Scents in the city?

Anvers!
definitely

Venezia uomo

Passage d'Enfer

Diptyque Galliano

first things that came to mind...

You know, in a rainy climate, I think that the most beautiful scents to wear is fougere scents for some reason...how about Grey Flannel or Burberry London for Men?

If you are interested in some CdGs and their Incense series I'd recommend you check out their #3 as well. Cloudy incense with a touch of green.

Fahrenheit, reminds me of winter rainy days

Try iris scents! This wet and rooty smell would be a pandane to rainy weather!

But if you like leather note (as I can see from your choice), I can name some more:
Cabochard by Gres (don`t be confused by feminine part of it!!!)
Parfum d`Habit MPG (see the fantastic thread about it!)
Cuir de Russie (Chanel or Creed)

And my usual suspect - Route du Vetiver by MPG!!!

Hey madvillain

I'm 19 and live in Vancouver as well, that makes two of us. I don't know if this fragrance fits your description very well or what your looking for, but I think L'artisan Voleur de Roses is a must have fragrance if you live in Vancouver. I own this one myself and love it. The scent just blends in very well with the type of rain we have. You'll get what I mean when you test it out for yourself.

I love what Adeel had to say about it:

"Picture yourself as a young child walking through a grassy field. Raindrops falling gently as the fresh moist earth squishes under your bare feet. You pull some roses carefully from the thorny bush to give to your mother. Placing the roses gently in the front pocket of your overalls you look to the orchards. Reaching up you pick a ripe plum hanging from a branch heavy under the weight of fruit and rain. Sitting down on the moist earth you bite into the plum dribbling juice down your chin onto the fresh picked roses.
Welcome to the world of Voleur de Roses! "


Good Luck

You rang?...

First of all, Shifts and Nsamadi are right on in their recommendations. The CDG Incense series and Voleur de Roses are exactly the scents you need. Of the Incense series, I recommend Jaisalmer (which is spicy, warm, earthy, a tad sweet), Kyoto(which is cedary, relaxing, has a bit of coffee), and Zagorsk (Cool, piney, a bit of iris, very bracing). Voleur de Roses is great for rainy days, because when you wear it, you don't know where the rain ends and you begin. Very damp, earthy, and just a beautiful drydown. Some hate it, so sample first. I love it though, but it BEGS to be worn in the rain.

And it does sound like you need to try the CDG Synthetic series. I've tried them all and I have Skai and Dry Clean. Skai is amazing in my opinion. Very warm, vinyl record smell with some incense and a burnt paper smell. I've gotten alot of compliments, and I wear it when I want to put out the artist vibe. Dry Clean is kind of simple, but very long lasting. Minimalist yes, but there is something carefree and nostalgic to it. Garage and Tar are both very odd, and the drydowns are hard to describe. They may be too weird for you, or they may be just weird enough. Soda is nice, and is true to the name. Also try Odeur 53. Its one of the coolest scents of all time, and it doesn't even seem like a scent sometimes.

Definitely try Voleur de Roses and the CdG Incense and Synthetic series'. And also, as Marlen recommends- try Passage D'Enfer. It doesn't strike me as urban, per se, but its one of my all time favorites.

happy hunting.
