I cannot imagine doing a mint note any better than the one in this Heeley. It's neither toothpasty or overly leafy/herbal (e.g Roadster). I reach for this all the time, though I tend to wear it...
Sel Marin - a realistic of an interpretation of the ocean; and by that I mean, all the positive traits. There is a strong citrus note, salty ocean water, and even a green seaweed/algae type...
OK... I scarcely smell any of the notes this stuff is supposed to contain, just vanilla/tonka bean.
If Le Male were reformulated to appeal to the nursing home demographic I imagine it'd come out...
Hi Scentsucker - I had your experience two days ago of my skin devouring fragrances. I understand how you feel now
I'm still craving earth and green, which I usually do this time of year. AbdesSalaam Legni Pregiati is answering that call well. It's a conifer but much more - rough bark, roots, moist musty earth. It's much like sitting on the ground leaning against a black spruce. Quite realistic and evocative.
Another day of severe windchill and blowing snow, not a very nice
combination. The prediction for 11pm tonight is -28F with -45F wind chills.
Next week is suppose to be better, I sure hope it is.
Good afternoon my lovely smelling scent buddies! Today, I'm wearing another ByKilian, Amber Oud. I'm actually loving it, but it's crazy expensive. I don't know if I love it $400 worth. I read the thread on it and will experiment with a few that people thought were very similar. I'd be interested to hear if anyone knows something that smells very similar. It's just so warm and comforting in this ridiculously cold, icy, snowy weather.
At last - this is enough to try the patience of a saint (and I'm not exactly renowned for mine). Gave up trying to post altogether until now, and guess one or two others probably did the same. Glad to see a few of us eventually made it despite the accursed gremlins .
