Bath and Body Works-Frags

[Shantytownbrown]

Was in bath and body works to pick up some CO Bigelow green, and nosed a bunch of their frags...

To the traditionalists out there, the CO Bigelow's were very classic barbershop styles, they seemed nice, but those dont fit me too well, I know many of you out there they do, so may be worth checking when they have a good sale...

My question is about their others...Has anyone tried the Ocean or Paris scents...I liked them the best (for me)..I am heading back to the mall to pick some up later this week, but wanted to see if anyone else had experience with their branded frags for men...???

I was going to try the AS/lotion cream in those scents too..comments before I purchase?
(Ocean also has a shave cream tube...prob not on par w CO-B green)

When you try them I would be interested to know, as since it is Bath and Body Works their stuff is locally available.

I found the Ocean shave cream to be not-so-great. Couldn't get lather from it, and found it clogged easily...

I received a bottle of Twilight Woods, I liked it pretty well. But I am not a frag guy, it is the only cologne that I own. I wear it maybe once a month.

I have both the Ocean and Paris frags and matching shower gels.
I seem to prefer Paris overall. I keep choosing it this summer over my other 30 frags.
Ocean is in my gym bag and is refreshing after a workout and hot shower.
But I wouldn't buy it again. To me though it is a dead ringer for the original Gucci Guilty which is also in my gym bag. So I feel like I bought two of the same which sucks.

Thanks for the input, mall trip scheduled for tomorrow....
good to know of the shave cream, will avoid...

You have to try NOIR.

Simply amazing frag, seriously. For the price, it's one of the best out there (also you can look at White Musk from The Body Shop).

NOIR shower gel is also a true marvel!

Every time I go there I spray elixir black on one wrist and elixir white on the other. I like one, and don't like the other. But then, I can never remember which one I sprayed on which wrist.

I have the Ocean shower gel. Nice smell. I've stocked up.

I ordered the Amber yesterday, and I'll report back.

I do the same thing when i try multi-frags

My Amber arrived yesterday and I broke it out this morning. I really like it! It is supposedly comprised of amber and bargamot (sp?), but since I have no idea what either of those smell like, I can't say how authentic the scent is. For me I think it will mainly be a fall or evening cologne, although I am guessing I'll try to sneak it into the rotation more frequently than that.

Bergamot is a type of orange, so citrusy. Amber is harder to describe. A warm earthy scent, basically.

I finally picked mine up, Ocean and Paris..will place them in rotation and see how they go..unfortunately I cannot until after this week, I work in a hospital, and I am back on rotation for seeing patients (I have been non-clinical for the last 5 months) and you really shouldn't wear fragrances around sick folks...something I was taught the first week of school...
