Broderie, is a perfume that is highly sophisticated, kind of Classy, and famously known as "the Jewels" of the body. It is very rare and you can hardly see another perfume that has similar smell....

I got a sample of this one from the Imaginary Authors website. This one is a smokey, woody vanilla fragrance. It kinda reminds me of cocoa, since it is very dry and has a bittersweet smell to it....

What makes these fragrances so alluring and metallic? I have been comparing the note breakdowns and have found similar notes and some not so much. I have read that fierce has a chemical in it that isn't safe for men to come in contact with so I am trying to find a replacement for my fierce.

Similar notes:
fir, petit-grain, cardamom, rosemary, brazilian rosewood, jasmine, neroli and lily of the valley

While chrome has a multitude of different notes not sure how it gets its metallic scent. I am mainly interested in finding a fierce replacement or identifying the notes that make it unique.

Thanks

I think it's the pineapple note....PE, Chrome, and A&F does not have pineapple listed as a note here in BN, but if you try Bond No. 9 Riverside Drive... it smells like Platinum Egoiste and has that metallic note... Pineapple is one of the note...

Not to derail this thread, but I have heard that Joop Nightflight! has a similarity in these fragrances. Trying to pinpoint which one out of the 5 (EP, Fierce, Azzaro, Riverside Drive) would give me the best silliage and Longevity.

Might be a worthwhile addition to your search op!
