I love vanilla..I know I know, how bourgeois of me. But I do. I've tested dozens of vanillas. Found my HG of vanilla..Indult's Tihota.
I also love spice, gourmands, orientals of all kinds, green florals, citrus-all kinds, synthetic marine notes, woods that aren't too sharp, sandalwood, many fruits (especially red fruits including berries, and peaches), roses, lilacs and lily-of-the-valley, refined musks, amber, tonka, soft leather, chocolate, patchouli, balsam, almond and tea. Not too crazy about castoreum (too medicinal), tuberose in high doses (headachey), tobacco, benzoin, bitter herbs, mint, & neroli/orange flower (except if added with a light hand), though there are many exceptions to those rules. Love vetiver if it's sweetened a bit. Incense is growing on me, and I love it in small doses. Same with myrrh. I'm still not sure what galbanum and labdanum smell like.

I'm thrilled to share my fragrances. There are a few that can't be decanted:

Osmanthe Yunnan (running low)
Eau Lente (same)

A few I can only part with small 1-1.5 ml samples. I'll let you know..it's just a few.
