Thanks to this thread, I should have samples of the sandalwood, spanish leather, bay rum, and west indian limes on the way. The response said that they are running low on samples, but if they are in stock, they will send them out soon.

I really like the Spanish Leather sample I received.

Stupid question time. How does one "splash" a cologne or edt? (Mandom style?) I'd imagine it would be easy to overdo it. I'm guessing the stopper is used to apply a drop? If the choice is an atomizer or 50 more ml of product, I'll take the 50ml. I'll find a way to get it on me without the atomizer.

Thanks,

i just treat it like an aftershave. I probably overdo it, but no one around me has complained!

somtimes I don't rub my hands together though--i will just shake into my cupped hands, and apply to the neck/wrist, etc. other times i experiment with rubbing hands together and then applying. both work fine--the rubbing hands together seems to generate more uniform application, but then you aren't putting on nearly as much as aftershave so it's probably unnecessary.

Thanks. That makes sense, as long as I only use a little. Although, it may be more difficult to overdoes with an EdT like Eucris. I'll just have to experiment with the amount when I get a splash bottle (like Eucris).

Yeah, with expensive juice like Eucris you definitely don't want to waste any!

I'm having a hard time justifying it, but I found a good deal on a 100ml bottle...

p.s. - I know an AD when I see one.

I got a good deal on mine too--from Mankind UK. Low shipping costs to the states and no VAT--worked out to about $47/28 pounds or so

That's where I saw it too. I wish they had some others at that price.
