Yendi EDT (1974) by Roberto Capucci

Absolutely spring, with a big grin on its face. I'm down to about 5mls of this, and I'm not looking forward to launching a hunt for another vintage bottle. I just don't enjoy the search as much as I used to, for reasons that I'm sure I don't have to explain to the members of this forum.

Well, sort of: my hotel’s “house fragrance” is DS & Durga Bowmakers.

That's a fairly "out there" scent for a hotel. Bold.

Well, I'm one of those who happen to love it - more than vintage Drakkar Noir, in fact. So here goes:

I'm with you @motorcade and also prefer it to Drakkar Noir.
Lomani PH is a cheapie that's worth several times its selling price. That said its selling price is quite nice as is!

Santos, Cartier. 1981.

Layering after-shave with eau de toilette. I'm wearing the after-shave for the first time; its quality is incredible.

Roger & Gallet Pour l'Homme

How do you find this in comparison to L 'Homme (vintage) my friend? Are they similar?

Givenchy III extrait (1970) by Raymond Chaillan for Givenchy

Y by Yves Saint Laurent, 1964

I did some eBay window shopping yesterday just to check a few prices, and discovered that three of the biggest bargains left in vintage chypres are "Y", Givenchy III, and Capucci Yendi, my SOTDs from this week. All could be found for around $1/ml, which is my cutoff point to signify a bargain. I'm not sure if this is because all were so plentiful in their day that they've never become rare, or if their green chypre style just isn't popular today. I suppose both reasons could be true.

My #SOTD 🤎 I should reach for this more often. (Sprayed decant left.)

Dunhill for Men, Cologne.

Dunhill for Men, Cologne.

A wonderful choice! Adore this but I've only got a recent formulation of the EDT, does anyone here favour a particular period and/or batch when it comes to vintage versions of this one?

I have this presentation of Dunhill for Men.

I had had a sample of some older stuff that I had liked more. This one has been fine, but not very exciting.

Just curious: Do you like Dunhill for Men or Dunhill Edition better?

 

[Diddy]

Well, sort of: my hotel’s “house fragrance” is DS & Durga Bowmakers.

I completely enjoy Bowmakers. I never pulled the trigger on a large bottle but it’s great for what it is.

You didn’t ask me but I love Dunhill Edition and traded my Dunhill for Men.

One of my faves of the DS&Ds I sampled. I didn’t buy, either, but I’m tempted to steal the quart shampoo bottle from the hotel.

I won’t say anything! Go for it!
