I don't know what the rules are for multiple posts, but I just posted this in the acquisitions thread and realised it might be better suited here.
Had some time to kill in a nearby town today, so wandered into Home Bargains and picked up:
100 ml Match Play EdT
100 ml Match Play Aftershave
50 ml Match Play Moisturiser
200 ml Match Play Shower gel
For the grand total of £3.96! 99p each. They also had the EdT in 50 ml bottles, but wanted 99p for those too. You should never believe the RRP, but for interest's sake they claim the EdT was in the £30 range and the rest similarly so.
I haven't ever heard of these but at that price took the chance. It smells, to my very unreliable nose, like a copy of the "original" lacoste original, which was the first EdT I can remember buying.
I also got a bottle of Brut original in BM stores for £2.99.
For anyone interested, this is what a google search returned: some marketing guff
The scent description is hard to make out at that link so I tried to copy it down:
"Top Note
Aquatic-Citrus
Italian mandarin, grapefruit, orange & watermelon
Heart
Aromatic-spicy-floral
Artemisia, lavender, cardamon, jasmine, clove, coriander, pepper & nutmeg
Dry Down
Sensual-woody-ambery
Indonesian patchouli, sandalwood, cedar, vetyver, gaiac(?), incense, tonka bean, amber & musc"
A bit high minded for some 99p splash, but it smells good and can't be much cheaper.
