I've never been into wearing expensive fragrances for the sake of walking around smelling myself. Up to now. I'm currently and eagerly getting ready to buy a bottle of Truefitt & Hill 1805 cologne. There must be some kind of chemical serendipity at work. Whatever it is, regardless of whether anyone else likes it, I'm going to give it a go.

I hope it works for you, but I remember Gordon saying it was one of their 'modern' scents with the artificial fixative that made it have that 'oceanic' smell. I have only two of their scents, Grafton (odd and disappointing) and Freshman (not original, and also disappointing).
I take it you've had a sample or something so you know you like it?

Yeah, you've got me! Never been within a country mile of it, I must have been just dreaming when I picked up a bottle and sprayed a tester on my shirt sleeve, then spent the rest of the day at work sneaking another and another and another sniff of what I recklessly determined to be the best I've ever experienced. Where's our friend Gordon when we need him. I should probably defer such important life decisions to the experts that used to exist on the internet (only as recently as 8 years ago before disappearing) instead of clumsily making every day life decisions for myself. .
No offense intended, of course, I hope you know I have a dry sense of humor. I just couldn't pass it by.
I did take some time looking through several hundred of his posts, and the only post of Gordon's I found (fifteen years ago, dated July of 2008) when he deemed two words to be a sure sign of incompetence. 1. "Modern" 2. "Oceanic".
