well, first and foremost this is kind of the dawn of a new era. perhaps not all that exciting for anyone reading this, but let it be known that this would be the first post what i gone done on my shiny new computer thing. look you see. many thanks to my good chum Mark for the sensational effort to arrange it for me.
right, to business. if i can work out how to add pictures on this new system. hang on, yes i can. still getting used to the wireless keyboard (and mouse) i picked up for it, so bear with. where was i? oh, yes. not much really, just that a particularly, by my usual standards, posh bottle of what i would refer to as aftershave is nearly finished, which is why the title is what it is.
presented above, in VHS mode, then, is the first and quite probably last bottle of L'Homme off of Versace that i will buy. indeed it was bought when on a most attractive special price offer, albeit one that was slightly higher than i would usually pay for an aftershave for myself. as and when Christmas comes around, which is generally annually, it would be so that i know which type of aftershave the boys want as it shall (invariably) turn out to be the most expensive one.
oddly i would appear to have some sort of "brand loyalty" to Versace. normally, and once again i am not at all sure anyone is particularly interested, i would use their Blue Jean when on my travels and their one called The Dreamer when at lodgings in my place of exile. undoubtedly i have discussed this before, but yes, Blue Jean selected due to Blue Jean off of Bowie. but also it comes in a nice metal tin container so doesn't get damaged from station to station.
do you all still want some sort of warning if a picture of me (moi) is imminent? if so then be warned as such is closer than you may think.
i took the above picture earlier this year, rather than later in it. early (ish) January to be slightly precise, when i went on a stroll around that there London (innit) prior to spending many (several) hours in planes to reach New Zealand. no, i did not call in and make a purchase. funds at that stage were reserved purely for the odyssey.
how is it that i became some sort of Versace loyalist? i think it was when i saw an advert in some leaflet or similar off of a shop, offering Blue Jean at what struck me as a most agreeable price. sure the name drew me in (see above) and happily the scent was agreeable. expanding my range to have some of The Dreamer from time to time was mostly based on the special offer price.
to be honest, to give a kind of sort of review, i am not certain that i would purchase this one, L'Homme, again. granted, yes, Sprios thinks it's marvellous that i own something so explicitly homoerotic, but in truth i wasn't all that keen on the smell. which is kind of an important part of an aftershave. rather too grapefruity for me, overall, i think.
my suspicion is that i am lonely if not alone in calling this form of product "aftershave". i believe these days the generation at the forefront call it a fragrance, or even maybe still a cologne. well, whatever you prefer to call it, assume that is what i called it here.
yes, there is every chance that one day i may (might) move away from the Versace experience. there's that one what they use Bowie music to advertise, which is indeed as good a selling point as any for me. also they sell it in bottles (or containers) shaped like a robot. the answer to why i have not bought any of it yet, with two very strong selling points, resides in the fact that even on special it is north of £50. i am not sure i am that bothered about how i smell or how others find me to smell.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
