Plum

[richardjamesedt]

Haven't seen a thread on this, but forgive me if i missed it.

Recently discovered I like plum as a major note. What plum fragrances do you like/recommend?

Very familiar with Cuiron and Voleur de Rose (and like both).

Cheers!

Annick Goutal Mon Parfum Cheri Par Camille

[hednic]

Montale Black Purple

[Sugandaraja]

Sonoma Scent Studio Vintage Rose.

[Titan]

Some mention smelling it in Michael Kors. Plum doesn't stand out to me so much as it's amongst the dried fruit notes. You like Cuiron so you should give MK a try.

[gandhajala]

Serge Lutens Boxeuses.

[mr. reasonable]

Annick Goutal Mon Parfum Cheri Par Camille

Yup, give this one a shot.

[d4N13L]

Feminite du Bois

[Ken_Russell]

I get a strong plum note from Trussardi Jeans

[donna255]

Vintage Rochas Femme.

[mikeperez23]

I, personally, detest plum notes in fragrances, so when I encounter them they usually ruin a scent for me. I agree with gandhajala, it's in Boxeuses by Serge Lutens.

[HazelMae]

Le Parfum de Thérèse

Mauboussin/Mauboussin

[jclaxton78]

Jacomo for Men (Jacomo Silver).

[MikeNY]

I get lots of plum from the new Bond Number 9 release Andy Warhol.

[firehorse]

Annick Goutal Mon Parfum Cheri Par Camille

Yup, give this one a shot.

yup, yup +3
kind of plum wine

[gandhajala]

Thinking some more, 10 corso como has quite a distinct ripe plum note.

[HazelMae]

Annick Goutal Mon Parfum Cheri Par Camille

I can't wait to try this, it sounds awesome.

[L'Incandescent]

+1 to Feminite du Bois and Rochas Femme vintage.

[JiveHippo]

Creed Acqua Fiorentina, marketed for women but totally unisex IMO.

[furrypine]

Mary Greenwell - Plum
Pretty expensive though..

[allabouteve]

+1 more on the Feminité du Bois, the plum-note here is very prominent!

[pluran]

YSL Opium (women's)
Femme (Rochas)
Talisman (Balenciaga)
J'Adore (Dior)
Voleur de Roses

[Master-Classter]

I can't quite recall which one, but I'm pretty sure one of the Canali's or maybe a Paul Smith has a prominant plum note. maybe it's Canali double black?

[hedonist222]

The Feminite du Bois extrait.

I don't get plums in Voleur de Roses.

[BrianH1016]

If you want to go for a cheapie that I sometimes see at Marshall's/TJ Maxx, Liz Claiborne's Lucky No. 6 features a prominent plum note.

[PuddleMonkey]

ok everyone settle down, the self proclaimed plum expert is here. I too have a plum fetish, and what you're looking for can be found below.


Frank No.2







Biehl Parfumkunstwerke - AL02

[PuddleMonkey]

half of the scents mentioned above smell nothing of plum, and some, some don't even exist. Canali Double Black? lol



listen to me Richard, that Frank No.2 is priced right at $65 for 65ml. only problem for you is it's out of stock 90% of the time.

[shadesofbleu]

Also: Bond Success Is A Job In NY

[supernaan]

7 Wonders Of The World by Eclectic Collections. Cheap as chips (extremely cheap) and comes in 100ml EDP sizes. Top notes include plum and it's is quite a natural plum smell.

[Dorje123]

Liasons Dangereuses By Kilian. Plum and Rose are prominent and well blended, making for a juicy, sweet rose. Very feminine, IMO. Like it but couldn't wear it, and I'll wear Voleur de Rose, Rose Oud and Lyric Man, so I'm not afraid of rose!

[Partario]

Biehl Parfumkunstwerke - AL02

+1 on this.

Also the top notes of New York Oud have a prominent plum note as well, though they don't stick around for the full ride.

[Master-Classter]

half of the scents mentioned above smell nothing of plum, and some, some don't even exist. Canali Double Black? lol

lol yourself, no need to be dickish about it. I meant Canali Black Diamond, but it's probably not the plum noted one I was thinking of. Anyway, everything everyone else says is wrong anyway right since you're the expert...

I'm glad we agree

[laph]

Serge Lutens Boxeuses +1

[Sugandaraja]

I love AL02, but I find it more a stewed fruit scent rather than fresh plum. That being said, it might be the best stewed prune note you've ever seen.

[Renato]

The Original by The Gap - very strong plum note plus leather.

I love AL02, but I find it more a stewed fruit scent rather than fresh plum. That being said, it might be the best stewed prune note you've ever seen.

hmm, is it stewed the way uncle Serge does it? If it is, I might have to try it.

[Nasenmann]

Michael for Men (by Michael Kors)
Bois d'Ombrie (by Eau d' Italie)

I like them both.

[Sugandaraja]

hmm, is it stewed the way uncle Serge does it? If it is, I might have to try it.

Stewed the same way but not the same fruits. I once did some kitchen tomfoolery involving burnt sugar, apricots, and cumin and that sauce reminded me strongly of the Arabie accord. AL02 is more apples, pears, plums stewed with some cinnamon-clove combo. If you could extract the fruit from Fille En Aiguilles ( which strikes me as a sort of apple-steam note ), it's be the closest among Serge's line-up.

Liaisons Dangereuses from By Kilian



Lucky Number 6 from Liz Claiborne

[richardjamesedt]

Wow, so many helpful suggestions! Thanks guys, I can't wait to begin the hunt.

[tiberije]

Acqua Fiorentina by Creed. But then again this is female scent that my wife wears.

[leecher88]

Activist by Body Shop
Kapsule Woody by Karl Lagerfeld

both very good and not expensive !!

[dougczar]

Here are my favorites that have a nice plum note:
Bond No. 9 - ILNYFME
by Kilian - Liaisons Dangereuses
Bond No. 9 - New York Oud

[L'Homme Blanc Individuel]

Bond No. 9: Andy Warhol. Plum, plum and more plum.

[Wit_Siamese]

Bond No.9 has some dents with plum, but my favorite is the opening of NY Oud.

[heperd]

I get lots of plum from the new Bond Number 9 release Andy Warhol.

this one. Plum incense.

[tonyreekie]

Im fond of plum too and am checking this out next week in London. Seems to be a main note.

[Kybid]

Yep, Bond no 9 Andy Warhol.

[Duke Hunt]

Another one for Frank No.2

[Zgb]

Boss Bottled has tad bit of a plum in notes composition and that shows on my skin. Amouage Silver Cologne is, however, another level and much more better and refined than the former mentioned.

[martinijo]

Michael Kors, smoky boozy plum.

[The Bark]

Took me a while to read a few NY Ouds, but the more I wear it, the more the plum sticks out. Also, Frank no. 2 as others have suggested.

[staticx]

Gap The Original
Lacoste pH

[Trebor]

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Amouage's Opus I...

[Sparky]

How about HdP 1740 Marquis De Sade!

[alfarom]

Serge Lutens Boxeuses.

Annick Goutal Mon Parfum Cheri Par Camille
