On the hunt for my next fragrance!

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
I want to add a good gourmand to my collection, but not Rochas Man or H.M. I'm looking at either New Haarlem or Play Intense. I hope you guys kinda get a vibe of what I'm looking for. I'll take any suggestions too!

I'd go with Play Intense as it's one of the options you're considering.

Hmmm you could try Play Intense. The other two I might add would be Dior Homme Intense and L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme

Have you tried Spicebomb?

Play Intense.

And then, if you want even MORE chocolate, L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme.

You have not listed any frag in your wardrobe, therefore I am not sure if your already any of suggestions mentioned below:

- Hermes - Ambre Narguilé
- Guerlain - Tonka Imperiale
- Guerlain - Spiritueuse double vanille
- Tom Ford - Black Orquid (Power Bomb of Gourmands)
- Profumum - Dulcis in Fundo
- Profumi del Forti - Vitoria Apuana - Coconut, banana, vanille, mandarin and orange (Power house)

Alone in a wardrobe they are great but to have both in your arsenal is awesome.

If you're into gourmands you should, sooner or later, explore Parfumerie Generale. Guillame have done an incredible job with this genre...here are a few "gourmandic" suggestions from his range...

Aomassai
Cadjmere
Cozè
Felanilla


...not among my favorites but still worth cheking out are...

Praline De Santal
Musc Maori
Tonkamande

My favorites from this genre:

Musc Ravaguer
Tobacco Vanillie
New Haarlem
Dior Homme Intense

and although not technically a gourmand, you may want to try Coromandel.

And Play Intense doesn't hurt my pocket as much as New Haarlem haha.

I do own DHI! its one of my favorites but I use it verry sparingly being its the vintage DHI! And I have L'Instant de Guerlain, but Extreme is one of those must buys on my list.

Those notes in Profumi del Forti sound incredible, I haven't heard of it before. Where can I sample it??

Alfarom, what's your favorite from Parfumerie Generale?
post #15 of 17
Yeah, I'd just go with play intense. I like new Haarlem more, but the difference doesnt justify the $$$.

Spicebomb is by Viktor and Rolf
