Question:
Believe it or not.......Terre D'Hermes and Kiehl's Original Musk. I was picking up some stuff at the market and a stranger came up to me and said I smelled so good they wanted to jump my bones. Not sure how one reacts to a comment like that. I just said "thanks, I guess" and walked away.

Answer:
I just tried the opium-b*man combo...it smells like caramail and 3 days without deodorant so far...of course it's still the top notes of rhubard and incense (the top not I get from opium)...

Answer:
madhanky-
sorry you don't like the combo so far. i really love b*men on me, the opium gives it that oriental spicyness that b*men has none of. im curious if you like b*men or just happened to have it in your wardrobe.
best, AceyMan

Answer:
I dunno, this is one odd combo. The first sniff I get caramail apple smell, and then I get hit with a smell that knocks the wind out of me and makes me want to peel my skin the other way. Interesting, but not sure I like it.
B*men is the first fragrance I ever bought. I loved the spicy middle but I don't smell it so much anymore I think something's wrong with my wrists, cause when I sprayed it on the inside of my elbows I got the old b*men smell I loved back....maybe unadvertant layering due to daily perfume use?

Answer:
The only layering I do is actually recommended : Norma Kamali Perfume layered with Norma Kamali Incense. Some days, use 50/50 ratio, and others 75 incense and 25 NK perfume. Awesome! I also like layering Andy Tauer's L'Air du Desert Marocain with the NK Incense.

Answer:
I never layered. I enjoy most of what I have as is. Touching a holy grail like Passage D would make me shiver...
But I got this old Bogart One Man Show which is exactly what the name says, butch, bone dry and woody-smokey. Just too much for me. I am not easily overpowered. Polo is an Abercombie boy, Bandit a sweet little girl in comparison to this! Any advice how I could cheer this one up a bit? Maybe dilute in 4711 at 1:99 ??

Answer:
For those with deep pockets, try out Angeliques sous La Pluie and Bigarade Concentree, I just had the opportunity to try that today, and they complimented each other's poor longevity, so I actually got about 5 hours out of them today.
