Looks like Serge Lutens is a house you should explore. Serge Noire and Doce Amere have cinnamon.

Glad to see the chemistry master back!

Interestingly I get a mineral note from Balade Sauvage.

From another perspective there are some perfumes that smell like deo. I think now I know what Gris Clair smells like.

Was able to see the nuances in it today. Found it way better than when I tried it in the store. Pretty nice. Went up some positions in my Nasomatto ranking.
Cameron, the hashish note seems to be the...

I don’t know Oxygene, but Sport is boring. You can buy way better freshies.
Kenzo Pour Homme is pretty unique, but it very plain now, different from vintage formulations from the 90’s that were way...

Actually it’s a scrubber for me. Encens et Lavande, on the other hand...

These are the old exportation bottles. Not sure if it has ever been available in bell jars.

The most mainstream Serge Lutens for me. It strongly reminds me of any cheap designer I can’t put my fingers on. Joop! Homme without the sweetness came to my mind but it’s not it. It’s not listed on...

Sorry, I didn’t see you mentioned Prada. But I believe the clean smells of Pradas are more related to iris than musk.

A Prada version of Terre D’Hermès. That would be interesting.

Wow, Amouage is in a high speed lately. Now I guess I just know half or less of their catalogue. Hope they keep the quality we usually find in the brand.

Love this. Didn’t know about any mushroom in it or people talking about this, but I can see where it comes from.

You are needing some vitamin D. lol

:grin:
Isn’t it?:

It’s not exactly what I remember it to be in a sample from the 90’s, but not far either. Memory can be playing tricks to my mind or it’s just the missing oakmoss.

Add Pura to this list.

What an ugly bottle!

I feel like the older one is more warm. The newest are more dry and less complex. It’s still Fahrenheit though and easily recognizable (pretty unique).

Burberry Touch, Prada Amber.

Your collection is missing a freshie like Eau de Rochas Pour Homme or Armani Eau Pour Homme or something spicy.

The difference is that the clothes get smelly instead of you.

JK. Fragrances develop differently on fabric and on skin. You will notice this clearly when you’ll gonna like a fragrance on a tester...

Tom Ford Noir de Noir. Try before you buy a full bottle.

Ripe mandarin: Moschino Fiends if you can find some
Guerlain Mandarine Basilic is excellent, but not so realistic like Friends.

Not very versatile though. Like Antaeus.

This. If you find it heavy for summer, try Amouage Journey or Cartier Déclaration.

Guerlain Derby, L’Heure Bleu, L’Heure de Nuit, Le Frenchy

Fahrenheit was reformulated some times since its release. But it’s still recognizable. The skeleton is still there, the skin changed and its soul was sold. Even this way, it resisted as being a...

When Fahrenheit arrived to you didn’t you have the impression you had smelled it before?
It will be a rare event if you never felt it before on the streets/work/anywhere else.

LOL. You really like to live on the edge!
Do you like things like bungee jumping? :grin:

He was a genius. And knew how to gain money for being so. At least he made the success he deserved when living, different of many painters.

Glad to see you liked it.

It seems you committed the same mistake as meant bought the female Rive Gauche thinking it was the male. At least for me it was a good mistake since I loved it.

Oh, right. Hahaha. I think you both won’t like Eau De Campagne then. lol

Never tried the subs. Will do next time.

I like how so many consonants together sounds. It’s beautiful. If I’m not mistaken, this is even more evident in Russian and some oriental languages. Sometimes it’s funny cause the spell of the word...

:confused:
I didn’t understand the comparison.

EDT is still my favorite version despite I haven’t tried the Parfum yet. I find it more rounded. I haven’t noticed this synthetic opening. Gotta try it again. I don’t think it will bother me....

Anything Parfums de Marly.

Nasomatto Baraonda.

Hahaha, I love the German language! I wish I could talk. But it’s a bit hard and not the most practical languages to learn since it’s not as spread as English or Spanish.
Aluminum? So the weapon...

A person who doesn’t believe unicorns has no future!

The female Rive Gauche has strong aldehydes and is flowery/powdery. Despite not being similar, it can be compared to Chanel No5 IMO.

I feel like this baby is yet to be born.

First time I see a refillable mass destruction weapon.

London??? Nah. It is even in the Mariana Trench.

Yes, there is. Actually I have a hard time with pineapple notes such as apple. They smell very synthetic to me, with few exceptions like Ambre Narguilé and Un Jardin Sur Le Toit. I like the synthetic...

There’s something VERY wrong with you! lol
Interesting to read some opinions about it in here. I find it VERY good and don’t think the perfumes cited in here are better substitutes to it at all. Not...

I used to like this until I started finding the pineapple note very strong and synthetic. My favorites Burberrys from the “designer” male line are Touch and Brit, followed by London.

Fire with gasoline.

Intrauterine age.

Thought about this one either, but it can be a bit old-school for him, such as Polo Green and Bel Ami.

I would add Masculin Pluriel, Sartorial, Prada Amber Pour Homme, Cacharel Pour L’Homme,...

Wow! 300ml of the male version of Dior Pure Poison. Killer! To die for.

:grin:
How I wish!

LOL!

If you haven’t tried yet, I suspect you will like Dior Jules.

Wow, that’s an impressive mark! When I say you’re a walking fragrance library I’m not kidding! For me trying new fragrances is the most interesting thing in this hobby.

I didn’t get tea from Issey...

Yes! Gold Man is bold and oldschool. I like this kind of fragrances a lot. It reminds me some things from the female perfumery.
Burberry Sport has exactly the same construction of DHS 2008, with...

I can’t get all this complexity out of it. All I got was something smoky or dusty. Will need to retry it with a more “clean” nose.

Ps: no, no cocaine in it. Better and smelly drugs though.

I believe a real sandalwood note is hard to find nowadays like Andy said.
Egoiste is indeed nice for what you are searching for and maybe Bois des Iles (a bit powder and some would consider leaning...

Acqua di Parma Colonia Pura. First time I wore it was on the beach. Fitted perfectly the occasion (beach vacation).

Excellent one.
Also try Portrait of A Lady, L’Eau d’Hiver, Dans Tes Bras (musky floral), L’Eau Serge, De Profundis, Joop! Homme, Hermès Hiris.

+1 for Lyric Man (it’s clean and dirty at the same...

You mean you didn’t get calone in the Issey or in Acqua di Gio Essenza? Essenza is the only fragrance in which calone smells like the famous “egg” smell some people get from the note.
I don’t know...

I still need to buy a bottle of this gem.
Regarding Burberry Sport you told below, it’s funny to see some people disliking it and liking one of the versions of Dior Homme Sport that’s very similar...

Try Duro.

Don’t badmouth Roadster! :grin:
Polo Sport is the typical aquatic/melon kind of fragrance of the 90’s.

Interesting. On my skin it smells more animalic than Kouros. I get a sort of civet note in it that blended with honey is able to give me one of the most animatic feelings in perfumery.
Bigsly made a...

IMO doesn’t deserve the name Kouros in it.

I liked this much more than the regular Issey. L’Eau Bleu D’Issey is very exotic. If you haven’t tried it yet, I recommend.

This presentation makes me think about calone. Not sure if it’s because reminds me the style of Acqua di Gio Essenza presentation.

Moss Breches
Santal Blush
Oud Wood
Grey Vetiver
Noir de Noir
Tuscan Leather
Noir Antracite
Noir Pour Femme

I thought I liked less Tom Fords. Actually I dislike the latest things I tried.

Next chapter: Eau de Pubic. Following the evolution of the night.

Except for some very few fragrances like A* Men I wear anything I have.

This one is great.
So is Lutens Un Bois Vanille and many Guerlains of which vanilla is one of the main notes.

Burberry Touch
Eau de Cartier
+1 for:
Insolence EDP
Putain des Palaces (despite being powdery)
Dans Tes Bras
De Profundis

Renaissance to me. It’s more refined.

Yuck!
You found Floris chemical and Parfums Marly not? Hard to give an opinion.

Mine is one with the red tie and the batch code indicates it’s from July 2021. So I suppose it’s from 2011. Made in Spain by Puig.
I don’t think it’s merely a matter of olfactory fatigue. When I...

Hahaha. When it arrives to you let us know what you think about it.

It was reformulated again indeed. It’s watered down again, just like it was when it was launched. Hope they will correct this mistake.

This fragrance and Salvador Dalì always intrigued me. Never saw any of them anywhere to try.

Burberry Touch
Eau de Cartier

Huh, I didn’t even know the term “Oriental” was used in a slanderous meaning. Instead of stop using the term, how about stop being xenophobic? It’s interesting cause a lot of places where xenophobia...

From Atelier I would suggest Santal Carmine, Oolang Infini, Silver Iris and Rendez-Vouz.

For me it would also be in this order.

Jubilation XXV.

Seems to be one more in the world of the zillions flankers that has nothing to do with the original. If they would at least keep something like Code Ultimate in production.

Pink pepper can smell a bit dirty on my skin, like body odor, dirty clothes, a bit like cardamom and cumin. Despite liking cumin and cardamom, I have a hard time with fragrances with overdoses of...

I love the smell of Nivea soaps and body lotions as well as the smell of many sunscreen lotions in general. Some air fresheners are also nice, specially one with amber. A shampoo from Elsève called...

Fahrenheit Cologne. It remembers Fahrenheit in the opening. I didn’t get anything of Fahrenheit in Fahrenheit Aqua, but the name and the violet.

The only thing that comes to my mind is Tsar, but harder to find and not niche.

It, Ambre Nuit or Dior Homme Original.

I thought storks were still delivering them, aren’t they???? :undecided:

When the clubbers were born.

I used to avoid Versace Man due to the cheesy presentation. Couldn’t have been more stupid.

When buying a perfume the devil is always telling me things.

Here's a little description :

If you already got samples of Sycomore you’re in the right way.
Some people aren’t sensible to iso-E super.
Comme des Garçons Vettiveru is a nice choice.

Eau D’Italie
Sisley
Annick Goutal
Serge Lutens that once was a superstar. Now it’s suggested very few.
