Yves Saint Laurent - Rive Gauche Pour Homme, After Shave.

What kind of longevity do you get with the aftershave?

 

[Ali AD]

The Eau De Parfum version of No.88....So good!!

 

[WarmJewel]

What kind of longevity do you get with the aftershave?

So far so good! I'll let you know more later in the day when its faded.

Shamal, Maserati. 1992.

Green, woody, a bit smoky...the opening is very nice. I'm waiting for the evolution on my skin.

How does this compare to the flagship Maserati fragrance? The one in the identical bottle.

Oscar de la Renta pour Lui

 

[Bavard]

My vintage scent of the day is Hermes Bel Ami.

It has 161 recorded wearings. I think I'll get to 200 finishing this bottle.

 

[CookBot]

It has 161 recorded wearings. I think I'll get to 200 finishing this bottle.

So if you were a normal person who wore the same scent around 5 times a week and started this bottle on January 1st, you'd now be at Week 32 (August) and the rest of the bottle would carry you through October. Yeah, that sounds about right... for a normal person.

Oscar de la Renta pour Lui

Nice vintage choice!

Happy 20th birthday and welcome to the vintage forum, Cabaret!

Cabaret (2003) EDP by Michel Almairic for Grès

A clear rosewater note with a warm, incense/wood base that could give Czech & Speake's No. 88 a run for its money, at a tiny fraction of the price. Pity about the ugly bottle.

 

[Redfish365]

Jaguar Mark II by Jaguar. (1995)
(This beauty is all about the patchouli. Sandalwood and something musky provide support. It's classy and powerful with outstanding performance.)

 

[Redfish365]

I'll admit the interesting bottle and name caught my attention. It's a pleasant fragrance indeed. Aubusson Futuros has some striking similarities IMHO.

Futuros by Aubusson is a spectacular fragrance and is among the best deals out there right now price wise. I love the weird bottle too!

Excellent!......BTW, is there a function on here that gives that kind of count info, and if so, where? I'm curious how many times I wore Chanel Pour Monsieur last year - the site said it was my most worn fragrance, but didn't give an actual number (that I can recall).

The stats are under "SOTD," "Most-worn Charts," "All Time."

Always been curious about this one, but it sure does command unicorn prices!

Happy BN Anniversary, @grayspoole !

Acqua di Selva, Visconti di Modrone. 1949.

Layering after-shave with eau de toilette. I'm wearing this one for the first time; the after-shave is incredibly good. The scent is complex, albeit from 1949, and the feeling of freshness is awesome.

SOTD: Antaeus

The Baron by Evyan/LTL (1961)

Smell like a soapy carnation? Sure, why not?
