SS4M - might as well go out with a bang ....

Looks like a great time! Certainly a better one than we had haha!

I would like a bottle of Polar Bear Lovers thank you!

Neat labels! Very seasonal!

This is not advertised as the "work friendly" scent of the set but it could certainly be less the SWS - which of course you could layer with this. This is a very good masculine scent - pretty much as described above. On my skin it is very "woody" - the cedar, balsam and sandalwood is out front. I am not sure I get the earth note. The water accord is far back there. Please do not take the short description as a negative. The scent is very straightforward and very masculine, but "soft" enough you can wear it to work. You cannot go wrong with this scent. Try it.

This is a good scent but one where my skin amps the vanilla. Now this is a very light vanilla on my skin - certainly a very work friendly light scent - but the majority of what hits my nose is the light vanilla. I should ask my wife if she smells the rest of the ingredients. I really like the Swimming with Sharks work pheromone mix so this is a winner for me.

This is a great scent, hands down. I will say that there is a lot that could have gone wrong with this scent on my skin. I amp vanilla and tobacco and coffee notes really stand out to my nose. That being said, once again Mara has combined everything in just the right proportions such that no one note leaps out to my nose. Instead, everything seems to blend in well together to create a slightly deep scent that to me is pretty masculine. I am glad the ladies like it, even on their skin, but it would not register as overly feminine or even really unisex to me. It might smell good on a woman - maybe I will have to sweet talk the Mrs. into giving it a try. When this goes on wet, the vanilla comes across the strongest. But it is a deeper vanilla, not a foody vanilla, so you do not smell like a vanilla candle. But the darker scent of the resins is right behind it with maybe just a touch of the tobacco. Once it dries down, I get just a light touch of "soapy" but on my skin it is counterbalanced by the black vanilla, so just as you register the soapy, the black vanilla is right there with it making you wonder if you really smell the soapy. Mostly it is the resins blending in with the tobacco and coffee that form a very nice "light" darker background. I really only catch the woodsmoke maybe on the far edges - I have to really focus to try to pull that out of the crowd as for the most part, it blends right in. This is my initial take. I will update as I wear it longer & more.

Yes exactly. But to be honest, I don't know how I am going to stay even slightly abreast of "current" once my kids get too old haha!

Samples of all the men's/unisex scents plus maybe the one PE.

Welcome to the forum!

Wow - there are a lot of Men's/Unisex scents this month! Thank you, PM!

The two scents are not necessarily similar but from the same set - give The Sand Box a try.

Hope the meds are working!

It looks fantastic - you put so much effort into each month I am glad the VDBA recognized you! But I am especially glad that locals appreciate your shop.

Haha - I bet you aren't the only ones!

Very cool retro labels! I love the cat in Sweet and Medium & Winner are perfect. The only problem I see is that the The Tattooed Lady label looks off-balance - not sure - but I think the "phero enhanced fragrance" line should have been a little lower for the label to look right ...

Pennywise the Clown & The Lost Boys haha?!?!

Congrats!! To paraphrase the song, save a unicorn, ...

Life is funny - I decided to wear this today and this popped up haha!

Incredible scent.

Pounce, Snoopy! Pounce!

Snoop is right. Don't look for the pheromones working. Be yourself and have a good time. Remember: The pheromones will grease the skids for you but it is still up to you to be that gentleman. They don't make women fall out of the sky into your lap.

I will tell you that most women love the smell of Homme. Don't be surprised if she tells you that you smell "yummy" which seems to be the general consensus haha! SS4M is a good sexy blend - not too strong but definitely sends the "sexy" message. My advice would be to go with a couple sprays for the first date. Like the PM said, go with a couple sprays to the body. Let it dry down before you put clothes on. I would not go with more than 3 sprays for a variety of reasons. But the bottom line is that SS4M is a good blend and it is in a good ratio in the cologne. Read body language and take your cues.

Wooo!

I am not much on tequila unless it is part of a drink. I did one win a bottle of tequila for being the sexiest male dancer.
