First post here and let me tell you. After spending 2 weeks on the board - my wallet is hurting.
Here's what i've accomplished so far. Well, let me preface this with following - for years my fragrance of choice was Kenzo pour Homme, with occasional spritz of L'Eau par aforementioned Kenzo. Generally speaking, those were the happy days.
Then recently i got an idea to check on what Kenzo-san have been up to. In rapid succession i got my hands on Kenzo Power, Jungle, Air and Air Intense, Tokyo and L'Eau par Kenzo Indigo. Oh, and Time for Peace. I found all of them, with the exception of Indigo and Time for Peace pur Lui, lacklaster. So this is when i decided to turn to basenotes hoping to find someone to blame for my sudden dislike of Mr Kenzo's output. Big mistake.
Fastforward to present time (2 weeks later). Due to rapid expansion of my horizons, my wallet had considerably shrunk. I now have discovered the honorable house of Harkonn... sorry, Serge Lutens. I apologize for my nerdiness. Anyways, so far i've sampled Ambre Sultan, Arabie, Borneo 1834, Chêne, Chergui, Chypre Rouge, Daim Blond , Fille en Aiguilles, Fumerie Turque, Muscs Kublai Khan, and Vetiver Oriental.
My favorite so far is Vetiver Oriental. I really love it. Really do. It's on it's way, can't wait. Also, bought Chypre Rouge, impulse buy, no regrets. Other ones in transit - Chergui, Muscs Kublai Khan. I'm planning to get Chêne, Arabie and Ambre Sultan at certain point. Fumerie Turque made quite an impression as well. Will buy at a later day.
I guess i'll try to get to the point (thanks for reading, by the way). Based on my favorites from Lutens:
1.Vetiver Oriental, 2.Chêne, 3.Fumerie Turque, 4.Chergui, 5.Muscs Kublai Khan - in that order, should i keep spending ungodly amount of cash with The Perfumed Court on the rest of the samples, or am i at the point where i can veer off Lutens for a short while? Ladies who run The Perfumed Court - you are are not allowed to answer this question.
I'm considering L'Air du Desert Marocain, from all the reviews, it seems to fall perfectly in line with Lutens' oriental theme, which i found myself so fond of. I'd appreciate any suggestions, and thanks everyone, in advance.

). I would advise you to sample L'Air du Desert Marocain first. I found it musty and nothing I would like to smell like.
