Remember that low-cost baby cologne that I shamelessly
promoted 2 years ago? Well, I had some pretty agonizing months recently because
I can’t seem to find them anymore. I horridly thought it died in oblivion. I
thought, alas, why didn’t I buy heaps while it was still sprouting like
unwanted mushrooms in that poor little corner of the grocery store? Yeah, some
really good things had to end soon. So much for regrets.

But, little did I know that this fragrance, once unassumingly
dressed in blue plastic bottle, has to get pimped too. Earlier today while
shopping for toiletries, just to pay homage to “Michael”, I passed by that
little corner in the grocery where my once beloved colognes sat. That was when
I bumped into the little guy, but now, in a new outfit <wink>. He now
comes in a cuter packaging of 50ml transparent plastic bottle with a blue
cover. The transformation is not much. It could pass for a tiny baby oil. But the very idea that the manufacturer, GV
Cosmetics, made an update must have a very good reason for doing so. A sales
growth, perhaps?

Why do I post about this?
Well, I rarely recommend products but when I do, it’s because I truly
appreciate them. Michael Cologne is one of them because, as I have said before,
some of the best things come in “cheap” packages. It is still the same old
powdery-citrusy-musky-sweet scent that is distinctly Michael. This new one
costs only Php 27.50, guys. Trust me, this is one of the few stuffs that are
worth more than they appear to be.
