Well, this weekend was overcast and cool, the perfect sort of weather to take some leisurely strolls around the city, popping in to any and all convenience stores, dollar stores, and non-large chain pharmacies one comes across.
To that end, I was pretty successful with some great finds. I've attached some photos, but here's the roundup:
100 mL of Ralph Lauren Chaps Cologne: $29.99 CDN - I love this scent, reminiscent of Stetson but more refined. 100 mLs goes for close to 80$ on the 'bay so I'm pleased!
200 mL of Skin Bracer Musk - A very interesting Skin Bracer derivative, a woody musk that settles down into a pleasant powdery scent. Not like AV musk or Old Spice. Today being cool and overcast was a perfect day to try it out - Nice! I got two 100 mL plastic containers, and decanted them into a spare glass vessel I had.
Wilkinson Sword black bowl - I first saw this specimen about two years ago and today decided to see if it was still there. It was. The scent is not like the blue bowl, but it is pleasant, less "modern", and does contain ethylparaben (not sure if the blue bowl does as well, but I thought it was worth noting). I'll use it tomorrow and give an update on the performance!
Aqua Velva Ice Sport Deo/Anti-perspirant sticks - The anti-perspirant doesn't have much scent left, but the deo does. Smells sort of like the A/S. Very nice. At 3.49 each I bought the three they had. The sticks say Smithkline Beecham. As an aside, they also had Brut Actif Blue deo, but that was 7.99... I may still get it, as the label said Faberge and I'm curious!
Enjoy the photos!
