Lacoste Red
A cheerful enough everyday sort of aftershave.

It smells nice.
I'm a fan of jasmine and cinnamon, as you might have gathered from my body wash and shampoo.

To be honest I'd have no idea how to describe the smell.
Thankfully, someone on the Internet reckons it smells of those things I listed.

I tried to see what mine smells of.
"The unexpected floral bursts with a lightness and zest as notes of citrus, Water Hyacinth and Jasmine Absolute are highlighted and energized with woody notes of Amber of Patchouli and Fresh Vetiver."

So what we've learnt here is that people who try and describe the smell of
specific perfumes or aftershaves all sound really fucking bent.

Is that fair?
(, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 19:16, Reply)
YES.
I need to get a new perfume. I've got a choice of one I had before and another really nice brand.

Maybe the Avon lady will come a knocking and you'll be able to get something from her?

Nah, I'll go to Selfridges.

When you get to the make-up count I insist you say to the orange woman behind the counter
'Bing-bong! This is Lampy calling'

And then start browsing.

When I were a lad
Avon sold cosmetics door-to-door, their advertisments were mostly 'doorbell rings, and some bint saying 'Avon calling''

you're not actually going to buy it from selfridges though
As it will be significantly cheaper in boots or superdrug..

Or Online, where there are also savings to be made.

Oh no, but I need to see which Jo Malone one I want.

is that the one that you can buy sort of matching ones and layer them?

(, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 19:44, Reply)
Yeah, but I'm not sure I'm quite rich enough yet.
Unless I buy two 50ml that complement each other and wear them either together or apart, rather than one 100ml bottle. But that's provided I have £68 to just spend willynilly. Which I don't.
(, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 19:48, Reply)
£68?!

(, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 20:04, Reply)
They should charge £69 for it.
It's a more amusing number.

You know, it's no wonder I think you're younger than you are

I've been feeling like that for a while
I still have half a bottle of both of mine to use up though.. and really you need someone to come with you, so they can see what it smells like on.

I will either get Miss Dior Cherie again
or go to Jo Malone.

I have a day one and a night one
having just looked them up, they have more or less identical notes, but they smell completely different to me. Weird.

I used to have two.
But I ran out of Miss Dior Cherie, which is lovely.

I started watching the Super Bowl last night.

not much longer than any other game
at the game during commercials then men are huddled or getting a drink or something

So they are professional sportsmen who can't go for more than fifteen minutes without a break?

(, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 19:34, Reply)
you can't think of it like other sport
it gets unfairly put down because people compare it to rugby, to which it only has a passing resemblance.

It is rubbish and incredibly dull, though.

And apparently it's also the reason why Betamax failed and VHS ruled the VCR world
As the average game lasts about 4 hours and you could get 4 hour VHS tapes, something you couldn't get with Betamax.*

*At least, someone told me this once, no idea if it's true or not.

I thought it was something to do with porn
in that it was released on VHS not Betamax ergo VHS wins

to be honest
I find watching almost any sport rubbish and incredibly dull.

Handegg at least has the benefit of not being talked about all the fucking time by loads of people like football.

I have come to fucking hate football.

I'm sure they could, but these days it's all about the money, no?

Well they showed the game here on BBC1 which has no commercials
So they kept going back to the studio for analysis.

well while you're getting studio analysis
we're getting commercials

the commericals are the best bit
the Terry Tate: Office Linebacker stuff from a while ago was excellent.

those descriptions are crazy
mine says: It has a red apple top note, accentuated by the subtle spicy aroma of cinnamon and supported by a dewy floral middle note (the crisp, green effect of geranium). The final touches are added to this sumptuously deep and warm Eau de Toilette by the soft, wood and amber base note accord.
