Hi Chris,

I received the samples yesterday. Thanks again for the opportunity to test these. I do believe I smelled an Imperial Millesime type so I will be testing that one first. I do have a question. Since these scents are in the AM mix, how many sprays would it take from the tester to match what would come out of a normal bottle of AM? Im sure the spray heads release a different amount of volume. I figure I might as well give AM a proper review while I am testing the scents. I just want to be acurate about the dosing. Thanks again.

Sample A: Went on with a waft of woody vanilla, a hint of pine. Dried down to a mellow vanilla scent. I didn't love the scent but I found it somewhat pleasant and not offensive. I'll consult the wife when I get a chance

Sample B: I love this scent's fresh green tea & citrus top notes, but it dried down to a leather scent that ended up being a little more cologny than I might have liked.

Sample F smells very close to a Creed scent. It contains that very nice "inky" money like scent. It dried down to a very fresh, soapy, masculine smell. The projection of this one is a bit weak but I really like the scent.

Sample C: A little powdery. Kind of reminds me of La Nuit De L'Homme. Rather nice.

I find sample B to be a bit floral. Especially after dry down. This scent could be uni-sex. I dont find it very masculine. It also seems to dissappear after an hour and a half or so. Longevity and projection are not a strongsuit of this scent. Im not very fond of this one.

And I agree with dbot, you do get tea leves but the dry down is vey ferny.

Sample E is my favorite of the scents. The scent was very powdery upon application but after the dry down, it became a fresh, clean scent. I received a few compliments from women at work while wearing this scent. I'd prefer a muskier, spicy scent but prefer the scent of Sample E out of the entire pack.

I spent the entire day with Sample B. This scent does not seem to hold up at at all. I did not notice anything that would prove that it had good sillage. The scent stayed close to the body and all but disappeared from the skin after 2 hours. There were no compliments received. My friend gave it a whiff and expressed she really wasnt a fan of it.

Sample D: I think this is my favorite so far. Nice mellow scent with some green and woodsy notes. Maybe a little on the sweet side.
