Hi everyone,

I have a question that I would like everyone's opinion on. Recently I have tested Chanel allure homme, John varvatos original(2004), Prada amber, ck one shock, Chanel bleu, Boss bottled night, issey miyake intense.

Some of my favorite notes are vetiver,patchouli,incense,amber and woods.

I am not sure which one to buy as I am looking for a fragrance to use from December to mid march. All comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Randy

None of the ones you list are recommended.

I would say something like Anat Fritz by Anat Fritz will mesh well with your preferences. Only a couple of your "likes" are missing... It swaps in dry sandalwood in place of amber in the base and is missing the incense. LuckyScent offers it and sells samples...

Also worth a look is the discontinued Nemo by Cacharel that still sells for reasonable money on eBay.

I tend to gravitate towards warm and spicy in fall/winter, if that helps. Warm vanilla, spice, amber would fit that bill (if the amber is noticeable in the one you mentioned). Think spicy cookies, cider, smoke, wood...you get the drift.

You can go with Prada Intense , good sugestion or :

F Absolute ( nice incense )

Pure Malt

Borneo 1834 ( great pachuli )

Body Kouros

Narciso R ( should be pachuli based , but it is not... tipical fall frag )

Gucci Envy ( if u can find this one )
