Smoky wood, camphorous mint, and some spice. The resemblance to Tiger Balm is apparent but Esprit du Tigre is softer, smoother, and altogether more wearable. However, it's not something that I...
The vintage version:
The top note is a pleasant floral-citrus mix with a bit of neroli, that in the drydown adds lavender and later a woody notes. Towards the end a light and not unpleasant...
My ocean scents are this, erolfa and sel marine. Of the 3 this smells the most like the ocean. Imagine you are walking along a rustic beach on a cloudy cool day, and the sea smashes against the...
I didn't like this scent at first. I found it amateurish and a bit redundant. I gave my sample away to a buddy that's a womanizer. End of story.
I walk into Scent Bar looking for Wode by...
Depends on how woody you want it. If you're looking for deep woods, you might like Norne by Slumberhouse or Italian Cyprus from Tom Ford's Private Blends. Light woody is a different, but I own and enjoy Aventus (the cedar note is awesome), as well as Terre d'Hermes (though, again, it's not heavy on woods).
Comme de Garcons's Hikoki, but probably not a blind buy as it can be a bit polarizing and the steamy hinokiburo notes in the opening might be a bit offputting for some, or Sequoia.
Designer: Terre d'Hermes by Hermes (dry ceder and sharp orange/grapefruit with monster longevity and excellent projection from the edt) and Cacharel pour L'Homme by Cacharel (cedar and sandalwood... sublime)
Niche: Padparadscha by Satellite (a smouldering spicy scent with a gorgeous slightly sweet sandalwood base) and Maestrale by Profumi di Pantelleria (a gorgeous cedar and rhubarb scent with a effervescent vetiver base)
DuNezDeBuzier, I must completely agree with you. I absolutely adore Gucci Pour Homme I. It breaks my heart that it is discontinued and very difficult, let alone expensive, to buy.
In addition to Gucci pour Homme, Hinoki, and Dark Aoud, check out Comme des Garçons Kyoto, Le Labo Santal 33, Frederic Malle French Lover (aka Bois d'Orage) and to stretch out a bit, Amouage Memoir Man (which gets quite woody in the later dry down).
