Findings at TJ Maxx, Ross and Marshall's

I have a sneaking suspicion that all three of these discount stores are owned by the same company. They all have the same setup inside, systems and products.

Here are the fragrances I have purchased from these three stores over the past couple of months along with a mini review.


GF Ferre Lui - spicy and reminds me of Christmas
Oxygene Homme - fresh and spicy
Spark - honey and booze, synthetic
Paco Rabanne pour Homme - classic lavender and mossy
Drakkar Noir - this is the 80's
Paul Smith Extreme - cool packaging, nice scent
Everlast Original 1910 - the best bargain out of all these
Lacoste (original) - lemon and sandalwood, screams sporty polo shirt
Lucky Number 6 - a competent evening scent that not many have heard about
Azzaro Pure Lavender - ugly as a perfume but great as a room spray
Tumulte pour Homme - cedar, cedar, cedar! get your cedar here! also cool packaging

Most were purchased at $15 or less. I feel as if Everlast Original 1910 is the most interesting of them all. It smells like you're put on cologne after a workout but it's not totally skunky.

Everlast Original 1910

I was a bit leary on this one. Another sample vial. I was surprised and disappointed in some regards but overall it's a decent casual/work fragrance.

I'm not sure what kind of smell this is supposed to be. Some sites say it's a citrus/fruity. I claim it's more oriental with citrus. I know there's tonka bean in there! I like tonka bean for some reason.

Everlast Original 1910 partially doesn't live up to it's name. It doesn't last long on my skin. It comes on strong and dies within 3 hours. I can barely smell it but it's there. A spicy citrus note that's lingering.

The graphic that was on the sample vial card turned me off. A man without his shirt, wit his hairless back showing. Underwear riding a little low to display the Everlast logo on his boxers with a woman's hands down the back of his boxers. Butt squeezing right there. Made me feel uncomfortable. Luckily the scent doesn't reflect this graphic. Everlast is a boxing gear company. The graphic is to reflect that women like men who are strong and beat other men up for sport I guess?
