What would = Aomassai + Imperial Opoponax?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I know everybody's chemistry (and therefore, the dry-down) is going to be different, but I'm wondering if there's anything out there that might give me the grass & very dry resin scent of Aomassai (that's all it dries down to on me -- no hazelnut or anything else) and the very sweet (maybe too sweet) myrrh and wood that I get from Imperial Opoponax? Separately, I wouldn't buy a FB of either, but when I layer them together...yum. Thanks for any suggestions to a newbie

You could try Eau Lente from Diptyque (grab an Opoponax Candle while you're at it) and Bois d'Armenie and the new Myrrhe et Delires from Guerlain might be worth a shot.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've read that Eau Lente has a pretty strong clove smell --- true? (I know it's probably different on everyone). I LOVE Bois d'Armenie, although it just smells like expensive powder on me --- for some reason, all those other notes that I've read about people smelling don't come through on me. I hadn't heard about that new Guerlain and will check that out...

If anyone else has some suggestions for getting that dry resin/grass and sweet myrrh woody smell together in one scent, I would love to hear them....Thx.
