Musings: The General

Hello, and welcome to another happy Monday.

I'm writing this from a Friday point of view, right after the publishing of the Lacoste Essential review.

Next Friday I'll be DJing a little Frosh at the local high school, and enjoying it to boot. Life's been at a bit of a standstill lately, not a bad thing. In times of boredom like these one turns to passions like perfumery to calm the nerves, which is where I'm going.

I've made a new list of scents to try, and here it is:

* Yves Saint Laurent Kouros
* Givenchy Xeryus
* Knize Ten
* Givenchy Very Irresistible Men
* L'Homme Eau d'Ete

In addition to the usual rambling I've attempted to understand more about the "sillage" of colognes. So far I know what it means, and I know that the 80's powerhouse fragrances had LOTS OF IT.

I also really want to take a whiff of the Agent Provocateur line, merely for the sake of doing it. I'm also trying to get more intelligeht, into more niche fragrances, such as Knize Ten, Kenzo stuff, Alfred Sung, and other "classier" fragrances that aren't made on your average designer's whim.

Musically speaking I've also been getting into new material. Adam K and Soha have a new single out that's proper beautiful. Bart B. More and MC Flipside have teamed up to re-release More's So It Goes, a 2007 monster underground hit. Pryda's just dropped a bomb of an underground progressive baby with Melo/Lift/Reeperbahn on PRY014, and Uto Karem is destroying the Beatport Top 100 chart by topping it off (how else?). Life is good.

Enjoy yourselves until next Friday, when I review an inoffensively beautiful masculine fragrance by the name of Givenchy pour Homme.
