Also got my hands on a decant of Bond No. 9 New Haarlem today.  This stuff is also CRAZY

. Definitely gotta cop a whole bottle to go into the rotation for fall/winter....but that price tag 

Think my next purchase might be another bottle of Prada Amber.  And maybe a decant of L'Instant de Guerlain just to check it out

will give this a try...

what that price tag running for?

and how long does it last? i'm trying to cop something that makes the panties moist, and the yambs spread.

  

If you're talking about Bleu, it runs like 60+ for the 1.7 oz, and 80+ for the 3.7oz.  I managed to find a steal on eBay for a 3.4 oz tester for around 65 though.  Chanel frags usually carry a higher price tag than most designer frags, but trust me, its worth it.  I get about 8 hrs on the longevity on the Bleu, which is pretty nice.  And the projection is great as well.  People around you will notice and smell you, but its not so strong that you can be smelled a mile away/make people sick.  Its hard to overspray this because it is so fresh and smells so good.  And ladies LOVE it. Trust me. This scent is versatile and can be worn anywhere, but its best for a spring/summer scent. Kinda costly, but its a worthy investment.  Plus a bottle should last atleast a year plus, even more if you have other fragrances, so it isnt much at all in the long run.  Beware of fakes though, as the fragrance fakes are starting to get as bad as the shoe fakes

.  Cop from a legit store, a legit online retailer, or a top-rated eBay seller.  You dont want to spend that kinda money on a bottle and find out its fake and lasts 15 minutes

.
If you mean the New Haarlem, the 1.7 runs about 145+ (normal for a niche fragrance) and the bigger sizes I dont even wanna mention

.  Its a great fragrance, but not for everyone. More of a fall/winter scent, and ladies love it as well.  Works differently for different people though.  I'd recommend trying a decant/sample and seeing if you like it before dropping that kinda bread.

La Nuit, I get compliments every time I wear it. Best cologne I've ever owned (not that many though, to be honest

). I was thinking of picking up Libre soon too, so I'm interested too in what others have to say on that.

Just save your money and go for the real thing, oil =/= real fragrances. The oils never smell spot on w/ the actual fragrance they try to imitate, they usally have an odd oily scent over time, and if they come in contact w/ your clothes they can stain them pretty bad.
  

 

[DCAllAfrican]

They smell good to me and anyone that compliments on my oils.
Yea it can make a mess on your clothes if you put it on while you have your clothes on, but I personally don't have that issue. 

Odd oily smell, again, your opinion.

I used to mess with the oils.  Even though some dont smell exactly like the fragrance, they still smell pretty good and are cheap.  I actually started out with the oils, then curiosity/want for more led me to the actual fragrances.  If you're on a budget, the oils are a good look.

Not really opinion, like you stated the oils can mess up your clothes not just when you put on your clothes but even after oil can sit on the skin for a very long time what you think it evaporates once it hits your skin ... ? How is oily smell my opinion ... I mean they are oil based right ??

 

[lil dre 08]

I mess with oils occasionally. Never oils that are supposed to smell like designer fragrances tho.
