If you were to create a fragrance, what would you create?

[mtgprox05]

My fragrance would be called, étendue infinie (Infinite Expanse). Inspired by a clearing in the middle of a pine forest, up in the mountains, at dusk. Surrounded on all sides except for in front by forest, the clearing seems to extend indefinitely. At once overwhelmingly desolate, beautiful, and yet comforting, for you're small cabin lies just behind you, billowing puffs of smoke out it's chimney. The notes are as follows:

Top Notes: Pine, Petit Grain, Fir, Grass
Middle Notes: Juniper, Magnolia, Tobacco, Neroli
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Vetiver

I apologize if the above notes wouldn't work together, I don't know how to make fragrances, I'm just going by what sounds good. What would you make?

No offense but the marketing copy already sounds more like Eau de Thomas Kincaid.

But the notes sound divine!

Thanks Griff! I'm not joking though, I was just sitting thinking of something for a fragrance, and then that exact scene popped into my head. Oh well...

No worries. We all envision entirely different smellscapes when experiencing a fragrance. I still think your note pyramid is extremely intriguing. If I had to add one thing....a bit of neroli in the middle. It changes the landscape to something a bit less verdent and ok, I will say it... kitschy!

Point well taken. Hey, sounds good to me!

[Young Dro]

I would call it Young Dro's "Abdomen Kouros'''

top: bergamont, lavender, cocoa leaves, rose, sage
middle: incense, mocca, snicker abstract, rum
basenotes: patchouli, vetiver, vanilla, chocolade, white musk

lol..just joking i dont know what I would call it

[scentsitivity]

Three notes: birch tar, castoreum and immortelle.

Just a crazy idea that popped into my head.

[EarNoseThroat]

Something that contains, ISO E Super, Marine Notes, Oud, Castoreum, Civet, Ambergris, Incense, Musk, all in one. No Joke.

[jasonx]

I would go for a "sugary sweet strawberry hard candy smell" for Men cuz I', kinda insane about gourmand right now.

[JonB]

I would want something akin to a traditional eaux that had some aromatic herbs in it. Something like a combination of Penhaligons Castile and Villoresi Uomo. And of course, it needs to last at least 8 hours.

[scent]

I would create a floral oriental with the following notes:

Aldehydes, bergamot, cardamom, iris
Tuberose, iris
Birch tar, oakmoss, vetiver, labdanum, vanilla, violet, civet, beeswax, heliotrope, iris

ummm....yeeeeaaahhhhh

[Dimitrios]

hmm , rite of the top of my head as i type
incense , leather , tobacco , oakmoss , patchouli , vetiver , honey , olibanum & whatever other few to make it work if what ive mentioned was possible .

[Ken_Russell]

I have actually quite few fragrance names and styles in my head (not the chemical formulation though, just some very vague and general concepts).
Yet, the ideal frag I would create at all costs and as a main priority would be the most elegant, formal and extremely conservative citrus chypre ever to exist on this planet.

[Mimi Gardenia]

I am definitely no perfumer but I would like ......in a perfect world...to create my own version of a gardenia scent- a well rounded gardenia soliflore with top notch ingredients ( not necessarily natural ingredients ) that lasts and lasts and a good deep drydown .

[timaru]

A great leather/citrus combined with a incensy/resinous drydown.

Eau Sauvage FC with Avignon ending and maybe a little Wazama all the way through

[sunpaul]

Something with alot of Hinoki, incense and some iso e super :-)

[AromiErotici]

I would give an Oriental / Leather Chypre a shot.

[FlyingLotus]

As per my previous thread, I would create a frag that smells exactly like you had just smoked a cigarette, nothing more, nothing less!
