  1. Ryan, could you please PM me how much is each? Im interested in most of them, but need to know the prices first.

    Yes, those are the ones.

  2. Creed makes a whole variety of scents for men, some of which are really great.

    Good ones include:

    Royal Mountain Water

    Neroli Sauvage

    Erolfa (yes, weird name)

    and... Tabarome.

    Tabarome actually uses tobacco leaf in the formulation and has a smoky thing going on. I have worn it for years and can recommend it.

    Creed used to be at 007 Bond St. Until the importer sued the shop. I practically got murdered when i asked what happened to the Creed stuff when i went to 007 Bond last year.

    Now it's only available at Jeffery on 14th St in meatpacking district.

    $200 and up for a small bottle which should last you years.

    They go for a lot lesser on ebay, no?

  3. as a heads up, do be extra careful with your money etc as there are plenty of pickpockets in Paris. Here's one of the many schemes:

    small group (3-4) of well trained pickpockets will linger on the entry/exit ramps at Metro (subway) stations looking for a tourist exiting the Metro (subway) car. Once the targeted tourists are identified and communicated among the gang they will mix in with the group of departing Metro passengers heading for the escalator which provides access to the street level. Two gang members will locate themselves on the escalator step immediately behind the targeted tourists. A third gang member will locate himself several steps lower on the escalator. As the target reaches the halfway point on the escalator ride the third man will begin moving up the escalator by politely tapping people on the shoulder and gently pushing his way pass them until he reaches a position just in front of the targets. At this point he is very near the exit point of the escalator. Just as the escalator is about to deposit him onto the landing the third man, now in position directly in front of the targets, reaches into his pocket and pulls out a handful of coins, but awkwardly drops several onto the landing. Stepping onto the landing he bends over to pick up the coins, just as the target individuals are forced to step off of the moving escalator and bump hard into the gang member who is being very deliberate in picking up his coins. As the escalator continues to deposit people on the landing everyone, including the two pickpockets on the step behind the targets, are thrown violently into each other at which time the pickpockets quickly and without notice remove the wallets from the back pockets of the men in front of them.

    With all of the commotion and multiple people being thrown into each other no one is even aware that the wallets have been lifted until it is far too late and the gang is long gone.
