    Ermenegildo Zegna does a nice, subtle blend, but its expensive, from £100 - £150. It stays all day, has a quick dry-down and you only need a little, so its not as bad re value as it looks.

    Neil,

    I don't know why I am thanking you, I'm saving loose change now in a canvas bag for a 3 pack of tighty whities so doubtful that I'll be dropping $2 bills on this......Name: 62000470kr_12n_f.jpg Views: 512 Size: 11.2 KB The Oud blend I mention above is an essential oil and still is an incredible fragrance......plus in the advert they mention, "Captivating and intoxicating, this scent is for nights that require something special." I might have to get into the time machine for one of those but thanks.....I"ll place it in the bag of dreams.

    Bill

    to me

    Hi XXXX,

    Thanks for the well wishes. At the moment, looks like I may have found out a solution that makes all 4 regulatory bodies happy.
    It seems to 'work' on paper.. now I just gotta test it in real life. Should be ready to implement by the 25th of Feb. Let's see!

    Regards,
    Taha

    I received an update from Ensar Oud, a new Oud Perfume they released: Ambra, and in my haste I quickly placed an order.

    I had completely forgotten about this whole schmozzle so I sent an email inquiring as to concerns over my shipment.

    The response:

    Hello XXXXX,

    Yes, there seems to be some concern at a certain port of entry at the USA, however, our packages have not been affected. Rest assure that your package will reach you safely

    We're at your service.
    Yay!

    Edit:

    It just arrived!

    I emailed Ermenegildo Zegna to ask about the use of synthetics in their products. Below is a quote from them:
    Dear Mr. Clark,

    We do not use synthetic scents for our Essenze collection.

    Regards,
