Hello,
Since my last post, I've been hunting down fragances that smell beachy. I've tried Bond No. 9 Fire Island, Tommy Bahama and Creed Virgin Island Water.
After smelling these, I'm still nowhere closer to getting my hands on a particular scent. I don't know what tyep of scent this is, but I'll do my best to describe it.
The dry down smells very warm. But the warm this not winter warm, its the warm smell you get after you've applied suntan lotion and gone to the beach for a day.
Yet after the suntan lotion note, there is a trail of sweetness, almost melted sugar like. A sweet-suntan lotion smell, yet at the same time very soft - extremely soft not powdery. Like fluffy warm suntan lotion.
Dior Homme is very similiar to the "softness" I'm describing, but it does not have the suntan lotion smell and sweetness with it. Allure Homme Blanche's drydown has a similiar softness, but like Dior Homme, doesn't have that suntan lotion and sweetness to it. Although there is softness in this scent, its the combination of the soft and the warmth - with particular emphasis on the warmth - that I'm after.
All those fragrances aforementioned I have tried, although smelling like suntan lotion, do not have that warmth and "softness" this particular fragrance I'm after. For the past month, I've taken time and effort by going into departmental stores to try as many colognes as I can see fit from the big brands.
I thought Rochas Man would be it after reading basenotes and another site, but its definitely not it - too much vanilla and nauseating.
Can someone please help a tormented soul out?! I've been looking high and low looking for this particular scent, yet having no luck. Oh so I wish I asked this stranger on the street what he was wearing. Now I'm just counting on Basenoters to help me out!
I live in Sydney, Australia so I'm thinking it'll have to be a cologne that is accessible to us Aussies easily :S
Thanks!
P.S. 2:30am, please excuse some spelling mistakes and grammar
