Another trip to the perfume counter, another four smells applied to skin. Actually, this time it was five, so look out for the bonus: - Hugo Boss The Scent Elixir - Tested the whole Boss The Scent line on the strngth of the free sample of The Scent Intense I recently tried and enjoyed. All of them were better than I anticipated, and this was the best of the bunch. Might pick up one of these in the fullness of time. - Creed Centaurus - Had to pop some Creed on. Plumped for Centaurus. Quite nice and spicy, a departure from the rest of the line. I like it, but I don't £300-pound-like-it. - YSL Y Iced Cologne - Stumbled upon this and had to try it. The ice accord is really cool, and the mint also works wonders early. The drydown is muted at first on me, but it mellows into a fizzy scent that I do like. I don't currently have anything from YSL, I should test the house and pick out something nice. - Clive Christian Strange Heavens Out of the Blue - Well blended and interesting "wandering scent", that goes from sweet to flowery to smoky withough cracking at the seams. It's nice... but it's not THAT nice. - Aaand finally, we hit Sunnamusk for the first time and sampled Golden Dust. Absolutely lovely. Smelt like Las Vegas, in a good way. I picked up a discovery set (6x1.2ml for a very creditable £14.95), and I'm popping back tomorrow to pick up the EDP, some perfume oil, and a candle. My wife and I got married in Vegas, and this scent definitely conjures up that memory. We also popped into Boots and saw some frankly great deals on discontinued stock and gift sets. Picked up the Polo set (10ml each of Red, Blue and 67) for £15, and a 75ml of the previous formulation of Acqua di Gio EDP for £40. My wife picked up 50ml of the discontinued Black Opium Extreme for £35. Outside of the fragrance space, I tried on a few watches. Overall, and fun and productive evening.

This whole time I’m trying to figure out why she was bothered with me. Can anyone help? (It’s a joke)
