Central Park – It’s Easy Being Green
Kicking off the Bond No. 9 marathon, I chose to…choose the fragrances at random, and I’ll be mixing in my as-yet unreviewed fragrances out of my wardrobe and the Bond No. 9 fragrances for your reading pleasure. This also takes a lot of that pesky thinking out of the equation; I now can tell you [...]
Baldessarini Ambre – Easy Drinkin’
While I’ll be the first to admit that for the most part Hugo Boss offerings haven’t done much for me (I’ll also admit my experience with them is pretty limited), I have yet to find a fragrance in their Baldessarini line that I didn’t like. The original Baldessarini (which will be reviewed in the future) [...]
Clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere…
Alright I got about halfway done with the cleanup that I wanted to accomplish. The fragrance reviews are now all organized down the sidebar, and placeholders have been set for forthcoming reviews in both Niche Experiment One and the Bond No. 9 Marathon. Still to be done is a comprehensive set of tags, which will [...]
Nerdcore Part II
Oh man, as much as I liked having a 32″ TV for a monitor there are plenty of downsides to it, the most notable one being the resolution is a meager 1360×768. Lucky me, then, that my 32″ TV asploded today. As backwards as that sounds it was the best thing that could’ve happened. See, [...]
Updates for 9/12
Well life’s weird. Starting Monday, ready or not, I’m working two jobs that stretch basically from 8 AM to 10 PM. The second job (working for a domain registrar) will look damn good on a resumé, nevermind the catch (the domain registrar is my landlord and I’m working from home). This means a lot to [...]
Dear Mr. McCain
I understand that you were a P.O.W. The actions that you took in Vietnam represents the kind of heroism that makes America great. However it’s not really a viable platform to run for president, is it? Perhaps we could discuss silly things like the economy, education reform, healthcare reform, alternative energy, and global warming (as [...]
Floodgates
In a stunning development, at least one of you doesn’t find me terrible. That person would be Elena of Bond No. 9, who sent me a press kit for their new creation, Lexington Avenue, as well as samples of about 13 other men’s offerings. So what you’re going to see is a mini-marathon of Bond [...]
Cruel Intentions – Cologne to $$$ to.
With the niche experiment winding down I’m hitting the second of three by Kilian Hennessy, Cruel Intentions, and this one was recommended explicitly for me out of not only the Kilian line but all of perfumery, by the Basenotes crew. Well, how am I supposed to not sample it when you get a recommendation like [...]
