Jeff - Floris is available through their website (look in shopping forum - I think Jim just posted recently about a sale) www.florislondon.com

I have also seen Floris fragrances sold at CO Bigelow stores.

Egads. On top of being a latecomer to the thread, I see my tastes are fairly pedestrian. Time to broaden my horizons, perhaps?

1. Acqua di Gio
2. Stetson Untamed
3. Adidas Adrenaline
4. Coty Raw Vanilla
5. Eddie Bauer Adventurer

Depending on the mood/weather, I'd swap in Stetson Black and Adidas Moves. Bath & Body Works for Men Cool Spring is a nice change once in a while, too.

I've been wearing Lagerfeld classic for years. I still like it. But I would like to find something lighter that I enjoy also, for the warmer months. Something.. citrusy, maybe? I don't know. Also, it can't be too expensive. I'm cheap. Suggestions?

You might check out Caswell-Massey Number Six. It's around $28, when it's not on sale and it's a classic scent - George Washington wore it - and it's a pretty light citrusy scent. Perfect IMHO for the summer months.

Welcome to B&B.

So.... what is everyones top 5 favorite colognes?

1. Issey Miyake (for men)
2. Lacoste
3. Grey Flannel (Geoffrey Beane, if it's still made)
4. Old Spice
5. Obsession (for men)

Numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 are in actual order-of-preference (mine). Issey Miyake smells/feels wonderfully citrusy; Lacoste and Geoffrey Beane fulfill my sublimated NY Jewish desire to be a Palm Beach county WASP -- OK, so what if I live in Boca Raton; after all, I'm only renting! -- and both have that Ralph Lauren, unselfconscious, old-money casualness of chinos (with the buckle in the back), polo shirts, and molded-to-your-feet deck shoes (worn without socks); and Old Spice is the only smell I can remember of my father, who died so very young, way too many years before he had any right to.

Obsession, like Elizabeth Taylor, is overpowering and tasteless; but when she was good (and for so many years, she was), she was intoxicating.
