Additional information:

  • Bvlgari pour Homme has been repackaged, still the same old grey, but a slightly new look.
  • Burberry's for Men (the older one in the red box with plaid striping at bottom) has a new modern-looking metallic, burgundy sleeve that slides over the old box - clever way to create a new look for an old scent!
  • The Boucheron summer scents are now available, love the beautiful blue men's Boucheron bottle.
  • CK One Summer 2006 is ready to launch. The composition includes notes of melon, peach, and musk and is housed in a blue and yellowish-green bottle. My favorite of the variations so far.
  • Eternity Summer has new decals on the bottles this year, but the juice is the same as last year's.
  • Versace Man has launched an Eau Fraiche version.
  • Anthony Logistics has launched a line of 4 fragrant body sprays: Energy, Courage, Spirit and Strength. Look for a review coming soon!
  • At Sephora, Lotto Man and Everlast Original 1910 are on the shelves.
  • Burberry London for Men is rumored to launch this summer - or will it merely be a relaunch of the older Burberry Men scent?
  • Don't forget to sniff the new (and boring) CSP Vanilla Citrus at Sephora, Missoni for Women, Creed Home fragrances, and L'Artisan Mandarin Tout Simplement at Niemans; Goutal's Songes (save me from the evil cumin) at Saks.
  • L'Occitane is launching their new The Vert au Jasmin to compliment their recent The Vert a la Menthe this week.

Blue Sugar? Humm. What have you heard of this one?

zsm - I didn't forget it, but it launched months ago in Japan. Now that you mention it, I did remark to myself that it was curious it hadn't yet launched in any of the stores I visited. Anyhow, I had a bottle and swapped it away and wonder if the scent will ride the success train of longevity...uber-sweet and cloying.

v - haven't heard much about it yet, someone had wondered if it would be a men's scent...though I doubt it...

Marlen, I am really wanting to smell the new Patou. Have you tried it yet?
