Re: Used up my Coates stash...what’s good these days?

Sam, good to see you too! Terre d'Hermes kept making its way back into the house here, too, so I finally just stuck with it. I've got the parfum and the Eau Intense Vetiver, too, now. :shock: :roll:

Re: Used up my Coates stash...what’s good these days?

Re: Used up my Coates stash...what’s good these days?

Re: SilkSmoke and SynBad synthetics

Gary, thanks for the follow-up remarks. I have a Synbad around here that I thought to sell but never have. I should give it another go at some point, I think.

Re: More Portraits

Chris, one way or another, I'm glad to see you. The portraits are wonderful, as is knowing that you took them and are not merely alive but living, pursuing your hobbies and interests and spending your time with loved ones.

Thanks for sharing these lovely photographs.
