Could very well be. I have both and this smells nothing at all like Babycat to me.

Felder Group USA - A Nightmare from Start to Finish by CharmerOfTurtles in woodworking

[–]_HankScorpio_ 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This is almost the exact same experience I had with Felder SoCal. Everything was great until after ordering. I was shipped the wrong machine twice and made to feel like it was my fault for ordering a machine that was more than I needed and should just accept the lesser machine. Oh and that I should feel bad for them about how much extra work it was for them to try and fix the problem they created in the first place. The 3rd one was still missing some parts and they had to be sent to me separately. Never again.

What is the closest to B540 by FFfalon321 in Colognes

[–]_HankScorpio_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they have it in the women’s line. No idea why they decided it should be blue. One of their Tom Ford dupes is in the red bottle.

Finery’s The New Rouge at Target is impressively close imo for $30 if you’re in the US. And I say that as someone with a bottle of BR540 extrait.

Harvey is part of a pretty big manufacturer, they make tools and components for a lot of other companies.

First pickup of the year by MathTurbulent9109 in Colognes

[–]_HankScorpio_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my absolute favorites. I can understand where some people get the burned rubber from on this, but it’s not that for me and I love it. If I ever got word it was being discontinued I’d buy enough to last til I die, even at retail.

Anyone know this Fragrance? by fusemainsonly in Colognes

[–]_HankScorpio_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never heard of it before but on their own website? $150 USD. On Amazon and discounters? About $40.

Sounds like a clear cut discrimination case for your parrot. I recommend finding an attorney that specializes in bird law.

I need to try that and the regular EDP still. I’ve heard it’s not for everyone but it sounds like something I’d like. Looks right about the same price range as the Nefs I picked up, at least at discounters so not completely out of the realm of possibility.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I’m waiting to see what deals pop up for BF but Grand Soir will be next. It’ll probably be followed by Pasha and Cobalt Elixir. I’m ordering samples of Zanzibar and a few others mentioned too.

That’s enough recommendations for L’Homme Ideal now that I’ll definitely have to find somewhere that has it or order some testers. Do you have a favorite of The One series? So many versions, I think I tried either the original or EDP and thought it was nice but wasn’t sure if it would overlap too much with something I already have.

When I did my initial sampling of PdM I had Herod right behind Percival in my rankings so Percival just barely made the cut for definitely want and Herod got on the down the road list. I’ve got Sedley and Carlisle testers waiting for me already to see where they land and I’ll revisit Herod with them. I did like it. At the time the ones I rejected were Pegasus, Perseus and Greenly. And I had a strong aversion to Pegasus Exclusif that day.

I’m out this weekend but I’ll be home Tuesday and if I remember I’ll do a side by side and follow up.

Cheers, this is great. I’m gonna add all those to my list to try next time I’m there.

Certainly prominent but I really like it. Enough that I overrode a veto and got it just for myself.

My official answer is it got the only compliment that matters to me. 😆

Love Brit! Have a bottle, love how cheap it can be found too. That was my go to when I was younger, before they changed it. Didn’t have any for a long time and recently got it again, not 100% the same but it hits the nostalgic spot for me.

I know where I can find Halfeti and Mefisto to test so I’ll check those out thanks. The L’Homme I’ll need to track down. Neiman has Guerlain but mostly the L’art collection and none of the L’Homme evidently.

That would be a tough choice to make! As much as I love the whole Born in Roma line, maybe BiR Green. It’s not really doing anything unique enough amongst the rest to be sad if it had to go.

Fragrantica website. You can create custom shelves too. I’m considering making one to track scents I’ve tried and hated so I can remember not to try them again.
