The other day I had an orange and some chocolate in my trash can ( dont ask why) , but it smelled like heaven to me. The orange was not citrusy but more like a creamy orange mixed with a powdery chocolate. It was amazing and I just hope I can find a cologne like that.

But to the question , what notes would your dream cologne have.

Mine would be...

Top: Mint, Coffee (the highest quality french vanilla coffee known to man)
Middle: Caramel, Vanilla, Chocolate (emphasis on the chocolate and caramel)
Base: same as the middle notes + Amber, Tonka

Basically a sweetened up A*Men, take out the woodiness and amp up the chocolate/caramel, especially increasing the longevity of the caramel note. Plus have more mint to it, i find A*Men has almost no mint


Actually i'd have two, a more floral yet masculine one and my gourmand one

Top: Mint, Lime, Apple Blossom
Middle: Tobacco, Blood Orange, Jasmine, Heliotrope
Base: Leather, Tobacco, Vanilla, Patchouli, Vetiver

Ahh, as often as this topic comes up, I have a new set of dream notes imagined...

Just now, it's a perfect, un-citric, heady, not-too-sweet rose floral.

Top: Red Currant, Ivy, Rose, Peony
Middle: Rose, Pink Pepper, Mimose, Peony
Bottom: Tonka, Frangiapani, Santal, Musk

A very sweet cologne that is undoubtly masculine, during the whole process, so top and base notes.

A Cinnamon heavy gourmand, as I have mentioned in the past. I was only thinking about this the other day, what I would put with the Cinnamon. I figured out that it would be good to open with some non citrus fruity notes like pear and gooseberry. Beyond that, I've not worked it all out.

A very formal, elegant and classic citrus scent like Acqua di Parma, Armani Eau pour Homme or Hugh Parsons Yellow
