From Bond No. 9 I picked up a bottle of Silver Factory Andy Warhol, and from Le Labo I bought a bottle of Vetiver and Santal 33. At Wempe I sent back the watch I had on order and decided to order something different. I go in two weeks to pick it up. I couldn't find Montvale anywhere, so I bought a bottle Duc de Vervin.
Have you bought an Omega? I know you said you didn't buy one from China, but did you recently make a purchase? Have you signed up with any forums and include your phone number? There are several possibilities here, but you may never find an answer to how this happened. Did you get an Email or phone call? You say you got a call, but than you say this person Emailed you.
I am on my way down to New York to do some shopping. One of my first stops is going to be Wempe. I have a watch on hold that I may purchase. Then I am going to make my way over to a few of the private label fragrance shops. Of course Bond No. 9 is on the list and a new favorite Le Labo down in lower Manhattan. I may stop at the department stores to see if I can find Montvale. I will have to pick up a bottle or two if I can find any.
I for one am very happy with PayPal. I have never run into a problem using their service and I have been with them over ten years. If you are a buyer PayPal is wonderful, not so much if you are a seller.
If you want to be protected use a PayPal account that is linked to a credit card. This way you have two avenues to go with in case of a dispute. I think using PayPal alone is enough protection. I only use PayPal for my online transactions. As a buyer you are favored in a PayPal dispute.
It's similar to a few other fragrances I have, however I think it's great for a night out with the fiancee. Especially if we are going out for dinner and drinks or dancing. I am sure there must be a few fragrances I don't have yet. And the keyword is yet!
1) Signature Scent: I really don't have one as I have a large collection of fragrances. However, if I had to choose it would be "Italian Cypress by Tom Ford"
2) Work Scent: In the winter months I prefer the Vetiver's, my favourite of the Vetivers is Encre Noir.
3) Night out Scent: I have several night out scents depending on the weather. Winter it would be Chanel le Bleu, and during the summer it would be Lolita Lempicka
4) "Close quarter" scent: Black Orchid EDP by Tom Ford
5) Daring scent: I can't really choose again I have way to many. If I had to pick it would be any of the Bond No. 9 fragrances.
6) Upper class event scent: Opium by YSL
PayPal's protection is geared towards the buyer in all cases. I don't see why the person involved in the dispute didn't destroy a cheap violin. If in fact the violin was an original as the seller stated, and they stated incorrectly that violins are not counterfeited. They are in fact counterfeited quite often at the higher end. Luckily I've never had a problem with PayPal, and I've been with them since the beginning. I even had a bank account with X bank when they first started up.
