Hi all,
I've got a slowly revolving door of signature scent, and after running the gamut across all different sorts of fragrances, I find myself constantly coming back to PE. My only problem with PE, the thing that keeps me constantly searching for other frags, are the topnotes. I find PE much too sharp and synthetic when first applied -- it's the basenotes that I really love. I've actually resorted to applying PE an hour in advance before I go out. Since it seems that Chanels can sometimes smell really different on different people, I'll make a note here that on me, the PE drydown smells dry, woody, and quite sweet, with a tinge of something metallic. The part of PE I love most is the smell that remains many hours after you first applied, and lingers in your clothes the next day, etc. I've searched through previous PE threads on this forum, and was really surprised to find that people often tend to like the topnotes, but dislike the drydown!
Anyway, to the actual question: Are there any frags out there that smell similar to just the PE drydown? Or perhaps someone could tell me precisely which notes in the PE drydown I'm probably fancying? I've been a perfume fan for quite some time, but I've yet to reach the stage where I can actually identify individual notes.
Thanks!
