And I don't mean fragrance family (chypre, oriental, etc.)- I mean fragrances that could be in a make-believe "family," like brothers and sisters and whatnot. Here are three examples:
Diesel Zero Plus and Escada Magnetism- If you are familiar with these two, you would know that they seem to share very similar basenotes, though their characters in general are quite different. I'd say they are brothers- Diesel Zero Plus is the in-your-face, attention getting bully at first notice, but after you get to know him for a while, he's actually very sweet and a lot deeper than you expected. Escada Magnetism is much more shy, sort of reserved and, well, a bit fruity. Though he's nothing like his brother at first, you'll find that he's actually quite similar. Maybe he's not as sweet, but he seems even more sophisticated and deep.
Jaipur and Acier Aluminum- These were twins separated at birth. Jaipur was raised by a middle-class family with good morals. He likes to party a bit, but never gets too crazy. If you push him too far, he'll get in your face, though, and you might regret it. He may be a bit rough around the edges at times, but he's really a nice guy and usually pleasant, but not when the weather gets hot. Acier Aluminum, on the other hand, was raised by a very wealthy family, and definately spent his time in finishing school. He's super-sophisticated, and no matter how hard you push him, he keeps his cool. There's nothing at all rough about him- his clothing is sharp and pressed, his skin is well-groomed, and is personality is kind. He's a real ladies' man and always knows what to say- and they can't keep their hands off of him.
Millesime Imperial and Unforgivable- MI is a very well-off kid. He has a wonderful family and a terrific upbringing. He was something unique and very special, even if his ADD kept him from sticking around long enough to really enjoy his presence (the ladies said he didn't last very long, either
). Mrs. Lauder was upset at not having such a great son, so together with the evil Dr. Puffy, they stole some of MI's DNA and made an exact clone. Unfortunately they were unable to capture some of MI's subtle nuances, but were happy with how exact a clone they were able to make with the cheapest possible materials. Most people can't tell the difference between the two when they first meet, but those who know MI know how much more sophisticated and refined he is than his synthetic clone brother.
Of course, fragrances don't have to be brothers- it would be nice to see some brother/sister relatives (try to be more creative than the For Men/For Women varieties if you are going to do a brother/sister comparison...) or father/son combinations. Let me know the fragrances you think are in the same "family!"
