Apparently they’re now using cactus in men’s fragrances. What will they think of thinking about for thinking reasons thinkingly next?
Until a short time ago I had never heard of Annie Oakley fragrances….
Uh oh, that’s not a promising start for any article.
(T)he biggest surprise and by far my favorite in the group is Stampede. It… contains “woody herbals, cactus rose and the essence of Spanish moss.” Frankly, I have no idea what is meant by cactus rose, unless it is a nickname for cactus flowers… In any case, Stampede is much softer in character than many masculine types of cologne and is very easy to wear.
Well, I think I’ll pass. I don’t think a cologne called Stampede is right for me, even if they do use cactus flowers and tillandsias. Maybe we should sell it at the nursery. Would you buy it?

I would have to smell it first.

Let us know if it’s any good.

Cactus Rose is the female version of Desert Rat. I suppose that would sell more cologne than the alternative.

I have tried both Stampede and Sagebrush (Sagebrush is the second fragrance marketed to men by the House)…and must say I love them both! Only Stampede works with my chemistry however. It is the first fragrance I have bought for myself in years, and only the second since transition. It is simple, masculine, and signature. True, it is a bit light as well, but that is a great thing for those with chemical sensitivity. It has also inspired me to broaden my fragrance collection beyond a single scent, and I now adore the note of Oakmoss!

I too have chemical sensitivities, and so generally shy away from all fragrances, even cactus and moss based masculine ones.
