Hi Beard Man,

Most of them last around 4 to 6 hours. I think if you buy the "splash on" aftershaves they tend to last longer. But you really have to search for them nowadays. Or if you're ever in Hong Kong (Issimoto Street, or just tell the taxi guy Perfume Street) have it made for you, costs about 30% of the normal price and quality wise 300% better then the real thing. It's fun watching them actually make it and you can choose out of thousands of aftershave types. Or have your own aftershave / perfume designed for you, takes a while but you have something unique.

I know there is a shop I like on the groundfloor when you are facing M&S, on the righthand side...does both men and women, bit like Massimo as well..but no idea what it's called...
It's on the first floor but towards the other side...On the same side as PUma, Vero Moda, Nautica, Calvin Klein, etc...

thanks alot for your valuble input

the only issue is i am a man with beard so i don't shave it.

but you draw my attention to the fact that perfume makers don't manfature things as they used to do in the past.

which explains why i have some perfumes in my car and office as well

in reture i would advice you to buy a perfume called (life is) or (tobaco) from the body shop

both are lovely

but not more than 4 hours

Will try Saccour too...
Massimo is part of Azadea group, ergo, they will not put the good stuff on sale, and will start off at 20-30% at first, then completely change the collection in the shop into 1-2 seasons old collection in order to liquidate it...

In arabic we have 100 names for the lions but each name is indicating a trait beside the original name of it.

The majority of these words are derived from bedouin culture and terminology though...There are more than 15 in your examples that I haven't even seen before...Especially I like the ha"zabr"...

I haven't bought anything from Massimo in a sale yet. I bought a couple of shirts and suits recently - full price. I liked the stuff and moreover needed some office wear, so didn't bother waiting for the sale.

Well, it's during the sale that they also bring in part of the new collection...

no they are comming from traditional Arabic as bedouin are not even using them.

and as i said before most of the other names are more like Traits of lions

for example

Alabbas .. it is not just any lion .. the meaning of it is the lion which scare other lions
