Current Favorates: (Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Td'Hermes, A&F Fierce) - What else would I like?

All of these fragrances have an "X Factor" that I cannot quite pinpoint. I believe its their "airy" quality I love about all of them. "Airy", "aeromatic" is the best way I can describe them... fresh, exciting? Anyway...

Based on these fragrances, what else would you recommend I try?

I don't know about Fierce, but I own TdH and Grey Vetiver. TdH also has vetiver, so maybe that is the "X Factor" note that you speak of. So, I suppose you may have a liking for citrusy vetiver. There is one called Paul Smith Story that is grapefruit and vetiver. I don't think I'd recommend a blind, since I don't think it is as good as the other two.

Malle's Vetiver Extraordinaire -'ozone' airy.
Creed Erolfa - 'sea air' airy.

Fierce has to vetiver to speak of... i'm more focusing on the airy quality of the fragrances, which Fierce has in abundance.

Malle's way too expensive for me, but thanks for the recomendation, I'll have to sample it sometime.

Erolfa I've tried, didn't think it was all that honestly. Come to think of it, I don't really like any Creed fragranced much...

Yeah, vetiver can give an airy vibe. You can try Encre Noire, Sycomore, Fumidus and Vraie Blonde.

I've heard some say that Chanel Platinum Egoiste has a similar smell to Fierce. Don't know how Fierce smells personally, though.

Creed OV. If you don't like other Creeds much, you might still like this one. It definitely has the most modernized green/airy vibe in the Creed line.
