The Warrior Diet - Can it WorK?
The Warrior Diet - Can it WorK?
I've been reading the Warrior Diet book. There are many interesting aspects about the diet as a whole. The main one being that you eat lightly through the day - focusing on Whey Protein, yogurt, fruit, raw veggies, and then finish up at night eating just about anything you want that is deemed ok by the diet.
I would like to know thoughts on the following:
1. Is it a worth while change-up to follow it?
2. What tweeks could be made to allow it to be a weight trainer/person looking to improve their physique?
3. What supplements would go good with the diet.
There is a website warriordiet you know what to add.
Any thoughts/Discussion would be great!

What I'm gathering is that one of the keys to weight loss is keeping your insulin levels at a normal level.
It also seems that comparing the WD to other diets that they all try to do this through different mechanisms. Some even include exercise.
I'm curious as to what supplements are recommended for regulating insuling levels, keeping in a positive nitrogen balance, and maintaining muscle mass. - 12-18-2006, 09:05 PM

I know this thread is pretty old now but i quite liked the Warrior Diet. I was actually doing something very similiar without knowing it was called something.
I train an hour after i get up which is 4:00am then i go to work. If i eat normal meals after that my energy levels are all over the place and i find myself looking for a place to sit down and close my eyes for a few minutes.
If i just snack on low GI fruits and SMALL protein meals when i'm hungry and only when i'm hungry, i feel much better with no energy slumps ever.
At night i go nuts on the meat and veges and if i'm training the next day i eat extra carbs. I sleep like a baby and i have tons of energy for my 4:00am workout.
I know people say to eliminate carbs at night but i've been doing that for the last few days and i have NO energy to get me through my workout let alone any cardio, i feel like crap afterwards and right now i feel very overtrained and unrecuperated from the pitiful workouts i have done.
Alan, i've read many of your posts and realise you are very knowledgable but your way just does not work for me. Actually what usually works for me is what everyone else ISN'T doing!!!!
If anyone else does an early morning workout then goes to work and experiences the same energy slumps etc. then try this way. I'd be very interested in hearing about it.

Then eat high fat, low carb meals when breaking the fast.
I'm not on the warrior diet, as Ori advocates eating before the main meal.
I eat ONCE a day, at 2 am, Before that, I walk for 2 hours, do a HIT workout and do my calisthenics 90% and weights 10%(not all at the same time, this is spread throughout the day.)
I love this way of eating because of convenience, I made tons of burger patties out of very fatty ground beef (26 lbs total) froze them and vacuum packed them with 4 strips of bacon each, I take out a pack in the morning to defrost and cook it in a cast iron skillet along with some veal liver, usually 2-4 lbs of meat total.
I have ZERO hunger throughout the day, I've ate like this before and got to low BF levels, although this eating pattern I fast for 24 hours, nothing less.
Energy levels are GREAT! I hate working out after eating something, I hate preparing food, measuring food, worry about food, this is great for me.
Here are some good links!

I just started doing something similar to this. I fast for 18 hours a day and eat during the 6 hour window. Right now, I eat between noon-6pm, fast from 6pm-noon.
For the past year, I tried the 6 small meals a day and it really didn't work well for me. I felt bloated, tired and it was a pain always trying to eat. Even though I was counting calories, I never lost weight. I'm going to give this a try for a while and see how it works. I used to eat like this when I was younger and was much leaner. I just ordered the warrior diet book and should have it in a few days. I'll give it a try for a month or two and see how it works. I've read some studies on how "fasting" is actually good for you, so maybe this type of diet has some merit?

text: Cinnamon rolls were tasty, but the dough needed to rise a little longer. The service was terrible, the lady kicked my family out and said they were taking up all of the room in line. Also, they have no napkins or utensils which makes eating a little difficult. The cash only sign wasn't until you get to the register, so... More

Well I truly regret actually purchasing a copy of the new Beastie Boys album to support them. It seems that Capitol Records has some sort of new copy protection system, that automatically, silently, installs "helpful" copy protection software on MacOS and Windows as soon as you insert the CD into default systems. I'm not sure exactly what it does yet, but I am sure regreting actually purchasing said media now... they don't deserve my money if they choose to pull stupid stunts like this. Installing software without your permission sounds like viral malware behaviour to me. I certainly hope the AV companies put signatures into their products for this crap. They include some sort of uninstaller buried on there for Windows, but I see no such thing for MacOS. If anyone has disassembled the aforementioned malware already and can save us some time with instructions on how to remove it... thanks in advance.
If its not even doing anything then why are you worrying about it? If there is no Mac uninstaller then there is probably to Mac installer right?
exact same reason why i did not purchase the Velvet Revolver cd, instead i got it from iTunesMS, it should have said something on the packaging though, i think that is a legal requirement for the copy-protected cds....
If true, this really sucks. The BBoys are one of my favorite things and copy protection is one of my least favorite things. I googled for "Beastie Boys" and "copy protection" and found a couple of interesting things... 1. Apparently the US and UK versions don't have this protection on them...according to Mike D himself (or at least third-hand internet Mike D). 2. A post identical to D0ct0rTeeth's appeared on insecure.org. Who's cutting and pasting? Is there widespread panic...or is this Sabotage? (Note clever BBoys reference.)
at least the cd is for sale on the iTMS so you can get some sort of handle and knowledge about the copy protection, and at least know that it is their if you choose to go that route
i didnt know it was that price on the iTMS, thats just shady then by the Beastie Boys or their Record Label
this has been going on for a long time......for certain videos, windows media player makes you install something called DRM (digital rights management). i installed it because i couldn't watch the video otherwise. it shouldn't hurt your computer or your music files, though. they do not have a right to browse through your computer and look at your MP3 and AAC audio files--that would be an invasion of privacy. also, the DRM software would not which files are actually real, in the sense that you might have renamed certain songs, etc.... overall, i'm telling you (or your friend) not to worry. a lot of CDs are coming with this now, which is another advantage to the iTMS. unless you can add your ripped beastie boys songs into your account in the iTMS (so that they have five licenses and all other attributes of a iTunes downloaded song, people are going to start to get really, really pissed at record companies.

As part of his Doctor of Ministry (DMin) in Ministry to Emerging Generations (Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary), Tom's written a number of book responses and given several short presentations (personal and group). In this series he not only "shares the wealth," but also looks forward to your feedback as he refines his project: An argument for vocational discernment for graduate studies in the context of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (Stay tuned to learn more!). For this particular post, additional material from Urbana15 has been included. Earlier posts on the program: Ministry to Emerging Generations and The Big Picture of Ministry to Emerging Generations.
Renaissance: The Power of the Gospel However Dark the Times
Despite the importance of the topic addressed by Os Guinness, I confess resisting "the call" to read Renaissance: The Power of the Gospel However Dark the Times (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2014). One person shared with me that the publication was not "academic." Another could not stop reading, re-reading (3x), and talking about the book in a manner which led me to believe that I had heard it all before. Lastly, I am not excited about advocating a return to the "Renaissance" for the Church, Christian culture/subculture, and/or "Christian" civilization. But required reading prompted me to order, read, and reflect upon Guinness' short piece.
Despite my hesitancy, Guinness quickly engaged me with the big picture:
There is no shortage of analyses of the twin crises of the church and the West, but by themselves such analyses have too often led to despondency, fear and paralysis, just as medical diagnosis without remedies can be heartless and debilitating. What we also need is a constructive overarching vision of Christian engagement in today's advanced modern world, one that is shaped by faith in God and a Christian perspective rather than by current wisdom, and one that can inspire Christians to move out with courage to confront the best and worst that we may encounter (27).
Furthermore, I appreciated that although he was not going to die on the hill of defending the use of the term "Renaissance," his inspiration for the use of the term was its definition as "rebirth" and not a convoluted return to the Renaissance era (28-29) or an ideal version of Western Christian civilization. Yes, "Christendom" truly requires rebirth and by God's grace we have seen this occur previously through the Christian worldview actively lived, i.e., incarnation (75, 86).
"The time has come to pray and act" (48). In preparation for the Urbana Student Missions Conference (December 27-31, 2015), I sensed the urgency for the Emerging Scholars Network (ESN) to wrestle with and shape material which interacted with InterVarsity's vision:
To see students and faculty transformed. Campuses renewed. World changers developed.
The concept of Renaissance–with the focus upon "rebirth" and "incarnation"–engages students, faculty, and campuses.
At Urbana15, I enjoyed
- sharing material from Renaissance (including critiques of Christian engagement with Western culture and the modern era),
- interacting with students who have a Renaissance passion, including ~ 60 students participating in an ESN Urbana Sponsors/Scholars program,
- giving students a culture building task at Urbana, to learn more visit Posts on Mission, Justice, and the University from Urbana 2015 and The Secular Academy as a Mission Field: Urbana Panel Discussion,
- praying and commissioning Emerging Scholars involved the prayers from the end of Chapters 1 and 2 (30, 51), and
- sending students forth to engage in deeper resource building/networking as followers of Christ in higher education.
Honestly I could not believe how quickly some of the students embraced the call and took next steps by gathering for lunch to interact with staff such as myself. Several created an online forum (with survey) not only to debrief Urbana15, but also to explore inter-campus dialog and provide input for Urbana18. Some of the Renaissance stories, with more to come . . .
- Connecting with ESN has really enriched my experience at Urbana because it expanded my mind to see that God called me into the engineering field for a reason. Missions and academic/vocational pursuit are not two separate ideas, but rather beautifully intertwined to fulfill a piece of God's bigger story for my generation. It's really quite exciting! I walked away with a desire to excel in the secular arena because of the agenda of the sacred.
The seminars Women in Academia and God's Global Mission and Graduate School were really helpful to me in very personal ways. They reminded me that attending graduate school is a privilege and God has called me to be here. They also reminded me that being a committed Christian does not necessarily mean devoting to full-time vocational ministry. God has made me who I am and has given me these passions and abilities. I can participate in his global mission where I am, being who I am. I found my place in Urbana, and in God's plan for the world.
- ESN has immensely benefited me in so many ways. From helping to show me evangelism opportunities that are out there as a "missional" professor to teaching me that the even Jesus is supreme in the world of Science and that with his strength I should never be afraid.
- I felt my ear burning as I sat here. I'm totally grateful for this seminar. This is [the] Lord's calling for me. I should be a professor. — Response card to The Secular Academy as a Mission Field: Urbana Panel Discussion
On my flight back from the Urbana Student Missions Conference, which included several interactions with missionaries, I realized that under God's direction I had engaged in conversation after conversation with opportunity to break the fear, paralysis, and polarization by which we find ourselves surrounded on campus. Furthermore, I was reminded "ideas spread best through networks, rather than through either individuals or institutions" (100). Truly a work of the Spirit of God among future leaders at cultural centers. In 2016, I look forward to participating in the Emerging Scholars Network's development of additional resources to offer a more in depth consideration of this model, in particular the tension between following Christ and engaging in Renaissance as a cultural leaders. As you have insights, please be in touch. What a joy to have you part of the growing network/team.
To God be the glory!
High King of heaven, Lord of the years and sovereign over time and history, grant to us such an overpowering knowledge of who you are that our trust in you may be unshakable. Grant to us too a sufficient understanding of the signs of the times in which we live that we may know how to serve your purposes in our generation and be more truly be your people in our world today. To that end, O Lord, revive us again and draw us closer to yourself and to each other. Where there is false contentment with our present condition, sow in us a holy restlessness. Where there is discouragement, grant us fresh hearts. Where there is despair, be our hope again. For your sake empower us to be your salt and light in the world, and thus your force for the true human flourishing of your shalom. In the name of Jesus, Amen. — From Os Guinness. Renaissance: The Power of the Gospel However Dark the Times (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2014), 30.

Im just so discouraged. I tend to just blurt stuff out. I submitted an article that took me a long time to write and I felt it was going to pay just because I worked hard but sometimes working hard doesn't get you anything either. I am just feeling sorry for myself darlin. I will snap out of it. Everyone is struggling these days and some are so much worse off. I feel bad for feeling bad, LOL!!! I think I'll get "outa self" and go work on that backgound template we talked about hugs, denise
oregoncountry: I think I'll get "outa self" and go work on that backgound template we talked about Really, Denise, you probably should write more articles! Serious. Some of my articles are not worth **** but then others are... the only way to work that is to keep writing. As you write more stuff, it gets easier... Don't get too hung up on the template, hon. You have been an angel to me and you just can't help yourself from helping others, but the truth is that things like that can sap your strength and take away from what really matters as far as $$ Have you looked at the 30 day challengethat some of the others talk about? I have not taken it but have heard really great reports on it and it's free. we like free.
Youre a doll. Yes, I need to look at 30 day challenge again, good idea And I will keep writing and submitting. Giving up is not an option denise
Hi Denise, It's been a while since I have talked to you. I actually slept good today and now I have a few hours to play online woooo hoooo!!! Don't let it get you down. Maybe if when you get frustrated you could go off and do something else for a few miniutes. I play with my birds for a little while. That usually resets my mind in a way. I have also tried the 30 day challenge but have dropped out of it after only a few days. I knew many of the things that they were talking about. I may have to go back and check them out again as I haven't heard anything bad about them. I'm sure that there is some very usefull information there that could help me out. Don't get your hopes up too high and then you won't be as dissapointed, but you gotta keep going. Take care of yourself, Talk to you soon Pinky
there is soooooooooooo much out there and that is part of why I am going nuts. I can't seem to just focus on one thing and that is what I need to do. But when I don't make money on that one thing, then I try something more and before I know it I am juggling 10 balls at once Actually, if I were to "have" to pick one thing I enjoy more than anything else I've seen, it would be freelance writing. I don't know I can cut the mustard but I like just sitting down and writing whatever comes up in my brain! I know that can be dangerous in my case, LOL!! Anyway, I am going to study a tutorial they have on it, actually, I've seen 2 but read one already. Since I whined here earlier, I got at upfront payment for my other article I did, 99 cents!!! LOL! So I can't say they are not paying me for what I've written so far, lol! ttyl, and so glad you got some rest and have some time to do your online stuff denise
Hi Denise, Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit down. I haven't been in the forum lately since I was travelling (finally back in the USA). I think your assessment is correct. You are jumping from one thing to another too quickly. Maybe you are expecting too much too soon? I don't remember if I ever told you, but it took me at least 3-4 months of building my chocolate-candy-mall.com site before I started generating ANY income from it, and then it was just a trickle. I knew going into it that I had to commit to it for the long term. I gave myself a year to start turning a genuine profit. Sure, I wanted to make money sooner, but I was trying to keep myself realistic. It seems the IM hype tends to make people believe they are going to make money a lot quicker than can be realistically expected. In turn, folks give up before getting far enough along to make a "break through." I'm so glad that I stuck it out and blocked out everything else online until I really had my site firmly built and generating plenty of traffic before starting something else. Now that site needs barely any maintenance, yet it brings me several hundred dollars a month these days. Patience and persistence does pay. You have genuine drive and motivation and you're a good writer. I really believe you are just lacking that focus to find one thing and stick with it long enough to make genuine progress. If you can't conquer that little habit you're going to continue to despair, I'm afraid. I hate to see that happen to you. Of course, I hate to see it happen to so many other people, too, but I think we all want to see you, in particular, make progress because you've become an "online friend" to many of us. Hang in there, kiddo. Blessings, Angie
Hello Denise, Hopefully by now you are feeling better, like yourself again. Oh Denise, the errors I have made! We all have had those types of days. The Thirty Day Challenge is awesome! Last year was my first 30DC and I plan to participate this year too. I hope to see you there. Victoria
Thank you Victoria, your humility is very refreshing. I am doing ok I finished another article today and am just making sure that it's exactly how I want it before I submit it. Someone suggested the 30 day challenge info the other day but I haven't gotten to it yet. Part of my problem is a very, slow internet connection. I work in between "slow times" right now. That's ok too. It's forcing me outdoors where I love to spend time walking for exercise and also, with the animals on the property Thank you again and I will see you 'round the forums
mountainmom5: Really, Denise, you probably should write more articles! I finished another today darlin! I feel you are absolutely right about writing more. I am shooting for one a day right now. We'll see how I do with that
If you're talking about affiliate marketing, just remember these three things: (1) Website (2) Autoresponder (3) Domain name If you don't have any of these three, you will eventually need it. There is a process to making money online that starts from beginning to end. The reason why it's confusing is because we've learned a technique here, a technique there, another technique there, another technique there...no order, no beginning or end. Some experts have sold it that way on purpose. You need to understand the process...and you'll need a website.

Favourite to win, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to continue controversial settlement building on the West Bank.
Home to ex-Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, the Nokdim settlement is widely expected to vote for the right-wing alliance with between Lieberman's Yisrael Beitenu and Netanyahu's Likud party.
In Ma'ale-Adumim, the third largest Israeli settlement on the West Bank, Netayahu's promise of settlement building is not the most pressing issue for all, as one resident explains.
"Most of the people are now dealing with the economic problems. All of them know that there will be cuts after the election, that's why they don't care anymore."The international community has voiced concerns that any further settlement building would put an end to Israel-Palestine peace talks indefinitely.

The parliamentary public spending watchdog has attacked Network Rail, branding it a "fictional" private sector company and demanding its accounts be opened to full scrutiny.
The Public Accounts Committee of MPs, which determines whether government spending is effective and transparent, said Network Rail is enjoying the benefits of being a public company while behaving like a private one.
The Department of Transport hands Network Rail more than £3bn a year and underwrites its debts of more than £25bn, but its costs are not subject to direct scrutiny from Parliament or the National Audit Office, claimed Margaret Hodge MP, the chairwoman of the PAC.
"It is unacceptable that Network Rail is still not fully transparent to Parliament or the taxpayer," she said. "The National Audit Office (NAO) must be allowed full audit access as quickly as possible to this organisation which is essentially kept afloat through public funds."
"The Department of Transport could not offer any convincing evidence as to what characteristics Network Rail shares with a private company [and] international accounting conventions show that it should be considered as part of the public sector."
Ms Hodge accused the Department of hiding behind the Office for National Statistics classification of Network Rail as a private company. The PAC made its comments after investigating the Department of Transport's spending plans for the next three years. That review also raised concerns about proposed cuts to road maintenance.
"My committee is concerned that short-term budget cutting could prove counter-productive, costing more in the long term as a result of increased vehicle damage and the higher cost of repairing more severe road damage," Ms Hodge said.

Well, at least Mr. Tile Guy noticed the problem with the drain and made you aware of it. It's good that he noticed it before it evolved into a bigger problem. That would have just driven you nuts. I hope the drain is fixed now, though. Anyway, you seriously did a great job with the quilts. I especially like the second one. I just think the design fits better with regard to positioning and style. :)
Lovella Cushman @ Perfection PlumbingHi Lynn! I'm so glad that the termites were extinguished out of your house, for good. They are nerve wracking to deal with. Has the renovation been going well? I sure hope the drain has been replaced and fixed. Anyway, the quilt looks amazing! I honestly can't pick which looks best. You're doing great! :)

Because strobes fire so fast, only the aperture has a bearing on the flash portion of the exposure.
When shooting with a strobe,
1. Aperture determines how much light from the strobe gets into your exposure
2. Shutter speed determines how much ambient light gets into your exposure
3. ISO impacts both light from the strobe and the ambient, but should typically be low enough that it effectively shuts out the ambient.
The sync speed for a 5D is 1/200. At 1/250 you have good chance of seeing the shutter in your image ... a big vertical black bar, likely at the right side of the image. In general, do not shoot faster than 1/200 on a 5D unless you are specifically using high-speed sync and the E-TTL capabilities of Canon strobes (i.e., a 580EX II or similar.)
Assuming you want the exposure to be 100% driven by the strobe at f/8, set your aperture at f/8, your shutter speed to 1/200 and your ISO to 400 or lower. (Note, as you lower ISO you'll have to increase flash power.)
Then meter your strobe using either a flash meter (like a Sekonic L-358) or by taking a test frame. Adjust the power of the strobe up or down to reach f/8 at your selected ISO.
At 1/200, little - if any - ambient light should get into your image. To prove this to yourself, turn off the strobe and take an exposure at f/8, 1/200 and your selected ISO. You should see an almost black image under any typical office lighting conditions.
As you slow down the shutter, more and more ambient light will enter your exposure. You can use this creative control to start using the ambient for fill, balance against the strobe, etc.
However, for a typical studio shot lit entirely by strobes, you'll be at 1/200 on a 5D and not worrying about the ambient at all.
According to the Alien Bees manual, full power flash duration of an AB400 is 1/6400, an AB800 is 1/3200 and an AB1600 is 1/1600. Therefore, you should be fine at 1/200 and not need to go slower, unless as I outlined above, you specifically want to bring ambient light into your exposure.

I use 2 x 500w strobes, plus a backlight, and shoot at 250sec f8, 100 ISO. Camera distance to subject is around 12 feet. Lights to subject is around 10 feet.
If your pics are coming out "dark" maybe your strobes are only 240w or 125w. If so, you may have to up your ISO and do some test shots.
To love this comment, log in above 5/5/2009 9:13:54 AM
It caused me untold grief for the first week as I assumed it was 1/250 just like my 20D's and I was perplexed by the seemingly random black bars.
Once I read the fine manual and discovered it was 1/200, my problems went away.

The SK-UHD4000 was the world's first UHD camera to employ industry-standard B4 2/3 inch bayonet lenses. 2/3 inch sensors deliver the deep depth of field and high sensitivity needed for traditional TV studio and sports production. Additionally, broadcasters, rental houses and mobile sports trucks have huge investments in existing B4-mount HD television lenses. Many single sensor 4K TV production cameras have been prohibitively expensive due to the special lenses required.

Mooove Over!...Making Room for My Vintage Cow Centerpiece!
No…it's not Baby Kitty, although he is certainly an inspiration in his own right! Guess again…or did my title give it away? lol
Yes…it's this terrific vintage style cow! Isn't she fabulous? As soon as I saw her on the shelf, I snatched her right up! And…she was only $3.00! Woo hoo! She is actually appears to be a smaller relative of…
…my favorite sheep figurine that I recently shared in my Faudree inspired living room redo! So you know she had to come home with me!
I started with a wicker tray…a GW find from last year…and added my wicker wrapped bottle collection that I shared with you here…more GW finds!
Next, I layered in a few vintage favorites…
…including my vintage style cow tea towels…
…and some of my vintage silverplate meat forks…two of them in my favorite Rogers Brothers Vintage pattern. They were $5.00 each at an antiques fair! Woo hoo! I love anything with grapes…my favorite motif!
I also added this wonderful vintage Depression glass butter dish in green…a gift from my mother.
And do you see the etching around the edge? The dish was used at a dinner during the Carter administration! Cool, huh?
Put it all together and…voilà!…a vintage-y centerpiece starring my favorite new cow! Not bad for a $3.00 investment, huh?
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed a little peek at my vintage cow centerpiece! Please visit these wonderful bloggers and their beautiful blogs to see what they are up to and to find a list of this week's participants!

Debbie, I would have moooved that cutie into my basket too. Now I have something else to watch for. Perhaps whoever gave up their wonderful lamb will drop off a cow at our GW. ;-) Actually, I found mine at a consignment shop, so guess I need to keep looking there. LOL At any rate, this centerpiece is full of charm. You know how to pull things together to make vignettes that tell a story. Have a great day.......Sarah
What an inspiration piece, indeed! (Of course, so is Baby Kitty...that handsome fellow!) I ador how you've put many of your "thrifty finds" together to create this table top vignette! Magnificent presentation! How exciting to have a depression piece used at the President's table! Have a blessed week, dear friend!
Thanks for your sweet comment and visit!So two years + later I find this post...I think I found the link to it on Hometalk...not sure, tho, as I have been "reading" blogs all afternoon. I subscribe to yours and love, love, how you write and everything about it..I, too, love cows and vignette centerpieces but you are the expert in creating them. Thank you for sharing your creativity and give your staff a pat for me!

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment! I appreciate my wonderful readers!... Debbie

Kristiansand New York - The Fjord In Central Park
So, being a bit of a Scandophile - or its charmingly improbable synonym "Septentrionalist" - I was more than glad to try the new men's fragrance, Kristiansand New York. My thanks are due to Britt Hovde Ross and Elisabeth Steen for sending me a sample, and to my good friend Lovethescents for pointing me in their direction.
Kristiansand New York - the name of the house and its eponymous fragrance - came about when these two women (Britt Hovde Ross is a former model and Elisabeth Steen an actress) met at a Soho store opening. Britt had harboured a dream to create a fragrance since she was a child, while Elisabeth had a marketing background in the beauty industry.
The pair teamed up with Drom Fragrances' perfumer Pierre Constantin-Gueros, who created the scent in Drom's Tribeca studio. The brief was to create a men's fragrance, which captured aspects of their adopted city of New York as well as their Norwegian homeland.
In an interview published in "Norwegian American Weekly", Pierre elaborates on the inspiration for the fragrance: "Kristiansand New York embodies the modern, cosmopolitan and fashion-forward New York lifestyle while paying tribute to the founders' native Norway, a rather quiet place with a lifestyle much closer to nature."
What Pierre has created is in fact more of a unisex scent than an outright masculine. In a recent press release he points out how until the middle of the 18th century there was no real difference between male and female perfumes. In his view, we should detach the scent from its marketing trappings, namely the bottle and ad campaign. Without those visual cues, it becomes difficult to determine whether a scent is masculine or feminine.
I do agree with him up to a point, though there are some pungent fougeres or citrus or ozonic colognes from the "Saddam Hussein School of Perfumery" to quote Tania Sanchez's?? glorious phrase, which I don't believe I would mistake for a feminine even if I was blindfolded. There is, however, a larger grey area than that officially designated as "unisex", where, in my opinion, a fragrance could indeed swing either way.
So what are the notes in this gender bending, cultural fusion of a scent?
Crisp greens, mandarin, exotic spices, white lavender, clary sage, smoky woods, golden amber.
This is my third day of wearing Kristiansand New York, and I can confirm its unisex credentials. It is very, very soft and muted on me, and to be honest I don't get the greens or the mandarin particularly, but a fuzzy combination of all the notes pretty much from the off. This may be due to the tricky tendency of scents to go "SPLAT" on my skin at the moment (or from now on?), as documented elsewhere.
Allowing for this blurry aspect, K NY reminds me of a cross between Kenzo Power and L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme. If we were talking about voices here, Power would be a tenor and L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme would be a bass, making....da-dah!....K NY a baritone, as it fits somewhere between the two. Power has a more pronounced bergamot note and a higher pitched peppery note over its woody amber base, while L'Instant de Guerlain is richer and borderline sticky sweet, but there is an echo of K NY in its very specific woody base. For the record Divine L'Homme Sage I would also characterise as a tenor (though not like this - it is too aromatic).
Britt explained to me: "We wanted something light and sexy but still with depth", and I feel this is exactly what they have achieved. Kristiansand New York smells unique to me (not that I am a huge connoisseur of men's fragrances) and very wearable.
Dare I report what Mr Bonkers made of it? (I have not yet managed to test this on my more receptive male friends, though one has expressed an interest in trying K NY.)
Mr Bonkers' initial response was that K NY made his eyes sting, but that is pretty much his default reaction to fragrance of any kind at the moment, so we can set that aside straight away. Some hours later, I approached with caution and gingerly presented my wrist for a second sniff. "It's better now - in fact I'd even say it's a bit gay." Decoding this apparently un-PC comment, what Mr Bonkers really means is that, far from smelling like something from the Saddam Hussein / Hairy Chest Wig School of Perfumery, the founders of Kristiansand New York have come up with an urbane, sexy and subtle woody-ambery scent that smells equally great on men and women...and for once, I find myself agreeing with him!
11 comments:
I must apologise for Mr Bonkers - he is a bit of a loose cannon, though in some ways, like the eye stinging bit, a predictable loose cannon. : - )
Ines and Bloody Frida, I do think this is the scent equivalent of the "boyfriend cardigan".
Lovethescents - thanks again for acting as an enabler here! And I know what you mean about By Man. That was the signature scent of the friend who is interested to try this - and he also likes L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme - so the odds are he'll enjoy this too. : - )I have also been mulling over the cultural fusion aspect. I am not sure that this scent smells particularly of either location - I associate Norway with pine resin and the smell of damp woollen socks drying out by a wood stove, and NYC with taxi exhausts and restaurant aromas billowing up from pavement gratings. But I would say that it has captured the "vibe" or "essence" of each place: the quiet, "still waters run deep" quality of Norway - and Norwegians! - and the suave, sexy urbanity of NYC.
ReplyDeleteThis scent sounds simply fantastic-- I will now be on the look-out for it, far and wide...
You & Mr. Bonkers are quite the comedic duo-- I'm hoping he will come around one of these days and learn to love scent as freely as you do...
"Septentrionalist"-- What a fantastic word!! I've never been to Scandahoovia (as we like to call it here), so I don't have much call to use it in a sentence, but someday I will-- I just know it!Ah, LCN, I fear Mr Bonkers is too hopelessly entrenched in his view ever to come round to scent - other than the strangely anomalous SJP Lovely, that is. This may be due to his being a typical Capricorn, which of course he would also vigorously deny. That's the being a Capricorn at all, as well as the whole premise of Astrology. Yesterday he argued black was not white, but RED, in the shape of a vase I was given for Christmas. It even said "Black" on the label on the base, but he wasn't having any of it!
But yes, this scent is definitely worth seeking out - I am sure it will appeal to native Scandinavians and Septentrionalists alike!As a Norwegian I found both your review of this fragrance and your impressions of Norway and Norwegians equally interesting, and I think you have captured the Norwegian essence very well. I have not yet smelled this fragrance myself, but now I want to. Too bad it's not available here, I may have to search the internet for a sample.
