I am posting this as separate thread rather than putting it under the sticky how to make the frag train better, in part because I think folks may ignore stickies after awhile. Also because this thread is more intended for comments from those who have recently had the frag train as to what the got out of it, and not just how to make it better.
The following are excerpts from arghblech's PMs to me after he had had the frag train and sent it on to tsmba. I post these excerpts with his permission:
I bought the PdNs from beautyhabit.com, when it was having an amazing sale during the summer. Still a reliable place to buy in my experience, sale or no sale.

I loved the Hammam Bouquet and I'm going to have to lie, cheat, and steal until I can get a bottle. I also really enjoyed the Yatagan and PdN Pour Homme. They are also on the list.
I added in a small tester of Paul Sebastien EdC, a small spritzer of SCS X4 EdT, a small bottle of Versace Black Jeans, and a little nalgene bottle of Czech Pitralon aftershave. I did have to remove a bit of packaging to get the box closed.
The only thing I might suggest is that maybe we include some little stickers for labelling things. I just wrote on the bottles or bags but it might help someone else.
Thanks for the chance to sniff all that smellum,
The HB is now in my top two along with my last few mLs of Creed's Private Collection Tabarome.
I felt the dry down was really nice. I also liked that it stayed pretty close to the skin after the first half hour or so. This is the first Pen's that I've smelled so may need to order that scent library at some point.
I had tried Yatagan in a mall perfume shop but really didn't like it. This time I found it to work really well on my skin. I just need to give it a bit of time to air out a bit right after application. There's a top note that reminds me of church incense that I'm not thrilled with but it's gone soon enough.

I'd tried and enjoyed PdN New York but I liked the Pour Homme a lot more. Again, it had an odd top note, a kind of soapy not exactly citrus/orange, but it faded into something I really liked.
Where did you find yours? I've had some trouble finding vendors for PdN that I was comfortable with.
