Exactly. Always a problem with best selling scents. It could have gone the opposite just as easily though.
I know Turin is a well-regarded critic, but his is just another nose, no matter how well developed.
One of the reasons I now use BR and BB almosat exclusively, none of her other BF's were real men

Huh...my guess is, then, my ex will never tolerate SMN Imperial Lavender on anyone else she dates. Ten to one that won't be a problem for her anyway.
Oh yes...I wouldn't base any choices on his word, but he is funny, interesting and does oft give me a direction to look. He has indeed a great nose for dissecting a scent, but the wearing of any of them is YMMV.
He says Antaeus would be better on women too, and I don't get that either.
Weird, I thought the same thing in Barney's a while ago. I can definitely see it on the right girl.
Bought the gift set which has a little of everything. It's my wifes favorite so if she's happy I'm happy.
I was always wondering why every smoker i know wears the stuff.
Me too preferably the only thing

If a scent is the only thing a woman is wearing, it could be just about anything including Lilac Vegetal now, couldn't it?
I bought and used Cool Water in 2002.
My wife got me some samples of the T&H frags this week and to my untrained nose, I think Freshman is in the same league.
Clubman is also familiar to a scent I used in the past. Maybe Versace Versus?

That would have to be one very attractive woman.......
Who was it who would wear onyl Chanel No.5 to bed? Monroe? CN5 smells like damp flannels to me though, horrid stuff..... :-(

Untrained or not, your nose is on the right track. T&H reformulated Freshman, along with Clubman and Spanish Leather, early last decade, and took them from being classics in the Trumper league to much more modern fare, reminiscent of a lot of department-store type scents.

+1 here, mate. I really like the smell but I've never gotten to wear it. Every girl I've ever dated has said the same thing. It reminds her of her ex (who was invariable a prat), so she won't let me wear it.
Bought a bottle once, despite those proscriptions. It mysteriously disappeared that same night, never to be seen again.
There was a Green Irish Tweed vs Cool Water poll last year on basenotes, where the majority of members openly despise Creed. The Creed was preferred 3 to 1. That says a heck of alot more than Luca Turin's preference, a known Creed critic.
I would endure its damp flannel smell for someone Monroe-esque
Might sound weird, but I actually don't mind CN5 anyway.
And come to think of it, I wonder how men's Cool Water would work on a lady . . .
I used to wear CW. But now I wear whatever my wife buys for me.
