Your ideal fragrance
Here is something to think about. If you had the creative freedom to make your own cologne what notes would it have?
My ideal:
Top:Mandarin
Middle: Leather notes
Base: Tobacco and wood notes
This frag would be very mature and strong but that mandarin would blend in it to tone it down and give it a sweet , fresh and pleasant smell at the same time that you could use all year round.

Re: Your ideal fragrance
Great post. Mine would be:
Top: Jasmine
Middle: Leather
Base: Amber and Musk
Re: Your ideal fragrance
That would be an interesting scent, and a real challenge in some ways to keep the jasmine on the top and the leather above the amber/musk...Originally Posted by moss1310
Re: Your ideal fragrance
Top: Cardamom, Chocolate, Rum, a little Pepper
Middle: Nutmeg, Vanilla, Palm Wood, Cinnamon, Praline,
Base: Cedar, Bamboo, Black Leather, Gasoline (or Petroleum)
or better yet.. Fahrenheit + Ambergris

Re: Your ideal fragrance
My perfect fragrance would be a perfect eau de cologne with natural ingredients and a little longevity. It would have bergamot, neroli, lime, orange blossom, musk, and rosemary.
Re: Your ideal fragrance
I like spices and rose mixed with patchouli and tobacco with maybe an incense/cedar resiny flavour in there.
Or... I'd like the darkness of Black Orchid with a rich dark rose underpinned by the rich woods of Cartier Santos with the sweet seductive luxury of fine sandalwood oils in there. All combined with an exotic spicy edge of cardomum with a hint (and I do mean a hint) of cumin.
In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...
Re: Your ideal fragrance
Sounds good.
Id like to throw in musk as well.

Re: Your ideal fragrance
I agree - as long as it's an authentic musk not some of the bloody awful synthetic musks you get today.Sounds good.

Re: Your ideal fragrance
Based on the notes I like the most, something including the best combination of the following or just a group of them (since basenotes are prominent, as per the notes mentioned): vervaine, patchouly, musk, tobacco, cinnamon, juniper, vetiver, sandalwood, amber, benzoine/vanilla, oakmoss, cedar and jasmine.
Based on fragrance - styles, smething very traditional in spirit, powdery yet masculine, with good longevity (6 to 8 hours), very complex but with limited sillage.
Re: Your ideal fragrance
Interesting Thread
I would go with:
Top Notes: Vanilla, Lavender
Middle Notes: Bergamot, Vetiver
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Ambergris
a woody vanila fragrance... I would call it "Eau de Bois du Adesor"
