Splits you must get!

For those of you that are unfamiliar with what a split is. It means to “split”a fragrance bottle. Each person pays a percentage of the total cost. For example, a 200 ml bottle that cost $300, between 4 people, each person would get 50 ML decants for $75 each. Splits are a great way to get a decent amount of a fragrance you normally couldn’t afford on your own, or wanted to sample before purchasing. Splits range from 5ML usually up to 60 ML, some splitters may even have 100 ML decants.

Weekend for Men by Burberry Fragrance/Cologne Review (1997)

I take a sniff of Weekend for Men from the Burberry line. Burberry needed a fresh floral in the game to stay competitive against the CK One’s and L’eau D’Issey’s of the world. Did this one impress or flop ?

Timbuktu by L’Artisan Parfumeur Fragrance/Cologne Review (2004)

I take a sniff of Timbuktu from the L’Artisan Parfumeur line. Some call this a classic, some say it’s not worth the praise… time for me to give my 2 cents on Timbuktu.
