Caldo's "Moss" Cologne?

topic posted Thu, November 8, 2007 - 8:08 PM by  MacMorrighan
Hey guys, a while back something really crappy happened to be at our local Target, one afternoon! Well, for the longest time they were selling a new line of mens' products under the brand name of Caldo--I have never seen this for sale anywhere else! Anyway, I found them selling, under this line, an *amazing* cologne that smelled soooooo sexy, called either "oakmoss" or "moss". So, time when by, and I noticed that their selection dwindled until I noticed they had two "Tester Bottles" on display, and no new bottles for purchase. Well, one day I finally had some money to afford a bottle, so I asked a sales person about this, and he brought along one of his "higher ups" when they told me that they didn't have it in stock anymore, and couldn't get it in either! (I could never even find it at Target.Com) So, they took both bottles away (one of which was 100% full!) and threw them away right in front of me, rather than offering to allow me to have one (or even buy one at a reduced price)--I could hear the bottles break as they delibberately threw them into a trash can so that they shattered. I was sooooo pissed!!! That was one of the most amazing cologne that I've ever seen (and *I'm* picky)! I just wish I knew if there was anything I could do about this. *sigh* I wonder if Caldo has a site anywhere (I haven't been able to find one), or if I could contact someone at Target.Com, or even my own local Target?

Take Care,

    STEP ONE:
    do spell to acquire sugar daddy.
    STEP TWO
    smile and ask sugar daddy to purchase cologne for you immediately after smelling it
    So simple.
    Here are some suggestions. There are online perfume discount estores that often carry discontinued items. Just google discount perfume, there are tons of them. I have bought from perfumebay and a few others.
    However, I know people who work for the industry and the general rule is that it is ridiculously secretive so you may never find this Caldo... it could be something they purchased from a tiny bankrupt European company that has never been on the web or something untraceable.
    Oakmoss was recently banned in the EU for ridiculous reasons ( a tiny number of people might get a rash) so that may be why it is no longer available. However, oakmoss absolute is very very inexpensive and available online for a few bucks, so why not make your own? It is a goopy difficult material but I have diluted it in vodka or in an oil base and it smells incredible.

      Oh, oakmoss is HEAVEN!!! Sometimes I'll just open up my baggie of the herb just to take a quick whiff. Too bad that the EO is so expensive (ditto with Musk Ambrette EO!).

        Oakmoss expensive?
        I have bought mine at Liberty Natural and it is five dollars for a quarter ounce of absolute... which is a HUGE amount that you need to dilute at least twenty to one. It is uber powerful, so you could even buy less and dilute it into a very large amount of scent.

          REALLY?! DAYUM! 'Cause, every source I usually tend to find on-line sells about 5 ml. for around $40 or so!!! Does this "Liberty Natural" have a site? Oh, and...how similar to the scent of the dried herb (which smells sooooo good! *drool*) does the EO smell? Sadly, the local stores only sell a fragrence oil, which is why I ask. I've never had the opportunity to smell the REAL eo.

            I just read a post on basenotes.com that stated Caldo "Moss" is very similar to Davidoff's Cool Water cologne for men. So you might want to give that one a try.

              Really? Thanks!

              Whew...aren't colognes and perfumes the BEST love potions (literally!)? I had dated someone that I wasn't particularl attracted to; but the next day I had found that the scent of their cologne was all over my winter coat which had me frelling twitterpated!
