Oooh you smell nice!

Ha! Oh my good god! Who on earth were they modelling that bottle on? They certainly haven’t captured the obesity and orangeness too well.

Currently has a ranking of 1.61 out of 5 on Fragrantica and some pretty scathing reviews so far. From the note breakdown, I’d say this was a pretty generic attempt at a Fougere.

Bought Mrs C some MFK ‘Gentle Fluidity’ for her birthday…will definitely be stealing some. Lovely stuff

Is that the silver or the gold one Chris?

Silver mate. It’s a similar DNA to Aventus but more pineapple/bergamot from the off then more amber musk at the tail end but overall just more smooth and complex.

Edited to say: slight sweet note that balances the above better than AV does

Was in Edinburgh for a wander last week and had a sniff of the new Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif. Not rare or ‘niche’ but wow it’s lovely

MFK is great. Wearing Grand Soir now, a lovely amber fragrance. Does remind me a bit of Boss Bottled Elixer and Absolu. Which are also great.

Yeah I have the silver too. Lovely stuff. Gives me gin and tonic vibes.

I fully endorse this behaviour. I’ve had the odd shopcident after a few glasses of red.

I’ve got this one on back order - love CdG and Max Richter should be cool…

Have asked Mrs Chris for Blue Talisman EDP from Ex Nihilo for Xmas. Had a sample spray and fell for it badly

Love it Chris. It’s been a daily wear for me lately too. Wasn’t mad for the Extrait, but the EDP :ok_hand:t2:.

I tried the extrait and it didn’t do it for me either. The EDP is sensational!

You could have a few glasses of GnT and cut out the middle man.:blush:

Was intrigued to have a sniff of this walking through town this afternoon; you’re absolutely right, I can’t not smell gin! I must admit I think I preferred the gold to the silver.

Was looking for a suitable upgrade for my wife, who is looking for an alternative to YSL Cinema as it’s being discontinued and they’ve changed the recipe - it does smell amazing but also appears to be quite unique!

Cinema seems to have been reformulated a few times. Most recently last year by the looks of it. Love this bottle.

Tesori D’Oriente’s ‘Hammam’ is supposed to be very similar to Cinema. I’ve not smelled either of them, so can’t verify, and the bottle isn’t as nice either.
