Australian Members - Part II - if you read the first post, you'll get what this is all about.

Speaking of fragrances, I like TF's Tuscan Leather and wear it in cooler weather.

I found that Tobacco Vanille and Amber Absolut were too sweet for me. Perhaps I simply find vanilla to be a bit too sickly sweet and overpowering.

Vanilla I cook with I do not comprehend wearing it. Maybe it gives an added meaning to the phrase “eat me” I guess.

Out of curiosity, where’s the cheapest place to get some TF cologne?

I got mine from splits from Petepan

Apologies if my post regarding vanilla ice cream and shoe repairers offended some who like these colognes.

They were a bit more subtle and multi dimensional when they remained on my sweater the next day.

I wonder if fragrances with less distinctive notes are better, or at least safer. It mitigates the risk of somebody associating a prominent and solo note with, for example, a lavender toilet cleaner.

It's a shame Henry Bucks didn't repeat their Penhaligons event in Sydney.

@Geoffrey Firmin, you mentioned one of the Tauer's having a bordello note. Which one are you speaking of?

For clarity, I am seeking to avoid this note. Thanks.

Just hang around a few as much as I do - the smell clings to you after a while.

@FredAstaire1899 It was one of the Tauer Rose colognes. The TF Noir de Noir for me has the same aura.

I lived next door to one on Frobes St thought I recognised you.

Why on Earth did I think a bordello is a type of red wine???

Better I discovered this online than having this misunderstanding in person.

Opportunity missed I would say!

Regrettable sale. I'm a 9 or 9.5 uk depending on the last. I have a pair of Trickers in the only color i find tolerable with natural welt. A uk9 but too short for me. Burnished burgundy calf, on commando. The other pair are a Cheaney brogued oxford. These re a touch longer but slightly wide for me. On dainite. Black calf.
280 for the stow, 175 for the cheaney. Can ship, prefer sydney. Can include generic trees ($30 extra).

Gutted about the stow, i know they aren't priced "cheap" but I'd rather wear them an hour at a time than sell them cheap as they aren't generally available in this make up, and definitely not under 500 when new. They will last some lucky bugger decades.

Verdelho, perhaps? (Although it's white, not red.)

Depends on where the bottle shop is located when you walk in and ask the person behind the counter to "recommend a good bordello". You might end up with some good suggestions!

Bordeaux more likely.

 

[FredAstaire1899]

A mash up of Bordeaux and Verdelho seems like the answer.

Some time back Mrs GF went into a local bottle shop and asked where they kept the foreskins.

The attendent was taken back.

I think she means cleanskins I informed him.

Oh she responded going a deep shade of red when she realised her mistake.

This whole thing makes me wonder: do you pronounce Hunter Valley Verdelho differently from the original because it's Aussie? Or is the Aussie for brothel "bordejyo"?
