Product Recommendation - Scentiments.com

So a few friends and I are fans of cologne, not in that gold-chain, late night dancing at the local Black Angus kind of way. Rather, we just happen to be fond of colognes that smell good - I personally like sweet smells because you know, I'm street like that. Anyway, we've been buying cologne from Scentiments for a few years now and I've never been less than satisfied with my purchases and their service really is excellent. Delivery is fast. 
My personal strategy is to read magazines, go into some of those smelly stores with all of the colognes lined up, one in particular that rhymes with Lenora (haha) and then I come home and check to see if they have it online. Before you say "Designer Imposters", let me say that it's legit and I know because I've bought a bunch from them, as have my most scent-snobby friends! But don't take my word for it, the reason why their prices are cheaper is that either they buy a large volume from the manufacturer or they get the tester bottles and can sell them without the fancy packaging. 


From their site:
How is it that Scentiments.com's prices are so much lower department stores?
Scentiments.com buys and sells designer fragrances in volume so that we can negotiate the lowest price possible from the manufacturer, allowing us to pass those savings along to our customers. Our unbeatable prices and wide selection of brand name products make us the premiere online destination for affordable fragrances and skin care products. 

What is a tester?
We've all been in department stores and been approached by the fragrance salesperson offering to give us a sample spray, and you notice the line-up of testers on the shelf. Testers are made by the manufacturer to help promote their perfume products by allowing customers to try the fragrance before purchasing. Scentiments.com buys unused testers directly from the manufacturer - with the entire original quantity in the container. 

What sparked this was my weekend browsing/shopping trip and finding some of the colognes appealing but a bit high in price - I'm a father of four now, animals but still - they gotsta eat! I checked out Diesel Fuel for Life and it's a good $9 cheaper on the site and that's not even the best deal I've ever gotten - not even close. So, check them out. Tell them I sent you and I'm sure they'll say, "Who the hell?" but it'll be fun - try it.
