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.

Higher by Dior

This is nothing special. No wonder I got most of these samples for cheap or free. Higher Energy looks promising.

In other news, my local department store, Boscov's, was doing their inventory on Sunday. Maybe they'll have an inventory deduction sale? Or sell off their excess stock to places like TJ Maxx, Ross or Marshall's (my town has all three in a small radius).
