Thierry Mugler Angel*Men EDT

I recently purchased the Angel*Men EDT, and this is the second time I've used it... and I love it! As noted on Basenotes.com, its middle- and bottom-notes are (among others) coffee bean, tonka bean, vanilla, carmel, and chocolate. On my skin, it has a very noticeable fresh-roasted coffee smell which, together with the other components, is quite pleasant. Given its long-lasting lifetime, I rate it pretty high-up there. Angel*Men nicely complements my brand-new QED Mocha Java shaving stick, as well as Salter's Almond shaving cream.

Beverage: Sencha w/ Fresh Chocolate Mint from the garden
Music: Pink Floyd - The Wall (Disc 2)

Ralph Lauren Polo Double Black EdT (Sample)

I really love the Polo Double Black, I will be buying a bottle for sure. The top notes are a little strange, but disapear in about 10 minutes on me, turning into one of the richest and longest lasting (10+ hrs) scents I've come across. I love the woods, tonka bean and whisper of patchouli

Received my woolfat soap from shavingessentials in record time...ordered it on wed. and got it on friday (and they included a nice sample of coral skin food)! This is the most amazing, moisturizing soap I've ever tried! After 2 uses I can't believe how great this soap is!

A quick, 1-pass shave this morning. Pretty much I just wanted an excuse to try out the regular Boosters A/S. I found it to be much better than Aqua Velva because the smell did not turn rancid on me after 5 minutes and the menthol feeling was more pronounced.
