My Scent of The Day : Heeley's Cuir Pleine Fleur

Heeley Cuir Pleine Fleur

My Very First Scent of the Day while I am away or shall I say my very first sample of my 100's of samples is another Heeley fragrance. I have been in love with this company since I first discovered Menthe Fraiche. I decided to get samples of the whole line. This one is a leather based fragrance and I must say I am impressed.

All Heeley's are EDP's which make these things really last on my skin and actually project very very well and this one is no slouch. This is a real amazing take on leather, it has obviously a leather note not only that but some floral & some woods (almost like birch ! oh wait it's in the note breakdown well there we go). It projected really well and garnered a compliment almost right away in the morning, since it was pretty warm it was projecting pretty darn well . To me this would be a great cool weather frag but it did it's job in the summer heat. Great overall fragrance, on my Buy,Try or Pass scale this is going onto my BUY list. Beautiful leather scent that can not be missed.

My First Blog Away from Home...from the airport

So as always I get a few bottles from the Duty Free shops out of the country. Usually I go to duty free and buy what's new on the market.

This time I eyed Lacoste Essential Sport (yes it was there), Gucci by Gucci Sport, Hermes Voyage & Burberry Sport. That was basically it as far as new fragrances at this duty free. So slim pickings so I picked.

Gucci By Gucci Sport was an obvious choice for warmer weather. I love the original bottle and this one will look nice beside it. I hear it's the best of the sports so I went with it. Next was Voyage by Hermes. I like this one I did not know it was a refillable bottle and a great travel bottle. So I can't wait to try out Mr. Ellenas's newest fragrance for Hermes.

I was eyeing other older Hermes bottles since they did have the Pamplemousse Rose & the Orange Verte bottles, but decided to go with the two newbies. I am thinking of getting that Burberry Sport also once I get a chance to get my hands on it next.

4 New Niche Bottles : Heeley, Le Labo , Bond No. 9 & Creed

Hey guys I was on BlogTV with JR and the gang and they put me in the mood to purchase. So I went on Luckyscent and got myself some new niche bottles. Let's start with my Heeley bottle. This one is probably the least known on youtube since I have not heard anything on youtube about this brand (cept for the Junkie) . This is the bottle I told you guys was better then Roadster since it is now my favourite mint fragrance and I just finished my sample so it's time for a bottle. It's called Menthe Fraiche which in english is obviously Fresh Mint.

Next I purchased my first Le Labo fragrance called Rose 31, I got this simply because of Bizzy. Bar none I think C&S no. 88 is the best rose for men but this one will be my number 2. Not bad at all .

Back to my Bond no. 9 collection, well let's add another. Bleecker street baby !!! I finally found a 3.3 oz bottle of this. My seller finally came through for me. Beautiful bottle , can't wait to smell it.

And last but not least I have not gotten a Creed bottle in a while. Time to get the lesser known ones , I got Original Santal. I wanted Original Vetiver and this and I decided to get Santal. Hopefully this blind buy is going to go well.

2 New Bottles Purchased : Prada & Tom Ford

My two new bottles. Just purchased Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille & Prada's newest offering simply called Vetiver. First the Prada is a 2010 release and I have liked everything Prada has released so far which means they deserve at least a try from me on the new Vetiver. Tom Ford's tobacco vanille is my first bottle from the exclusive Tom Ford series excluding the TF men & grey vetiver. I do have a sample of this but decided to forgo sampling it before buying.

Back Home !!!

Nothing better then first stepping back onto Canadian soil. How I miss you !!! To all of you it means I am back to youtube and I got a bunch of surprises for all of you , I can't wait to release them. Keep it tuned in , I will be back soon :)

Purchases at Duty Free in Amsterdam

Hey guys just taking a little time here sitting in the airport to let you know what I bought at duty free. So I saw lots of stuff that I really wanted but decided on these two since they are the ones I found being the hardest to find on the net atleast for me back in Canada. First I purchased Guerlain's Homme L'eau , the flanker of the original Guerlain Homme. I tested this one on my skin expecting not really much but a watered down fragrance but it was surprising so I got it.

The 2nd bottles obviously as you can see here is A*men Sunessence. I really did not want to buy this, trust me. The note breakdown looks wrong, the hype is not valid and the bottle is just a cheap remake of ice*men. This screams a rushed product. Sorry for the ones that hype this product. I bought it for a few reasons tho. One I need to get the whole TM line, 2nd to give it a true test to see what I think, this might be my first hate from the TM line. Oh btw if you didn't notice I am coming home. I am in Toronto as I am typing this, so yea vids are coming next week.
