    I got the 120ml bottle from Harrods last Christmas for £160. I went looking for something different but at £160 I couldn't turn that down.

    Don't know where the best place to buy online but I'd go to BT in town if I was purchasing in Ireland.

    Had aqva before - have a bottle of a summer version of it I was given as a gift and it's not as nice.

    A buddy has Bvlgari Man and it's very nice I have to say, mentioned he's had plenty of compliments from it.

    Is the summer one the lighter blue version? I have only ever tried the darker blue bottle.

    Interesting will have to check out Man

    I don't trust online resellers with top of the range fragrances. A lot of resellers sell defective or aged bottles of creed for a lesser price to attract bargain hunters. Although it may appear to be the same product it's not, it's substandard, albeit slightly, and it definitely is noticeable.

    Correct - it's basically a lighter version of the original.

    The original is far better imo but check it out anyway, I keep it in the gym bag anyway

    The price of that creed is outrageous,its daft to pay that much for a little bottle of smell.

    It would depend on what you think you are paying for I suppose.

    This is a long shot.

    For the past few months I've been trying to get my hands on a bottle of Lynx Phoenix Aftershave. I know its no longer produced and I have tried eBay and been unlucky the rare occasions it pops up.

    So - anybody know of any bottles not being used, or on sale, or just lying around? Or any advice as to how I might appropriate a bottle?

    I'm looking for an evening/night time fragrance (something not too OTT though!) I've just finished a bottle of Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier. Any suggestions?

    I'm wearing Armani Code at the moment. It's really nice and not too OTT. :)

    Boots are doing a presentation box with 4 Armani sample jars in it for 30 euro as a gift set at the minute. Good way to get decent sized samples of Armani fragrances to try out without committing big money to something you may not like after a wear or two. ;)


    Here it is...

    I had Armani Code before and I realllly liked it. I'd get a bottle of that again, but I have the 'summer' version at the moment.

    But the 4 small fragances in one box is a good idea, I might get that, thanks.

    Lads, i realise i may come across as a pretentious **** on this thread at times (sorry) but with regard to Armani Code, do you not see a problem with wearing an after shave that chances are every second lad is wearing too?
    It is a grand shmell, but its waaaay too common and that's why i dont wear anything like it.

    I'd have the same issue with paco rabanne one million, everybody wearing it overpowers the senses a little

    And One Million is very similar to Armani Code - so doing the maths im estimating 91.3% of men in the country smell very alike lol :D

    No? I think they are.
    Both very citrusy at the start but Code finishes way better.

    Maybe my nose is smelling something different, but paco seems to be more pungent, fuller & not at all citrusy to me
