Gimme is right, it is pretty boring but I use it as my everyday scent (got it as a gift) and it's not bad. I wouldn't buy it but It's not horrible.

I just got a sample of CDG 71 from a friend. I put it on about half hour ago, I like it so much that it made my pb &j i just ate taste 10x better. weird.

That's one of the stranger things I've heard today...

[tangerine]

Yes, I was wearing it yesterday, and my pbj tasted the same as usual; should I use more fragrance?

[gimmegimme]

Oh wait...did you put the 71 ON the pbj? That probably would make it taste different...previous comment retracted.

Luxe series available in the US now:

Stupid expensive.

Also keep your eyes open for the new Costume National, due out at the end of this year.

Can you get any more hypebeast than combinging the words CDG & collabo? *sigh*

Anyway...article regarding two british collaborations with CDG Parfums. One with beer-heiress Daphne Guinness (hopefully as good as the beer) and one with hat-maker Stephen Jones.

I'm set on buying the John Varvatos Vintage after having a sample today. I'm completely inexperienced when it comes to colgne but I rather enjoyed the fragrance. Will this work as a day-to-day fragrance? It seemed subtle enough and I'm only a student so...

[esem]

Just ordered a couple samples from this place : http://www.socialcreatures.co.uk/

Anyone tried the two scents they have out?

[fg0d]

I know I get repetitive with these questions, but can you guys recommend a good cinnamon, vanilla, and cocunut scent? I want something warm. Oh, and does anyone know of any scents that smell like marijuana?

edit: Has anyone tried that Ruehl cologne?

I'd say its a good daytime cologne.

Never heard of them...let us know what you think when you get them.

Try Rousse by Serge Lutens...a dry cinnamon scent...and almost all of his stuff has vanilla in the base. Coconut's a trickier one...Comptoir Sud Pacifique made a lot of vanilla based scents...lots of coconut options too. They tend to smell like dessert though.

Cannabis Santal is probably the closets thing you'll get to smelling like marijuana without the real thing...

[///mzeasy]

I'm intrigued now, what would be a good night-time cologne (with a similar characteristic to the varvatos vintage)?

Not yet....

Comptoir Sud Pacifique looks a bit cheap, like a French axe or something, judging from their site. Can you give me some insight?

Anyone else have some suggestions?

[goldengloves]

Not yet....

I think I'm gonna order a sample or them both and see how i like it. They make some of my most favorite scents though.

I also gotta try a few of those new 'sweet' scents.

Ha...they're usually over $100/bottle, so they're not that cheap. Some of their stuff is childish, but their men's scents are quite unique. If you come across Ecume de The (Tea), make sure you try it.

Did you look at Serge Lutens? Its probably the most highly regarded perfume house around.

If you have $50 to spare...luckyscent has a sample pack of those two scents, all the lutens scents, and some of the super-pricey l'artisan samples.

[goldengloves]

Hmm, that's not too bad. I like dealing with luckyscent too. That's where I've got all my CDG scents from.

[esem]

Oh, and does anyone know of any scents that smell like marijuana?

Heavy on the patchouli.

Has anyone tried bois 1920 - Sushi imperiale? whats your verdict

They're both really nice...make sure you order samples though, because they're pricey and not for everyone. Its very spicy and peppery.
