    Today I happened across a rather large Mexican supermarket. Had some familiar items and many unfamiliar, but I now know where I'd get Superior 70 if I wasn't sensitive to it. Didn't pick anything up but two things stood out.

    1) Eucaliptino 70. It was right next to the Superior and from the bottles appears made by the same folks. The scent was surprisingly pleasant, not the punch in the nose from a drunken koala I was expecting. Anyone tried it? Wasn't priced but I may have to pick some up.

    2) Siete Machos Urania cologne. Tall black bottle, $8.99. Under the cap is foil sealed so I couldn't tell what it smells like; all I can tell from googling is allegedly leather and powder notes, and that it's evidently used in some brand of witchcraft. Anyone familiar with this stuff?

    A local CVS just put in a section with Florida water for around $3. Too bad I don't like the stuff.

    I'm always down with leather but powder, not so much. Was that description accurate?

    I don't know much Spanish, but Siete Machos Urania sounds like 7 Men's urine. I could be wrong though. Probably better than the Veg. :p

    Even if that's an accurate and literal translation, you'd be correct (not that I'd want to find out).

    Urania was one of the muses of Ancient Greek myth. "Siete machos" in this usage probably means "seven male animals", goats I assume. It is associated with witchcraft.

    (My Spanish is not that great anymore, if someone knows better, please correct me.)

    From Amazon, about Siete Machos Urania cologne;

    Aphrodite would be proud. This elixir of myrrh, leather, sandalwood and alicorn (unicorn horn extract) is just the ticket for dates, seances, rituals etc. Women will want to be with you and men will want to be you. Don't use too much, though. If you do, and happen into the woods, be prepared for a visit by a mythical creature. Also, I don't recommend using it on a full moon. I was once stalked by a lycan under such circumstances. Overall great product. I can't guarantee that it will increase unicorn sightings, but it seems to have helped.

    Sounds interesting. Nice looking bottle.
