The smell of cleanliness, an Armenian blend from Paris:
Xeryus Rouge doesn't follow the previous "Gentlemen" line that Givenchy had produced in the past -- and for a damn good reason, too. In 1995, aquatics and floral scents were blossoming like pretty little flowers, and dainty, cutesy fragrances that were "light" and "floral" were sweeping the world of colognes -- Givenchy, balls in hand (probably both hands necessary), strutted forward and burned the Lavenders, the Lily of the Valleys, and the citrus notes -- replacing them with the very things that man was not made to touch, for the fear that excessive bleeding would occur. Cactus, for example, and a slew of spices that would make Columbus sail around the world yet again in search of them, were all thrown together to create a Frankenstein of scents; the only thing in the world that says it's middle name is "dangerous" and doesn't bullshit around; a scent that is synonymous with "manly", and has a name which appears to be French for "Lethal Amounts of Testosterone"
But don't let that fool you, because underneath this beast lies a beauty. Believe it or not, when Givenchy created Satan's Lotion, he actually put some human soul into it; and there's alot that people tend to miss. For example, the top notes are smooth and mellow, with softly-sweet notes of living cactus and kumquat, which give off such a powerful vibe, that it seems to cause a ripple in the fabric of space itself. Every whiff you get fluctuates between mellow and powerful; the harmony between evil and good is in a fine balance as you inhale the soft subtleties of kumquat, followed by the harsh dryness of cactus -- but it's this balance, this yin and yang to Xeryus Rouge, that accentuates the fragrance as a whole. There is no overload on sweetness, nor is it shy on the woodsy backdrop; everything in balanced in a divine way. It's really quite hard to get tired of this cologne, or to not be able to appreciate it, because of the way it is constructed. The kumquat and cactus are the primary top, heart, and base notes, penetrating through the triangle as a duo, and being enlightened by the other ingredients in the scent. The setup is similar to a Boucheron's Jaipur, but rather than being heliocentric, it remains triangular, except as you descend in each layer, the ingredients favor the cactus and kumquat, which is a remarkable achievement, considering that every layer has a handful of ingredients that are placed specifically to complement the cactus/kumquat combination -- and this is absolutely crucial to how wonderful this scent really is.
Consider it this way: you have a setup of Cactus and Kumquat that are always present, but since those are relatively "fruity" (in the manliest way possible), the strong woodsy and spicey subnotation gives way to a relatively large influence of smell, based on whichever note is coming out. Now, since we have a duo acting as the center of the stage, we can assume that any two of our spices/woods are going to blend in with the scent at any given time, but given the similarities between the woods/spices, they won't blend together. The effect is literally an everchanging cologne, with a slightly different rendition of cactus and kumquat every hour. There is always that apparent notation of these two key ingredients, but the scent that lingers along with them is what's evolving. You may find yourself with a cactus/cedar and kumquat/pepper combination, but half an hour later, you might smell cactus/musk and kumquat/germanium, or any mix of the wonderful plethora of ingredients that make up Xeryus Rouge.

UPDATE: MEMPHIS CONGRESSMAN STEVEN COHEN SHOVES ARMENIAN AMERICAN JOURNALIST OUT OF PRESS CONFERENCE
WASHINGTON, DC - Memphis Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN) today forcibly removed Armenian American journalist Peter Musurlian from a press conference, apparently frustrated by repeated calls to explain his Congressional opposition to legislation recognizing the Armenian Genocide, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
"Apparently we need to send Congressman Cohen a copy of the first amendment as well as the state penal code," stated ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. "Physically throwing out a reporter committed to getting the facts on his opposition to genocide legislation, is nothing more than a high school bully tactic and is conduct ill-befitting a Member of Congress."
Musurlian, who works for a public access TV station in Burbank, California, in addition to running his own production company, Globalist Films, had traveled to Memphis to document the days leading up to the contentious August 7th Democratic primary between first-term incumbent Steve Cohen and challenger, former civil rights lawyer, Nikki Tinker, for LA based Horizon Armenian Television.
Following a series of unanswered interview requests filed earlier this week, Musurlian attended several Cohen public events on Tuesday evening, documenting his campaign activities and looking for an opportunity to speak with the Congressman. Musurlian's efforts to participate in a Wednesday press conference, hastily called by Cohen at his own residence, were cut short when a volatile and clearly agitated Cohen forcibly shoved Musurlian out the door, slamming it in frustration. Throughout the process, Cohen made disparaging references to Musurlian's Armenian heritage, and proudly stated his opposition to human rights legislation commemorating the Armenian Genocide. That resolution, H.Res.106, has over 200 Congressional cosponsors and was adopted by the House Foreign Affairs Committee last October. Following Committee adoption of H.Res.106, Cohen was a leader amongst a handful of Democratic legislators opposing full House passage of the resolution, going so far as holding a Capitol Hill press conference against the human rights measure.
"Genocide must be universally condemned - whenever and wherever it occurs. Rep. Cohen's opposition to Armenian Genocide recognition today, begs the question: Which genocide will he oppose commemorating tomorrow?" noted Hamparian.
In the weeks leading up to tomorrow's primary, Armenian Americans in Memphis and across the U.S. joined Emily's List and the Congressional Black Caucus PAC in supporting challenger Nikki Tinker. Tinker, in response to an ANCA Congressional Questionnaire, pledged to support House passage of Armenian Genocide legislation, as well as legislation to put an end to the ongoing Genocide in Darfur. The ANCA has endorsed Tinker and encouraged community support for the candidate, resulting in over $35,000 in contributions, a large portion donated through http://www.actblue.com/page/armeniansfornikki, organized by Memphis activist Dany Beylerian.
Rep. Cohen's actions against Musurlian were the top news story throughout Wednesday on Memphis television and radio stations. Links to the raw footage from the Cohen shoving incident and local news coverage are available on the ANCA website at www.anca.org .
Polls for the Congressional Democratic primary are set to open at 7:00am (Central Time) on August 7th.

Armenians do help decide who shall become president of the USA, AGAIN!
Armenians split on CLINTON and OBAMA. Genocidal "Turkey's" lackey President verbally insulted Obama. ARMENIAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE ENDORSES BARACK OBAMA due to (click link) Samantha Power connection and a clean record on opposing genocide. But ARMENPAC ENDORSES HILLARY CLINTON since OBAMA is not yet co-sponsor of SR 106. If OBAMA becomes a co-sponsor, he wins with Armenian power. If not, Clinton wins part of the 1.5 million Armenian-American vote. Google in ARMENIAN http://www.google.com/intl/hy/
