to sell you a sample bottle or a tester. Testers sometimes do

not have box, but very inexpensive.
