    Never mind this – where on earth can I buy Strictly Private?
    It was launched last month and I can't find it anywhere.
    Anybody got any clues?

    I have a feeling it will get here eventually, but if you're in a rush you could order it from Douglas in Germany.

    Sorry about this, but I sniffed Strictly Private today, and really liked it! It's woodsy/musky and certainly wearable by women. If it's in the UK, I'm guessing it won't be long before it's across the pond.

    One of my Basenotes colleagues has got a bottle. He's in Holland but his father brought it in for him from Germany.

    I've emailed P&G via the Baldessarini website requesting stockist information and whether they could send me any samples. I'll let you know what happens.

    Oh and I might try this Seychelles thing as well. Although I don't remember being that struck on the Del Mar original. I have the original Baldessarini which I love as well as Ambre which I also like.

    Hmm, just chiming in to say that I may have to buy this as a gift for a friend back east who loves the Seychelles and has been there a few times. I've tried to talk him into breaking his habit of ONLY wearing Issey Miyake, and the fact that he might love having something with “Seychelles” in the name might be a good way to make some progress there. LOL

    Mmmn, yes, I'd like to know who he is as well. Nice to see a mature face.

    Take watermelon out of this and I like the sound of the juice too.

    I tried Strictly Private the other day (House of Fraser, City, London) and really liked it but then it hit me – Iso e super! And Robin I remember you saying that once you'd started recognising the note the stuff kept cropping up everywhere…….

    Yes, it's sort of best to try to forget what Iso E Super smells like, LOL…

    OMG, that face made me forget about perfume (for at least a minute). How, um, stimulating to see a man who isn't :

    a) mostly naked

    b) devoid of discernible body hair

    c) long haired, pierced, tatooed and devoid of body fat

    d) more feminine than I am (and I'm a “girly girl)

    To quote Oliver Twist “please sir, I want some more” !!!!!

    Not sure but he might actually have long hair…might just be pulled back here. Saying that because I have the vaguest memory of seeing him in another Baldessarini ad w/ longer hair…but I do have a terrible memory. Anyway, still agree w/ your general point!

    This sounds great but not sure about the watermelon. Perhaps it is faint as the other notes sound like they would kill watermelon. I must give this a sniff. I also like the ad. It is nice to see an ad without a barely pubescent male wearing very little.

    Oh no! Say it ain't sooooo. . . . Tuberose in a fragrance and long hair on a man . . . two absolute deal breakers for me. Well, I guess it's back to the '80's for me and Tom Selleck as the Marlborough man! Thanks for the (brief) fantasy . . . .

    Kevin remembered the ad:

    I still say that's a darned good looking man. But I like longish hair.

    It sounds too aquatic for me, but agree on the ad. Nice.
