    There is one in each country's list that I do not understand: FFG – Diesel Fuel For Life and CFA – Elle Yves Saint Laurent.

    Probably the only one I'd vote for is the Prada.

    I like most of them, and even if I cannot wear them all, I appreciate the way they're done. But then again, I am a TF fan :) I'd like to know what you think when you get around to testing them.

    Cannot wait for his new frag, it's turning out to be quite a long wait :)

    the TFPB is just a perfect mix of beautiful fragrances, luxury packaging and perfect marketing. in hamburg you have to be on a waiting list-imagine! just to spend 140 euro for one of them. too much for me. gorgeous alos the big bottles fpr about 400 euro, where you can use the EDP as a splash. might smell like a brothell but nevermind… i love the TF but i was not happy with hes last adds where women=sexhungry sl***s.

    Smartylicious, not sure I ever will — too cheap to pay for samples, and didn't like the 4 I smelled on paper — I know it's heresy, but thought they smelled like unfinished mods for other scents. But who knows, maybe samples will drop in my lap one day :-)

    Too much for me too, and kind of think the hype is all because of the packaging & marketing & not the scents…guessing that if they were from some unknown name, there wouldn't be a waiting list. But I'm a cynic so ignore me :-)

    if you want to sell something, sell it with sex and/or make it very expensive and limited. it works obviously. i agree on the hype, but the scents are nice. i would rather spend it on l'artisan parfumeur, the bottles are nicer and the scents also, at least when i think of chasse aux papillons. the common german just loves stuff like boss or armani, stuff that everyone likes, perfume fast-food. so it is something that TF won a prize.

    I love Prada and once I have sampled Daisy and to be honest it was a very nice surprise, there must be some apple in Daisy but it is more like a slice of apple in a glass of the finest sparking champagne. Yes that is how I would describe Daisy: like a wonderful champagne that one carries through a spring garden in early morning dew.

    Very pleasant.

    Elle and Diesel cannot even come close to Prada and Marc Jacobs.

    Agree: sex/expensive/hard to get == success!

    I'd rate the Elle way above the Diesel too, but then, I really did not like the Diesel (either the men's or the women's).
