Question:
It seems as if, in preparation for warmer weather, I am shaping up my inventory of colognes/splashes.
I've got the three Comme de Garcons colognes (in decants) on their way and I'm also planning on buying decants of the three Dior colognes (since I can't afford a full bottle of these beauties...) I'm also anticipating getting the Marc Jacobs splashes.
I've tried (and will probably buy) Ivy, it's lovely. But spring beckons, and I think I'll prefer a lighter scent.
Has anyone smelled the 2 new ones that just got released last week, Orange and Cucumber?
Thoughts/comments?
p.s. - I really want Cucumber to smell good...I love cucumber notes & they're so rare in scents, in my opinion.

Answer:
Give Fresh - Cucumber Baie a try. Very nice scent. Had it and used 3/4 of a bottle, then my sister begged me for the rest.

Answer:
Thanks for the Fresh tip - I had no idea the Fresh line had so many scents...and I was just at an apothecary store tonight that carried the line, I might've skimmed right past this one...
I also noticed today on the Demeter site, that they have Cucumber too (what scent DON'T they have, is my question) but the Demeter's tend to disappear oh so quickly, I'm afraid to try it and be disappointed.

Originally Posted by mikeperez23 I really want Cucumber to smell good...I love cucumber notes & they're so rare in scents I'm with you 100% on this. Cucumber works so well in scented soaps -- pretty common in that form -- but for some reason (longevity, maybe) it's hard to find a good cologne based on it. I'll have to try the Fresh scent. I'll skip the Demeter because of the longevity problems you mention...

Answer:
OK, I smelled the Cucumber & Orange splashes last night at Nordstrom's.
Didn't buy either - they just didn't 'move me' like the Ivy did. The Orange is very nice but I was drawn to it's 'peach' notes (I smelled peach!) not it's orange notes...and frankly I have so many scents whose orange notes are just fine with me, so I don't really need ANOTHER orange scent.
Maybe I'll buy a decant of the Cucumber in the future, but not a whole 10 ouncer!

Answer:
I will add Aramis -Surface as a good Cucumber frag also. You can find it at Perfumebay.com

Thanks for tip - I have NEVER EVEN HEARD OF Aramis Surface. Will check it out.

Answer:
Looks like they are out of Surface at Perfumebay.com, it may be a discontinued scent.
lol ^ I am not really an expert on cucumbers, I just point out where they are and others can try them.
