Oh I approve of that.
What is the thing?

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?

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''
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 19:33, Reply)

you're not actually going to buy it from selfridges though
As it will be significantly cheaper in boots or superdrug..
(berk, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 19:37, Reply)

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

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 19:41, Reply)

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

( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 19:42, Reply)

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

(berk, 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.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 19:48, Reply)

£68?!

(berk, 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
when you come out with puerile crap like that.

I'm not angry Jeff
I'm just disappointed.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 20:54, Reply)

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.
(berk, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 19:25, Reply)

I will either get Miss Dior Cherie again
or go to Jo Malone.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 19:27, Reply)

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.
(berk, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 19:18, Reply)

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