    i've actually bought the urban retreat one when it came out 2yrs ago as i loved it's old sophisticated smell, but unfortunately, the fragrance isn't very lasting at all which is a shame. i haven't smelt your other faves, but i'll certainly check out.
    as i am v fussy about scent, the only ones i wear regularly are Chanel No. 5, and White Linen by Estee Lauder. i quite like Tom Ford range for men, but i tested the whole range and i couldn't remember the names of the ones i liked!:p

    Yes, sadly I've found that out about the Urban Retreat one. It is lovely though, and I might pick up a couple more before they're gone. Chanel No 5 smells great in the bottle but it doesn't suit me at all.

    I'm pretty much wearing Tam Dao constantly at the moment - so many people comment on how beautiful it smells. Guess I've found my signature scent then.

    top 2 favs are vivienne westwood boudior and thierry mugler angel yum yum

    I quite like the brown Gucci one too


    What does Angel smell like? I've tried his Alien one and love it! Quite a heavy perfume and reminds me somewhat of Hypnotic Poison. Not cheap though!

    Angel is quite sweet with a vanilla like chocolatey smell. A little bit flowery but not summery flowers - can you 'smell' it from that description? :D

    The blurb for it describes it as Featuring top notes of bergamot and helional, Angel has delicious heart notes of honey, dewberry and red berries, combined with rich, sensual base notes of vanilla, caramel, chocolate and patchouli.

    Yum yum

    I'm still faithful to First ( Van Cleef & Arpels). It is getting hard to find now other than on the 'net and I live in terror of it being discontinued.

    I am actively trying to find a second perfume but nothing else even comes close for me even in the same fragrance family ( floral aldehydics).
