Ron,

I thought you were limiting yourself to two of the Musgo colognes. I should have known better! :wink:

Whew- from what I remember, that Lapsang Souchang is intense stuff..

Ron, I've been eyeing the Tabac Culture. Be sure to let us know how you like it.

Don't knock it till you try it my friend :wink:

Me thinks if you just gave the a/s moisture cream you'd damn near have a heart attack, let alone the full RMWS routine. Pain in the ***.... but results are results!

I would never knock something so nobly named. But I also know that I do not need such a grandiose routine to get results.

Wonderful, fresh, bright citrus fragrance. Dry down is very good blend of spices (cardamon and maybe some cinnamon) along with patchouli, likely some sandalwood in there. It is not a simple fragrance, but it is simply a joy to wear.

Thanks Ron.

I received some Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna eau de toilette from my sister in law, and a tub of Truefitt & Hill Grafton shaving cream. Can anyone tell me a little something about this cream? I once tried the Trafalgar cream and was kind of put off by it. I hope this stuff is up my ally!

Got some time before I have to put the glazed ham on the BBQ, so why not post about what Santa brought today:

Penhaligon's Violetta EDT and body lotion, Dolce & Gabbana EDT and shower gel, Burberry Brit body lotion and L'Oranger shower gel.

Holiday Cheers to All,
