Misc Cologne Crew Part.XV: No Homme-o

+1 on wampa's info.

Yeah, here's a test of DHI 2007-2013. http://raidersofthelostscent.blogspo...9-batches.html

OG OG: Batches from 2007 to 2010 are really identical each other, with a crisp and beautiful vanilla-iris-chocolate accord, along with the best DHI tradition.

Batches 2N01 and 2U01 are different from others: the chocolate seems less solid, so the iris take the advantage. Thes batches appears more Iris-centered. It's a paradox: if you love mainly the Iris note, you should seek year 2012 batches. Rarely I found a strongest Iris note. However, it's still DHI, although reformulated: no doubt. It could be considered almost a DHI "flanker".

Year 2013: this is the pivotal point. The strangest thing is that.... all three batches smell the same, and all three are pretty similar, if not identical, to the "Vintage" ones. Nonetheless, if you look at the juice of the last two batches (3X02 and 3Y01), it's appear almost "transparent". Apparently, another reformulation occurred during last months of year 2013, but it seems not to have changed -luckily- the smell. Until now.

EDIT:

He feels that 2014 is GOOD.

http://raidersofthelostscent.blogspo...date-2014.html

. All "year 2014" batches (January, February and March) appear to be identical to the "year 2013".

I noticed only a slight difference with the "Golden Standard" (year 2007). Probably the "year 2007" bottle is the best one ever, but differences are minimal, in my opinion.

Longevity is very high Sillage/projection is very high.

In my opinion DHI remains a very solid scent in 2014.

Iris, vanilla, and cocoa are intense -and persistent- in all batches considered.
There are no traces of the famous/infamous "year 2011-2012 reformulation" that wiped off all cocoa notes.

Got Dior Sauvage, from your friend and mine Johnny Depp.

Smelled it in the shop and thought it was generic and soapy, but after getting a freebie travel size, I found its the longest lasting cologne I've ever had and smells quite good after sitting on the skin a while.

I played with the amounts and its really good stuff.

This sounds pretty damn hnggg

For some reason this week I wore the same frag like 4 days in a row. Oajan by Parfums de Marly.

Canadian brahs, how are you dealing with the exchange rate of peace? Been doing most of my spending locally lately but I bit the bullet and picked up a pair of loafers from Eve and Kane. Sucks knowing I could have technically bought them about a year and a half ago and saved 45 bucks...

Going to buy some cologne @ lord and Taylor tomarrow

Any ideas?

**tradja** · 01-21-2016, 12:33 AM

SOTD Nautica Voyage. Always wanted to try this poverty frag. It finally arrived. About what I expected, but better longevity.

My wife has these priceless spontaneous 1-line reviews of my frags.
Wife's 1 line review of Voyage: "Smells like the mall!"

I wish all frags came in as nice a bottle as $13 Voyage does.

**themiscwiz** · 01-21-2016, 04:25 AM

Anyone know where I can get the cheapest/fastest shipping for Burberry Touch?

Might try the mall, but all online stores have longer than normal shipping times. And Amazon has the cologne for crazy high prices.

Thanks.

PM me for reps

Dearest Cologne Crew,

Looking for recommendations that resemble Penhaligon's Opus 1870. Got this, along with a few other scents, in a trial...and I LOVE this fragrance but it's expensive as hell.

Does anyone know anything similar that won't bankrupt me in the long run?

**BeefStrokinoff** · 01-21-2016, 07:38 AM

SOTD: Tuscan Narguile

Amazing. Ratio 2 AN: 1 TL

Brah, its under $50. That's relatively cheap for fragrances. its going to be difficult to find a clone that's cheaper than that.

I have a feeling you'd enjoy this one knowing you love your gourmands. It's heavy on the tonka been, slightly creamy and a touch powdery. Like Ion said opening is a bit all over the place but it dries down to a yummy tonka bean and boozy vanilla. I really dislike tonka in heavy doses but this ones done right.
