Most unpleasant people ever, except at the Malle counter where they're usually pretty nice. Hate shopping at Barneys, really.

I have Yatagan, L'Anarchiste and 3rd Man, but sold Pour Un Homme because I didn't like anything about it. I thought the Lavender opening was too harsh and the vanillic drydown was too sickly. 3rd Man on the other hand is a masterpiece, an absolutely beautiful classic.

My best rec for buying department store frags is Nordstrom. If you ask, they'll give whatever they have to you. And trust me, they have plenty in the back rooms to give.

I bet the Sisley's folks are pushing hard...the new Eau de Sisleys are too expensive and they are becoming available for less online....who wants to pay full price? not me! Good idea opening the Bandit. There's been so many issues with Bandit lately. You did good.

Apparently the Bergdorf's men's store and Barneys haven't received the memo, however -- still snooty as ever!

The nicest part was that they threw in a free full-size bottle of the body lotion too, so I don't feel so bad about paying the department store price for it. Oh, whoops, I forgot that I ordered Baume du Doge from Aedes (they were out of it). Nevertheless, they're both things that I was planning to buy anyway, although we'll see if my new samples ignite any fresh lust!
