Need Help From the Cologne Connoisseurs

[Cuttingboard]

Last week, I ordered a Joris Thuya Wood Shaving Bowl from Colonial Drugs and mentioned to Cathy that I was looking for new summer scents. She included several large sample, a majority of which I have no idea what they are and wanted to see if you guys recognize these abbreviations. Here we go:

1. McClen or McGlen;
2. Green Wat , maybe Green Water;
3. L'h Sport;
4. Moon Bal or Men Bal;
5. Kieg; and
6. S.P. Fig;

I'd guess Green Water (2 different scents, one by Creed), L'Homme Sport, and Keig is by Castle forbes. Beyond that I'm not sure.

Good luck

You could always call her and ask. I know that my samplers from C.D. were completely illegible and I never quite figured them all out.

Then this wouldn't be as much fun...testing the boards knowledge and expertise!

Send me the samples, I'll sniff them and let you know what I think they are.

You're probably correct, they do carry a lot of R&G products.

How was the Joris? What does it compare to? I waited for over a year for that soap.

I haven't used the Joris yet, I'm trying to kill a puck of MWF before I switch to my warm weather soaps/creams. Below is a picture of the Joris Thuya Wood Bowl, I paid way too much but I had to have it!!

I'm wearing this one today, it smells ok but not a keeper.

2, 4, and 6 are correctly identified.

2 is Green Water
4 is Monsier Balmain
6 is Spanish Fig and Nutmeg.


Of these, I like 4 and 6 quite a bit but don't care for Green Water.

... of course, he's probably already called and gotten the answers, and now he want's to see if we can figure it out anyhow.

I emailed her...haven't heard back.

I'm wearing Spanish Fig & Nutmeg today...not sure what to think of it. One sniff I like it and on another sniff, I'm not sure. Definately not a summer scent because of the spice notes.

Cathy also sent me 1805, which is a great summer scent.
