Men's Fragrances

[casem]

Has anyone experienced adverse reactions from fragrance on clothes? I never spray directly, but my Rick mohair turtle neck has taken on some fragrance due to the high neck. I've read you should keep fragrance off knits to prolong their life, but I don't want to wash such a delicate knit any more than I need to (only worn it a couple times, has no other smells). Am I good to wait awhile before I wash it or should I wash it soon to avoid any deterioration from the fragrance?

In other news, tried CDG Dot and it's a complete snoozer. Vaguely synthetic floral in the CDG style but VERY light and unremarkable.

The other day I was thinking about what ever happened with the Rick Owens fragrance Francis Kurkdjian supposedly worked on. From this interview with the perfumer it looks like, well, it was Rick Owens' fragrance:

Sounds like he decided to just keep it for personal use and to diffuse in his stores. From the sounds of the description it doesn't come across as a potential big commercial success.

[Shifts]

Exactly. But it also sounds like some of our members has, unknowingly, smelled it.

Until they turned off the diffusers in the stores because everyone was getting sick from it. ( sorry, typed before reading the article )

I spray perfume on various knits - including mohair and cashmere, all the time and I don't think it damaged them. Why would perfume be damaging to knits anyway? Due to the alcohol?


And I was really looking forward to give the Rick perfume a proper testing. I smelled it once on a cloth strip that came with some magazine years ago and it was certainly intriguing.

Has anybody tried the new Boris fragrance?

Has anybody tried the new Boris fragrance?

I have. It's great! I obviously don't know how to describe it, nor do I have a sample. It'd be great for winter, there is something earthy and strong about it. Exactly what you'd expect from BBS. Did you glean it from our Instagram?

New favorites - Terre Noir and Graphite from Mad et Len. Just phenomenal in the balance they achieve.

I was told at the Boris store that it was designed to mimic the smell of horse leather.

Yep, caught it this morning on Instagram. Do you know when it will be released?

I was told at the Boris store that it was designed to mimic the smell of horse leather.

So it's more or less the same as was used with his Mad et Len collaboration?

[eleves]

Interested in hearing more about BBS fragrance as well! Any word on pricing and release?

Also, does anyone have experience with meo fusciuni fragrances? Do any shops carry them in NY or online?
