Tar is like a lighter version of it almost, and Patchouli 24 is less masculine because of the vanilla. Lee - Yes, I guess tar seldom feels right to wear, at least not in urban settings... Elle - I have to look for the tar in Dzing!, I get more elephant manure and hay and leather/cardboard. But I do love it. Have to sniff Eau du Fier as well... Judith - You should definitely try the CdG. Perhaps you will not find it sweet at all, it's cooler and therefore less sweet than the other two... Chaya - Thanks a billion! I definitely have to find a SNM store when I'm in Italy (very soon now) and sniff around... Tom - Oh I don't hate Patchouli 24, it's just that it's so strong and sweet and overpowering. I do enjoy the trace of it on my skin, it's mostly upon application it tends to get a bit nauseating or headache-inducing with it's smoky vanilla overdose. Martika - Lucky you! I didn't get that at all from Rien, I got muddy mixed headshop-aromas. Ina - Dark, sooty stuff sounds very nice. I wish more scents were sooty and smoky (without the added sugar)....

I love tar, too, and out of these three, I like Patch the best. I get no patch on my skin, though. It's pretty much all dark, sooty stuff. ;) Tove, I always enjoy your comparisons!

I loves you ! OK, so Lonestar ain't butch- but it's really adorable and snuggly. I like the others, too- But when I want to 'skank out ' my peeps, I usually resort to SMN's Peau d'Espagne, which is terrifying to man, at least. I am FORBIDDEN to wear this unless I'm on a desert island. It leaves Nostalgia in the dust, for honk... [I'll warrant that the gorgeous, hyacinthine, and rufous-haired Judith loves this animalic beauty too- she's a tigress/ goddess] Kisses to you, my pet ! You make me howl with your Svenska candor, lady.
I loves you !

I also like Lonestar Memories, but never tried the CdG--must do! And with Elle, I love Fier and Dzing.

I need to resniff to check for steak in custard (a repulsive visual image - thank you!). I love Lonestar, but wear it infrequently comapred to Tauer's other blockbuster.

I adore Lonestar Memories, but those other two seem a bit overpowering for me. I can barely wear Lonestar since I am a girl and it's so very manly, but I do wear it. I think I will leave the other two to the guys. They can wear the stuff around me all they want. :-) Wow. I adore Lonestar Memories, but those other two seem a bit overpowering for me.
