I'm pretty psyched to try it out. I've read comparisons to Aventus, which, I'm not sure I believe because Aventus at this point isn't even a skin scent on me. Was this crap reformulated / watered down at some point after the original release? Any truth to Creed being sold to Black Rock?

ON the other hand... Terre D'Hermes EDT .............. holy shit, I found this one to be a BANGER. Definitely grabbing a bottle, lived up to and exceeded the hype and everything I've read and heard about it. Once Aventus died down, which took about 20-30 minutes, I decided to go ahead and spray some Terre D'hermes on my forearms - brah, this stuff is beautiful. 100% masculine.

I like TdH, and the performance is fantastic, but it's one of those frags where you don't wear it, it wears you. There was one comment on Fragrantica where someone basically said "it's the smell of old money," which I thought was dead on. You need to be able to project a certain amount (read: a lot) of confidence, else you would come across absolutely ridiculous while wearing it in public. My first experience with it was at a high-end hotel in DC where some 50 year old guy in a tailored suit had it on, and holy shit, he rocked it.

My most recent discovery is No. 4 Neon. Mango overload. Leans a little unisex/twinky, but it's so sunny and happy, I think anyone who likes citrus at all would like it. I don't even like mango ordinarily.
