Enjoy the glory, and that beautiful Tanifuji!

After dousing myself with aftershave and EdT, I remembered I have a doctor's appointment midday today. That should be interesting. At least I didn't use Midnight Stag :)

Bold and glorious choice that I fully support.

Case in point: I'm currently traveling to a conference, and here's the full list of software I've packed

  1. Tabac Original

I think the EdT is so good it overcomes the polarizing aspect of the soap's scent. I'll be on a short trip starting Friday. Not sure what I'll take yet. Certainly the #GloriousStankTrinity is an option.

Did you get a bottle of 3 Scots?

[–] gcgallant 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. An alternative to the Black Watch EdT didn't strike my fancy. I can't imagine that the BW EdT can be improved upon.

My thoughts went exactly the other way: Black Watch is wonderful, and 3 Scots was the result the same perfumer working in response to the same prompt, it must be great, too 😂

But that doesn't help with your Friday Frag Finding Fix

The poor Belgians! What have they done to you to deserve this 🤣

[–] djundjila 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I swear I smelled Tabac at Bruxelles-Midi, so I conclude that Belgians are a cultured bunch, and I immediately felt welcomed 😊

Unlike in Paris, which displayed a disturbing lack of Tabac today 😕

Recently, I keep running into people wearing Terre d'Hermès here (or maybe Stirling Arkadia? 🤔)

[–] djundjila 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, that's nice, too!

[–] PorkButtsNTaters666 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How did the doctor deal with the stank?

[–] gcgallant 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There were no comments one way or the other. I think that’s a good outcome.

[–] PorkButtsNTaters666 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A testimony to the great professionalism of your doctor 😂

[–] gcgallant 2 points 1 year ago

Agree. Either that, or their noses are already conditioned to much stronger and far worse odors :)
