Paul Smith, and Samples galore!!!

[nailbomb3]

good lord woman, that's a CRAZY pile of samples....far out...

[Guerzarro]

Un Jardin Apres le Mousson! Melon + cucumber sounds like my kind of fragrance! Glad you're back Teresa.

[ariscotm]

@Guerzarro Yeah, check it out! It has a lovely woodsiness that I find really addictive.

[ariscotm]

@Guerzarro Mousson is next! :)

[Guerzarro]

@ariscotm Aawww yeah! Looking forward to it.

[pigasus27]

I'd like to hear your thoughts on Un Jardin après la Mousson. Cantaloupe. If you got some Hermessence samples, I'd like to hear your thoughts on Ambre Narguilé. Dried fruits, honey, spices, amber and tobacco. It's SO nice! And I typically hate sweet fragrances. Thumbs up!

[ariscotm]

@pigasus27 Mmm...sounds delicious. I'll talk about La Mousson really soon. :)

[ariscotm]

@pigasus27 Mousson is next! :)

[robes08]

Steak ??? lol .. as far as reviews go I would like to hear your take on all your bond samplers perhaps it might help me choose my next bottle from them since I want to buy so many of them and not sure which one to get next... take care teresa

[ariscotm]

@robes08 Haha, yes. Steak. :)

[wemf2]

Hey! I've never heard of the Juliette got a gun fragrances. Would be great to hear what they are like. Thanks!

[ariscotm]

@wemf2 KatiePuckrik has reviews on them, but I'll talk about them, too. They're really lovely. Feminine and rosy for sure, though.

[biggan47]

If you have the fragrance from Korres that is called Pepper, Jasmine, Gaiac wood oil, Passion fruit I would love to hear what you think of it. I just got a sample of it and I REALLY like it!

[ariscotm]

@biggan47 I didn't know Korres had fragrance. Do they stock it at Sephora?

[biggan47]

@ariscotm I don't know where you can find it in US, I live in Sweden and I can get it here. I know you can order samples from The Perfumed Court. I just love the gaiac wood in it. If you are interested to read about it try to google, I found an article on "confessions of a perfume nerd"

[ariscotm]

@biggan47 Right on. Thanks! :)

[superped2]

Damn hella samples i feel ya on not knowing where to start on samples i have so damn many now has to be least 100 lol

Have great 4th buddy light off sum fireworks lol

[ariscotm]

@superped2 Haha, thanks, Sean!

[r0bdigz]

I want you to review whatever you want to review. I like to hear you talk about fragrances so you could review Fcuk for all i care. I do prefer Bond so maybe start there.

[ariscotm]

@r0bdigz Haha, you're so sweet. I'll review Fcuk as my favorite "combat" scent, then.

[Kerosenetrewthe]

Story sucks, I could have told you that! hahaha

Mmm, steak. Add some bacon and you'll be soooo delicious!

Do you have the Hamptons by Bond? Would love to see a review of that one.

[ariscotm]

@Kerosenetrewthe No, I don't. Lame. :(

[NavajoJoe66]

I would love for you to review Dune (for women) and Fahrenheit :)

[ariscotm]

@NavajoJoe66 I don't have Dune for women, but I'll put Fahrenheit on my list.

[WarmProp]

Tobacco. Got any? I'm waiting for Havana Vanille sample to arrive, but if you have any I'd like to hear about them.

[ariscotm]

@WarmProp Chergui has tobacco (I already reviewed that). I also have a sample of Cuba by Czech and Speake. I used to have a sample of Havana by Aramis (LOVE), but I swapped it. I'll put Cuba on the list. :)

[Pfalzgreven]

'I don't wanna smell like ... beef!'

LOOOL, don't be such a pussy! ;)

[ariscotm]

@Pfalzgreven Haha, I'm definitely a beef lover...but I myself...am not beefy. :)

[bpwool]

Hey Teresa,

I just posted a topic on basenotes about how Paul Smith Extreme smells like Peppercorn

Steak on you. I wonder if anyone else has a similar opinion? I don't think I ever had a meat association with a fragrance before. I do remember someone on basenotes saying how a certain cologne smelled like Slim Jims, but other than that...

[ariscotm]

@bpwool Haha, excellent. I'll go check out that thread. 

[GhostDog007]

Paul Smith Story is the type of fragrance that I would only spray on clothes. I managed to get a bottle for dirt cheap at Marshalls but soon grew tired of it.

[ariscotm]

@GhostDog007 Why on clothes?

[GhostDog007]

@ariscotm Something as fleeting on the skin as Paul Smith Story lasts and projects well on clothes.

[ariscotm]

@GhostDog007 Got ya. I'll try that some time (although, some fragrances heavy on the oils like Fracas and Chinatown will stain them, but in the name of good smell, who cares!?!)

[spanthrax]

where do you get your samples? would love to see some bond reviews

[ariscotm]

@spanthrax Hey there! I got the Bond samples from a Bond counter in Saks Fifth Avenue. Most of my other samples I've gotten from swaps or theperfumedcourt, lucky scent, or aedes de venustas.

[bpwool]

Ahhhh, Teresa, sorry that you didn't care for Paul Smith Extreme. I really like it myself. But then again, I don't think I'd rush out and buy a bottle of Avignon LOL. I like how Marc

describes Extreme as a piece of driftwood washing on shore. But Peppercorn Steak?!

I hope I didn't send you my steak rub sampler by mistake! I'd still love to hear your opinion on Zegna Colonia.

[ariscotm]

@bpwool Got it. Zegna's on the list! :)

[TedsterAZ]

Review them all!!

[ariscotm]

@TedsterAZ hahah! i'll try!

[kapkone]

I would love to hear your response to Czech and Speake Oxford and Cambridge, also no 88.

From Tauer, I'm interested in Incense Rose and Incense extreme (I heard it isn't that 'extreme')

[ariscotm]

@kapkone On the list! I have both of those Tauer's actually. I'll talk about them for sure. Incense Rose is WAYYY more extreme than Incense Extreme. WAY.
