Hello B&B!
One of my resolutions this year was to host one PIF per month for the entire year! And I actually decided to up my game and do 2 PIFs each month. One will be a formal PIF, like this one, and the second will be a drive-by PIF (i.e. something I give out on a whim based on reading someone’s post). So, 2018 is the year I give back.
I’ve been a member of this forum for 8 years (Joined May 2010). In that time, I’ve been on the receiving end of many great PIFs. I’m doing this, in part, to ensure I make good on ‘Paying It Forward’ from all I have received in the past; balancing any PIF debt, I may have accumulated. Also in those 8 years, I have bought a lot of stuff, and at times, multiples of items bought on clearance, or in an effort to get free shipping. As such, my storage area is starting to look like a store front, and it’s time to do a little de-cluttering purge, A.K.A. spring cleaning.
I will try to spread my PIFs around the forum in as many different sub-forums as I can, so be on the lookout for future installments. Some will be big, some will be small, and I will try to throw in a bonus item with every PIF.
My PIFs will run for around two weeks, and hopefully the winner receives their PIF before I start the next one. Please make sure you read and follow ALL rules. This is very, very important!

So what is up for grabs this month?
Colognes! Frags are something that I really haven’t got into much. I also have a hard time figuring out what I like and what smells good on me. I tend to like soft, warm, earthy, and woody scents. So far here is what I like:
Agua Brava – My favorite so far
Pre de Provence No. 63 – I’ve heard they are making a cologne, and I can’t wait!
Saint Charles Shave – New Spice
Saint Charles Shave – Refined
Dolce & Gabana – The One
Gucci Pour Homme
C.O. Bigelow Black
These are not part of the PIF, You’ll see why I have included this list later.
The colognes in this PIF, below, I have either purchased or received in PIFs and just don’t care for any of them, so off they go to a good home.
Details:
Bath & Both Works: Mountain Frost – Full
Halston Z-14 – Full
Avon: Mesmerize – Full
Grey Flannel – Full
Stetson: Untamed – 75%
Acqua Di Parma: Colonia Absolute – 40%
Hobby for Men – Just a few sprays left, but didn’t want to throw it away.
Stetson – Full
British Sterling, Canoe, English Leather – Full sample bottles.
There will also be 2 or 3 bonuses included in this PIF that aren’t pictured.
If you win, and find any of this stuff, not to your liking, please Re-PIF it!
How do you qualify to win this PIF?
*Indicate that you want to be included in this PIF, but do not say “I’m in” (anywhere in your post)…. Be creative.
*Recommend a fragrance for me to try, based on my likes and dislikes above. If you are a frag newbie, no worries, just take a stab at it or recommend an aftershave you think would complement my tastes.
*This Fragrance PIF is open to anyone residing within CONUS. Sorry, but due to shipping restrictions, I can’t sent them internationally.
*If you are Active Duty Military or a Military Veteran you get a bonus entry, just indicate such in your post.
The last day to enter this PIF is 18 May 2018 (Deadpool 2 release date!).
