Burgundy said:I've owned both AdG and Envy and they're as different as two designer scents can possibly be: AdG is clean, fresh and evokes summer whereas Envy is spicey, woody, perhaps even slightly carnal. I wear Envy out clubbing. Both are great scents and, to my nose, preferable to the five in your current collection. The question is - what are you actually looking for?!
shrink said:I love gucci Envy, but a classier version would be Floris' Santal. Its a class act
If you want properly good smellies.. check out L'occitane, Penhaligons and Floris, and leave all the designery high street behind. A lot of that stuff isnt great and is just generic production material with a designers name stamped onto it. Most of it has poor longevity and rather basic fragrances with no real levels of subtlety.
If you try some of the nicer penhaligons stuff (opus, endymion, quercus and hammam) you'll see that their fragrances have many more complex layers. Same goes for Floris (Santal and JF are excellent) and L'occitane (i recommend Eau de Baux).
SInce discovering how good fragrances can get, i no longer buy the standard CK/Gucci stuff, its largely not that great

I'm also a fan of davidoff hot water.
And you may like some of the other varieties of issey.
Issey bleue for example.

I'll see if I can find you a small pot and send you some if you like?
Tainted said:I think I receive their newsletter too, so I'll see if they'll send me some samples. Thanks for the advice.
Coincidentally, I was clearing out a drawer last night and came across 2 small sample bottles. One was CKIN2U and the other was Paco Rabanna 1 Million. 1 Million was right up my street. A fresh, warm and woody fragrance with some light vanilla-style undertones. That may well be on my "Must-buy" list now.
