As I'm going through my collection and slowly revisiting and reviewing fragrances, I decided to tackle what is probably my most off-beat and obscure but "mainstream" fragrance:

Shiseido Men

There have been several threads on this one:

Here is a close-up of the bottle:

Very cool. It's somewhat prism-like in person, and magnifies the sprayer from different angles.

It's not that expensive - here is the Shiseido shopping site page, as well as the translation:

There was a nice review of this, years ago, on NST:

I'll talk about the scent itself in subsequent posts. Does anybody else have this, or sniffed this? It's somewhat more available now than it was in 2006, now that there are export-import stores and world-wide shippers moving these things around. I got mine on a trip to Japan - picked it up in a "mega-store" (grocery / pharmacy / dry goods / Walmart / Giant Eagle / Target) in a smaller city. However, looking for images, I found them in several online stores.
