    Oh man, last fashion week I picked up 100 mls bottles of Profumum Olibanum and Santalum in Italy (the closest I've found to warmed Daihatsu Mysore Sandalwood Chips - CITES compliant, btdubs.)

    It was much less there than to buy on Lucky Scent.

    Love.

      Jogu,

      You know what is amazing and reasonably priced for scenting a room? Decent quality Japanese incense. I recommend Kyukyodo - Sho Ran Koh (laughing orchid). It's the only thing they'll burn in the imperial palace in Kyoto - and no, I don't think this claim is on the low end of the marketing scale in the way Creed, who bombards celebs with Creed in goodie bags, is. I have some Sho Ran Koh if you want to smell it - it is heavenly.

      Others I think you'll like is Minioren Fu-in Sandalwood or Aloeswood. I can also show you what you need to buy to lightly heat up Daihatsu Sandalwood chips, which is the dreamiest scent *in the world.* If there are other Japanese incense fans out there, or agarwood/oud lovers...I'll start a thread.

      I've never had much with atomizers. I occasionally spray Santa Maria Novella Rose Water into my sheets when ironing or just into the air. Otherwise, I use it as a facial tonic - it is truly one of the best tonics out there...

            I ordered a bottle as soon as it became available (that copy was just too damn tempting) and I am so glad I did. To me it smelled almost a bit mouldy at first, like flowers rotting somewhere. So gorgeous.

              When you decide you hate it I will give you $5 for it.

                And the bonus is one of their salespeople, Alejandro, is a RO fiend, a member of SZ and a long lost Fashion Spot refugee whom I remember very well from the olden days!

                Tried and very much liked Amouage Memoir. Yum.

                Thank you Faust, and yes its been a long time.

                Im glad you enjoyed Memoir, and as of everybody else here, im here to help with your fragrance and mens grooming concerns.

                      I really liked Jurassic Flower.

                      Fall scents - Shaal Nur by Etro; Sycomore by Chanel; Dia Man by Amouge. those are the ones I've been wearing lately.

                        I went to Min today and was very pleased. Great service, good selection, great music and they had my Japanese razor blades. Thanks Faust.

                          Better yet, buy my Jil Sander PH, still have 90% of the bottle left!
