Barrister and Mann

Agilent is a good company - I know from experience.

So from their website: Chromatography for dummies: http://bit.ly/2h7VTCH

I'd actually love to buy one, but they're prohibitively expensive.

Read post #24. I have spoken highly of you in the past. When you developed the Reserve line and decided to try to make a buck off of companies by making products based on those STILL IN PRODUCTION, my attitude changed.

If you would be kind enough to post a reply instead of hiding behind an excuse, I'd appreciate it. I believe my concerns are valid here.

I posted it above. Calm down. And no, I preserve fragrances that are lost and dead, or so rare that they are extraordinarily difficult to obtain. I have made this very clear.

I bought a dozen bottles of Floid Blue over the course of the last year, as recently as last month. This fragrance is hardly lost or dead. At last check, Old Spice was still in production as well. Please don't argue the reformulation nonsense. The Reserve line speaks to a loss of creativity on your part. You are simply trying to reap a profit by creating a copy of a famous scent that's still around. You now exist on the same plane as RR, PAA, and so many others exhibit a lack of creativity and just produce copies because a certain segment of the wet shaving population is there to gobble them up.

Wish I were into this while in grad school. I have seen other people use these in our labs, and I have used other analysis tools.

Geez. Take a pill.

Your personal (and, notably, biased) experience aside, I was told by the distributor that Floïd Blue has been discontinued. As such, since they're the ones actually SELLING the stuff, I'm going to take their word over yours, if it's all the same to you.

And, seriously, smell new Old Spice versus vintage and tell me that there hasn't been a dramatic change. But, as I said, believe what you like. I sleep well at night knowing that I have accomplished my goal and preserved scents that would otherwise have been lost. That's enough for me.

I paid €45 shipped for every two bottles I bought....

I will pay 450$ for a Gas Chromatography Machine, will also cover shipping. Agilent or any Chinese brand will do.

Oh wow, really? I might have to check that out. I hadn't seen them for that low. Thank you for the recommendation!

I already took my honesty pill for the day. Others should do the same.

I work at an advertising agency. One of our clients is a GC/MS lab. Can confirm: science is way more precise than marketing.

This fellow has been over on one of the other forums where Will as well as myself and many of you were banned, agreeing with a certain mod, and generally bashing Will and his products. He has some kind of axe to grind.
So you don't like it. You've made your peace. Good deal. Get on with your life.
