Bois Des Îles by Chanel, 1926
Reviewed by demcav

The balance of this gorgeous fragrance, top to bottom, is masterful! The rose in the opening 15 minutes is the first Spring blossom of an Austin Fair Bianca. Along with the florals, a deft hint...

This smells like a deeper version of Pulp. As if the perfumer wanted a calmer, woodier version than the blast of fruit that is Pulp. So basically this smells more interesting and complex, more...

What a beautiful citrus. Sweet, tangy, realistic orange with hints of white flowers for seriousness and wearability. My only criticism is that it fades into soap on my skin, but on fabric it...

To my nose, this is a rather simple fragrance that starts with grapefruit amd ends with woody rose. If that's what you're after, you should try it.

I'm absolutley in love with NR (EDT, Musc Oil, EDP) in that order. Does anyone know of anything out there similar?

The warm heart & base notes in specific. I just love the warm, sensual almost nutty vibe it has.

Anything guys?

I consider Chanel Antaeus, NR for him, and Shiseido Zen for Men in the same general group. I own and love all of them. I've always loved CA, and when I first smelled NR, it reminded me of CA. I also felt ZfM reminded me of NR; didn't love it at first but ended up doing a 180 on it!
I'm not saying they're very similar or are clones of each other but FOR ME, this is the answer to your quesiton. A lot of fragrances have a warm sensual base but their other parts aren't like these.

I remember when I just started out, I was asking in the JSO board for suggestions for something similar to Fahrenheit. And the most answers I got were NR for Him and Grey Flannel. While I do not find them to even be cousins, they definitely all have the prominent Violet leaf (correct me if I'm wrong) note?

*My references are for EDT only, never tried the others.

I assume you own Narcisco so don't want an exact clone. You may want to check out Rochas Lui, Beckham Intimately For Men, Usher VIP, Lauder Beyond Paradise For Men and Eau De Cartier.
