It’s good stuff. Try 1 million lucky, too. I think you’ll like it.

I'm wearing one of my PP aftershaves today and my neck is red raw :-(

Which one?

Mont Blonc Legend I think, I was in a rush this morning and just grabbed one. To be honest, I think the same thing happened with my PP version of spice bomb

Was it the oil roll on versions? Some days the roll on ones do that to me.

I've had a few PP ones that have made me go red and sting.

Won't be getting anymore.

Tried loads of PP and all been fine touch wood.

Comments on Armarni's 'Stronger with you' this past weekend at a wedding shoot were very good. Shooting the bridesmaids getting ready part and they passed comment that whatever I had on was really warm and homely, that usually the stuff they smell on guys is "whoah dude tone it down a bit!". They said the only other fragrance they liked and felt similar about was Creed. And then the conversation changed to saggy ballsacks....

My favourite ~£60 fragrance for sure. That and Iceberg Twice @ £12 odd on Amazon. Superb combination.

I find the lack of Estee Lauder products in here disturbing.

You guys need to get more Tom Ford in your lives and even some Aramis (which isn't as bad as people make it out to be!)

Currently using Aramis but only because it came in my summer goody bag from work. Great for the wife as she gets loads of stuff but not so good for me!

Wearing Bvlgari Man in Black today. Seems to suit the weather taking a nose dive and feeling a little chillier. Nice frag with a 'polished' warm leather and powdery tone to it - suits wearing it for the office perfectly. Certainly a bit different from my favourites of Sauvage EDP & CDNI.

"No. 116 (Grey Vetiver)
Reminds me of Mr Sheen or Pledge - very disappointing."

I think I was too hasty with this one, I've grown to like it a lot. Lasts ages too.

I bought a bottle of CDNI and Ive had a few compliments so far. Someone thought it was Creed. It has a good longevity aswell.

I lost mine, but found it in the boot of my car of all places. Was very happy, as it's a frag I really like.

If you like Sauvage, try and get a sniff on Coach for Men. Similar scent DNA but much better imo.

Will give this a whiff next time I am in JL in Southampton as I think I've seen this there. I am always willing to try new stuff so thanks for the recommendation.

Also try out Prada Luna Rossa Carbon. It’s very similar to Sauvage but not as harsh on the nose.

I had it before Sauvage, It's a nice frag but I prefer Sauvage EDP. I find the LRC has a little too much Lavender in it in the dry down and that's pretty much all it smells of in the end.

The EDT of Sauvage to me is too obnoxious with the Ambroxan at the start and can be a real room clearer if applied too liberally.. The EDP however, is literally perfection with the warm spicy-ness alongside the Lavender and earthy base - my girlfriend just melts at the slightest whiff of it.

Picked up some Issey Miyake - Intense last week, the 125ml is half price in Superdrug at the moment - really like it, usually wear Sauvage but fancied a change.

Few people have commented on how nice it smells and it seems to last all day on my skin also - tempted to give CDNI a try after seeing it mentioned so many times.

A Review of sorts, of the Musk and Hustle samples I received. Note it seems that they do capture the originals quite well, so my comments aren't directed at the clones themselves.

No. 165 (La Nuit de l'Homme by YSL)
This is as expected, I have a flanker of the original and this is spot on.

No. 11 (Allure Homme Sport)
Love this! Fresh citrusy summer smell.

No. 116 (Grey Vetiver)
Reminds me of Mr Sheen or Pledge - very disappointing.

No. 208 (Oud Wood by Tom Ford)
New Favourite, no kidding, this is fantastic. Deep, warm and smooth (Oh Matron!)

No. 84 (Dior Homme Sport)
Just terrible, synthetic teenager stuff.

No. 252 (Spicebomb)
Disappointed with this, doesn't smell like the name if that makes sense, no gravitas at all.

i like the fact the stubbies are so small that even if you don't like one you can give it away, etc.

then the ones you do like buy the bigger version next time around.
