A Gift for Self by digitalrn

A Gift for Self

I enjoy a good cologne. This is a new one I bought recently, kind of a gift for myself, John Varvatos. It smells great. Whenever I go into a store, I must stop by the men's fragrances to check for new ones. If there is one I like, I give my wife a hint, because she always asks me what I might want for my birthday, anniversary or Christmas. Only trying to help her out. It also has a nice leather wrapping around the bottle, so it also served as a good theme photo. Just so you do not get the wrong impression and think I only treat myself, I recently bought my wife a bottle of Coco by Chanel. It too smells extremely nice.
Great shot, love the lighting and cool texture of the label.

Beautiful picture...love the coloring!

Looking at the thumbnail I thought this was a little bottle of some sort of alcohol lol. Cool shot, how funky is the label!
November 27th, 2010  
Handsome bottle. Great shot
November 27th, 2010  
this is a great shot! and nothing wrong with a little treat now & then! (:
November 27th, 2010  
Very classy shot....you should maybe do some commercial work for them to boost their sales! I'll bet you smell really good too! :)
November 27th, 2010  
Rick this really is a great shot. Looks like an advertisement.
November 27th, 2010  
Cool! It looks like a commercial. I always check out those samples in magazines but when I get to the store they never quite smell the same. Ummm...I'm thinking the CoCo is a little bit for you too since you'll be enjoying it when she wears it...:)
November 27th, 2010  
I love perfume ;-) this looks like a great bottle!
November 27th, 2010  
wow love it, great lighting!
November 27th, 2010  
Nice shot, my wife does not like the smell of cologne.
November 27th, 2010  
Wich we had smellavision so we could check out the scent of your cologne
November 27th, 2010  
hahahah, I wasn't thinking you treated only yourself. I really like the bottle, and Coco is delicious, great choice for her.
The photo is a very good entry to the theme.
November 27th, 2010  
Nice! I love the warm colors in this one. I love cologne!
November 27th, 2010  
That's the way to do it._.Indulge..!!..Nice texture and awesome gift to ur wife too...very pricey and classic Chanel.:)
November 27th, 2010  
Really like how you have captured this!! Looks like an ad!
November 27th, 2010  
Nice pic. great lighting!
November 27th, 2010  
This really does look like and ad shot! I love a good smelling perfume and cologne myself :)
November 27th, 2010  
Very nice and I am sure you deserved a gift for yourself!
November 27th, 2010  
I agree, looks like a shot from an advertisement.
November 27th, 2010  
Beautiful shot. the cologn must smell reaaly nice
November 27th, 2010  
A very classy photo - Looks like it could be in Esquire Magazine. You might send it in to the company... :-) you never know...
November 27th, 2010  
Love that picture.... full of "mood"!
November 27th, 2010  
/ Nice. It shows your affections for it.
November 27th, 2010  
Great shot and what a lovely bottle,have to keep my eye out for this one!
November 27th, 2010  
Beautiful bottle!
November 27th, 2010  
Very manly--the photo, the bottle, and the nice, helpful hints.
November 27th, 2010  
I admire a man willing to use something that smells good. When I kiss my son on his head after he showers his hair just really smells great and I tell him that. I want to follow him around but that would be weird .... Hahahaha!!! I like Coco too. ;-)
November 27th, 2010  
I also wanted to say this is a great picture.
November 27th, 2010  
great shot of your new gift to yourself and good on you for doing so too...I love men's cologne so much more than womens perfumes, will have to check this one out....pity you can't upload a scratch and sniff pic :)
November 27th, 2010  
Love Sarah J's idea of a scratch and sniff pic...won't be long before we can do that...I actually think it *is* possible but just not ready for commercial sales yet...that sure will help the food and perfume industry when it goes public though, won't it!!!

Like your photo but I thought it was whiskey at first! Nice mellow lighting for the shot...and how nice you can both give subtle hints to get a gift you really ant...didn't know that many men sniffed around the fragrance counter as much as we women do! My favorite fragrances for the last many years have all been Givenchy...Hot Couture is my current "love."
November 27th, 2010  
Lovely warm colors... :)
November 27th, 2010  
Fabulous shot, feels very masculine which is good ;-)
November 27th, 2010  
you made it seem rich, warm and tantalising! Enjoy!
November 27th, 2010  
Great shot for the theme, glad to hear you brought perfume for your wife, I like the one you have chosen for her Rick
November 27th, 2010  
Very classy!
November 27th, 2010  
nice theme shot rick! looks like an advertisement :)
November 27th, 2010  
Okay, adding this to the list of colognes and perfumes I've seen on 365 (and have to check out) so I'll know what everyone smells like!
November 27th, 2010  
Ha--I like Sarah's idea of scratch and sniff 365...hmm, that would be an interesting upgrade.
November 27th, 2010  
I love your processing! Great picture - well done!
November 27th, 2010  
Nice textured look and it's vintage...perfect for your collection!!
November 28th, 2010  
nice photo rick! nice gift for yourself!
November 28th, 2010  
I love the red!
November 28th, 2010  
Sometimes a hint just isn't good enough and we have to buy it for ourselves, I'm with you on that one. Nice shot.
November 28th, 2010  
great shot. love the color ...don't know the cologne tho...you'll have to wear it to work one day!
November 28th, 2010  
Smells nice indeed :)
November 29th, 2010  
Pretty bottle, I wish there could be an Internet scratch & sniff, to smell it :) I like Christmas shopping ... a gift for my mom, a gift for me. A gift for my friend, a gift for me lol.
November 29th, 2010  
Rick, nice set up for shot. Great lighting. I too will now have to search out this scent.
November 30th, 2010  
I so like the lighting, color tones, and texture on this one. Very interesting photo!

oh you devil you. There is nothing nicer that to have a male pass by or stop and speak and smell the cologne, I always have to comment on a man's cologne if I find it is so nice. They seem surprised when I say "Gosh you do smell nice, what is the name of that Cologne". Why shouldn't we tell someone how nice they are ,when so many tmes you can have the opposite reaction when someone comes near.
