A Under-rated Fine Fragrance
by benzippoNew Member
Pros: Long lasting power and a great fragrance composition that have its own identity.
Cons: Near impossible to buy in major department stores.

Try the discount stores.
A greatly under-rated and under-appreciated perfume as it is in fact a very good fragrance composition.Should it be from the House of Dior, Chanel or Guerlain, this will sure be much much more popular than what it is now in its present sad state ...

Opium By Ysl 3.3oz 100ml Eau De Toilette Sp
A Wonderful Experience That Lasts
by benzippoNew Member
Pros: A fantastic creation that has passed the test of time and remained a true Icon!
Cons:

An indulgence which is getting costlier by the day.

Stains light colored fabrics.


The day I got hold of my first bottle of Opium (EDT Spray) where they have updated and improved the packaging of the bottle and the spray as the original version's spray nozzle was built into the cap itself (as I remembered, that was the trend of the ...

Axe Deodorant Body Spray - Touch 4oz
AXE induces Touch
by lllovemakeup
Pros: Smells incredible and expensive, but is inexpensive
Cons: None.
During one of my trips to my local Big Lots, I saw this product for $3 for 4 oz. of product. (I now buy it at Wal-Mart for about $4.50 since it's all gone at Big Lots. I've seen it online comparably priced.) I was curious as to how Axe Deodorant ...

Jean Paul Gaultier 4.2 Spray by Jean Paul Gaultier for Men
Wonderful smell, justified price, free giggle with purchase...
by maleficent36
Pros: Smells equally as great sprayed in air or on paper as it does on.
Cons: Eye contact with the "lower portion" of bottle may cause spontaneous immature reactions. ;)
I bought this for my husband for his birthday this past summer. I have always loved the Jean Paul Gaultier womens' line, but rarely spring that sort of money on perfume for myself. These are more along the line of holiday gift. I'd gotten a mailing ...

Citizen Eco Drive Perpetual Calendar BL5280 52E Gents Watch
Powered by light, to cool!!
by hitrack
Pros: Black and orange look awesome together, typical cool divers look.
Cons: No day read out, crystal is not recessed into watch so it may scratch easy.
With so many watch choices it comes down to just pick one and go with it. I know I wanted a fully analog watch, since I've never had one before, and not a cheap junkie one. Well close to $400 was the most I was willing to spend. The band is stainless ...

Curve by Liz Claiborne 4.2oz Cologne Spray for Men
Cheap and reliable scent that always works.
by wrldtravler
Pros: Sexy smell. Inexpensive. Lasts Long. 4.2 oz. vs. 3.4 oz.
Cons: Smells different on everyone.
I am a member of basenotes and now smell this which are blogs about cologne. I have worn colognes like Creed, which costs $200 a bottle, so I know a thing or two about cologne. What I can say about Curve is that you can get this for $19 at TJ Maxx and in ...

Stonestreet Alexander Merlot 2003
Lacks Fruit and Complexity, A Passable Merlot
by SimianFox
Pros: Firm Tannins, Old World Style
Cons: Lacks Complexity, Fruit Notes Very Subtle, Meager Finish
After tasting the Stonestreet 2004 Merlot last week, and being blown away, I decided to try the 2003 vintage expecting a superior, if not comparable performance. Besides, the 2003 Merlot has the advantage over its sister of enjoying an extra year of ...

Wild Horse Vineyard Chardonnay 2006 2006 750ml
Mild, Lightly Acidic Charnonnay, You Can Find Better Value Elsewhere
by SimianFox
Pros: Mild, Light Acids, Floral Flavors, Clean Finish
Cons: Lack Fruitiness That California Chardonnays Are Known For
I tasted the 2006 Wild Horse Chardonnay, Central Coast, CA this weekend with a small gathering of friends. My impression is that this is mild and very restrained chardonnay that lacks fruit and boldness and offers moderate value for the price. First ...

Stonestreet Merlot 2004 750ml
Deep and Concetrated - Not Your Typical Merlot
by SimianFox
Pros: Concentrated, Nice Fruit, Good Finish, Great Price
Cons: Slighly Lacks Complexity
I picked up a bottle of Stonestreet Merlot 2004 at Ralphs on sale for $15.00. I was pleasantly surprised. This is a very deep and slightly tannic merlot with hits of red cherry, raspberry, and a bit of chocolate and coffee at the finish. In many respect ...

Pros: A nice tasting wine cooler, very refreshing

Red Bicyclette Merlot 750ml
Nothing snobby about this French wine: Red Bicyclette Merlot
by pilarzmom
Pros: Smooth drinkable red wine
Cons: synthetic cork, priced a little high for an everyday red
French wine has always been a little bit intimidating for me, not to mention typically beyond my price range. However, I took note of some colorful displays of a wine label called Red Bicyclette and decided to push past my French wine phobia. What ...
