(When one offers an opinion it is usually redundant to say IMO because that is obviously what it is. But it doesn't hurt to add it in if it will help forestall responses like ZZ's. In this case that didn't work. IMO.) Who said I was quoting RebelClue?

I was referring to the original post where nsamadi said "There has been some recent talk about it and some people say it's the best scent ever created. I was a little iffy to buy cuz I heard its along the lines of BdP, New York, etc.....All nice scents if I was a little older, but I wanted to try it anyways because of the talk.".

Give me some credit, I am smarter than that

Answer:
IMO this A/S spray is every bit as good as the edt...on my skin it lasts ALL DAY...it is a bit lighter but I dig it.

While Patou is one of the finest men's fragrances I've ever smelled, there are many more that I haven't smelled. I think in order to make such a definitive remark like "It's the best men's fragrance ever created" not only would you have had to smell every creation before Patou pH, but every one since as well.

I've read poor reviews about Clive Christian fragrances (I suspect there might be a hint of sour-grapes in so some of those reviews), but I've never tried it, so how would I know if it is or isn't the "best". It's all rather subjective.

Answer:
Well i have been extremely lucky to be able to acquire a few bottles of Patou ph 60ml EDT splash recently... :-)
I must say that the quality of the bottle, not to mention the cap has a great feel to it....it certainly reeks of elegance....the only downside is that you dont have the heart to invert this bottle to splash it...it is just too too precious to run the risk of dropping this extremely precious juice....i remember my quest for it began after my fellow basenoter 'Eluard' described it as 'nectar of the gods'...Well unfortunately i have to wait for an atomiser to be delivered to me that i purchased later on to be able to wear ' the best scent ever created' by many members here...cant wait to get the feel of it....at the moment i have just sniffed it enough times....but its like doing a lot of injustice to Patou by judging it by sniffing it....sniffing doesnt reveal nothing bout the true nature of a fragrance....would post my feelings for it sooon......

Thanks for getting it, Eluard.
I think it's evident that when I refer to Patou as my favorite fragrance ever, it's a given that I haven't smelled every fragrace ever created...I doubt many have. So for the nitpickers, I'll clarify my opinion as being "the best fragrance I have ever smelled, IMO."
Satisfied?

Answer:
Er...umm...a...I didn't quote you clueless, but I'm sorry to have struck a nerve

Answer:
Hey Joe, not trying to flame ya...I just think it goes without saying that when one of the countless threads gets started entitled "Your Favorite," or "Your Top Ten," or "Your Top Five," or "What Scent Can You Not Live Without," etc., etc., etc--threads whose basic purpose are all the same--NAME YOUR FAVORITE SCENT--it's a given that people respond with the common understanding that they are naming only scents that they are familiar with, with no expectation from anyone that the posters have personally smelled every scent ever made. Obviously they are making their judgement on their own experience, no matter how limited or expansive.

Hence when I name Patou as the best ever...(IMO!!!!)...the same common sense applies.
I am very passionate about this scent and sometimes it spills over. No offense intended whatsover and hope none taken.
I'm a lover, not a fighter!

The 90ml bottle allowed you to un-screw the vaporiser and refill from the splash bottles.
