SOTN: Fabergé - McGregor

Oh, @Ali AD

Fun fact: Clothing company McGregor Corp.—owned by “junk bond king” Meshulam Riklis—bought Fabergé in early 1984. Fabergé issued McGregor cologne in 1988. (The 1983 date in the BN directory and elsewhere is erroneous.) Not to be confused with MacGregor cologne, sold c. 1950s–1970s.

Interesting. Didn't know that (y)

I think the sprayer head on the Eau de Toilette is playing up as it's not dispensing as it should. I've tried the upside down trick and it didn't work, I think I might try soaking it in some Isopropyl Alcohol. Anyone have any tips on clearing sprayer heads?

An alcohol soak is a good idea. I’d try swapping on a known good and compatible nozzle to see if that one works. If it doesn’t, then you know your problem is further down. Sometimes, the end of a sprayer tube lodges against the glass in such a way as to block the flow of liquid. I haven’t figured out how to fix that.

SOTE: Flor de Blason by Myrurgia. I got a sealed vintage bottle of this super cheap, and I've enjoyed the Myrurgia I had tried so far, so why not. I agree with @PStoller that this is a "dusky floral fougère". This reminds me of a feminine fougere like ambush with but with more sage and a slightly darker feel. I didn't get much brightness/citrus in this, but could be from the age of the bottle (even though it was sealed). I'm definitely a fan of the feminine leaning/unisex fougère. On a tangent, I really love the Myrurugia 1916 cologne I recently purchased. The only complaint is, like other eaux, I wish it lasted longer :D
