Just arrived Encre Noire Extreme...great value for money imho...definitely worth a try
Hermes Eau d'Orange Verte and Clinique Happy (men's)
Just arrived Encre Noire Extreme... and its truly awful. A massive mistake blind buy. It reminds me of Anchorman - Sex Panther https://youtu.be/We04Ej-mgXk
I might give it away for a fundraiser or something.
I bought it from allbeauty.com - hope its not a fake or something?

What exactly is everyone seeing in the Encre Noir Extreme? I'm not getting it. Burnt rubber in the distance is how I'd pitch it. If that's what the manufacturer was aiming for they nailed it.

I had a big bottle of encre noir and quickly got bored of it it smells like guerlain vetiver mixed with fag ash
Just bought Creed Himalaya from Scent Samples. Very impressive + the wife loves it too. I was going to go for a full 50ml but they are now low on stock.
Aramis for daytime, and Loewe Esencia for evenings, top notch
Brut.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Ralph Lauren Polo Blue EDP is at Boots for £30 125ml (was £75). I have ordered a bottle in the hope it is nice as seems a good price.
Today wearing a masterpiece by Tauer...L'air du desert marocain...a great scent!!
I tried creed royal Mayfair in John Lewis at the weekend, wasn't sure at first but after a few minutes I found it to be truly gorgeous. Might get some from scent samples for weekend wear. Still loving Aventus too and Tom Ford Neroli Portofini as a daily scent.
I did try Tera De Hermes based on feedback here and whilst nice it's not as good as anything from creed in my opinion
I walked past a guy coming out of his hotel room last night, who was reeking of Jazz!
Memories of boogying on down at the discotheque in the 80s came flooding back through my nostrils!
It's always Bleu by Chanel for me
Proper bloke smelly

Scent Samples - 20% off code - BLACK20 - made the most of it and being an Aventus fan and a regular creed and green irish tweed wearer have decided to try himalay and bois du portugal

This thread has cost me a lot of money lol. I've now joined various fragrance forum's and signed onto a couple of bottle splits on Basenotes. For the uninitiated, this involves buying a share of a bottle (in my case a 250ml of Milliseme Imperial & Green Irish Tweed). Once all the slots are filled, the split organiser purchases, decants and posts out fragrance. Obviously a high level of trust is required but I've done a fair amount of research and all looks legit. The guys on Basenotes are as fanatical about fragrance as we are about watches on here so anything untoward would be quickly called out I suppose.
If anyone's interested just take a look at the splits section. Most splits are in the US but one guy (Palmolive) is based in the UK.
I'm pretty lucky as my other half is a fragrance consultant so brings me home a rather large collection every other week
Givenchy gentlemen is the latest I've been using it smells amazing
Also Paco rabanne pure XS
But usually I just use Tom ford

Currently in love with tom ford tuscan leather, but as a daily wearer, its rather expensive, so currently wearing monotheme leather as a daily wearer alternative, keeping the TF for weekends.
I like Comme des Garcons - Floriental. Or at least the gf likes it... Personally, I think we are masking our natural odours and ending up with people we wouldn't be as attracted to due to a disguising of pheromones. :)
Maybe not....
15% off selected Tom Ford from Scent Samples today.

I have been using Pal Zileri Cuoio....really nice with a very good persistence....will definitely buy again
It used to be Antaeus by Chanel for me. Now I have a beard and just smell of bloke.
After trying loads of options I wear loccitaine in the day (you could wear anytime) and either Marc jacobs for men, paco rabanne XS or Hermes de Terre for a night out.
I was bought as a secret santa joke the beckham instinct a couple of years back and i really liked it.
My wife gets very amorous when I wear Bleu de Chanel :-)
I have however, sent off for 4 vials from Scent Sample:
Neroli Portofino
Oud Wood
Tobacco Vanille
Silver Mountain Water
I picked up a 5ml vial of the Tobacco Vanille a couple of weeks ago. It’s, errr, well, very tobaccoey. The vanilla goes quite quickly and leaves a softer, more rounded but very tobaccoey smell. It’s not unpleasant but I’m not really sure when/where I’m going to wear it again.
I’d be interested in others’ opinions as skin plays a big part in olfactive profile.
Oud wood and Neroli Portfofino are superb though.
I have Tom Ford,Polo,Joop which I prefer but loads of others too.
Tom Ford for me under my wife's instructions. Neroli or Mandarino

We have a box at the Emirates and after the Newcastle game we got samples of Aventus by Creed. Wow was that nice but it's £250 in John Lewis!!!!
