I just had one of those experiences we've all had one time or another.
I was in a bookstore, and the man standing next to me smelled soooo good. I glanced at him, and he was not my type (looked very married). I was in a quandary. Should I introduce myself, and ask what fragrance he was wearing? Would he think I was coming on to him? The only other time this happened to me, I let the man slip away and regretted not asking ever since.
He picked up a book, and headed for the checkout stand. I followed him and stood in line behind him. Was this fragrance worth it? It wasn't as awesome as the one I let slip away years ago.
I finally decided to go for it, and asked the name of his fragrance, saying it smelled really good. He could barely speak english, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. The clerk was waving for him to step forward, and I followed along like a cat that smells a can of Fancy Feast (laser intensity). I was trying to translate his unintelligible words. Finally it came together "Estee Lauder for men".
What? Was he really wearing Lauder for Men, or one of the newer Lauder scents? I didn't trust that he'd given me the correct name, his english was so bad. He might have meant a Lauder for men.
I've smelled Lauder for Men before, and don't remember it smelling this scrumptious, but you know how notoriously fickle chemistry is. I wondered if anyone here could pinpoint it from my description?
The distinctive thing about it was a lack of bracing freshness, possessing instead a clean powdered warmth. The powder was front and center. It might be called soapy on some, but on this guy it was cushy powder. I didn't get animalics or musk - the attraction was more like laying on the couch with someone, watching TV and being content to just smell him for hours. In other words, it didn't want to make me rip his clothes off. It was more....appealing. You'd want to just stand next to this guy and inhale.
Any help?
