    I don’t know about that black pepper but I’d sniff it just because it’s developed byFrancis Kurkdjian……even though the man has hardly ever made a decent fragrance **wink wink**

    Take a look back at the ad for Antonio Banderas Seduction in Black – this one is a complete ripoff!

    Is it just me, or is there some creepy Adolf Hitler vibe going on with that ad? Whatever it is, it gives me the creeps!

        Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But I guess the hair might be a bit Hitleresque. At least it wasn’t parted down the middle.
