    Every new perfume endorsed by Tom Brady comes with the signature Appalachian Fur note and a home pregnancy test!

    And what sort of fur? A skunk? A possum? A skunk/possum/raccoon accord? What? I want to know.

    LOL — Appalachian fur, isn't that a crack up?

    And what the hell is “bemi resin”? Is there even any such thing? At first glance I thought, “Well, obviously they mean 'elemi resin'”, because I already know what elemi is (it's a tropical tree resin with a sort of medicinal citrus-licorice-wood aroma), and I haven't found anything that dispels my first impression, which is that whoever wrote that press release is kind of an idiot.
    Still, I want to try Stetson Rich Suede, because the original is awesomely sexy and maybe lightning strikes twice.

    You know, I almost put a [sic] after bemi too, but hey, what do I know, maybe it's some resin I've never heard of.

    Not a press release though — just the copy on the kohl's website. Don't know who is responsible for it, but I thank them for the joy of Appalachian fur balsam — it's even better than my white muck!

    I hope the sample is a vial, not those crappy blotted towelettes like Covet sent out. Then again, it is Stetson….
    This sounds interesting. I still haven't sniffed a leather perfume (other than Kelly Caleche, but that was once, months ago, and it wasn't really tough leather) so I'd be interested to know how this holds up to the others.

    All I can say is Tom Brady can blaze this trail any time…

    I hate those darned towelettes, but hate those little bubble thingies on a card even more. But bet you're right that it isn't a vial.

    There should be a comma between “bemi” and “balsam.” Thousands of years ago, the Appalachian fur, long extinct, was a small, hairy animal. It lived in the highlands of the Appalachian bemi forests and ate bemi leaves, thereby, ahem, *secreting* bemi resin onto the branches of the tree. Relict bemi resin looks much like amber and has a characteristically rich odor. There.

    Makes at least as much sense as “Florida orange dewdrops.” But it sounds good. I like these notes.

    Make that, a comma between “bemi” and “fur.” Duh.

    I bet you it's a tiny damp blotter sealed under foil on a postcard. That's how my “sample” of Lacoste Elegance arrived. Luckily, I managed to get a proper sample at the department store (it's wonderful).

    And I can't even get a sample of the new Stetson because they're available to US addresses only. Bastards.

    Florida Orange dewdrops? I guess that's plain old rainwater off an orange? LOL

    If it's that damp blotter, you're better off without. They're a waste of time.

    I don't have that much experience with the blotters; the Covet ones smelled pretty accurate.

    Wanna hear something funny? This is off the Stetson email I got back from filling out their form:

    “This email was sent to you by Stetson because you embody the Spirit of the American West.”

    I think otherwise, but….

    This is on sale for 11.50 at Target stores until the end of the month, and I am dying to buy. I do love the original Stetson, but my husband has banned it due to the subliminal influence of the damned ad campaign (“you smell like Tom Brady!”). But this sounds to me like a good, fun autumn scent. Osmanthus? Yeah! I'll admit I pried open the box and took a sniffy-sniff off the top, and I got a whiff of something warm and nice…

    Actually, I've checked. it's 'Appalachian Fir Balsam' and 'Elemi Resin'. But sorry, it's still 'Florida Orange Dewdrops' (it seems like a Kilian's fragrance). Appalachian fur and bemi resin could be for next Prix Eau Faux, no ?

    As is often the case, many of the “real” fragrance descriptions seem too silly to work in the Prix Eau Faux, LOL…

    And they still haven't fixed the notes on the Kohl's website.

    Glad I didn't see THIS list of notes before I bought a small 15 ml bottle at CVS today. (Appalachian fur? My God, can't we mountain people catch a darn break? People already think we're stupid…)

    I admit, I'm now on an osmanthus kick and thought I might like it. I DO. It's a little on the masculine side for me, but would probably be a great layering scent. (My Jardin sur le Nil from several hours ago is starting to fade, but one spray of Rich Suede under two of Jardin would probably smell terrific.)

    Actually, I'm already thinking about how I can convince The CEO of the house to wear this, so I can sniff it on male skin. Really nice.

    Hey, can you really smell the osmanthus?
