I misstated some facts in my post. I had Channel when there was only 1 choice and it was the best I ever had. Simply called Channel for Men. This one you point at is great indeed. I was given a bunch of other stuff for birthdays, Christmas, etc and so I got away from what I liked for HER. LOL She is gone now so I restarted with Allure.

This Eqoiste is not so hard to find. I am just not that fond of the vanilla scents. Is the vanilla a very faint or pronounced part of the mixture ?

Yes indeed it is. The vanilla is very mild and barely there which is a good thing for me as I find modern perfumers put too much vanilla too sweeten things up. The chicks go crazy for such fragrances mind you!

After the last thread, which cost me some money by the way, I pick up both the Guerlain Vetiver and Habit Rouge and have to say that I have never had more compliments like I have received on both of these in a long time.

So, anyone tried anything really great lately? What's new out there? What's old out there? Pics? Reviews? I better zip up my pockets now.........

Have fun.

Lynn You MUST get Amouage Tribute Attar and their EDP Interlude Man!!!!!! Fantastic and will last forever.
Also Tom Ford Italian Cypress.
Let me know when you are down this way and I will decant some for you to try.

Quite a complex and long lasting scent, with a high rating among the females in my household.
A tad on the pricey side, but well worth it, it really doesn't take much

Agreed! and as Rum said though, They last a long time as a little bit goes a long way!
