Fragrances

[Broark]

Finally found my new scent. Sampled the SF and Paris city exclusives as well, but this one really stood out.

Ironically, I've settled on a Le Labo fragrance also, for my cool-weather scent – Thé Noir 29. The only other one I've sampled from Le Labo is Bergamot 22, which was also great.

Picked up some samples of this in Brighton on Thursday, really refreshing smell and a nice story to go with how it all came about.

http://eightandbob.com

The basics of the story were, that JFK was on the the French Rivera and smelt this fragrance on a young guy and they got talking, it turneds out the guy made his own fragrances. JFK returned to the states and wrote to the guy and asked if he could buy eight bottles for friends and one for Bob (his brother)…..

The full story is on the website...

Great story, but even they acknowledge…..

"The story of Eight & Bob is based on a family story transmitted verbally over time. For its final narration, fictionalized facts and characters were introduced."

[rocket]

might use that for my next tax statement…

[Snowy]

Wow, basically someone got drunk made a story up. Someone called him on it and it stuck and it's turned into a company built on BS.  :D. Talk about way to continue the narrative.

[Giles]

Lots of brands do this and pisses the fuck out of me…

[Snowy]

And I'm still interested in the fragrances you folks are wearing, what are you liking folks??

[501IH]

Hi Snowy, my fave still is Bowling Green (Geoffrey Beene). Most often go without a fragrance, though. Hope all is well with you down under.

[TheTrooper]

Surprisingly, a lot of japanese stuff here as well….

Still, Creed Aventus is my favorite, it´s very long-lasting and just great fragrance.

[xtcclassic]

Yeah, I've spent the better part of the past year trying to find one fragrance that I could make my signature scent, and trying really hard to not let it be Aventus just because of all the hype. I've all but given up, it's just such a great and versatile scent. I've found quite a few great options along the way, though, including Royal Mayfair and Millesime Imperial (also from Creed), Thé Noir 29, Rose 31, and Gaiac 10 from Le Labo, Bergamot Soleil and Mistral Patchouli from Atelier, Eau d'Orange Verte from Hermes, and Jubilation XXV from Amouage. But I think Aventus will be my main go-to, with a few of the others for special occasions or just to switch it up a bit.

… @TheTrooper I still want to try the CdG Incense though. Which one is that?

Resistance is futile, seriously.

Quarzazate and Jaisalmer

[louisbosco]

actually it depends, @Snowy what kind of smells do you like?

[Graeme]

I don't wear fragrances, but I got dragged into Commes des Garcon by @louisbosco, and quite liked Wonderwood, Wonderoud, and Amazingreen.

Of the three, Amazingreen stuck in my head, but it smells rather like a mixture of a woodland and a salad. I'm not sure if it would be particularly versatile, but it is distinctive.

[louisbosco]

i need to go and smell the rest again. the wonderwood is feeling a little too strong over time..
