Ok MSD I have gone out in to the world sampled a good amount of fragrances that you have share and some that clerks have suggested. I ordered the GIT and Himalaya from creed and I must say that GIT kills me on all fronts, I love it but I don't want to over use it. The Himalaya is an interesting fragrance, from the bottle it smells great with a bit of a punch. When I put it on that punch is even more and I am not the biggest fan of it. However, the cool down is great and is worth it.
Out of your recommendations I sampled L'Eaud D'Issey pour Homme and found it to sweet for me but interesting and defiantly different from other colognes. As for Dolce & Gabbanna pour home I like the smell but it does not last to long on my skin. I must try this fragrance again. As for the M7 I could not find any where that would let me sample it, then today I went to this little fragrance store and bam my old roommate worked there we caught up on things and she cracked the bottle open for me and gave me a whiff. Earlier this week I got to sample Creeds Tabaróme Millésime and found it to be a great smell with a older edge, fast forward to M7 and I see a resemblance (don’t hate me) and I feel it would be a great alternative.
When I looked at your collection I saw John Varvatos, and I must say it had me sold and I bought a bottle today and I love it. The cool down on my skin was fantastic. Now I want to sample Millésime Impérial as I heard it was close to unforgivable which I liked due to the tangerine but I hated because that is all it was and Millésime Impérial is said to have more to it. I also want to try fragrances buy L'Artisan and the santa work shop killer.
Also, as a funny note since I went all over the place to find this stuff and then came back to this little cart that I originally went first, and I bought the John Varvatos, the owner gave me a discount and since I wrapped with him a bit and told him of my quest and your discussion he promised to always take tax off and cut prices for my business. Today I got a 4.2 ounce bottle of JV and Nina Ricci L’Air du Temps for only 68 (48 + 20) bucks which is cheaper then retail and close to some of the cheapest prices on ebay. Thanks for all the help and if you have any other suggestions or fragrances you think I should sample I will give it a whorl. You really opened my eyes to this stuff.
