Smell Like A Starwalker

You got your Starwalker fountain pen. You got your Timewalker chronograph. What's next? Starwalker eau de toilette, anyone?

With notes of bergamot, bamboo, ginger, and amber, Montblanc created the Starwalker fragrance so that you exude "luxury, quality and refinement".

Smells boring.

Ebay's Sweet Smell Of Success

eBay's turning out to be a major player in the beauty business.

The online giant sold an average of 6,700 makeup products, 4,400 perfumes and colognes and 5,100 skin care products daily in the second quarter of 2005.

For men's fragrance, the top ten brands are:

1. Calvin Klein
2. Armani
3. Ralph Lauren
4. Dolce & Gabbana
5. Hugo Boss

6. Davidoff
7. Chanel
8. Liz Claiborne
9. Creed
10. Aramis

Liz Claiborne in Top 10 for men's fragrance? I find that hard to imagine.

My current two favourites are nowhere on the list. They are Sentiment Pour Homme by Escada and Z Zegna by Ermenegildo Zegna.
