I have known for a couple years that I wanted to get Caron's "Third Man" (or L'Homme 3ieme, in the original Fronch); while scent-shopping with my wife for a new perfume for her, she insisted that I try a bunch as well, and I we were both knocked out by how good the Third Man smelled on me. The sample spritz went on great and only improved as the hours passed. 
This was Christmas some years back - at least 2 years ago - and, more fool I, I did not pick up the bottle at the time (for those of you who live in Los Angeles/Orange County area, this is the Nordstrom's at South Coast Plaza). In my defense, it was because I bought my wife her perfume and lotion instead. Upon my return a month or so after, the lady assured me that, while they were out of stock, they had ordered two bottles because a customer had special-ordered one, and they would notify me when the shipment came in.
2 years later, I remain scentless.
So! The question is, does anyone on B&B have a good source for Caron's Third Man? Online or storefront? My wife is convinced that we'll have to go back to Paris and buy it from their store. I don't want to wait that long!Help me, Obi-Wan Badger!
