Oliban by Keiko Mecheri

This has been a favorite of mine, heavy on rose and olibanum. There is some smoke and a bit of tobacco leaf, but I mostly get rose and incense-y smoke.

Are there fragrance shops in Wellington that I should visit? I'll be there on business the first couple weeks of February and hope to have time to check out a few places.

The only place I have...

I've had good luck with Scentbird, too: a reasonable range of scents, good decant bottles, and service was fine.

IIRC the main issue had been with cancelling the service. I just cancelled (for...

I keep a running list of scents that are priority buys, based on sampling for the most part. Currently, there are 5 scents on the list. Though I have a loose monthly budget, I tend to buy when I see...
