A very joyous Eid al-Fitr to our Muslim friends!
Paco Rabanne

Calandre
(1968)
Michael Hy

Top Notes: Green Notes, Aldehydes, Bergamot
Middle Notes: Lily of the Valley, Jasmine, Orris Root, Geranium, Rose
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Vetiver, Oakmoss, Amber, Musk

A complex and delightful scent and very old-school from the days when only women would have worn such a thing. The top is green, but only slightly; the aldehydes and bergamot are what really come across in the top. Classic floral heart, with the orris root giving a bit of strength and character. A woody-oriental and slightly musky base note finish the picture. To me, this is really reminiscent in tone and feeling of Ténéré (but not really similar), though much less spicy and woody; I think it's the florals in the hearts of both that make for the seeming connection.

A rather stuffy description of a very good fragrance:
“Traditional, masculine scent with spicy undertones. A masculine foundation
of sweet, powdery, leathery, and musky notes further enhance and conclude the fragrance.”

Jubilation XXV by Amouage



Seems like I'm not the only one who got inspired to wear this today, from discussing this on the thread Caeser posted yesterday. Good stuff, and quite lavish for a lazy Sunday at home paying bills and watering the lawn. But hey...life's short - I need to wear these fragrances and stop saving them for special occasions. Every day is a reason to wear something special like this one.

The leaves are already falling here so i'm busting out one of my fall favorites

Davidoff Adventure

Like Guerlain Homme, this scent must use a loooot of a chemical that many are anosmic to in the base as I find the longevity on this to be stellar. Granted, the projection is mild, but it lasts forever on me.
