Fresh 'fruity/berry' scent

post #1 of 20

Thread Starter 
Hi guys, recently I've been enjoying Thierry Mugler's A*Men Pure Malt - to me the opening is kind of fresh and fruity, almost like a sweet berry, obviously it dries down to a more caramel whiskey dry down, however I really love the topnotes!
I was wondering are there any scents that replicate similar notes or smell to a fresh fruity/berry? Thanks!

Your description/question reminds me of Dunhill Pursuit. It is slightly sweet, and I very much enjoy the top notes. The dry down is mild and enjoyable. It is a fragrance suitable for about any season or setting.

That's a new trend? Try Tom Ford Black Orchid. Creed too has some instances of that idea - Himalaya, isn't it? An austere rendition is Yves Rocher Black Iris. The zillage of it is sheer black berry while the wearer metaphorically said 'snowblinded' finds him/herself scented by powdery/green/violet iris root. A fisher for complements, makes You self assured in a complex scent, signals a suprising single note, and with it Your eagerness to the surrounding, quite a good trick 8-\\

Yeah it's more of a summer scent. It's very fruity and exotic. I get a lot of berry out of it and if you're looking for something else that isn't really a summer scent but smells a lot like strawberries, try Black XS.

Thanks for the suggestion guys!, I might have to give Black XS a revisit, at first the sweetness got to me a bit and I found it a bit annoying, but my opinion may of changed... to be honest, I'm gonna try all of them... thanks guys!

Costume National Scent/Scent Intense fits your bill and can be had for cheap.
Keiko Mecheri Ume is worth a try too.

If you're looking for a 'sweet berry' type of note, you may want to sample Rykiel Homme by Sonia Rykiel.

WORD!

Even the "regular" Mure et Musc would give you wonderful blackberry.
Another blackberry scent I've discovered recently is The Different Company's Sublime Balkiss. All three of these would smell fantastic on a man!
