Thread: Winter daytime scent |
Hey guys, really simple thread here.
I'm keen to buy a woody spicy winter daytime scent and have came up with a few possibles. I know these are wildly different, but let me know if you have a preference out of my list and feel free to suggest other alternatives. I wear Dior Homme Intense and love it, but think it less a work scent and more a night time fragrance.
Comme Des Garcons 2 Man
Costume National Homme
Cartier Declaration
Burberry London
CDG2Man. Royal Oud fits that bill well and there are some good online deals.
Burberry London
Carbone de Balmain
Viktor and Rolf Spicebomb
Varvatos
Costume National Homme. Real nice scent, plus it's an eau de parfum, so it has good longevity..
L'Artisan Eau Du Navigateur.
Comme Des Garcons 2 Man is a good choice, and I'll add Gucci Pour Homme from 2003, made under the direction of Tom Ford; smoky woods and spicy. Getting harder to get hold of, seems Gucci is hell-bent on discontinuing everything Tom Ford had his hands on..
I have Burberry london and highly recommend it.
London and Code
For something that's a little sweeter, try Le Male (I'm starting to love this stuff more and more)
Chanel Égoïste!
“To defeat an enemy you must know them. Not simply their battle tactics, but their history, philosophy, art.”
Grand Admiral Thrawn
CK Intense Euphoria, spicy, woody, and pretty subtle, if you're looking for a work scent.

CDG2Man
From what you have listed, I'd go with either CdG2Man or Declaration. Along the same lines, maybe check out CdG Wonderwood and Terre d'Hermes. If you have the chance, maybe check out Nasomatto Pardon and Nasomatto Duro.
From your list go with CDG 2 Man. +1 on Gucci pour homme, and if you cant find it just grab a bottle of Dirty English as they are similar enough. I think CDG 2 Man blows both out of the water though. Also try Hermes Bel Ami as well for a spicy leathery daytime scent.
Burberry London from the list you mentioned. It's unique and veg well done.
As for others I'd recommend for woodsy spicy;
Frapin 1270
Serge Luten's Chene
Egoiste
Dirty English
Gucci Pour Homme
Burberry London
Egoiste EDT (not the Platinum version)
Thanks folks. I've tested CdG2 Man and really liked it, but just wanted to seek opinion before buying. Think I'l test out Burberry London first before pulling the trigger.
Of the ones you presented, I would say Costume National Homme, with CdG2 Man a close second.
Some of my personal favorite spicy/woody ones are:
Tom Ford Bois Marocain
Gucci Pour Homme
Dirty English
Chanel Egoiste
Bond No. 9 I Love New York for Marriage Equality

Dolce & Gabbana The One
Lubin Idole

Definitely try London, great fall/winter scent.
Burberry London!
As a fan and admirer of Jean Claude Ellena, Declaration will be my obvious choice. As a spicy scent only for winter, Burburry London is great.
-But why not check out Annick Goutal Sables and Frapin Caravelle Epicee?
