...s. Tar, then I must try Womanity and something from Fuegia 1833. Love Annick Goutal's Nuit Etoilée. Don't know ELDO and Byredo yet.Tar:Sleuth:@ Tar: And what is the ´hype-king' for you? A frag that deserves the hype?Thank you for the question. :roll: Thierry Mugler - because of Womanity...

...To pose a different question..Why do you like Kenzo p. homme so much?

...OVERHYPED: CreedOkay, they definitely smell good. But if a person pays € 150 he should get more than just "smell good". IMHO Chanel has the same quality for 1/3rd the price.HYPE-KING: many fragrances made by perfumer Annick Menardo deserve the hype.Examples:- "Bvlgari Black", with the famous rubber-like/plastic-like smell.- "Boss Bottled" (okay, not a hype but a favourite for many men -- and it deserves the good reputation)- "Hypnotic Poison" = a popular women's fragrance with almond. It's worth smelling.Menardo also made: "Potion" (weird amber) , "Body Kouros" (eucalyptus), "Au Masculin" (liquorice) and "La Collection Privée - Bois d'Argent"

...Hi MV,One other thought that occurred to me is that Le Mâle also contains some herbs and wood, and maybe those ingredients make the vanilla a bit more masculine.But I think your explanation makes more sense, thanks!

...Sleuth:A different question about "Le Mâle"...I found the Le Mâle deodorant in the bargain bin, so I bought it and I've been using it the past few days... good? Normally I don't like vanilla. Is the vanilla maybe combined with another ingredient, that makes it extra appealing?This is quite interesting, Sleuth. I am picky about vanilla, too, and I find almost every incarnation of Le Mâle delightful, including many knock-offs to boot. The reason I can think...

...that Sleuth. No luck on checkcosmetic.net either. The code on the box is 90f58 or 00f58, hard to tell because its printed over the bar code. But the formula for...

...Damn that sucks.You could try www.checkcosmetic.net , though I've never tried it.Well I've never been really ripped off. But I did get one bottle that got me doubting because it smelled differently from a decant that I received earlier.On which site did you get the dubious bottle of Calandre?

...laundry.Perfume that smells like food, or food that tastes like perfume?

...I don't know but you can always ask an independent perfumer like Kerosene or Andy Tauer.
