I'm craving THIS accord: Honey, Cumin, Dirty Musk

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
I'm looking for a kind of Untitled No.8 meets AbsolutePLS meets Kingdom mashup.
Is there anything out there?!
I'm sure I'd have heard of it by now

It seems all the popular animalics out there are discussed in so much depth, there is nothing new in this area to discover!
I want something to blow my socks off >

Any suggestions anyone?

BEAST by CB I Hate Perfume. Possibly layered with his incredible musk.

Trumpet Flower by Illuminum

Never heard of either of them! I will look into them both.
Hednic, I have heard no good things about the Illuminum line, do you rate them much? That's the first time I've ever been recommended one.

I like your thinking forfreddie. I will follow this thread and test out the recommendations

Have you tried Micallef's Red Sea? That will certainly deliver you the cumin however it would need to be layered (with Kouros maybe?).

Micallef's (ok, actually it's a G.Nejman, but that's part of the Micallef brand, ultimately) Emir. There's definitely cumin and I get a nice honey note, too, along with a burnt-wood oud note (imagine if you could take JUST the oud note out of L'Artisan's Al Oudh. It's that burnt wood note!). Not so much dirty musk, but there is a dirtiness to it thanks to the oud. Also, there's a dry orange and grapefruit note present throughout. It's basically Terre d'Hermes + oud, with some Ambre Narguile mixed in.

Damn. I was going to suggest Absolute Pour Le Soir

Also - no cumin, but a wonderfully dirt honey and musk in Byredo's M/Mink. It also has a dark inky note, a raw labdanum, and a beautiful incense accord. A must sniff, imo!

I can't find Beast anywhere, not on the website, not even a review! Very strange
As for M/Mink, i've briefly sniffed this on card and was very intrigued, will definitely have to try it on skin now after the recommendation thanks
Ooh I'm one of the Kouros haters but I've needed a reason to dive into Micallef so I will definitely try Red Sea, the Emir sounds fantastic as well will have to hunt that one out!
Brilliant suggestions guys
Any more?!

Closest ones that come to mind are APLS and M/Mink. Maybe layering is the way to go.
