Grooming and Hygiene

Really nice set up!

How do you find the Portland General Store stuff?  I must admit it is a brand I have not heard of before.  I might try and get hold of some if you reckon it is good stuff.  I will drop them a line and see whether they will post to the UK.

I really like it. Just started using it. I bought it on sale at Gentry in Brooklyn, NY. The brush is one of the better that I have used and the cream has a nice rich, thick lather with a subtle fragrance.

I picked up Comme des Garcons' Blue Encens Eau De Parfum as my Spring/Summer scent for the year. It's early days, but a big fan so far, a lot of depth to it. Both light and deep notes.

On a related note, it's impossible to get EDT/EDP shipped from EU/UK/US to Australia, fecking annoying as the prices in AU are about twice as high as the rest of the world's.

Anyone use Jo Malone? They're meant to be used alone or layered. Grapefruit layered with Black Vetiver Cafe is a fantastic combination for me.

Nice pickup snowy. CdG releases a lot of interesting scents. Gotta order samples of Avignon, Wonderwood and 2 man.

This is where I come in, perhaps?.. Free shipping to the Land of Oz for you…

Thanks mate. I need to figure out Aussie Customs first, there's got to be something going on. I can't get a knife into the country due to customs, wouldn't be surprised if this was similar…

Well, cologne is regulated by the Geneva Convention.  But in America, the NFA (National Fragrance Association) makes sure the only way the government can get our eau d'toilet is by prying it from our cold, dead hands.  Remember, fragrances don't kill people, people kill people.  Freedom!

LMFAO

What about my freedom not to choke to death on a miasma of Drakkar stench?

[joesaintjohn]

Ummm…I have a confession. I keep a secret bottle of Drakkar that I feel the need to bust out once a month. It's hidden under my cabinet, so no one knows I have it...every time I wear it, I swear to god, I get more compliments on how good I smell...it makes me laugh so hard...

[Arabit]

Drakkar Noir is a classic. Fine with me as long as the wearer doesn't overspray

[mclaincausey]

I don't even know what it smells like it just has that notoriety

[Snowy]

I don't know the name or scent, this is very exciting. Looks like I have a mission next time I'm in the fragrance section of the mall.

I haven't worn scents other that those coming from cannabis for many years, but I loved me some Tiffany Sport back in the day.

I only wear Terre d'Hermes parfum. I love that shit.

[joesaintjohn]

I'm thinking about picking up a bottle if this because of the lore.

Guerlain Vetiver, Voyou, or Geir. I really like a good cologne. I think I spent about 600 bucks on that shit last year.

Having seen several recommendations for this, I picked some up on my last trip a few weeks back, and have to agree that it's very good
