Body Shop used to make a cucumber refresher like a skin tonic that was nice. A passion tea and lemon scent, Id be in heaven. Slowly the petitgrain and neroli slink on through, but by this time most of perfume has gone from my skin. Mandragore, as mentioned, is also terrific. Very late. ITA about the 1984 referencepossibly why I was never very tempted! Thanks, M! Oddly, though, I kept smelling that jalapeno accord that figures more prominently in LAP Piment Brulant. I love my vintage linen hankies! The notes sound nice, but I just cant pay $100 or more for an edcmy skin eats fragrance anyway, and edc is really fleeting on me. I havent smelled the new Cologne yet, and I am very curious. Well barely reach 70F today on the gray California coast. I have a split of Oranges and Lemons and have really been enjoying it this summer. All I have not seen them eitherwish I had a good apothecary-type drugstore near me. From it, I get mostly bergamot, a sort of sea spray accord (but not in an Acque di Gio kind of way), black currant and jasmine. Apparently HEELEY knows me all too well. You better really love orangebecause these "bells" are very orange and loud! mltheyre more tempting now that they come in 125. Ive never seen them in an Australian retail store anywhwere else. For the moment I have raked up all the leftover bottles from various shopss stocks, and now Im busy persuading some relations that they need to have a look at Paris before long. $148 would be 117 euros, but dont know if that is in fact what it costs overseas. For me, there is nothing like coming home on a hot day and splash some Eau dOrange Verte (which was very sensibly prized untill they came up with the new bottles).

So is it a little more durable then? I bought it unsniffed I was just too curious and I went back to buy a second bottle the next day. But awesome for hot weather! reminds me a great deal of Serge Lutens Fleurs d'Citronnier. But havent bought either of them, although Eau de Gentiane Blanche seems to be calling my name rather loudly and insistently. Also, if Im remembering correctly (need to go hunt), Silences is like a poor (wo)mans No. I also love Fath Green Water, and Ferre Gieffeffe, although Im not sure if they qualify as colognes but they wear well in this kind of weather.

Yes, I too found the Imperiale a bit flat after it got through the opening, but still nice. Oranges And Lemons Say The Bells Of St. Clements. This sounds really nice although the price is some kind of a drawback for a cologne which you should be able to bathe in. Crisp citrus opening heavy in the bitter range of the fruit that really dominates for an hour. Yup, the price is a drawback, but I like it more than any of the other colognes mentioned. That's poor performance in my book, especially for the money this fragrance costs. The Friction is lovely and Green. Family portraits and such LOL. Still, Id love a bottle to keep refreshing. Of course, theyre not solely passion fruit tea scents, but have the notes listed. An so I did. Its hard to wear any perfume todayso Im not!

Im looking forward to the family reunion, and the beach, the island (LBI) and finally some summer weather. Even up here in the wild mountains of PA our overnight temp was 77 degrees!! The Spanish classic cologne Alvarez Gmez Concentrada is one of my favourites, and it lasts more than the average colognes. Early Gray moves in. This Heeley sounds lovely, except the price. I was at the mall this weekend and saw that in the 75% off bin should have grabbed one! Guess it *is* a detail of that very same stained glass window in the Klner Dom, then. I cant say I miss the humidity! And I can use plenty without offending.

Sweeter than the average neroli fragrance, but it does smell awesome to me. Citrus, I blush to admit, bores me, and every single time I put on something even vaguely cologney, I find myself waiting impatiently for it to wear off so I can wear something I enjoy.

The closest thing I have in terms of scent is Guerlains Philtre dAmour, which is fairly citrusy with the interesting twist of verbena and myrtle. Ill have to do a real test one day!

Meanwhile the bottle is in the cupboard and has become my absolute favourite. It was *only* about 94 here. Oh, I have to go and smell them did I mention that Im from Cologne / Germany, birthtown of 4711? Its been in the upper 90s here for five weeks, so I can attest that the bit of amber and vanilla in the dry down is not cloying.

It was a bargain, too, since I managed to snap up a bottle on ebay for less than half the price a few months ago.

I really love the cologne category.

My favorites would be th pour une t and leau dhadrien, though I also like Tom fords neroli portofino.

And I agree that Pamplemousse Rose is maybe even shorter-lived.

Here in Italy its not to be had for love or money, and the last 100 ml I could lay hands on was 73 euros, which is quite a lot for a cologne that lasts 15 minutes flat. You can email Guerlain, but all they do is list the stores in your city, which you already know about.

I might order a sample of this, but I really do have trouble with citrus. I love colognes and own plenty. Oh! I realized as I started to comment that I really dont have a proper cologne.

Great summer scent. Im chiming in as no-one has mentioned any of my favourites (apart from Eau de Guerlain). Ill also mention that I like several of the Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo series, several of which arent citrus based. And sounds like the East Coast will still be plenty hot when you get here! There seem to be SO many colognes, dont there? If I was planning to blow a wad of cash on a cologne, I'd buy the 200 ml vat of Chanel's Eau de Cologne ($210), but of course you can also find many wonderful (and similar) things for less: Diptyque's L'Eau de Neroli (not my favorite of their colognes, but the closest in smell to the Heeley) is $98 for 100 ml, Guerlain's Eau de Guerlain is $96 for 100 ml.

Now Im so curious about that Bergamotto Marino. Not sure if my old favorites, TDC Bergamote and Eau de Cartier, quite fall into this category, but they are summer staples for me. (So I went to TPC, as any sensible person does because there they DO sell the stars and the moon).
