**********Update******** (I removed hashish smoke from notes and added Szechwan pepper and switched some strengths)`
Looking for my fantasy cologne or something close with: (notes) <rating 1-10 of strength>...

(Black Pepper) <8> (Szechwan Pepper) <6>, (Oakwood) <6>
(fresh cucumber) <6>, (aqua) <4>,(peppermint) <4>, (lime citrus)<3>,
Any suggestions of specific colognes that are close to this?
Thanks! BTW if you didn't figure it out it's a quite spicy, slightly woody, light, refreshing, natural fragrance with a pinch of peppermint/lime !

Yea forget your whole list and check out Kinski. Real smelling marijuana note but still light because of a fresh, weird, plastic and vetiver smell. Its great. Very hard to get refreshing and smokey in one.

And there is something "aqua" in Kinski too. This is an odd fragrance but I love it and it is on my list to buy at some point. At least a decant. I just have a small sample I got from another basenoter and I find it to be very interesting in a strange way. And quoting from Luckyscent's website...

The Scoop
KINSKI the fragrance is a richly decadent, textured scent produced under license from Kinski Productions, to mark the 20th anniversary of the legendary actor's death. Effervescent notes of cassis and juniper provide an uplifting contrast to the dark notes of madness evidenced in castoreum, smoky vetiver and dark woods. The image of Kinski portraying Count Dracula in Werner Herzog's expressionistic cinematic masterpiece Nosferatu The Vampyre emerges, as the heady notes of blood-red wine rises from the dusty, dirt floors of an unlit cellar. Dry herbs crackle softly as they crumble in hand. Salty oceanic notes reveal themselves in the heart, inspired by Kinski's love of the sea. The animalic and woody base of the composition reflects Kinski's almost feral sensuality.

Try Zino also. To me its refreshing in a different way than todays fragrances.

To stick a bit with Davidoff, a further rare and uncommon recommendation: Relax, a meanwhile discontinued frag, which manages to add up most of the notes mentioned.

Sounds like La Fumee by Miller Harris.

By the way Kinski has an explosive (pun intended) gun powder opening. I love it.
