So faithful that I got the memory of a place I stayed before recognizing the smell as burning leaves - I didn't register at the time that that was what I was smelling there, this made me realise.
Psychedelic butterfly white flower nectar.

Ripe. Charming. Gives me obscene thoughts about secretaries.

A strong red rose tamed by pepper, releasing an even wilder side.

Love it! Brings back memories of hospital antiseptic, but good ones.

Human, not animalic male musk. Could pass for body chemistry.

Tart saffron, a strong but light spicy opening and mids, the baton passed to pink rose, then oakmoss-fresh musk, patchouli lingering at the end. A perennial go-to, still novel even having been made in 1996.

Filthy rich. A super classy Jovan Musk, wearable this century.

Went to the public restroom to wash it off worried I might leave smelling more of it than when I arrived, felt a little bit like a victim of a cruel prank.
A benchmark, only for the very brave.

Here a real gothic. Strong, dark, serious, still light-hearted enough for everyday use.

Rose, stronger than aoud here though tempered by it. Conservative like Montale Aoud Damascus but in Dark Rose the rose plays the greater role, sweeter and less powdery.

Electronic smoke. Blown speaker. "Oakmoss".
