Sartorial?
"Designed to evoke the mingling aromas of a tailor's work room."
I've had a suit altered, I think the guy was a tailor. Perhaps tailors are defined by someone who can make a suit from a bolt of fabric....but look that up if you must....I am too busy laughing at the copy writer who decided that in an Eau de Toilette Spray you would want to smell like a tailor's work room. I think they got that description from the name of the product from Penhaligon's, Sartorial. But what do you imagine a tailor's work room smells like? I'm thinking cigar or cigarette smoke, light machine oil, body odor, methane gas.....in fairness to this expensive product, they later tell you what you are supposed to be smelling: aromatic fougere (so far so good if it smells like my MDC fougere), metallic effects (this might be the way scissors smell if you put them under your nose and open and close them real fast), honey (how could that be wrong?), spices (whoa, we have about 46 of those in the cupboard and I know there are a lot more, so this is cheating a little), tobacco (my old man used to smell like tobacco, Old Spice, and beer farts, not the most sartorial combination), chalk (come on...you know to mark the fabric), fabric (that is a hard smell to pin down), and finally, wood (somebody is sporting wood in a tailor's work room, pretty standard knowledge). So, has anyone tried it? Personally, I'm not a Eau de Toilette guy, strictly aftershave."Call me Ishmael"
