Serge Lutens
The Different Companay (perfumer Jean Claude Ellena's firm - he is the in house perfumer for Hermes)

in designer perfumes, respected ones are
Guerlain - Heritage, Habit Rouge, L'Instant, Bois d'armenie (Shoppers stop in malad and juhu stocks these)

DSQUARED - Rocky mountain WOOD is an amazing perfume

Woody and very masculine

For me it's the German "TABAC"

Oh, thanks for reminding me of another oldie. The last time I bought one (2008 maybe?), it didn't smell as good as it did during my childhood days. Maybe I got a bad one? Or maybe it's just nostalgia clouding my memory, I dunno...

bought a Quorom from

www.perfumes2order.com (Indian website, they are safe to order from, feel free to place orders with them to give them some business, they're good people)

Great buy for the price if you bought it at the offer price. i was verrry tempted but I decided against it because I had a bottle some 3 years ago. Musn't succumb to temptation. Musn't. Famous last words

Agree with you it is quiet good,


Was in Dubai duty free during a transit, tried the much hyped 'Creed Aventus' tester it was good, but don't think it is worth the price (AED 900 ). Settled for Tom Ford Noir, I am happy it is quiet nice.

I was gifted a Davidoff cool water knockoff when I was in college and I loved it.
Finally got around to be able to afford the real deal, Picked up ADG and Issey Miyake as well based on online reviews. Not too fond of the Issey Miyake, and ADG I use now and then, but Cool water remains my favourite.

I once purchased from abroad an after shave lotion named Jaipur by Boucheron. Awesome fragrance and beats any available brand in India.
