Pilgrimage To Sephora

Posted on March 30, 2008 by cologniac

What’s a redneck to do in New York City?  Certainly not buying taco sauce!  Nosirree – not when there are perfume stores to visit!  Actually, I was looking for something completely different (like Starbucks and Kinokuniya) when I spotted Sephora near Times … Continue reading →

You Might Be A Redneck If…

Posted on March 26, 2008 by cologniac

This Is Your Brain On Musks

Posted on March 16, 2008 by cologniac

Scent Boys Get The Axe

Posted on March 12, 2008 by cologniac

  Fragrance makes for strange bedfellows.  Who would think that there was an axis of odor linking these people… little old ladies wearing nuclear florals, capable of taking out an entire bank of elevators in a 1-floor ride overcologned rednecks … Continue reading →

Revenge of the Nards

Posted on March 8, 2008 by cologniac

Thanks to a nice post by Salon Aesthetica, I was tipped off to this interesting scent – L’Eau de Jatamansi.  I just got my bottle, pictured (and quite NIB).  It comes with a nice refillable “purse-sized” spray bottle (also pictured) … Continue reading →

Smells Like Columbus, Ohio

Posted on March 6, 2008 by cologniac

There was a WAY TOO SHORT fragrance article in the local metro mag today.  Only a page if you pull out the pictures, and that’s being rather generous.  You can look at the web version here.  It’s mostly about women’s … Continue reading →

As I was going through the Cologne Drawer today, looking for something different, I saw my old bottle of Allure Homme (EdT), by Chanel. Not having worn it in a while, I tried to recall the scent. Ah, yes. I remembered … Continue reading →

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Posted on March 5, 2008 by cologniac

Why, what redneck wouldn’t like both the Travis Tritt song AND the cheap 1970’s aftershave? Well – here is a link to the original story in Time Magazine, back in 1971. A buddy of mine used to love this stuff … Continue reading →
