DETAILS ON THE PRIZE: LE COLOGNE DU MAGHREB, 50 ml, 1.7 FL OZ glass flacon with spray.
From Andy himself,
HOW TO ENTER: leave a comment telling us whether you wear colognes, whether it is a seasonal thing or year-round staple for you and what is your favorite representative of a cologne genre. I have yet to smell Cologne Maghreb, so I reserve a right to change my mind, but for now I would say my favorite cologne is Malle's Cologne Bigarade."This year's highlight for the give-aways: I made an all natural, all botanical Eau de cologne, baptized LE COLOGNE DU MAGHREB, especially for this occasion. I use only natural essential oils, absolutes, and resins in it. It is a classical cologne, with a woody baseline chord, a firework of natural citrus notes, exploding into expensive sparkles, on a background with ambreine and cedarwood from the Moroccan High Atlas.
Like all colognes it is not made to last but it is a fragrant joy, living in the moment, leaving you with the finest veil of woods on your skin.
Ingredients: Citrus essential oils and absolutes (such as lemon, bergamot, clementine, mandarine, grapefruit, orange blossom absolute, neroli oil), rose absolute and oil, cedarwood, ambrein, cistrose and much more.Initially, I started working on a cologne because I got my hand on a wonderful neroli oil that was so lovely that I could not but create a fragrance around it. And what kind of perfume if not a cologne is the first thing coming to mind when thinking NEROLI….
Thus, the cologne is a little bit an homage to neroli and in a sense, it is a way of looking back to my roots, working all natural. I truly love naturals."
The draw will close on Friday, the randomly chosen winner will be announced on Monday.
Am I really the first to arrive? My favourite cologne would be Angeliques sous la Pluie, Ellena/Malle. In summer I used to put it in my freshly washed hair en during the day wafts of the Angeliques would tickle my nose with their sweet call of the moors (were they grow).
ReplyDeleteI use my 40 year old bottle of 4711 all year when I need a lift, it was my grandmother's.
ReplyDeleteI am not really a cologne person: I like things with more body, usually. But the Comme des Garçons colognes are nice, and I've been wearing the Bulgari green tea since it was launched. I would be interesting to see what Andy does with the idea.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is probably a tie between Dior Cologne Blanche and Clarins Eau Dynamisante. I don't wear cologne often, but sometimes when it's really hot outside nothing else will do. Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Andy!
ReplyDeleteI prefer to use colognes when the weather is hot, to feel fresher. Today my favourite is "Cologne" by Tierry Mugler. But I hope to try yours one day! :)
I don't wear, but I love to smell the sillage of men wearing cologne (a good one)
ReplyDeleteHi! Sounds wonderful. i am not much of a cologne wearer myself as I tend towards traditional "female' perfumes (but that is changing :p.
ReplyDeleteI did discover Dior Bois D'Argent, which is lovely though I do have to reapply quite frequently. Which is ok,long as I like it!
I don't wear colognes much but I do wear several of Andy's scents and would love to try this cologne!
ReplyDeleteI don't wear Colognes on a regular basis but I like them before going to bed on my sheets. And my favorite one is De Nicolai Cologne relaxante Haute Provence.
ReplyDeleteI primarily wear colognes in warmer weather. My faves are Mugler Cologne and 4711, but I am still exploring.
ReplyDeleteI like so much wearing colognes, It makes me feeling good taking the bottle and splashing several times during the day.
ReplyDeletemy favourite one is "Cologne pour le Soir", a subtle and refined rose blend by Francis Kurkdijan.
Cologne Blanche by Dior Homme. When I owned it, I wore it often. Splashed in on.
ReplyDeleteI typically wear colognes in the spring/summer, but sometimes them in the fall/winter. During the colder months, I'll wear it after a late evening shower. My favorite cologne right now is Eau d'Orange Verte by Hermes.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Cologne is also Malle's Bigarade Concentree by Ellena. It brightens my mood instantly, every time.
ReplyDeleteI love cologne, because I find myself wanting to wear a different scent in the evenings; I can enjoy one in the morning and a different layered later. -balutakatherine
ReplyDeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteI wear colognes mostly during summertime. My prefered one is Muglers Cologne. I like also Eau d'Orange Verte by Hermes.
I guess I wear colognes more in the summer... though today I wore Eau d'Orange Verte, which I guess is my favorite. Have been wearing it since the late '90s fairly regularly.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeletecologne is a summer thing for me. I've tried many, but keep returning to my chanel eau de cologne & hermes eau de pampelmousse rose. Would love to try Andy's!
Hi! I wear colognes all year round.I really like Elisabeth Arden Green Tea.It's perfect for the summer.Really want to try Jo Malone's creations...
ReplyDeleteI like to wear colognes in the spring/summer, when the weather is hot, to refresh my body and mind. My prefered one is Clarins Eau Dynamisante
ReplyDeleteI wear cologne year round.
ReplyDeleteA perfect representative of a genre is Chanel Pour Monsieur, of the chypre family.
I don't wear colognes year round, mostly late spring and summer, except for Nutmeg and Ginger by Jo Malone which seems to me the perfect got ot scents for some short easy wear.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try Andy's cologne as I'm sure I cannot even imagine what it must smell like. :)
cologne is a all over the year thing for me, gives me energy in the morning and a good sense during the first hours after waking up.
ReplyDeleteusually diphtyque eau de neroli.
I recently tried Citrus Bigarrade by Creed and put this on my to-buy list for summer. May not really a cologne, but close.
ReplyDeleteBut maybe it can be taken off my to-buy list if I win Andies wonderful cologne;-)
I recently tried Citrus Bigarrade by Creed and put this on my to-buy list for summer. Not really a cologne, but close.

I like my colognes...with a twist.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy them after a shower, before going to bed.
In the last few months I've been enjoying ninfeo mio, by Annick Goutal.
My favourite cologne is Eau de Guerlain. I wear colognes year round, usually as a bedtime scent. I would love to try the Cologne du Maghreb, so thanks for hosting yet another occasion to win a bottle!
ReplyDeleteI wear colognes all year round. It's hard to pick just one, but I tend to like wearing Serge Luten's MKK for those "special" moments ;)
ReplyDeleteI wear cologne year round. My favorite representative of a "watery" scent is not a cologne, but an eau de toilette- Fragonard's Bleu Riviera.
ReplyDeleteonly if i go out in the evening
ReplyDeleteI wear the qua Alegoria series, specially in spring time ( very short, is any, my part of the world) and this is the closest I got to an eau de cologne till now
ReplyDeleteI would love to get to know Andy's special
thanks
I haven't really explored the world of colognes.....yet. :) Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI love colognes on hot summer days, and my favorite is Eau de Lalique, by JC Ellena. It's got some interesting herbal twists, like dill. Then I make my own cologne based on the original from Germany, using all naturals. Very cooling! I'd love to try Andy's- his Vetiver Dance is one of my favorites.
ReplyDelete-Marla
I do wear cologne in summer when anything else is really unbearable. This year I fell for Santa Maria Novella Garofano.
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing cologne sometimes , during the hot summer days. I like to wear the classical Aqua di Parma and Thierry Mugler's Cologne
ReplyDeleteI don't wear colognes but would love to win and try Andy's cologne.
ReplyDeleteI aren't in love with colognes in general.... will wear them infrequently during summer. Maybe Thierry Mugler cologne. To beat the heat I prefer vetivers like encre noir, or woody citruses like New York. Interested in what Andy's done with the genre though!
ReplyDeleteWhile I have not tried so many colognes, I do like wearing Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune Eau de Reglisse. I need to explore....am guessing I'd love Andy's if I'm lucky enough to win!!
ReplyDeleteoops, meant Pamplelune & Reglisse.
ReplyDeleteCologne Bigarade, hands down, but I also enjoy Jo Malone's White Jasmine and Mint. I find myself reaching for cologne in general more in the warmer months, but the Bigarade calls to me all year around.
ReplyDeleteHallo, Andy!
ReplyDeleteI prefer to use colognes in spring or summer. At the moment my favourites are "Cravache" by R. Piguet for evening/night and Green Water by J. Fath during tha day.
I absolutely love cologne-like scents with something to it: Bigarade Concentree, Eau d'Hadrien, Eau d'Orange Verte, the Aqua Allegorias... cannot get enough of those. Most of all in spring/summer but whenever I want to lift my spirits they are great in colder weather too.
ReplyDeleteI wear vintage Bois des Îles cologne - fleeting but very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI wear colognes year round. But I don't really have a favorite.
ReplyDeleteI wear cologne any that siuit and I vary according to occasion. I love BVLGARI GREEN TEA by Bvlgari
ReplyDeleteI don't normally wear colognes, but if Andy Tauer made it, I'd love to try it!
ReplyDeleteI love cologne and my husband and I used to share Czech and Speake's 88. I enjoy Cartier eaude orange but don't know if that is classed as a cologne. The initial smell seems to go quite quickly but the base notes last a good deal of the day and I find myself thinking what is that grat smell and it's me !
ReplyDeleteI'm not normally a cologne wearer but that's probably because I haven't found the right one yet!
ReplyDeleteI do have a bottle of Mugler Cologne though which I wear on the odd occasion - my three year old son tends to wear this one the most to!
Thanks for hosting this draw!
I'm not a generally a cologne person but I do like to use citrus scents in the hot summer months.
ReplyDeletei do wear cologne but not all the time usually in winter
ReplyDeleteAt the moment my favourite is either Endymion or Hammam Bouquet, both by Penhaligons. Worn in the evenings all year round
ReplyDeleteI don't own any colognes... yet. :)
ReplyDeletehello! colognes?? i dont wear that, but well....oh ive got Demeter's, Gin+Tonic is my fav, and Wet garden and paperback are sitting in my toilet :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a cologne person but I like Eau d'Orange Verte by Hermes.
ReplyDeleteI did not know much about cologne until recently when I discovered the limited edition cologne versions of the 4 Miller Harris originals. I am a huge MH fan and am in love with these scents as well!
ReplyDeleteI only have one "official" bottle of cologne. Cologne a la Francaise! I wear it in summer...hmmm...maybe I should dig it out now and try it! I also discovered Eau de Sisley 3 this past summer, and LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the draw!!!
eau dynamisante and angeliques sous la pluie are my two favorite colognes. ED is the one i can always wear, and fall in love with each time i wear it.
ReplyDeleteI love cologne, especially on a hot summer day. I got my first bottle of 4711 more than 40 years ago and still love it. Thanks to you and Andy for the Advent giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI wear cologne (perfume) to complete an outfit - it's that final step in getting dressed that finishes off the look. Perfume sets the mood of the day. A black top and jeans is a friday staple, but something crisp and modern for day at the office or sweet and clean for friends or spicy sexy for a date. It helps set a mood..an undercurrent.
ReplyDeleteLately I've been wearing Bal a Versailles in the cologne form....but I'd love to try Andy's cologne.
ReplyDeleteI dont't wear colognes but I'm very curious about an Andy's cologne
ReplyDeleteI have recently (last 6 months) realized that when done well, I love Colognes. But as my perfume budget is incredibly small (like maybe 1 bottle a year at the moment) I haven't been able to really find a favorite, or get a big bottle so I could start wearing cologne regularly. I think that I would really enjoy wearing it whenever I don't want to think too much about fragrance .. so it would replace my fragrance-free days, and I would also enjoy it at any time when I was unsure of what would be appropriate for the situation, or when I need a pick-me-up. It would be all year round for me, though I might indulge more frequently in warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteAs for ones that I like ... well I know this was a controversial fragrance, but I fell hard and fast for Serge Lutens L'Eau. For me, it was the difference between something done over and over repetitively, and then smelling it done *right*.
Well, it really depends on the mood. Sometimes just need a fresh citrusy aura. Wearing many of them - cologne by Thierry Mugler, all three by Hermes or some selfmade.
ReplyDeleteOn a hot summer day, for me, nothing else will do. They feel fresh and lift my mood so I stop thinking about the sticky heat. Eau de Guerlain is a favorite as are other cologne-ish type scents, i.e., Eau de Rochas, O de Lancome, etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd I loooove when I happen upon someone wearing Guerlain's Eau de Cologne Imperiale as it reminds me of my father.
I would love to try yours, Andy!
I don't wear cologne too often, as it fades away too fast. Sometimes I use some just before going to bed. And in the summer when it's very hot.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear cologne too often, but when I do I wear 4711 or Clarins Eau Dynamisante. I would love to try Andy's cologne!
ReplyDeleteWow...I don't typically wear colognes, but have been tempted by Liz Zorn's. Andy's sounds simple and appealing. Would love to try this!!
ReplyDeleteI wear cologne mostly with warmer weather as lot of other people do.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is AdP Colonia, followed by Eau de Gentiane Blanche by Hermes.
I am too in love eau de parfums to wear a cologne but i love to smell them on men, especially Dior scents like Fahrenheit
ReplyDeletei'm not much of a cologne person but i appreciate everything i have tried from Tauer until this point, would love to sample cologne du maghreb.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine life without fragrance. I change up several times a day, usually in the winter an incense scent summer, florals and citrus. Seasons Greetings to All!
ReplyDeleteLike many people on here I use perfume more often than cologne, however in summer I do like Trumper's Ajaccio Violets or Alt Innsbruck which has a really nice spicy tabacco'y sillage. Would live to try Andy's new creation...
ReplyDeleteI am not generally a cologne person, but I wore Demeter's Dirt last summer when it was too much to put on anything heavier. I would love to try Andy's, since he's kind of a genius.
ReplyDeleteIn general, I don't wear Colognes, but instead prefer perfumes that center on incense, leather, sandalwood and/or vetiver. However, I do on occasion wear Eau Sauvage, which is really the only Cologne I do wear, and of all things strange, I prefer to wear it in the summer while cutting the grass. Beats me why, but I do. I am really excited about Andy's creation and would love to experience his interpretation!
ReplyDeleteI rarely wear cologne myself, but I enjoy Thierry Mugler Cologne, Eau Sauvage, and Clarins Eau Dynamisante. Would love to try this, I like Andy's way with citrus.
ReplyDeleteI like very much eau de cologne. 4711 is one of them. Then eau de toilette very fresh would be Azur by Puig. I like discovering these light scents that i enjoy using after a short shower or in summer. 1916 by Myrurgia is one of my favourites too!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite cologne is Chanel's Eau de Cologne. Lasts a little while on me, thankfully.
ReplyDeleteI wear them (mostly in the winter, strangely). I love Escale a Portofino and the Hermes many colognes (Pamplemousse Rose is great). I'd love to try the Tauer version of a winter cologne!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cologne is the Comme des Garcons Vettiveru. I'd love to try Andy's cologne. It has to be awesome for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm not so familiar with Cologne as a genre, but sometimes wear Knize 10, which is of course a classic. I would be thrilled to get a chance to sniff what Andy makes of it, it does sound gorgeous. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love cologne in summer. No need to thing, just spray; I love Diptyque l'eau de l'eau, and also am partial to the old Mor Jasmine Tea.
ReplyDeleteI love cologne in summer. No need to thing, just spray; I love Diptyque l'eau de l'eau, and also am partial to the old Mor Jasmine Tea.
ReplyDeletecolognes can most certainly be used year-'round, I daresay. It all depends on the scent and the occasion.
ReplyDeleteIs there ever a time that Acqua di Parma would be unsuitable? Not likely!
I use colognes only before going to bed. For day wear I prefer longer lasting fragrances.
ReplyDeleteI do like cologne, mostly in summer. The ones I tend to wear most often are L'ea de l'eau, by Diptyque, and Acqua di Colonia by SMN.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this contest!
All year round, for me. I especially like Guerlain Imperiale, and Eau de Guerlian!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas,
Carole
Cologne is usually reserved for spring or summer days with the occasional wear in the colder months. Some favorites so far are Guerlain Cologne du 68 and Dior Cologne Blanche. And I'm still hoping to win Andy's of course to add it to the list!
ReplyDeleteI wear occasionally cologne in the summer. Mostly Guerlains Du Coq and Imperiale. I wish they would last longer... but they are what they are.
ReplyDeleteI love Guerlain's Imperial-preferably vintage.
ReplyDeleteAmazingly, I have not really tried any colognes! (Except maybe the tiny kid-friendly splash bottles I had a small child...) I must remedy this somehow, and hope to try Andy's version! And whatever cologne I try (especially if it's Andy's) I must share with my boyfriend, as well! :-)
ReplyDeleteDuring the hot sticky summer months, I really like Clarins Eau Dynamisante. It's quite refreshing. I keep entering all of Andy's give-aways on various blogs, but so far no luck. Keeping fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteThe Chanel Cologne is pretty good, probably my favorite. It is pricy but is great.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear cologne. If I had to, my first choice would probably be 4711 by Muelhens.
ReplyDeleteI wear colognes only in warm weather. My favorite is Monsoon Season.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm a lurking perfume newbie who really loves this blog! I usually only break out of my comment shyness when there is a giveaway like this involved (I'm still in the "must smell everything" stage) :) The only cologne I own (and love) at this point is Bulgari Red Tea - so nice in the summer!
ReplyDeleteI love cologne's and do wear them year round. My favorite - AG Eau d'Hadrien.
ReplyDeleteDagney @ MUA
I do wear colognes, mostly in the summertime. My current favorite is Comme des Garcons Series 8 Energy C in Lime, it is sooo refreshing :)
ReplyDeleteI really love Hierbas de Ibiza, it is amazingly refreshing but is a cologne and it dissapears really quick, but it is an awesome cologne.
ReplyDeleteI do wear colognes, but usually in the summer. Sometimes I dab a little on just before a plane ride (very close to my face and very sparingly so that it doesn't affect others). It's nice to have a little freshness during those long hours.
ReplyDeleteI do love cologne on a hot Texas summer day! My favorite Cologne is Guerlain 68 :)
ReplyDeleteI do wear cologne, and it is a year round thing for me. My current favorite is Chanel Eau de Cologne - love it!
ReplyDeleteI do wear colognes year round. It's hard to choose a favorite, but my trusted standby is Bulgari Black. I find the tea note very comforting.
ReplyDeleteI wear cologne mostly in warmer weather and Guerlain Col. 68 is a big fav!
ReplyDeleteGuerlain's Cologne du 68 is sublime and works in any weather, love it. And would love to try Andy's!
ReplyDeleteI very much like Eau de Cologne from Les Exclusifs de Chanel. In the summer of course.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear a lot of cologne - I prefer something that lasts a bit longer. Maybe I'll try one in the summer when I need a 'lighter' scent
ReplyDelete4711 is a staple of my aunt and whenever I smell it, I think of her
ReplyDeleteI generally go for heavier, more potent fragrances but in the heat of summer a light, crisp cologne really hits the spot. I love Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune, Jo Malone Lime, Basil & Mandarin, and Mugler's Cologne.
ReplyDeleteIn Summer I often wear Jean Naté eau de cologne. While my taste runs to darker perfumes in Winter, how pleasurable it is then also to accompany the shorter days with the option of enjoying one sparkling eau de cologne in the morning, followed by another later in the day. When I use eau de cologne I am reminded of the ladies and gentlemen who precede us by centuries, whose variety of scents excited themselves as well as those around them. There is magic in finding new aspects of ourselves in a new scent.
ReplyDeleteI wear them mainly in warm weather - 4711, Thierry Mugler Cologne and L'ARtisan L'eau de L'Artisan are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI only wore colognes when I was a little girl, sneaking it away from the dressing tables. So, I think Le Cologne du Maghreb would be a good start for adult life!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I do wear cologne year-round, but change the style by season. My favorite one is L'air Marocain by Tauer - it smells really good on me.
ReplyDeleteEau d'Hermes is probably my favorite scent in the cologne genre.
ReplyDeleteI use cologne all year when I need a
ReplyDeletepick me up. Guerlain imperial and 4711 are the best.
I wear them to refresh myself, whenever that may be. Eau Sauvage is reached for the most often.
ReplyDeleteI don't like colognes that much, I prefer something more long lasting, but if I have to pick a favorite I'll go with the Chanel Cologne.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy colognes year-round, though I definitely wear them more in warmer weather, and in the warmest weather, often only colognes will do. My favorite for year-round wearability is Parfums de Nicolai Balle de Match. Chanel Eau de Cologne might be the overall winner, though.
ReplyDeleteI wear them in summer. If I find one I like enough that may change. Caron's eau de reglisse is interesting because it's like nothing else in my collection, so it gets quite a bit of wear. But 4711 is very refreshing.
ReplyDeleteI do wear colognes, in the summer time! I have a mini of Eau de Guerlain, and a vintage bee bottle of Eau Imperiale---the bright citrus juxtaposed with the civit in the base is a strangely wonderful combo.
ReplyDeleteI love sheer colognes with warm undertones like Malle's L'Eau d'Hiver. Also, surprisingly, Pacifica's Indian Coconut Nectar has a real cologne-like quality, what with all the vetiver they've thrown in!
ReplyDeleteAnd, as an ode to the 90s (and innovative perfumery) I do wear cK One in the summer!

ReplyDeleteI love Chanel Pour Monsieur. Always in summer, never in winter.
ReplyDeleteAlso I like the difference between that and the Eau de Cologne in the Exclusifs
I'm not a cologne person either, but on a hot summer day nothing is better than Bvlgari Au the Vert
ReplyDeleteMy summer standby is a bottle of 4711, kept in the refrigerator. But for a year round cologne, I'm considering a bottle of Atelier Orange Sanguine.
ReplyDeleteI do wear cologne, and it is more of a summer thing. I have loved Clarins Eau Dynamisante, but the combination of ingredients in Maghreb sound amazing, every ingredient being my "favorite"! Thanks!
ReplyDeletemy summer/fall vetiver fest, heavily featuring andy's dance and some vintage guerlain, is over and i'm back in incense-and-resin land. today i smelled serge noire for the first time. perfect for a cold december day.
ReplyDeleteI live in California, so enjoy colognes year round. Favorites are Bvlgari Black and Thierry Mugler.
ReplyDelete-- david
My favorite is Sere Lutens MKK followed by Detchema by Revillion.
ReplyDeleteI rarely wear a fragrance for more than 1 day. I love the variety of changing scents daily.
dremybluz@aol.com
Jo Malone - very floral and spicy :)
ReplyDeleteThe only cologne that I own is Pomegranate Noir by Jo Malone... I like its astringent freshness.
ReplyDeleteHeeley's Sel Marin...all year round.
ReplyDeleteI've been on eau de cologne -hunt since last summer, and have mostly come across discontinued gems like the Institut Tres Bien -trio and L'Artisan Fleur d'Oranger 2007 (although it's not a proper "eau de cologne"). I do prefer them in the warmer months, but for example Cologne a la Francaise works beautifully year round.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI mostly wear cologne in spring and summer. One of my favs is Eau de Gloire by Parfum d'Empire.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletewhoops! I forgot to say whether I wear colognes, whether it is a seasonal thing or year-round staple for me and what is my favorite representative of a cologne genre.
ReplyDeleteI do wear colognes all year round and I love Amouge.
The Eaux from Parfum de Nicolai (Eau Exotique, Eau d'Ete) are probably the closest I come to a cologne staple. Great for summer, but not a year-round thing for me.
ReplyDeleteI wear cologne nearly every day year 'round! Guerlain Imperiale is my go to scent although Chanel Cologne and Frapin L'Humaniste are quite lovely.(and for some reason I'm having trouble logging in to my account. Arr!)
ReplyDeleteI have never been able to find a cologne that was interesting enough to wear. They're too light become lifeless after no time. The closest thing I have found is Mandragore Pourpre by AG. If anyone can do a cologne I can live with, it's Andy! Please enter me.
ReplyDeleteIt's a perfume especially reserved for special occasions, when one wishes to impress. Le Cologne du Maghreb is very important to me!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I don't wear colognes, but would like to try.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice evening!
I forgot to mention two great favorites: L'Artisan Fleur de Carrotte and Czech & Speake Neroli. The Carrotte should be splashed liberally, but I hoard it.
ReplyDeleteI don't really know much about colognes, but would like to try one.
ReplyDeleteI don't have many colognes, but I have to say that I really enjoy the powdery patchouli of Eau de Rochas. It's a refreshing start to just about any day, and the patchouli blends so well with many of my masculines. I would love to give Maghreb a try though!
ReplyDeleteMy traditional one is Eau D'Orange Verte, but I am wearing Chanel Sycamore these days . . .
ReplyDeleteI like cologne in the summer, when it's hot and sticky. My favorites these days are Mugler and Bulgari Thé Vert...but I love everything Andy makes, so I have high hopes for Maghreb!!
ReplyDeleteI liked Institut Tres Bien, while it lasted. Now, Eau de Guerlain.
ReplyDeleteHi Marina,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the draw. I love colognes and yes, I mostly wear them in warmer weather.
I have a LONG list of loves, but I especially enjoy Diptyque L'Eau de Tarocco and L'Eau de l'Artisan.
I wear cologne mostly in the summer; I generally use an old bottle of 4711 when I do.
ReplyDeleteI use colognes year-round-- I find a fresh citrus-floral works equally well to break up the doldrums of winter as it does to bring relief in the heat of summer. My most-used cologne is Murray & Lanman's Florida Water (Agua de Florida). This fragrance (the oldest continuously produced cologne in North America, dating from the early 1800's) adds a spicy dose of cinnamon, clove, and bay to the basic eau de cologne. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI wear colognes all year long, on the days when I'm undecided what perfume to wear. I love Eau de Fleurs de Cédrat, Guerlain, I also used La Prairie Cellular Energizing Spray, which is sort of cologne as well.
ReplyDeleteI do love 4711 and Clubman Cologne.
ReplyDeleteEau de Guerlain and 4711 - love these two.
ReplyDeleteThe Bigarade is lovely, although I prefer the Concentree myself... And if I could afford it, I'd spring for a big honking bottle of Chanel Cologne for those sticky summer days (they seem so far away this chilly day!).
ReplyDeleteI love to wear colognes, especially in summer, but the East of Spain, where I live, is a zone which has many warm months and colognes are enjoyable even in some winter days.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite one is the Spanish classic Álvarez Gómez Colonia Concentrada, which now is starting to be known in the rest of the world.
I have a pretty little glass parfum bottle given to me by my mother and I am not sure what the parfume is but I think it is chanel. My favorite parfume is a floral oriental.
ReplyDeleteMy special parfum I will never forget is Flambeau that was done by Faberge in the 60s. They do not make this any longer. :(
Cologne is whenever one needs a pick-me-up or a cool-down !! Eau de Guerlain or Hadrien, please. But we know Andy`s will give all others a royal run for the roses - and he will win!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to use a real cologne but all the ones I've read about sound so interesting! Definitely sounds like a summer choice for me though - probably cooled in the fridge first. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, if I win, lindalee at hotmail dot com
Year round, love florientals on women!
ReplyDeleteI really love Acqua di Genova, especially on warm days. Other than that, bring on the heavy duty EDPs!
ReplyDeleteI actually don't use cologne's as of yet. I figure that when I do, it'll be in the hot humid heat of summer. My Jardin sur le nil reminds me of a cologne though, on me it's very light and refreshing. I hope to gather some more like this for summertime.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Acqua Di Parma Colonia. The spinoffs are pretty decent also, but not as good as the original.
ReplyDeleteI wear fragrance everyday. I wont even leave my house without some type of fragrance, and I keep samples in my purse. My favorite type of fragrance will have to be floral...I love FM Carnal Flower. That is a good representative of my favorite smell. Chypre's are nice too!
ReplyDeleteI wear cologne all the time because I live in a very warm climate. Too many to list...
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a cologne-wearer, but among the lighter scents, I enjoy Angeliques Sous La Pluie. Philosykos is my other standard when I want something cooling.
ReplyDeleteCitrus and woods? Yummy! I generally prefer longer-lasting, low-sillage scents, so I haven't gotten much experience with colognes.
ReplyDeleteCount me among those who generally prefer cologne in warmer weather. However, a new favorite that works for me year-round is Francis Kurkdjian's cuddly "Cologne pour le Soir." I know cologne usually means citrus, though, and I would love to try Andy's " Le Cologne du Maghreb." It sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI don't usually wear cologne but I'd love to try Andy's.
ReplyDeleteI've tried so many and haven't found one i love,but, i do like 4711, and Goutal's Duel sometimes. Otherwise, I go without perfume mostly in summer...but, it's great to read what other's like - I have to make a list! But, hopefully, it will be du Maghreb that I will have next summer!!! Thank you! Rachel h.
ReplyDeleteI love colognes in general, but my favorite is Creed Windsor. I wore it a lot last holiday season, and am craving it nearly every day since Thanksgiving. It is one of the only colognes I know that is more appropriate, imo, for winter than summer.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty much a cologne-in-summer kinda gal; tons of 4711 and gasp! Jean Nate in the dog days of summer - also, Marc Jacobs Lemon is a great refresher! Somehow the need just isn't there in freezing temps!

My favorite cologne would probably be Bigarade Concentree although I also love Eau de Lalique.
ReplyDeleteI wear them all year round as they are fresh and uplifting! My current favourites are Blossom Eau de Cologne by Roxana of Illuminated Perfume and Zagara by S Maria Novella.
ReplyDeleteI quite like Atelier Gran Neroli, though I feel its a little more masculine than I would like.
ReplyDeleteI wear colognes year around...i must say, my current favorites are FM Angeliques and many of the Dior. I wear what i am in the mood for and if that means wearing a cologne in the winter...so'll be it.
ReplyDeleteI am not usually a cologne person, but I think Andy's version might convert me!
ReplyDeleteI don't wear cologne at all, but I am open to becoming a cologne convert. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI wear colognes mostly during the summer. Like the traditional citrus over a woodsy base kind of scents.
ReplyDeleteI wear the JMs all year around!

ReplyDeleteI've never worn cologne before, but I've ready a lot of entries lately on perfume blogs about some classics and it's caused quite an itch to try some - and I'd love Andy's to be one of my firsts! :) I would think cologne would be good any time of the year. Definitely in Spring/Summer, but year-round works too, any time you want a lighter burst of scent (especially of the citrus variety!).

ReplyDeleteMy favorite colognes are: Thierry Mugler 's Cologne, Dior's (now sadly discontinued) Cologne Blanche, Diptyque's L'Eau de Tarocco, and Gaultier's Monsieur Eau du Matin. And I'd love to try Tauer's!
ReplyDeletethe beauty of cologne.....acqua di parma, eau de cartier, chanel les exclusifs eau de c., patricia de nicolai's, and (far from being a simple creature) Eau d'Hermes. Mugler's cologne in the real heat.I almost forgot to mention L'eau d'hiver, that ,abeit not a cologne, gives an echo of the genre.
ReplyDeleteBut Andy's rendition puzzles me. I'm ready to wear it, unsniffe, as anything done and 'performed' by him.
Yes, please enter me for the draw. Many thanks.

I wear 4711 and Clarins Eau Dynamisante in the summer (usually the only time I wear cologne) - Unfortunately colognes tend to fade so quickly on me (though Andy's may have more staying power)
ReplyDeletehow could i forget also Eau d'Hadrien? And that old Eau Sauvage?
ReplyDeleteI love colognes usually in the summer but sometimes will also do it in the winter when I need a lift. Cologne means neroli to me and some of the best would be Eau Savage and 4711 =)
ReplyDeleteI like to wear cologne all year round as it is is completely suitable for southern Califonia. My favorite is either Guerlain's Cologne du Parfumeur or Atelier Cologne's Trefle Pur.

ReplyDelete4711 from the fridge in the summer. Ahhh...
ReplyDeleteEau de Guerlain all the way! More of a hot summer thing for me.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new scent, Andy.

My favorite cologne is L'Eau D'Duo. It's a minimalist, all weather blend of pettigrain, rose and oud. Although I generally think of colognes as being inappropriate for women, the heavy dose of rose makes me feel comfortable spritzing this scent whenever I need a lift.
ReplyDeleteNo need to enter me in the giveaway, but I look forward to hearing more about Le Cologne du Maghreb.
I generally wear colognes only in spring and summertime... and my favorite is Eau d'Orange Vert, at the moment. :)
