Has anyone here scored a decent fragrance from one of these places for a reasonable price? Also, I'm assuming they're not carrying knockoffs...is that a safe assumption?
Just stopped by on the way home from work...next time I need to mark down some names and price compare when I get home to some online retailers.
I usually just compare it to amazon while i'm in the store. Amazon is usually the regular retail price. Don't trust the "suggested retail" price on the TJ price tags.
I stopped by there last night...They had great deals on Polo Black and Red, Grey Flannel and several others. There was in particular that I was interested in but didn't get it. It was a large medal tin that looked like a cigar box, and had "Cigar" printed on the top. It was some kind of cologne, but the way that they had the little plastic "shoplifting guard" around it I couldn't really read the label. Anyway, it was only $12.99.
That is Cigar, by Remy Latour and it's a very nice scent that gets a lot of positive reviews. Smells slightly sweet, like Cuba Red, and a little like the inside of a humidor. It's a must try for the price, as it's much better than it's price would indicate.

how's the scent though?
Haven't sprayed any of them, yet. I knew I was forgetting something. I'll test run them this week. I did just check out basenotes, and although there isn't too much feedback on them, they seem to get favorable opinions (especially the Cubano Gold). These are from Victory International, and are made in Italy.
EDIT: Also, the customer reviews for all 4 on fragrancenet.com are pretty impressive.
Yes, this Cubano set is different from the Cigar by Remy Latour, and I agree with the reviewers who like the Cubano Gold. It's somewhat similar to La Male.
how's the scent though?
I buy from TJ Maxx a lot, but it's hit and miss. When I don't need a bottle they have it and when I need a bottle it's gone. Great prices though !!
My perspective is, when they have a bottle, I need it!
