You're welcome, Bill, and good point about the Odori Tabacco, Tim IS supposed to send his bottle to me! But Tim keeps suggesting that there was not a committment, or even as much as an offer, on his part, as if it might have been just my over-active imagination, or some crazed frag AD induced unfounded expectation on my part, which of course is, well, maybe it's true, but...but....
I like it quite a bit. It's not a really strong scent on me and it doesn't last super long but to me it smells very straight forward and clean. I tried SCS "Very V" quite a while ago, this kind of reminds me of that only lighter, crisper, cleaner.
It's also possibly the least expensive frag I have right now. So when you factor that in...not bad at all!
I read all the positive reviews (no negatives on BN) so I bought a bottle a few months back and I do not care for it at all. The drydown was almost bearable, but the opening totally killed it for me. I had a similar experience with the Arco shaving stick. A lot of folks rave about Arco, but I cannot stand the stuff. I wonder if Malizia and Arco have some common notes which do not agree with me? Do you by chance enjoy Arco also?
Accords: woody, warm spicy, balmy, citrus, vanilla
Top: mandarin, bergamot, cardamom
Middle: patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla
Base: vetiver, neroli, orange blossom, saffron, suede
Which one of them in the picture can you see wearing Prada Amber? This frag smells like vanilla soap to me and even though I like most soapy frags, vanilla is apparently not one of them. There are very few frags I like which contain vanilla and even then it must be either a minor background note or completely unoticed because I find vanilla to be a feminie note and mostly powdery. There actually isn't any amber in the notes for this frag, but amber like tonka bean and vanilla are all known for being powdery.

I don't know, Randy. I don't exactly hear Tim stepping up to defend himself on this one. I think his silence is agreement that the Odori should be headed your way!
A fine recommendation from Bill was this one(although don't let him know I said that!
). Whilst I love straight lavender scents in a shaving soap/cream, I would never use such as fragrance. This one starts off as lovely lavender and dries down beautifully. My only regret is I didn't go for the 100ml.A fine recommendation from Bill was this one(although don't let him know I said that!
I'll make sure Bill doesn't find out about what you said, David!
Randy, don't worry, I've got a split for you and one for Josh. They are both made, I just have to get them in the mail!

I am right in the middle with Arko, scent-wise. I don't find it nauseating but I wouldn't walk around bragging about it either
I like the packaging better than anything!I can see not enjoying the opening on this though. I just sprayed one shot and had a good sniff...it's sort of powdery, sweet, citrusy, I think I even smell some cinnamon. Weird. I'm not crazy about the opening but it doesn't last very long on me before it chills out a little and just turns into a soapy (that's the best I can do..not so great with the descriptions yet) clean vetiver.
