Yes, absolutely, I've got a monthly addiction getting samples from these guys.
Excellent. My debit card is about to get hammered...

It's dangerous though, I've graduated to a new Creed a month addiction recently and I've bought a Chanel Pour Monsieur recently as well. I've even found myself trying to justify a bottle of Roja but the missus made it clear she'd be getting a new handbag if I did laugh

Crikey, what did you get Funk? You'll get a nice freebie in your bundle for that.

Am thinking about getting some Tabac to give that a try. Used to only use CK obsession and Issey Miyake but got bored with them and went old school.

Amazing how many people love the first 2.
I've got a bottle of Tabac in my house at the moment; I've bought it as a secret santa gift for someone at work. I hate it, it's really sweet and floral. It smells a lot more modern than it's age (nearly sixty years old).

Old Spice is a classic though, a fragrance damned more by it's name than anything else. Most people who take the piss out of it don't know what it smells like and really like it when they don't know what it is. Their 'Wolfheart' scent is fantastic too.

I'm wearing Dior Sauvage now. Never before have I worn an aftershave that has got so many compliments from females. Even more than when I wear Creed Aventus.

I've had Aventus before but can't quite get with spending £150+ on one bottle....yet...!

Based on recommendations from this thread I've ordered the following:

Item: 1 x Green Irish Tweed: 2ml Spray Sample @ £4.48 ex VAT
Item: 1 x Ombré Leather 16: 2ml Spray Sample @ £5.38 ex VAT
Item: 1 x Aventus: 20ml Decanted Bottle @ £32.39 ex VAT
Item: 1 x Bleu de Chanel - Eau de Parfum: 10ml Spray Sample @ £14.94 ex VAT
Item: 1 x Man - In Black: 10ml Spray Sample @ £14.94 ex VAT

I then accidentally added

Item: 1 x Tobacco Vanille: 5ml Spray Sample @ £11.97 ex VAT

Didn't realise they'll chuck a freebie in as well - be nice to get something random I may not have picked before. I'll let you know what they put in and whether I rate it or not!

Good choices there, Funk!

They throw in something random each time, and I've found mine to be hit and miss (as you'd expect), but the nice thing is you'll try something you'd have never tried otherwise! smile

That's my daily wear at the moment. Quite nice, ends up being just amber with a hint of something at the end of the day, but I like amber...

Some nice choices in there. I couldn't get away with the Irish Tweed and my other half threatened to leave me if I ever wore it again biggrin
The Ombre Leather 16 is fantastic stuff and I've just ordered a 3ml sample. I loved it right away, she wasn't overly keen but after 10 minutes she changed her mind.
I do love the Aventus too and also added that to my sample order.
Not tried the others but I still have a 5ml bottle of Tobacco Vanille and that's my favourite at the minute. Again, it's one of those that women go out of there way to ask what I'm wearing. They then normally tell me they're going to buy it for their husbands thus crushing my lady killer fantasy biggrin
