Are there any fragrances that bring to mind vivid images of certain places or times? I know I do! To start..

You can also have some fun and perhaps make the pic into a fake ad campaign :laugh:

hmm. I like this thread, but I don't know how to paste images :-(
Once you get the image URL, just put [img] and [/img] around it without any spaces and there you go! :D
MPG's Ambre Precieux. I don't want to post any sexual images :) but it has a middle eastern vibe to it that feels red and gold. Very much reminds me of Morocco, from it's architecture, market and also Moroccan bathrooms, with lots of lovely ladies giving you...errr....

Couldn't find better pictures, the first one is accurate of the message at least.
Dear Ekovo, the upper pix are Ottoman influences found in Syria (Damascus and Aleppo). Moroccan Motifs are more colorful and the Arabesque is far more intricate. I'll attach some pics later in the day.
Ah, I haven't been to Syria in a while. I don't remember it looking that good. They're certainly Ottoman influences and I can think of Turkey probably having them as well. I'd highly appreciate pictures if you have better ones of Morocco! thanks.Quote:

HAHA! Are you sure this isn't the ad campaign for Dior Homme? This is exactly what everyone says that I smell like when I wear a sample of it.Quote:

Strangely enough, I just checked, and the film the image is from (Trip to the Moon) was released in 1902, shortly before Apres L'Ondee was released in 1906.
dunhill pursuit reminds me of Petra

Petra is an amazing, mind blowing experience. It's hard to explain to people just how humbling it is to be surrounded by such amazing work that was done so long ago.Quote:

I looked up Dunhill Pursuit and saw that many referred to it as a fresh and soapy scent. Not exactly what I remembered from Petra. haha
