This fragrance reminds me of something that I used in junior high school - model glue! It smells exactly like what I used to put model cars and planes together, opening to dry down.
I'll take a pass on this one, however, New York Intense is impressive. it still has a hint of DNA of New York but whatever changes they made to it, New York Intense is by far the better fragrance.
PDN's New York is a classic spicy masculine!
New York is definitely a citrus, spicy fragrance. It's basically an old school classic masculine. Definitely mature and in the vibe of Eau Sauvage, Bois de Portugal, Pour Monsieur by Chanel, etc.
It lasts about 5-6 hours and projects well during that time. Good but not great performance.
Not many compliments with this one. My wife does not like it and says it is powdery.
8.5 of 10.
New York, should have been named "Los Angeles", not because it's glitzy but because it has no substance. I live in California so I'm allowed to make that joke.
The citrus and lavender and the barest hint on leather are all very nice and the scent is really "classic must-have worthy" but it's all surface glitz. I've had a decant for a while and I adore the smell but dammit it has no staying power or performance! Ugh!
Under ideal scenarios (pulse point, no clothing rubbing against it, cool air etc) I get two hours. Seriously two hours max. I had some on today on my wrists and about 40 minutes after spraying it on, had to wash my hands. Just water, and I was careful not to get it on my wrists. A few stray drops got on the application areas and blotting it dry, sucked all the scent out. I have to scrub Tom Ford's Venetian Bergamot off my skin if I want it gone after 6 hours...this just can't wait to die like a fruit fly.
I'm saddened and mourn it's early demise each time I wear it.
Scent: 7/10 for a fresh scent it's a real beauty. No arguments.
Longevity: 2/10 garbage performance on my skin.
Projection: 3/10 for the first 30 minutes then it vanishes unless I'm cramming your face against my flesh. Boo.
Sillage: 1/10 basically none after the first spray. People can smell my hair spray (john masters organics non-aerosol which has an amazing citrus salt vibe) longer and more strongly when I walk by then this. And that's with me prompting them if they noticed.
Would I buy a full bottle: Nope. Not a chance. The scent is beautiful but the garbage performance seals the coffin on this. I can't justify even $20 (nevermind the actual cost) for the performance alone when my $24 hairspray is more potent and in the same scent family.
This I reckon is the Equivalent of Viagra for women. There I was standing the queue in the Bank, when all the women in the queue were whispering what is that smell. I thought oh God it's another one of those fragrances that is disliked or people purport to dislike when worn by the wrong person. I had literally 5 mins prior spritzed it on and walked into the bank. I got to the bank teller who must have smelt it on the notes I had just given in to be deposited. She held them to her nose and said wow! I thought this woman loves cash and money lucky she works in a bank! She then disappears. Opens the security door, smells my neck and says wow this is beautiful. Can you write down the yes...yes I though so I wrote it down for her....She then sits there and says so when are you talking me to New York? I said hey, what's she on about? I said no you nana, that's the name of the perfume. She said no I think that's where you're taking me on....she became my girlfriend until the New York ran out! Lovely peppery musky smell, with a hint of citrus in the opening.
To me for some reason it has a vintage halston z14 to it
love it
Fantastic. Yes, there are similarities to Old Spice, but this exudes class and refinement. I wear this for special occasions. It brings to mind Shalimar at times as well, and unsurprisingly so, considering the creator's ties to the Guerlain house.
Scent 9.5
Protection 6
Longevity 9
Opens dirty dry woody floral but not a sweet floral. I liked getting kicked by a very masculine beginning. Spice starts to come out. Suddenly flashing back to Old Spice in a gym bag in the 60's
After an hour: let my wife smell it. "Ugh that's nasty! Old man smell"
I can totally see Turin wearing this as his signature (?) for 10 years, but also that he now does not wear it anymore. New York was fantastic, but for another age. Just like english popstars dressed fantastic in the 80s, but that style would seem out of date today.
Like Grottola notes below, there is something powdery dandyish about New York, the same powdery sensation you get in Habit Rouge (1965). New York to my nose is much better and more sparkling. But like Habit Rouge, New York's time is out. Perhaps if you are 70 years old, and your clothes are outdated too.
Note: I loved New York at first, but after a few months I can only appreciate it for what is once was. New York was old when it was born in 1989, climaxing powdery perfume history from the 60s and 70s, but not looking sideways and forward.
Very glad I testet it thoroughly, for it was once one of the greatest of its kind.
7/10 (used to be 10/10)
I looked forward to this and I ended up blind buying it, considering the reviews and because many people are reminded of Bois Du Portugal, which is an all time favorite of mine, but sadly, I can't wear and not even like it. It's well blended, the flacon is beautiful in its simplicity but all I get is lemon, pepper, something which reminds of nutmeg, even though nutmeg is not listed in the pyramid and a hint of vanilla and cedar in the base, together with the still prominent citrus/pepper combo.
It reminds me of Cacharels Pour L'Homme mixed with Chanels Pour Monsieur. I see absolutely no connection to Creeds Bois du Portugal, but maybe this was the case with the vintage version of New York, but who knows?
Sillage and longevity are decent for a citrus fragrance.
Please try this first, if you have a problem with citric scents.
I have the old formula and highly recommend it. Three hits on the chest and it lasts all day at work. Acceptable for all climates, extremely versatile, and affordable.
4 from 5 - 93+ P (out of 100) - orange amber - Following a short top note of orange citrus and a pass-over by orange peel, it reaches a marvelous and long lasting heart. This heart is perfectly harmonized and round, its mildness comprises some amber, some mellowed spice/clove, Christmas cinnamon cookies' dough, some memory of P&G Old Spice, little fougère, and leads to a perfect drydown. Stunning that sometimes there is a trace of thiosulphate. An optimum between sweetness and spice. Nearly appropriate for each season. If New York lasted longer, and if the orange note was more lively, it would be a candidate for 96-100P. Unfortunately still very very difficult to buy somewhere in Europe.
Classic cologne followed by a mix of cologne and soft semi-dry leather. Nice but gone waaaaay too quickly.
I'm really exited to write about this fragrance because this juice is simply outstanding!
I'm pretty sure my sample is the reformulation juice but it's still a keeper.
The opening of this fragrance is a fresh,tart and bitter smell of bergamot mixed with some mossy green smell and some black pepper.
The quality of the notes is great and the scent has a very natural feeling.
As time goes by bergamot goes to the background and fragrance reaches the best part.
The mid is a mossy green smell mixed with strong, yet smooth and very well balanced dry smoky leather and some spices specially black pepper.
It's bitter, dark, smoky, dry, green, mossy, peppery, quality, well made, well balanced ..... do you want anything else from a masculine fragrance?
There is a little bit of sweetness and it's completely in the background.
I love the mid.
In the base you have the mid smell but it's smoother and a little sweeter and I can smell cinnamon in this part which is awesome.
While it has a classic vibe, it's modern and completely masculine at the same time.
Projection is good and longevity is around 6 hours on my skin.
A signature scent and bottle worthy fragrance for me.
I like this much better than "Creed BdP"
راستش وقتی ین عطر تست کردم و بعد از چند بار تست داشتم خودمو برای نوشتن توصیف بوش آماده میکردم خیلی هیجان زده بودم چون به نظر من این عطر یکی از بی نظیر ترین و بهترین عطرهای کلاسیکی هست که تاحالا تست کردم و در یه کلام این عطر یه شاهکار در دنیای عطر و ادکلن هست
ظاهرا این عطر تغییر فرمول داده شده و به قول معروف آبکی تر شده و مطمئنم سمپلی که من دارم همین نسخه جدید هست ولی بازم بوش بی نظیره
رایحه ابتدایی این عطر با بوی ترش، خنک و در عین حال تلخ ترنج شروع میشه که یه رایحه سبز و البته کمی تاریک و خزه مانند و رایحه مشخص فلفل سیاه اونو همراهی میکنن
رایحه ترنج تلخی پوستشو هم داخل خودش داره و کیفیت رایحه اش بسیار بالا و طبیعیه و بسیار خوشبو و لذت بخشه
پس از این رایحه شاداب و ترش و کمی تلخ و سبز میرسیم به رایحه میانی که بهترین قسمت عطره
تو رایحه میانی بوی شاداب ترنج تا حد زیادی آروم میشه و حالا بوی چرم وارد میشه
رایحه میانی ترکیب بسیار عالی از رایحه تلخ، خشک و دودی چرم هست که در کنار اون رایحه کاملا مشخص گیاهی و خزه ای و کمی رایحه فلفل سیاه وجود داره و همه با هم یه بوی تلخ، و دودی و سبز و فلفلی عالی و کاملا مردانه بوجود میارن
البته این تلخی و حس دودی در عین قوی بودن ملایم و کاملا بی آزاره و آدم دوست داره فقط هی تند تند بوش کنه
در ادامه رایحه عطر کمی شیرین میشه و رایحه دارچین بهش اضافه میشه که بازم بوی تلخ و دوی و گیاهی خودشو داره منتها در این مرحله کمی شیرین و کمی دارچینی میشه
پخش بوی خوب با ماندگاری حدود 6 ساعت روی پوست
این عطر با عطر کرید بوا د پرتوگال مقایسه میشه که تا حدی درسته و شباهت دارن منتها شخصا به نظر من این بهتره از اون عطر کرید
A timeless classic. Elegant, classy and sophisticated. The reformulation is weaker than the original, so I can't wait to try the Intense version.
this review its for the vintage version one of the most elegant,classy and gorgeous scent ,this frag can't b missed by any collector or perfumista ,i really loved it since the first time i've the luck to smell it .and today i was so lucky to find 3 bottles of the vintage version in a little niche perfumery store ... you cannot even imagine the great smile in my face when the seller told me we sell this with 50 % discount :-))))))
(Written concurrently with Creed Bois du Portugal)
This is a big, aggressive citrus-wood scent with a lot to say. Opens up sharper and more smoky than BdP, with more orange and lemon peel that persists for a while. It's slightly harsher and more masculine, and I can definitely smell it from farther away than BdP. This to me fits the bill slightly better for the "boardroom", financial tycoon, "powerhouse" scent because of the brassy citrus and the better penetration. Plus, the leafiness of the citrus and the smoke keep the sweetness in check, though just barely. I'd be more afraid of New York getting tiresome simply because of its strength and persistence, nice though it is to begin with. This may be a bit of a leap, but if you want a more strictly spice-oriented scent (getting farther from BdP), think about the cheapo Pierre Cardin because it's more disciplined in keeping its sweetness under control.
You know, now that I've been wearing this cologne for several weeks, I must say that while there is a notable comparability to Old Spice, it's still entirely unique. I think I have found my "holy grail" to be honest.
It's amazing how a perfumer of talent can take the usual suspects - bergamot, amber, cinnamon, pepper, lavender, cloves - and create something that stands head and shoulders above the usual crowd containing exactly the same ingredients!
Simply put, this is one of the best, if not THE best, spicy men's fragrances I have ever smelled. Wonderful.
Yes, it is somewhat reminiscent of Creed Bois du Portugal and, yes, some of the notes are like the ones in Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree (which I wear and love). And yes, this can be considered an upmarket Old Spice. But so what? I love it!
UPDATE: I bought a bottle. This stuff is wonderful. I can see why Luca Turin wore it for ten years.
After all the glowing reviews, including Turin's, I had high hopes for this. But it smells so old-ladyish that I had to scrub it. It was ruining my day. It really reminds me of the smell of an old plastic dopp kit that's been sitting in a dark, dank, moldy bathroom vanity for two decades. It's truly horrific. I get the similarities with PM (the ugly concentrée made for the American market) and BdP, but they are few and fleeting. It's uric and powdery, musty and acidic. I really doubt the sample was bad because I got it from Osswald. I'll give it a few more tries just to make sure I don't dismiss it out of hand, but it's not looking good. I'm so glad I didn't blind-buy this.
The IFRA is a product regulation body whos job imo is to make sure there are no neurotoxins in perfumes, wich is fine and desirable, however I DONT dont want the ifra turning into a perfume hating biased ideological group with an agenda to cripple the perfume industry and quality scents and i believe perfumes buyers should question the ifra for truthful declarations verifiable stats and accountability and just clearly ask why a chemical is capped at a specific amount limit, or banned and what effects they claimed it had on the human body to be banned or restricted, when modifications to an appreciated product occurs, because they could at some point claim lies just to serve an unkown ideological protocol , especially if its unverifiable by the common citizen, so they had better come out with verifiable claims that a chemical is neurotoxic or bad and perfume buyers should question them ,if a volatile chemical does not affect heart rate or central nervous system in an exitory manner it is NOT neurotoxic, caffeine aspartame energy drinks and v.o.c paints qualify as neurotoxic and are not banned so perfume byers should be suspicious
If Floris Elite stands for London, Nicolai's New York might actually represent the Big Apple. Both are classic men's fragrences; fresh, always contemporary and created with subtle details. New York is a little bit more a melting pot of different scents than Floris Elite, giving it a slight exotic edge. The citrus and spice are very well balanced, the green notes give it a nice earthly base. Could be a perfect everyday fragrence, although it might be slightly more appropriate in cooler weather. Masterpiece all the way around.
I'VE HAD SOME GREAT COMPLIMENTS ON NEW YORK. A QUALITY JUICE AND A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO Terre d'Hermes. LONGER LASTING AS WELL.
Not that bad and not that good. opens with stale lemon juice, light green herbs, cinnamon and dry amber with hints of leather and a touch of chocolate. It comes off as very old world and conservative with a slightly sharp edge. There's nothing wrong with it, just not something I would wear being a guy in his early 30's that's more casual and slightly left of center. I could see a 45+ yr old accomplished guy loving this juice or anyone that likes herbs, dry amber, cinnamon and leather. It does get a bit better with time, the stale citrus blows off revealing wood, light herbs, anise and hints of leather. Clearly it's not for me but check it out if you like the notes described in this review.
Update : the drydown brings out leather covered with baby powder with a hint of hot pepper, amber and raw cinnamon.
I am sure that I am not the only one who wanted to buy this, but who will NOT buy this because of stupid reformulation. I am so sorry Patricia, I will buy another brand.
I heard it this was changed smell because of IFRA's restriction.
No citruss, No oak moss.
What the f word. I feel very sorry...
First bought this back in 2001 when I was testing various fragrances after a long absence from wearing any perfume. Flash forward to today and four bottles later, this is one of the best frags for men out there. I sense little to no difference from my first bottle to the most recent. It's my office go to frag when the weather dips below 60 degrees. Something I never get tired of wearing. Very distinguishable phases and extremely longlasting. For me, similar frags are Habit Rouge, Pierre Cardin, and BdP. PdN best men's by far. A+
Safer is always better it seems.
Lemons on top, but on warmer days you can feel the ' full effect ' of the scent's other notes there aswell, then drying down to vanilla, leather and even hints of incense, this is almost unbeatable.
Flaws (which aren't exactly minute must say) are lack of EDP and sometimes the bergamot does grate a little with the Top lemon note, turning it less sweet and comforting.
Thing I found most disappointing was the lack of punch from the oriental notes. The amber and cinammon were just too tame and muffled by the vanilla which was equally as watery. Also roses much better for me, as I cannot tolerate lavender.
It also prevents this from dating which it has. It is not very modern as the recent sweeter, less herby and richer compositions we have today.
I do think Byredo's Gypsy Water is much better however, mainly because that is an EDP but the opening of it feel a little smoother and sweeter and it also has a richness plus an great incense note that gives it a dual oriental personality. Check that 1 out, it's great!
But I certainly think it's the men's ChanelNo5, and that said even women can wear this too!
edit: An Intense version has been released now!
NB. This is a review of the vintage formulation.
A Masterpiece!
Wearing Patricia de Nicolai's, "New York", is like kicking-back with your best friend,; enjoying a few 'cold ones' and listening to one of the definitive West Coast jazz recordings on "Verve": "Blues in Time" (1957) by the Gerry Mulligan, Paul Desmond Quartet.
This recording documents a meeting of two jazz legends whose artistic creativity and respective personalities might be spoken of in the same way as the seminal contributions of "Borg/McEnroe" when discussing an era of great tennis players. Mulligan's playful, romping, mellifluous baritone bouncing and honking away at its bebop best, trading phrases with the great Paul Desmond whose light-toned alto provides a constant source of mesmerising, sinuous, intricate, logical musical ideas. He plays as if watching someone effortlessly fill-in a 'hard' Sudoku board and move to the next puzzle without seeming to pause and take a breath.
There's nothing histrionic or showy here, rather one is drawn-in ever closer to the sheer quality of the music even if you've heard this album umpteen times over the decades, and whether playing a ballad or an up-tempo piece, each composition still feels fresh; swings like crazy and, above all, makes one smile!
So it is with Patricia de Nicolai's beautiful, "New York", the notes perfectly swinging in time as the inner chords take turns to project in a sublime, up-beat, performance!
'Start spreadin' the news...'
A breath-taking superb: 9.5-10
Dedicated to my brother and to, 'G', who kindly introduced me to this worldly delight!
manage to acquire a vintage formulation,
the color is different..the vintage is dark yellow near amberry colour whilst the new one is pale yellowish
tested it on my left arm the new formulation and the vintage formulation on my right arm..
the difference is a but hefty...the new lemony lime smell is not so bright whilst the other note mentioned above as well. the new one sillage is moderate , the vintage is strong, on autumn weather the new formulation last about 8 hours but close to the skin..the vintage version lasted till tomorrow even after a quick shower it still last and you can smell it about 2-3 inches from the skin..should i buy some more of the vintage? better save up now...
I have not smelled Boise De Portugal but I was immediately reminded of Chanel Por Monsieur "both versions" with a little lemon.
At first I thought "ok this is how Chanel PM should have been made" . It starts off very strong but then in less than an hour the scent dwindles down into a barely noticeable skin scent. Just a hint of lemon (citrus) remains.
Safe not original but pleasant while it lasts. If it had more staying power I would recommend it as a substitute for Chanel PM but I cannot do that.
This is my first sample from parfums de nicolai. I am weary of any company that puts out more than a few fragrances Ie. Bond.
How can they focus on quality ?
Luckily this was a free sample.
after spending more time with this, i find new york a very nice fragrance for the well kept man..it portrays a man whom is strong of character but doesn't feel like he needs to announce his presence with an over powering fragrance when he walks into a room.what i get is a confident and classy man that knows who he is and where he belongs in the world.. I think he would be a people person..a good heart and loving man. his actions speak for him, and other men would like to be more like him. maybe for the most interesting man...lol.. excellent , timeless and just class. just plain smells good, this one always makes me feel good about myself when i wear it..not offensive.. this fragrance makes you a considerate person of your surroundings you will be a great smelling guy. people around you will take with them after getting a whiff of you. I love the little blast of lemon at first and i thought ok another citrus , but then it softens and i smell the lavender and all the other notes that patricia de Nicolai.has blended into this magical elixir of scent that has stood the test of time. it was a beautiful fragrance then and it is now. i will always have this fragrance in my possession.. i cannot think of a time when i would ever not love this. this is one i wear for myself. i have read a couple of comments about old spice, and i did not notice that at first , but they might be on to something. , good , i love old spice, i think that only reinforces how good a fragrance old spice really is.., originally purchased the smaller bottle 30 mil.. i went thru that in no time! I repurchased the larger bottle. it is well worth the price in my opinion. one of my top favorite fragrances...and this has a great rating for my list of scents. what i have tried is getting to be a long list.. i think every man who loves fragrances should give this a try. one of the luca turin reviews that i agree 100 % with.. in fact it was his ratings and comments he wrote about it that inspired me to try this, first from the perfumed court on a 1.5 mil spray sample the same day i received it i purchased it form lucky scent since it showed on fragrantica as where to find it. so as they say in the sales world....WRITE IT UP!
I was afraid to try this fragrance, because it is for man (I thought). How wrong I was!
Now, I have tried it at least and found it beautiful! Reminiscent of Shalimar a bit, but in a unisex kind of way. (However, Patricia is a Guerlain's descendant:) )
I think this female-male signs not so important in a fragrance, rather we should wear what we like, so I will definitely wear this fantastic fragrance!
Unless somebody switched samples on me, this is a powdery old lady's perfume and it gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Initial review: Combine Chanel's Pour Monsieur Concentree with Shulton's Old Spice, and you get PdN's New York! OK, it's not exactly the same, and New York is definitely my preference over cpmc, but you get the idea. Enjoyable scent if you don't mind spending the money.
After trying 4 other P de N fragrances, this one was a real surprise. It's a leather! who knew? I had pretty much decided P de N only did polite, pretty perfume. Maybe because this is meant for men, she was willing to do something more distinctive. Must admit I detested the top notes (very traditionally perfumey, reminded me of Chanel No.5, and smelled like it would give me a headache), but within about 10 minutes it dried down to a soft leather with a slight hint of citrus and floral embellishments. With warmth, a cinnamom/red hots note pops out, too. As leathers go this is (to me) on the more feminine end of the spectrum, nearer to Kelly Caleche than to Knize Ten, but I am a lover of leather and woody fragrances, and I could see giving this one a more extended try-out (as long as I hold my nose for the first 10 minutes). Still smells to me more like it would suit a woman than a man, however; I guess I like more of a hard-edged biker leather on my guys!
New York, along with Shalimar, Guerlains's Vetiver, Cuir de Lancome, Knize Ten and Diorella are my most frequently worn perfumes. Makes me feel a bit stodgy when I look at it, but classical perfumery appeals to me. I do think I have a fairly catholic sense of classicism, though. I find the best of Etat Libre classically formal in construction. Lutens reinvents classical, and most of the Piguet line absolutely venerates the classical. New York has never done me wrong. When I crave it, it satisfies. When I'm uncertain what I want to wear and put on New York, it's like an olfactory moment of kensho.
New York's secret weapon, besides its utterly flawless evolution is its powder. Powder is often mentioned in the context of the old-lady perfumes, tedious dandy fragrances, uninspired aldehydic fragrances. But New York's powder is gunpowder. It is a bitter, powdery dustiness made even darker by orange/bergamot resinousness.
Chypre? Oriental? Powdery Wood? I'd probably give you a different answer on any given day. Like the best perfumes, New York has a deliberate ambiguity that makes it seem less elusive than actually alive.
Update: Seeing Luca Turin's note in the "Little Book" I tried the most recent iteration. Light orange cologne. Heartbreaking.
Not enough of a "wow factor" for me and I don't like the citrus/blossomy quality (which is a bit harsh) in the opening. Too ambery and simple in the base. I'm not sure what the appeal is, and there is lots of competition out there, starting with vintage Old Spice! The closest to PdN NY that I've really enjoyed lately is vintage Third Man Caron.
UPDATE: I tried it again, and then swapped off my vintage bottle. It's very nice, perfectly balanced beyond the first few minutes, and pleasant. But again, I want something that at least goes a bit in this or that direction. Luca Turin described Boucheron's Jaipur Homme as something one might get in a gift set, with other items not related to fragrance, IIRC. That I would apply to New York, not Jaipur Homme (which has a strong spice element that most people might not like). NY is a great scent for the right person. For the aficionado, it will either be viewed as a great, or as a wonderful "meh," I'd guess.
I guess any good perfumisto/perfumista, sooner or later, has arrived to the point to wonder what makes of a fragrance a good fragrance. Uniqueness? Raw Materials? Execution? My personal answer is that, while all this elements can make the difference, at the same time they may not necessarely coexist and New York is a good example of my statement.
This fragrance isn't among the most unique or distinctive around, it doesn't count rare or precious raw materials in the note list, but it's definitely well executed. Don't expect something groundbraking or outstanding as you will be disappointed. All the Luca Turin's talking about New York has created great expectations among perfume lovers, expectations that too often have been unattended. Just try to approach this composition with an open mind, as if it were just one among others and not Turin's favourite and you'll discover a great scent.
The first comparison that came to my mind when I first smelled New York is the one with an old armchair your family bought in the 70's. It was handmade, not particularly beautiful but extremely comfortable and solidly crafted that rapidly became your family's favourite. During the years it survived to several relocations, to new eye-catching designer fournitures, to technology and it's still there in your living room. Worn-out, somehow out of date but still your favourite. New York is all of this. It's not original, it's not the most catchy fragrance around and it's definitely old-fashioned but it's still tremendously reliable and honest. These aspects are its points of strenght.
I won't go through note explanation as you can find billions of descriptions anywere but let me report one thing a good friend of mine used to quote:
"Don't try to be original. Be simple. Be good technically, and if there is something in you, it will come out". Henri Matisse.
Thanks Saripatates.
Rating: 9/10
Ah, the coveted New York by Patricia de Nicolaï. For a niche fragrance, this one seems to have quite the cult following and a reputation preceding it - Luca Turin even admitted to having worn it for ten years, which is quite a feat for perfumisto's and perfumista's always searching for their "Holy Grail". So, does New York really live up to the reputation? Not for me.
The good: New York is pleasant and pretty, simply put. It's along the lines of Habit Rouge (but not as sparkly) and similar to the long-gone Ungaro II. In fact, if you love Ungaro II, but can't find it (or you don't like the civet note), then New York makes a fantastic alternative. It's rich, refined, and noticeably well-made with good materials; the powdery, ambery orange and peppery pimento, when combined, are smooth like a creamsicle. Unique but still civilized. Like many other powdery dandy fragrances such as Habit Rouge and Heritage, New York smells very "pretty", very "delicate". Freshly powdered, well-groomed, and conservative as all get out with a bib choking your neck.
The bad: The "civilized" part is perhaps where New York's downfall is, for me. It's nice but it's not fun or free. It's too damn stuffy for me, very formal. I'm reminded also of Tiffany for Men, which is about as powdery as I can tolerate a fragrance. There's no doubt that New York is refined but it feels watered down and lacking in character, like something unfinished. The longevity of New York is good (the city itself will be around until the end of the world, I know that much), but the sillage is lacking - New York is very much a skin scent on me.
The ugly: I don't really find there to be anything ugly about New York, despite its flaws.
Bottom line: Despite New York not working for me, I'd still say try it, given the hype. It may very well work for you, but it doesn't for me. The closest fragrances I would compare New York to are Habit Rouge, Ungaro II, Minotaure by Paloma Picasso, Tiffany for Men, and Heritage by Guerlain. I don't really see as many similarities between this on Bois du Portugal, which I find stronger, more masculine, and less powdery. Nevertheless, New York is a quality fragrance that would probably smell great on someone else but it's not something I'd wear. If I wanted this kinda fragrance I'd rather just wear the vintage Habit Rouge. Get sample from Luckyscent first before you think you want New York.
This stuff is wild! It's like a cross between Guerlain's Shalimar and Creed's Bois du Portugal, both of which I love. The opening is a kind of 'Shalimar for Men'. A powdery burst of lemon, orange and spice. It's apt that a relative of Pierre Guerlain (Patricia is his grand-daughter apparently) would be so heavily influenced by his work.
The complex and multi-faceted development into warm woods, amber and oakmoss is the spark of genius in this classic fragrance. I would have been satisfied if it stopped at 'Shalimar for Men!'.
Like all my favourite men's frags, makes me feel like a wiser, older, richer man!
My signature scent. This is a perfect blending of components from PDN that can be worn anytime of the year and for any occasion and has everything in place from top notes through dry down. Kudos and a heartfelt thank you to Patricia de Nicolai for New York. A masterpiece!
flawless, absolutely flawless
This is just art, pure and precious art. Patricia de Nicolai should give some perfumery lessons to all those wannabe, so called perfumers out there. Wear it and just let things happen.
This is a marvelous fragrance. It`s classic, timeless, masculine elegance in a bottle. It smells very luxurious. If I had to pick just one fragrance for the rest of my life, I would probably pick New York. It`s in the same category as Creed B-D-P and CHANEL Pour Monsieur, but New York is much more complex and better balanced. It`s like 3 fragrances in one. Fragrance expert Luca Turin gave this fragrance 5-stars. His highest rating. I can easily understand why! It`s the highest level of elegance and style. The only thing i regret is that i didn`t buy the 100ml bottle instead of the 30ml..
Fresh and spicey. I like this but not enough to buy it.
With a honey and citrus opening and a smooth, powdery drydown, this is a scent that can be worn year-round, and by males and females alike. As Goldilocks might say, "This one is just right!"
I looked forward to try this. Top notes reminds me about Aqua de parma Colonia, classic and fresh fragrance. Somehow I think that kind of perfume fits good for travelling. Though this is known as a male fragrance that is enjoyed and used by women, I don't want to wear it myself.
I think I would enjoy it very much on someone else, since it smells natural and different from todays mainstream fragrances.

Appellate Court Blocks County's Friant Ranch Project
This is a Press Release issued in Fresno today (Friday, May 30) by a coalition of environmental and community groups.
Appellate Court Blocks County's Friant Ranch Project
May 30, 2014
Fresno – In a May 27 court decision that reaffirms the priorities of clean air in urban planning, Fresno's Fifth District Court of Appeal ruled in favor of the Sierra Club, the League of Women Voters of Fresno, and Revive the San Joaquin in the matter of Friant Ranch (Sierra Club et al. v. County of Fresno). The Court overturned the Fresno County Board of Supervisor's 2011 approval of the Friant Ranch development and the project's Environmental Impact Report, or EIR.
The court held the Friant Ranch EIR to be deficient in its analysis of the impacts on air quality from the proposed 2,270-- home development. A three-- judge panel unanimously overturned a 2012 court decision and ruled in favor of plaintiffs, ordering the preparation of a revised EIR.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the County, as Lead agency, to certify the EIR. The EIR must inform the public about the project's environmental impacts, including health impacts from air pollution, which shall be disclosed. Also, the EIR needs to make a good faith effort to identify mitigation measures that would reduce these impacts. The Friant Ranch EIR did not comply with these aspects of the law.
Sarah Sharpe, Fresno Metro Ministry Director of Programs, commented, "We support the court's decision to uphold CEQA and to protect our air quality. In our region, which is in the dirtiest air basin in the nation, decisions about regional growth and development should not be taken lightly. It is important to remind our decision-- makers that sprawl and new towns create new sources of air pollution that WILL have real health impacts."
Thinking to the future, Nyla Zender, President of the League of Women Voters of Fresno, said, "The ruling by the Appellate Court will, at long last, force the County to face the adverse effects on air quality generated by their land use decisions promoting urban sprawl. It is only a first step as Fresno County will be bringing up its revised General Plan for approval soon. The amendments contained in that document will pave the way for more rural area developments like Friant Ranch. This must be stopped."
The Friant Ranch project is a proposed 55-- plus Senior community, located 6 miles north of Fresno on agricultural lands near Millerton Lake State Recreation Area. It is in a new growth region far from retail and medical services, and with no public bus service. A technical transportation study forecasts future gridlock at selected Fresno intersections during commute periods. In addition to disclosing the environmental impacts of the project, the EIR is required to recommend mitigations that would reduce impacts to a level of insignificance. The County acknowledged air quality concerns but made only token efforts to reduce air pollution and traffic congestion impacts, requiring the planting of trees in roadway medians and setting up a vanpool service. County planners claimed such minor efforts would "significantly" reduce air pollution levels. The Appellate Court disagreed.
Friant Ranch is just one of several developments proposed north of the city of Fresno in both Fresno and Madera Counties. The cumulative impact to air quality from the addition of 160,000 residents will be significant.
Sharpe concluded, "This is a small step in the right direction toward a complete culture change that values investment in existing neighborhoods and towns rather than always building new and farther out."
Despite the win favoring air quality and public health, we must caution that the ruling is a troubling opinion because it did not find the Friant Ranch project to violate the County General Plan and County land use policies designed to prevent urban sprawl.

Looks great man, really digging the build so far! And I will agree with catbread, I think the bit of bagginess in the before shot looks better to me.
I'll take it back to how it was. Also dawning on me that the 't-shirt sleeve' length may have been right all along. It's strange, looking down at the suit on my own arms and it looks way too baggy, but it looks fine in a photo. I think I'll hold off on making any final decisions until I have all the armour pieces made.
Yeah, you will get a much better view of how it is when it all comes together than you will now. I thought mine was a good bit too bulky until I got it all finished and took new pics.
what size did you go with on scaling the helmet?
Since Fett is 5'10" and I'm 5'6", I'm scaling everything down by 95% (aside for the gauntlets which come to about 89% on account of my short arms and thin wrists) and everything seems to fit perfectly.
I was a bit apprehensive about this update seeing as I went with a topical approach to painting, which leaves a lot to be desired for accuracy; some sections are the wrong size and some don't match up perfectly as it was all done freehand with reference material and stencils. I have a local source of Humbrol paints so that's the route I took. I know the colour of the back panels is off, but I only realised I'd mixed the wrong colour green in until I was halfway through the weathering. This was my first try at airbrushing and mixing the paints to the right consistency proved to be a more difficult than I imagined.
(Pictures are badly colour corrected in Photoshop, I'll post better ones once I've got the helmet sealed)
I have a jet pack roughed out in cardboard with the rocket looking in dire need of bondo and the gauntlets are almost ready to be painted.
Doesnt look bad at all...
Thanks, I never expected it to hold a candle to the actual bucket, but this forum is amazing for spurring people on to do the best they can. I'm proud of what I was able to do with virtually no tools and no materials. Here's some better pictures:
I've got a servo coming in the mail and once that arrives, I'll see if I can get it hooked up to the rangefinder and then I'll start considering fans. The only place I can conceivably put one though is at the lower front, but I'm concerned the fan noise will interfere with my mic. Speaking of which, I'm going to get an Aker voice amp soonish.
Regarding other parts of the build, I the gauntlets need hinges fiberglassed in place seeing as the epoxy resin alone isn't quite up to the task of keeping the hinges secure. The jetpack has mostly been assembled and the interior fiberglassed for strength. The rocket took some doing, but I managed an extremely rough cardboard version which has been resined and is awaiting bondo to smooth up my mistakes. In addition, the shin tools are in their resin stage. I only went with the squeegee and the anti security blade as this was the ROTJ setup and I'm planning on emulating the Jabba's palace version (From pictures I've seen, I don't think the SE studio version had ANY shin tools, but I don't want to leave those pockets empty).
I do not envy all that sanding lol!
The talent of the people on this forum boggles my mind. Excellent work, man!
Really good work... I chump and go the easy way out buying other artist's work!
great looking helmet. I assume you paint the inside and out with fiber glass resin then Bono over it? Do you use any of the woven of matted glass material on the inside?
I think you've done an excellent job especially on the paintwork.
Thanks all for the praise. Yes, first I fiberglassed the interior using mat and then I used the same resin to harden the exterior. It's the same process I used for the gauntlets, shin tools and soon the jet pack. I've bought some PVC sheets to tackle the armour plates. Also, I've more or less finished the gauntlets now.
I had to enable the flash for the scorched weathering to show up. Does anyone know where I could get 3D printed gauntlet rocket/darts? The reason I ask for 3D printed is because I'd like mine scaled down since the gauntlets are smaller than the actual ones.
Parade gloves arrived today, so I'll need to dye them, then begin the arduous task of sewing on the white patches.
Great looking gauntlets! Toolguy301 has some 3d printed merch... Check in with him for that stuff..
Aprilstorm has also some great 3D projects. Here is the gauntlet rocket sell thread (with link to her Thingiverse page) ==> Fett gauntlet missile
I initially approached April through PM a while ago, but I never recieved a reply. It seems she hasn't been on the site for a while.
Wow great work Mr. thank you for posting your build
Hey, guys. I'd like a quick opinion if you don't mind. I'm back home for Easter and the PVC sheets have arrived, so the plan is to get all the armour cut out sharpish so I can easily take them back home after Easter, but first I was wondering how I did for sizing.
I ended up using Raf's templates rather than WoF's for the armour after the good experience I had with his helmet templates and I scaled it down by the same amount as the helmet. I'm not quite sure if I need to scale it down a touch more though so thoughts are welcome.
Here's half of the paper stencils attached (and flipped). It looks proportionate, although my concern is with the side of the chest plate; it tucks rather sharply around my pec when form fitting (there's more of a curve to it than other chest plates I've seen) and if I simply didn't curve the PVC so much, it would jut out from the flak vest.
I'm terrible at explaining things; I'm sure you've figured that out by now but hopefully that makes some sense.
The abdominal plate's height looks over dimensioned (you stretched it to fit the vest?), but as you said, the armor looks a bit big on you, so you should reduce the dimensions with 5-10% and do another test fit. I hope you won't use the flipped armor (to gain symmetry) as the whole suit is full of asymmetries, which gives that real look to it.
Keep us posted with your build. You are doing a great job!
I didn't mess with the proportions of the ab plate, I just reduced the scale to 95% as with the other pieces. I'm using an old copy of Adobe Acrobat to print the templates; maybe that's doing something it shouldn't. Don't worry, I won't be flipping the armour; I just couldn't be assed to print out all the pieces for a test fit.
So I did a couple more test fits. One in the 90% fit range and another in the 85%.
90% feels neater although the chest plates still seem a little wide. I'd say the 85% chest plates are the right width, but there's a big gap between all the plates. So I took the smaller chest plates and put them with the larger pieces to get this:
The ab and chest plates, being different scales, will need distorting height-wise if I go with this option to make the gap between them more consistent, but the 90% option is still a possibility. What do you think?
EDIT: Now I'm even more indecisive. Since my flak vest comes down to my waist (I tuck it up past my belly button for pictures), I wondered if I was folding it in the wrong place. I took the 85% pieces and pushed them up to what I think the gap spacing would be and it looks much better, despite the large space at the bottom of the vest.
So now I have three options, but I'm not sure which is best. Thoughts?

The other day when I was wrestling with dad, a sound came out of my rear end that really startled me. I jerked around as fast as I could to see what it was. I chased my bottom around in circles a few times but didn't manage to see anything. It just smelled a little funny. Dad was laughing at me like I was an idiot.
I used to be a "lab/shepherd/beagle mix" every time anyone asked what I was. But today we met a real expert and she said I looked like a Carolina dog. I have to admit it feels good to finally have an identity!
I have a friend named Poncho. He is a mutt like me. He has a large wrinkly head and a really strong body. We like to play in his backyard. One day I decided to eat a pair of new leather boots that I found in Poncho's garage. I am not allowed to eat shoes at my own house...so I thought I had better take the chance when I could.

This was my first foray into using a plank of wood with grilling. I have been curious about it for awhile and when I found a package of four planks for less than ten dollars, I decided it was time to satisfy my curiosity. There was also a recipe in the April issue of Eating Well magazine which was still floating around in the mess that is my brain, so it all sounded like a go.
Do you read the whole recipe before you make something? I think that it is recommended, and this recipe was a prime example of why you should. I started making the marinade and the second ingredient was sake. Ooops, didn't have any sake. I thought that we always had some in our liquor stash, but apparently not. So, being the quick and resourceful thinker that I am, I substituted mirin. Feeling rather proud of myself, I go on to the next ingredient, which is, you guessed it, mirin. Mmmmm..what to do…what to do. Being the queen of substitutions, I substituted vermouth for the mirin. Why? I don't know, other than I found some when I was searching for the sake.
The salmon was great. It didn't look as pretty as the picture in the mag (which you can see here, but it was still pretty if you looked at it from just the right angle. Why? Because salmon is a fatty fish and as it cooked it leaked out that unappetizing grayish fatty stuff from the sides, which drops through the grates when you are grilling, but just puddles up on the plank. So, if you are going to serve this to guests, I would suggest either replating (though the plank is a fancy touch), or scraping off the congealed fatty puddles.
I served this with jasmine rice from the rice cooker, which I cooked with 3 slices of lemon to mimic the lemon in the salmon (just kidding, it was because I had three slices left over from the lemon used for the salmon). I also used a little knob of ginger (ditto on the being leftover from the salmon). The vegetable was steamed edamame. This was a lovely, healthy dinner, with lots of flavor!
Plank-Grilled Sweet Soy Salmon
(From Eating Well April 2008, link above)
Makes 4 servings
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup sake or dry white wine
1/4 cup mirin
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped scallions
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh ginger
4 5-ounce wild salmon fillets or steaks, ¾-1 inch thick, skin on
1 small lemon, thinly sliced
1. Soak a grilling plank in water for 2 to 4 hours.
2. Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, sake (or white wine), mirin, sugar, scallions and ginger in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
3. Place salmon in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Place lemon slices on top. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes but no more than 2 hours, turning the fish once or twice.
4. Preheat grill to medium-high.
5. Place the soaked plank over direct heat on the grill and heat for 2 minutes. Move the plank so it's over indirect heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, place it skin-side down (if using fillets) on the hot plank and replace the lemon slices on top. Close the lid and cook until the fish is just cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Use the plank as the serving platter, if desired.

Parish Church dedicated to St PaulMisraħ il-Parroċċa, Rabat
The parish church dedicated to St Paul in Rabat is built next to the site of an ancient underground rock-cut church dedicated to the same saint, believed to be the place where St Paul was imprisoned during his stay on the island.
The foundation stone for the parish church designed by Francesco Buonamici was laid in 1653. After Buonamici left the island, his understudy Lorenzo Gafa and a local master mason, Pawlucju Formosa were engaged in April 1664 to take charge of the works.
The design by Buonamici consists of a three portal façade and was derived from the need to integrate the older sanctuary over the grotto and the new church behind one façade, with the three portals each providing access to independent sacred spaces. The middle portal is aligned to the central axis of the nave of the church; the right lateral bay entrance leads to the sanctuary over the grotto. Lastly, the portal on the left bay provides access to the cemetery. The flat plane of the three identical portals avoids any form of hierarchy, where all three sacred spaces deemed to be of equal importance.
The Malta Environment and Planning Authority scheduled the parish church as a Grade 1 monument on 26th August 2011 as per Government Notice 782.

UK lawmakers hit by cyber security attack: media reports
LONDON The British parliament has been hit by a cyber attack that is preventing lawmakers from accessing their emails when not in Westminster, politicians and media reports said on Saturday.
Online video streaming services like Netflix and Amazon became a new sticking point in the increasingly acrimonious talks between Time Warner Cable and CBS, as the companies squared off on Thursday about how to treat the new competitors.
Both companies confirmed they were back at the negotiating table. But little progress was made toward ending the blackout that had deprived more than 3 million Time Warner Cable customers of CBS shows in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas.
A CBS Corp executive told a New York City Council hearing on Thursday that negotiations with Time Warner Cable Inc have "gone badly off course" and accused the cable company of trying to negotiate terms that would limit CBS's ability to do business with such online TV services as Netflix Inc and Amazon.com Inc.
Martin Franks, an executive vice president at CBS, said Time Warner Cable has been insisting on securing the same terms and conditions of their last agreement which started in 2008 and expired in June.
These would supply the cable company with some CBS content for free, which online players such as Netflix pay "millions of dollars to distribute."
"Perhaps their real aim here is to use those outdated terms to hamstring our ability to do business with Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus and other new entrants that pose a new competitive threat to their former, cozy, unchallenged monopoly status," Franks said.
Martin added that "CBS is not going to become Time Warner Cable's accomplice in trying to throttle those new services," referring to companies such as Netflix and Amazon.
Time Warner Cable called CBS' comments "erroneous."
A spokesman said that its expired and proposed agreements with CBS "place no restriction on their ability to sell all of their product to Netflix, Amazon, Intel or any other entity."
It also said it does limit CBS from giving its content away for free online on its website or through apps.
A CBS spokeswoman later responded that Time Warner Cable had given the broadcaster an ultimatum. Time Warner Cable either does not want CBS doing deals in the digital space with companies like Netflix or it wants to take all of CBS' online content for free, CBS said.
A Time Warner Cable spokesman then added that the cable company is willing to pay more for the same rights it had in a previous agreement and that "CBS is countering by taking some of those rights away and charging more and we don't think it's right for customers to pay more while getting less."
The debate around online content comes while cable operators are facing challenges from competitors such as Netflix that are making inroads with viewers who can pay less to watch shows online instead of paying for cable subscriptions. When a subscriber cancels their cable TV subscription, it is known as "cutting the cord."
"Cord cutting used to be an urban myth. It isn't anymore. The numbers aren't huge but they are statistically significant," said Moffett Research analyst Craig Moffett in a research note.
Moffett estimates that about 898,000 U.S. households have cut the cord in the past 12 months, up from 455,000 households the previous year.
If the two companies fail to strike an agreement by Sunday, Time Warner Cable customers in the affected cities will miss the final day of golf's PGA Championship, the last tournament of the four major golf events this year.
The blackout started last Friday when the two sides could not reach an agreement on the fees that Time Warner Cable pays CBS to carry some local stations owned by the broadcaster in some of the largest U.S. TV markets.
Rory Whelan, Time Warner Cable's regional vice president of government relations, in testimony at the same hearing about the blackout, accused CBS of "coercive bundling practices" and said CBS's blocking of Time Warner Cable's Internet content exhibits conduct "beyond the pale."
Earlier this week, Time Warner Cable's chief executive, Glenn Britt, made a proposal to CBS CEO Leslie Moonves to sell CBS as a single channel, rather than part of a package, a move Moonves dismissed as an empty gesture.
Aereo Inc, the online television venture backed by media executive Barry Diller, said on Thursday it was expanding service to Dallas, one of the cities affected by the blackout.

Auctioneer &memory monday 16 Nov 2015 02:38 pm
Today is a difficult day just to sit back and do a regular video for a memory of an Auction and tell you a story. The reason is due to the events that took place this past weekend in Paris France. With so many losing their lives due to the tragedy of terrorism, it did not seem appropriate to simply remember another Auction experience.
However, I do think it is okay to take time to remember. Remember what September 11. 2001 meant to you as an American. Remember where you were, what you did, and how you felt. Remember our sense of unity and patriotism that grew from that day. Remember how so any in the world stood with us, and others who mocked and laughed at our loss. To Remember that "United We Stand!"
It was no coincidence that this past Friday morning, I sat in a meeting hall in Nashville TN and heard the story of Richard Picciotto, the highest ranking New York Fire Firefighter to survive the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers. I listened intently as he told of his day and how he was between the 6th and 7th floors of the North Tower when it fell. I hung on his every word as he recounted his day, his story, and how it was nothing less than a miracle of God that he survived. From his own story, there is no reason he should have lived as 104 stories above him crushed all below him, yet he lived to climb out and tell the tale. That day, I was reminded of where I was, the things I did, and how I spent that day, but he was there! He was in the middle of it all and he lived to tell us about it.
It is those same folks who today are in Paris France who survived that we should remember. The ones today who mourn the loss of friends, family and neighbors. The ones who did not live to raise their children and love their family, who were taken by the senseless acts of terrorist.
So today, for Memory Monday, I ask you to stop and remember those today who are suffering through this most recent act. Remember how you felt after 9/11/01, and be in prayer for those who are living that very moment today over there. Remember how they stood with us, and Unite to stand with them!
God Bless!

Auctioneer &Auctions &estate 19 Aug 2015 01:18 pm
I have now been around the auction industry for 39 of my 39 years here on earth. Yes, I was born into a family of auctioneers and started working at auctions when I was 5 years old. You might say Auctions are just a way of life for me. More than that though, they are a passion of mine and I honestly can say I enjoy the entire process. Part of it is because I enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories, other times it is because there is so much history that is uncovered by the Auction process, and I love history.
As I look around the Gallatin TN area at all the upcoming auctions being held, I cannot help but reflect on why Auctions have been such an effective method of sale for those who are settling estate for so many years. My family heritage goes back to my great grandfather in the year 1910, but Auctions have been held here in Tennessee for much longer than that. With time changes to the auction industry has allowed for new and exciting ways to market and sell items, but Auctions have been a staple here for a long time, and with current activity at this level, appear to be here to stay for a long time as well.
So what is it about an Auction and an Estate that make for such a combination? It is the combination of a life long effort to obtain and collect items and the fact they are being sold, in most cases, in one day. There is just something about tying a long life of work, collecting, and holding on to things to a one day effort to disperse that life ling effort in a very short period of time. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard "You guys will NEVER get this all sold today," or "You are going to be here till midnight,"only to see the Auction finish at 4-5pm. It also never ceases to amaze me how a life of hard work, labor, love, and gathering can be scattered in the matter of hours. If I am amazed by it, having done it essentially my entire life, than how much more that must be the feeling of those who come to buy and bid on the items they awaited a literally someones lifetime to have the opportunity to purchase.
The marriage of these two life events, an Estate and an Auction, is a very unique one indeed. Here in Tennessee, and around the world, these two life events have gone hand in hand for ages, and will continue on for many more.
If you live in the Tennessee area and would like to speak to an Auctioneer who has served hundreds of families over the years through the difficult process of an Estate Auction, please visit HERE and I would be honored to share with you how your family member's Estate and an Auction could be the perfect fit.

Here in Middle Tennessee, we have a really good core of Auctioneers. From Gallatin, to Carthage, to Nashville, there are some fine choices when choosing who to have your auction. Most of these choices are based off a personal knowledge or relationship with the auctioneer or a referral by a close friend. However, there are the occasions when choosing an Auctioneer is done purely on web research or looking up a number of a local auctioneer.
In these cases, many people ask, "Won't just any Auctioneer do?" Simply put, No!
If you are looking for an Auctioneer, just because he or she pops up first on your Google or Bing search does not mean that is the right person for the job. SEO work and clever marketing can get anyone near the top of a keyword search. That however does not make that the perfect choice for your Auctioneer.
A few key questions that will help you choose the proper Auctioneer are:
1. Does he have a firm knowledge on the local market? Is your Auctioneer familiar with the area you are asking he/she to work in and do people there consider them of honorable reputation?
2. Is their reputation a good one? Honorable is a ancient word, but so is the art of being an Auctioneer. Auctioneers, like car salesman, tend to get an overall reputation as being fast and smooth talkers. For your sake, I hope so, but not when it comes to striking a deal with you. They should be knowledgable, patient, and considerate of your situation. It is easy as an Auctioneer to become comfortable in a routine of doing an Auction that it is easy to forget this is probably your first, and maybe only time to go through this process. Make sure your Auctioneer walks you through the process in a slow and precise manner so you understand what is going on from start to finish.
3. Is he up to date? I am 40 years old and have been working at family auctions since I was five. The worst thing that can happen to an Auctioneer is that he/she becomes great at what they do and then fail to stay current on the Auction Industry. I personally wrestle with this knowing that the way I have always done things is not how they will always continue to be done. But no matter how an Auctioneer fights it, progress is going to happen and it is important to you, the client, that your Auctioneer is at least current on the best the Auction Industry has to offer.
So will any old Auctioneer do? No! Follow these helpful guides when hiring your next Auctioneer and you are setting your Auction Sale up for success!
