Up front in smells like oud... the sawdusty variation of oud (which I personally like). After 15 minutes the synthetic aspect of it is more apparent but it's still pleasant. I'm quite happy...

I don't like this one. There is a bottle of this stuff in my cologne cabinet for something, like, 12 or 14 years. It comes on too strong. It's supposed to be leathery but it's spicy blast of...

With spring coming up I thought I would purchase a new fragrance to try out. I'm looking for a new skin or nautical fragrance. I really liked L'eau from Serge Lutens but did not purchase it based on the advice of basnoters, does anyone have any better suggestions for a skin fragrances?

For nautical I usually wear Millesime Imperial from Creed but I was wondering if anyone had any better suggestions on this front as well.

Gucci Pour Homme II would be worth looking at. It's projection is a bit subdued, but it lasts which is nice. Another suggestion would be Bleu De Chanel which reminds me a bit of Creed's other aquatic named Erolfa.

Welcome!

Lutens L'eau is not much loved here because it's far away from Luten's much beloved style, but it is not bad within the fresh synthetic style. The newer L'eau froide is perhaps even starker and more interesting.
