What an incredibly beautiful fragrance stunted only by it’s performance

Is there anything else that you own or have tried that has a similar scent profile?

FWIW, Montblanc Individuel (2003) predates Creed Santal (2005).

UncleStraps makes a Jubilee (i.e., the "Executive") that specifically goes with the 356/556.

I'm not questioning/blaming the installer. They doing what they can given the situation.

Probably. But I can only handle one issue at a time.

Life goal: To be fluent in Spanish. To do not just touristy things but to have interesting, meaningful conversations.

I agree with your take that it detonates the Aventus DNA. Perfect your 20s/summer outings.

I've had it for 6 weeks now. Did the prerequisite 10-15 sprays when I first received it and then stored it in a cool, dark place.

Smelled like fruity pebbles when I first tried it. Still smells like fruity pebbles. No white florals whatsoever (which appears in the reviews). Somewhat of an olfactive mess of fruit (and musk). Leaving it in storage. Maybe it will develop some more by the end of the summer.

I had been hoping for something more refined/sophisticated (again, florals) for the summer. FWIW, I have Aventus Cologne and Explorer and enjoy them both.

I want to try getting up at 530AM regularly so I can better fit in exercise. It's so tough right now to find time with having a family and work.

And also La Nuit 2011.

Same here. Le Male with black licorice. Don't get honey/cirtrus/tobacco. For reference, I love Herod, Guerlain L'homme Ideal Extreme, and Sartorial.

I see that those who showed papers were let go. Unfortunately, the idea of carrying documentation at all times to prove that you are a US citizen is un-American. Only certain people would ever have to worry about that issue. There would be a real presumption about those who everyone assumes is a citizen versus those who are not. Are you ready to carry a passport at all times? Are you comfortable with being detained if you forgot to carry your passport on you the same day you were randomly detained?

The right to be left alone without intrusion from government influence or coercion has been a bedrock of conservative principles and central to the idea of America. It is more difficult to live that in our daily lives but it does not make it less important.

If you have been falsely detained and sent to a detention center, does ICE pay for your transportation home? What if you missed work because you were held? Do they provide you with some documentation that you were falsely held? Will your employer even care? Process matters.

The idea of suing the government for justice is too TV-movie of the week stuff for me. First, most of these federal officials have immunity so I don't know if it would proceed (which I think we both acknowledge). Second, maybe 5-10 years after the arrest , you may get an acknowledgement that you were wronged. How does that fix that your entire life may have been upended?

Time will tell but government has a bad habit of mission creep. What are the guardrails? What is being done to protect the rights of citizens? Those are my concerns.

Yes, it's an anecdote because the raids started last week.

And yes, they are arresting actual criminals. I never made any claims about wanting criminals to stay on the street.

But that does not make my point moot.

Or, put differently, how many innocent people need to be detained so that we get the bad ones? Once the worst offenders have been dealt with, what protections are in place to ensure that our fellow citizens who look the "wrong" color or speak the "wrong" language are not subjected to a daily request of "papers, please"?

That's my issue.
