[gimmegimme]

Are you getting your Ormonde Jayne samples for free or from the sample programme which cost £28 ?

I got the sample set as a gift. Every Christmas they have a 20% off sale or something like that.

cdg 3 a safe gift to a lady friend of mine?

any other suggestions would be lovely

Hmm...not really. I don't know her mind you, but 3 is a pretty strange scent, so it's not the safest gift in the world. If you know she likes it, then yes, but otherwise, I'd go with something safer. Do you know what she wear now?

gimme, i tried that givenchy "play"...and sorry but all i can tell you it's that feels pretty good on me (i'm less than a neophyt)

There's a new Chanel No. 5 called Eau Premiere...it's very nice. I'm going to get a bottle for myself.

I'm bored, so just in case anyone comes across it, the new Gucci for men is shite.

That is all.

Thanks for the code by the way, now I'm tearing my hair out over whether or not I should buy palisander :(

[monook]

Blindly purchased some Ormonde Woman for the missusses birthday out of weakness and desperation but it is an instant hit and I find myself loving it too. Surprised to hear it termed as 'masculine', dark sensual and mature, all female attributes as far as I'm concerned.

Came with samples of Ormonde Man and Isfarkand. The Man I found overly sweet but Isfarkand is a winner the drydown is perfectly subtle for me and I think I'll be making the leap definitley something I could wear on the daily.

On another note Ormonde's customer service is outstanding as my original order did not arrive after a week possibly lost/stolen and after an email or two my bottle arrived next day.

I find both OJ Man and Woman to be very similar, but Man has more of a synthetic called Iso E Super, which is the prominent ingredient you smell in the drydown of Isfarkand. It's all very subjective though as far as what you find masculine or feminine, but I think both Man and Woman are good for either sex.

Either way, it's a great company with very unique and quaity scents.

Six Scents Launches Tonight

We love when designers team up for new collaborations, especially when said pairings benefit charity. Six Scents, a series of perfumes designed by six designers and curated by Seven's Joseph Quartana, launches tonight at the New Museum. The fragrances — by Alexandre Herchcovitch, Bernhard Willhelm, Gareth Pugh, Jeremy Scott, Preen, and Cosmic Wonder Light Source — are limited edition (only 2,000 of each were made), so expect a mad dash for bottles. We have to admit, so far we're partial to the Preen, Herchcovitch, and Jeremy Scott scents.

Collectors and fragrance fiends, get ready to line up: The perfumes go on sale Friday or Monday at Seven in New York and are $85 for individual scents, $510 for the set. But a percentage of the proceeds go toward funding for the Designers Against AIDS, International AIDS Awareness Education Center in Antwerp, Belgium. So you can feel good about opening your tight wallet right now. Other stores include Oak, New Museum Shop, Woodley & Bunny, Opening Ceremony, TG-170, and Aedes De Venustas, but we suggest calling and checking stock availability. For those outside of the New York area, you'll have to wait until mid-November to find the scents at specialty shops. (Hint: If it's a cool boutique, it'll carry it. Colette and 10 Corso Como, we're looking at you.) Wouldn't these make great stocking stuffers for the fashion girl and boy in your life? (Seriously, Mom, hint hint.)

haha, I thought you might have.

The dill scares me in that one; let us know how you like it!

From the lists of notes, I have to say that the Jeremy Scott one sounds the most to my taste.

[inaya]

^ haha to be honest I think Cosmic Wonder and Willhelm's may be better suited for me but Gareth's packaging wins

[arlee]

i'm going with cosmic wonder as my 1st one, probably diagonal after that
