Advantages: Quality Persistence Distinctive Disadvantages: Some Men Do Not Like It
Santos de Cartier was introduced in 1981 and named in honour of Alberto Santos Dumont a pioneer in aviation. Considered by many to be the true father of flight, Dumont was a friend of Louis Cartier and it was at his friends request that Louis invented the wristwatch, so that he could keep his hands on the controls while checking the time.
Santos comes in a very smart silver coloured box and the bottle is a dark brown glass with silvered mountings.Altogether very smart and chic.
The fragrance is a blend of lavender, basil, bergamot, nutmeg, cumin, juniper, sandalwood, cedar wood, patchouli and vetiver all pretty much standard ingredients for a mans fragrance but notable for the number used and the skill with which they are combined. This is a very distinctive fragrance, as you would expect from Cartier, in my opinion much more ...

Advantages: Garden State, Breathtaking Scenery, Stunning beaches, Vibrant Cities Disadvantages: As with most of Brasil, long distances between places, no rail network
Heres an update for the state of Espirito Santo (ES) so that people don't get the wrong idea about this part of Brasil.
Vitoria - the Capilal and the largest city in the state - a vibrant city and port on the coast. Airport links directly from Rio De Janeiro. Beach OK but sea could be better actually on the city waterfront. However, excellent beaches to be found at Vila Velha a short ride to the North of the city. Vibrant nightlife with plenty of bars, nihgtclubs and restaurants. Convento da Penha is a marvellous church on a large hill overlooking Vitoria. Breathtaking views of the city and well worth the trip. Culturally, there are plenty of Art galleries and museums to keep you happy if this is your thing. As with most cities - watch the traffic and keep your valuables close to you. Common sense prevails!
Beaches - resort ...

Advantages: Fantastic scenery fantastic beaches friendly people Disadvantages: Infrequent bus transport; entertainment hotel based
Took a late deal and found ourselves at the Hotel Victoria Playa, Santa Tomas.
Hotel is basic 3 star, clean, daily maid service, all very acceptable. Some rooms offer country-side views with the sea backdropping over.
Food is out of this world: varied choice on a half board basis offering Buck's Fizz for breakfast among other things! Extra special touch on Friday nights offering champagne at evening meal, king prawns, carvery.
Good idea to go half board as most restaurants are hotel based and therefore much more expensive to the customer.
Entertainment is also limited to the hotel. Cabarets start at 10 pm may be too late for those with young children. Only a couple of other bars within the resort. Would not suit teenagers or very young couples. Hotel geared mainly to suit families with children of 12 years of age ...
