Sartorial today, and nearly every work day lately.
Love the uniqueness and it just smells awesome IMO.
Ahhh, 1445 is about as good as it gets, IMO.Quote:

The ASB continues the aroma and moisturizing, and the EDP takes things to a heavenly ending (as opposed to a "happy ending"). Expensive? you bet. Worth it? you bet. But one caveat -- for gosh sakes, use a traditional, Sheffield near-wedge razor, to complete the ensemble.
Smooth shaving!
Bergamot, is that the main ingredient in Pinaud clubman?Quote:

Appreciate the link to the base notes in your posts as well!

Managed to get a vintage full bottle of Givenchy Gentlemen last night so was today's fragrance. Picked it up for a steal too so am pretty happy. From batch code should be either 92 or 93.
The Basenotes(dot-net) reviews were very interesting, especially the repeated references to Giorgio for Men (one of my favorite "vulgar" frags). Uh-oh... is there a sample out there, lurking and waiting for me to buy it?Quote:
