I also like Demeter, if for no other reason than that I can do stupid writerly things like wearing Bourbon and Paperback and smelling like someone spilled bourbon in a used bookstore. I will not, however. Escada came out with a bunch of new stuff over the past couple years, either this is one of em or there isn't a "for Men" version.

Which is maybe good. Do I want to smell like passionfruit. Maybe if I mixed it with the Bourbon. Actually, after seeing just how much the Demeter Bourbon does in fact smell like bourbon, I splashed some single-malt Scotch on myself to see what it would smell like. It smelled like I had wasted some really good Scotch.

I think you have a better shot at getting away with this than I do. But such a memory trigger But for the most part I cant stand strong perfumes on anyone. I'd rather smell sweat than a bad cologne. Spraying shit on yrself at your desk. Why dont you poop on your desk while you're at it, save some time.

Primitive part of the brain, apparently. Limbic system. Honestly, I can actually see myself taking on certain traits of hers. The perfume thing seems to be a major signifier of the transformation. I am so put off by bad smells, that I've actually decided not to date guys I really liked otherwise.

My bf has severely bad foot odour probs and I'm really struggling to deal with it. Lisa sparxx lost in golf bet 2 cocks I hate it. Theres this smell between urine, faeces and B. O that humans get. A clammy greasy kind of smell. He has that smell. I only have a tiny smidge of Mitsouko left in the old-school bottle given me by my beloved granny - only scent she ever wore.

It's one of the few things I've got to remember her by now. She told me a story once about being stuck in a super-posh hotel room in Singapore, I think with some ultra-rich brats who were splashing Joy bloody expensive around like lemonade. This afternoon I smell of garlic from my lunchtime salami. Hello, fellas. That said, I wear Annick Goutal's Petite Cherie, which only makes me sneeze 3 times when I spray it and I think it smells like pears, although it is described as: vanilla, peach, musk rose and freshly cut grass.

Kind of weird, since I try to stay away from vanilla scents, but I love it. I've got opium parfum, it's really strong. I might got for mitsouko tonight and work on the object of my affection's limbic system. The absolute worst perfume I own is Oceanus from the body shop.

It smells like Ferring on a cold day, yet I can't bring myself to bin it. It'll be the work only perfume after the Chloe's gone. I wanted to buy my grandmother Bojour's Evening In Paris, which she used to love when she was my age she tells me. It's been reissued in America, but the cheapest place I can find it won't let me buy it without giving a state. I don't have a state, or a Canadian province, because I live in the UK.

It gave me a UK option in the pull down menu, but I still had to give a state. My signature smell is Chanel Chance. I like Allure Sensuelle and Coco too, though No. I like Vera Wang Princess. I guess I tend to like "young. When I feel like a grown-up rare I wear Givenchy Amarige.

Kinda smells like cake or something on me for some reason. I praise and sometimes wear cK one why because it lol 90s. Diddy's Unforgivable. Totally apt name on that last one. I remember a New Girl coming to my middle school and she had this awful, rubber factory-esque smell to her. It was unexlplicable, until one day I saw her with a bottle of Tribe.

Wonder if Jaymc remembers her I will be lol 90s til I die, I guess. I've been using a sample of Stella by Stella McCartney lately. Hope to get a gift card for xmas to buy it with. Yes, that is what I need. Anyone read basenotes. Amazing the different 'notes' people get from the same perfume.

Such as aforementioned Kenneth Cole Black. I am a fan of this also. Some of those people are OTM re: Black, though. It really does smell like tobacco, smoke and mint, only nicer. I read somewhere that the main note in Chanel's Chance what I wear almost every day is hyacinth, and I never realized that before, but it completely explains why I love Chance so much.

When I was a little kid, I went behind our house and found a patch of hyacinths growing, sniffed them and proclaimed them "the coolest thing I have ever smelled. Forty-four men wore the same T-shirt for three days. Australian open golf 2018 betting odds Women then sniffed the shirts and indicated which ones smelled the best to them. They preferred the scent of man whose major histocompatibility complex MHC -- a series of genes involved in our immune system -- was most different from their own.

In mice, it has long been known that MHC not only helps ward off infection, but it also plays a role in scent and mate selection. From an evolutionary perspective, choosing a mate with a different immune system makes survival sense. Kids of parents with different immune genes are more likely to be disease-resistant and are therefore more likely to survive.

The women in this study also reported liking the scents that reminded them of their current or previous boyfriends, showing that MHC attraction is consistent. I wear essential oils for the most part--usually something with vanilla in it sandalwood vanilla, lavender vanilla, etc. For some reason, if I don't have a touch of vanilla in my scent, it fades too quickly.

Think I'd like to get my hands on some Elysium again. Can't do the Chanels when it is hot out. You know, re weather, I was just thinking; I don't really think about perfume in the winter, more about soaps and lotions. Laurel , Monday, 8 February fourteen years ago link. I totally think about perfume in the winter.

What else does an atheist want with frankincense oil. My winter routine is: Prada lotion or cocoa butter, frankincense oil or Chaos or Comme des Garcons Avignon. Bees don't usually trouble me in the summer because I don't wear big floral fragrances. I will also go for anything with cedar oil in it when wearing wool because it's the only thing moths hate that smells good.

I don't wear colognes or perfume to work generally. I think I am too PC on this level, I don't want to offend anyone with allergies or oversensitive olfactory senses. Drugstore cheap: Love's babysoft mist kinda baby powder with a little floral. I have never been bothered by bees attracted to perfume, but maybe it's because I am not in the bees environment too often.

I really like the ideas of cedar oil - it smells nice and earthy with the added benefit of no moths. Great idea. Oh wait I do have a bottle of Chanel No. I'm still a Guerlain fan got L'heure bleue, Chamade, Mitsouko, Nahema, Apres le ondee, chant des aromes, Jicky, Shalimar, mouchoir de monsieur, petit guerlain, vol de nuit plus a few aqua allegoria lighter scents and some of the modern ones that i've got as presents.

I used to really like Jean Paul Gaultier, but I was wearing it today and it just reminded me of Faygo grape soda or rock n rye. I've been watching the BBC4 documentary series on fragrances and it seems to have triggered my inner perfume geek. Lisa sparxx lost in golf bet 2 cocks Eternal roxymuzak , Wednesday, 21 August ten years ago link. There are some that I dislike, even hate, but I really just love the whole concept of perfume, and there are so many wonderful smells in the world.

A woman came into my store the other week wearing Portrait of a Lady, and it smelled so lovely. I don't know if it's the same in the US, but some of the online stores that stock it will sell you twenty samples and let you get a discount, to the value of the samples, if you buy a full bottle.

I have Encens et Bubblegum which is self-explanatory and Rien which is quite a bold, powdery leather. A lot of their fragrances are more interesting in theory than in practice so the sample route is a good one to go down. In my experience, some of the stores that stock their stuff really don't like the brand for some reason. The bottle had a weird rubber outer covering that made it feel like a sex toy, but if you accidentally dropped it on the ground it wouldn't break.

However, that little tab on the nozzle would always break off, so I'd have to depress it with a key or a pen cap or something. Went through three bottles of the stuff in the early s. Smelled like cucumbers, bergamot, with a hint of cardamom. My wife hated it and said it smelled synthetic.

I don't believe her, but I don't wear it anymore either. At Barney's they have those smelly tubes you can dunk your head into and really get into those scents. Orange peel. I also like the alcohol-free Le Labo, I forget what it's called, but it's good for kids, like, designed for your baby.

I met a guy in and he was wearing a really intensely beautiful cologne, it was really intense. It converted me from the "wearing cologne is vain" to the "wearing cologne is a treat for yourself and those around you". I tried to smell-remember the scent he was wearing because I was too shy to ask him what it was. Apparently Bowie is famous for wearing it.

I have a small bottle but I'm rarely in a situation where it is called for, it's pretty flamboyant. Creed stuff is all really good but prohibitively expensive : I treat myself every few years when I'm in London. I like Millesme and Vetiver. Eternal roxymuzak , Thursday, 22 August ten years ago link.

I wear Floris "Eau de Santal" It is such big business, too. If ever I make that hit record the first thing I'm gonna do is design and market a scent. There are lots of good non-luxe scents around that can be picked up really cheaply at discount places. Hot, semi-sour, salty, and immediately recognizable from human evolution. I'm frightened to ask how they achieved this!

It's also sickness, something sick and hot and possibly dead nearby. Maybe in the saltiness, maybe the sour tang has a pinch of blood too but mostly it's the smell of fear to me. It's not perfect, but it's pretty close. Has nowhere near the staying power though. Lolita Lempicka, it was good for the whole day if you put it on in the morning.

You used to be able to get a box of little samples from Etat Libre d'Orange. A lot of places would credit the cost against a full bottle so they were effectively free. I'm not sure if they still do that, or whether Secretions Magnifiques is still one of them, but it's worth checking. It doesn't smell great, tbh, but a lot of their other ones are very good. After a 18 months on it and I'm still addicted to it I guess I'm Philosykos for life now.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. It's damn expensive but then the last bottle of the parfum, which is manlier I think than the toilette, did last me 8 months or so, so It's a bit of a hit shelling out the cash when you do need to though. I love the nose who created Philosykos, Olivia Giacobetti. I have a sample of Philosykos but it's too woody for me, but I love it on others.

My current fave is Geranium Odorata also Diptyque. I think i'm getting into fragrances. I just bought a v small bottle of Maison Martin Margiela untitled which is like SO green and grassy with undertones of musk, omg, so good. Also v much into Comme des Garcons Sherbet: Rhubarb on fgti's recommendation and it really smells like rhubarb!

It's like tart and sweet and so intersting, I love it so. I've also got a small sample of Terre d'Hermes which on paper was interestingly bitter and hyper-woody like pine sap but on my skin just smells like a very pleasant but very approachable men's cologne. I'm about to order like 6 Comme des Garcons samples from luckyscent 2, Odeur 53, Odeur 71, Amazingreen, Guerrilla 1, Guerrilla 2 and am v excited to try them out.

I'm really into things that are not assertively masculine or feminine and are also really strange and unique, like "oh wow I would never imagine they would make a perfume smell like THAT but I quite like it. Commes des Garcons Wonderwood is really nice - been wearing that for a while.

In the recent past I've also worn Clinique's Happy and Chanel for men. I also have a few of those Demeter "fragrance library" things - the "dirt" one is quite good, kinda smells like a forest floor, but in a good way. I got some in Duane Read last time I was in NYC - some are more for use in rooms rather than on yourself, though it can be hard to decide about this. A lot of them are quite generic smells that get used in theatre, by Punchdrunk or other interactive companies - kinda depends how much you want to smell like "rain" or "bubblegum".

I bought one called "funeral home" to try and see if I would actually wear it, it sort of smells like cold sad memories of death - lily and chemicals - prob more a curio than anything else. Very interested in Commes des Garcons' interest in non-standard fragrances. Wondering what Odeur 53 smells like. I stopped wearing fragrance when I was pregnant because puuuuuuuuke, then I didn't start again when the baby was an infant because it majorly weirds me out when she smells like something other than herself, but I have been feeling like I want to smell like something again.

Of course right about the time I made that decision, we got a firm-wide email asking us to refrain from using "chemical scents" although it was very vague as far as whether that pertained to like air fresheners or personal care products or if it is the latter, putting them on at work versus putting them on at home.

I think it's more of a "be considerate" kind of thing. Maybe I'd like to branch out. I'm not sure what I'd like to smell like, though. I want people to associate a smell with me. Non poop smelling babies smell amazing. Baby head is the best smell. I wonder if the maternity ward will let me borrow a baby to sniff at lunchtime.

No, I'm not suggesting that. I think that was in reference to you mentioning that it weirds you out when she smells not like herself. And in summer I love this. My favorite summer scent by Lush is no more. This is bad. Which Lush. I used their orange flower water Guerrilla Scent for awhile, but although it smelled great in the little sampler vial I got, it never smelled the same coming out of the spray bottle, and now it's years old and I should really throw it away.

I think this summer I just want to smell like the beach. Frederic Malle "Vetiver Extraordinaire" is my current fave eau de parfum. I always stock up when I visit France. It's way overpriced here in the States. It's so green and delightful and I lost the tester I had years ago and I cannot stop smelling my wrists. It's so pleasant and delightful and not v assertive and I think I might make this my signature daily frag!

It's a dabber and not a sprayer so I am legit considering investing in one of these:. Also they come in these teeeeensy tiny little vials with a toothpick-like dabber built into each cap, so I'm not really sure how to properly apply them bcz dabbing them with the dabber puts SO little on. I smell like a humorless doctor or a funeral director, like someone stern and smug who maybe makes a lot of money and dresses conservatively.

It is has no joy; it is not fun in the least. I was expecting it to be kind of cool or modern but it's not really any of those things. What does it smell like to you note-wise. What does it evoke for you. I just ordered a bunch of tiny samples. I've worn the same fragrance for years and this thread got me thinking it's time to have a bit more fun with smells.

Odeur jfc what is this. Does not feel particularly "avant-garde" or interesting or anything, it just smells like a not-unpleasant lady's perfume but not something I would ever choose to wear. Who are these ppl that use all of these weird words nail polish. Maybe this is "avant-garde" to ppl who are immersed in this world but to someone who does not wear frags it smells v reg and not at all the "Oh huh, isn't THAT interesting!

The concept I formed in my head of these smells from reading about them smells absolutely nothing like the smell itself smells to me; language seems completely ineffective in representing these things. Maybe that's what makes it cool. You can look at a photograph of a sculpture, you can read a synopsis of a film and a breakdown of its cinematic techniques, but what of smells?

The Emperor of Scent tells of the scientific maverick Luca Turin, a connoisseur and something of an aesthete who wrote a bestselling perfume guide and bandied about an outrageous new theory on the human sense of smell. Drawing on cutting-edge work in biology, chemistry, and physics, Turin used his obsession with perfume and his eerie gift for smell to turn the cloistered worlds of the smell business and science upside down, leading to a solution to the last great mystery of the senses: how the nose works.

I have no real way to describe how my cat smells, but I would perhaps have a stuffed animal at work that I would spray with his fragrance if I could buy such a thing. Just out of curiosity why are you, mh and Stevie D, sticking to this one brand. I am v perfume-dumb but I am such a massive fan of CdG's aesthetic and just playful things that make you go hmmm in general and the frags are so fascinating to read about that I guess I'm kinda jumping off w them.

Their collaborations are kind of cool, although the Pharrell Williams one was ehhh. Kind of wondering what their Monocle magazine ones smell like, except, lol Monocle. It's so strange and interesting. This is by and far the most intriguing one I have smelled so far. All the other ones I have smelled smell like bad or weird perfume, whereas this just smells like not perfume at all.

If you want stuff that's unlike perfume, definitely try those Demeter scents I mentioned upthread. There are about a hundred of them and they're all based on generic scents, like grass, bubblegum, laundromat etc. It should be done May 20, he said. Can't wait can't wait. I will need to immediately find La Lechera so she can smell me.

Big companies have helped deflate the scents industry by piling on with their own special smells. After reading that Burr book LL mentioned upthread this seems incorrect -- there are two tiers to the perfume industry, the creation of "pure" scents and the people combining those ingredients as perfumers.

While some perfumers work creating products to be spritzed on the body, that ignores all of the scents used in everything from dish soap to dryer sheets to air fresheners. I wonder if the industry is actually booming, it's just that stuff spritzed on human beings is in flux. The decline in "drug store" scents could easily be because drug stores have started stocking celebrity fragrances.

The slow prevalence of chain stores like Victoria's Secret marketing scented lotions replacing entry-level perfumes with other scented products has to be part of it. Same with scented shower gel soaps. I was a fan of their Warm Vanilla Sugar smell, and I liked some lime coconut offering of theirs as well.

In the mids or so, my roommate took me to some mall store in the Delaware Valley area where you could mix your own fragrances. I remember there were glass containers of fragrance with glass swizzle sticks in them that you could pull out and smell. The Art and Olfaction awards. The award winner that created a smell narrative of celebrity deaths is only a part of the article.

Got CdG Amazingreen for xmas, reviews of it are so middling but I am telling you it smells so fucking incredible, a bit masculine but definitely not assertively so, very foresty and green with hints of like gunpowder and spice, it is like everything I have ever wanted in a fragrance.

I might like it even more than Margiela's "untitled". Cannot recommend enough. I mean I know you are v into CdG Black and also wearing black clothes and Amazingreen is much softer so idk. It's great but its longevity is poor and it stays very close. It is a really beautiful scent for 30 minutes though.

One of my favourites but doesn't have staying power. I just bought four Demeter frags for super cheap. Good rainy day scent. I think I've tried that before and I liked it a lot; it was the first thing I thought of when I smelled Dirt well, the second after "omg this smells like dirt". Yes - it's one of their accords, a building block for other scents. I also have the North Atlantic accord, a really fresh but delicate scent I tend to use in warm weather.

Soaked Earth has a bit more of an organic quality than Dirt, and I suspect it may play a role in some of their earthier scents like Wild Hunt and Invisible Monster. The formulas using them as a base scent actually smell like perfume, and the molecule odor is actually more discernible than it is on its own!

It came out in and I remember sniffing it at the time thinking it was the loveliest scent out there. Powdery and subtle, as I remember it. Apparently it flopped in the US and hasn't been sold here in years but still is in Europe. Maybe price was an issue - it cost about twice as much as a Guerlain, iirc. It's the favorite scent of its creator, Jacques Polge, who has created quite a number of fragrances going back to I recently scored some online just to see if it smelled as great as my memory… and was kind of surprised by the strength and intrusiveness of it.

Maybe best in small applications. Still stands out quite a bit from what you would normally smell nowadays. Do you dabble in any "women's" scents. I wore Coco yesterday and it seemed pretty retro but in a different way then, like, Giorgio retro. I tend to choose a scent to be fair I only have 5, not much to pick from based on what I'm wearing. Today is jeans, t-shirt, cropped cowboy boots and I'm going to a gun range.

Definitely not a Coco day. Maybe eau de Cartier but I tend to only do that in warm weather and it's quite chilly today. Perhaps I'll give the Guerlain Vetiver one last try before I admit that I like to smell it in the bottle but don't particularly like wearing it. I started with a sample vial of it over 20 years ago that I got on a trip somewhere and then couldn't find it again for a decade or more, and then my parents went to Paris and my mom got me a huge bottle that I've barely made a dent in and it's probably gone off now.

Truly my fave since I was a teenager. Yes I suppose it is. I think it's just called Roma, not "Roma for Women" or something. Now I wonder what Roma for Men smells like. Probably better, because I like woodsy and spicy and citrusy smells. He said there's a chemical they use that smells exactly like potting soil but it's proprietary.

Now I'm curious. Honestly for those of you who wear scent, how many hours of the day does it last you. When I'm out of the house for 12 hours I feel like any scent I use is only going to be there for half the day--the other half I'm going to smell like my lunch plus sweat from running up and down the stairs at school. I don't own more than one bottle of cologne at a time, so I usually go for broke I wear Creed "Virgin Island Water" it is the second-best smell Frederic Malle "Bigerade Concentree" remains the best smell, if I date a man I will buy it for them Creed "Millisme" was circulated for a time but it faintly smells like urine Creed "Vetiver" is nice enough but boring over time Le Labo "Bergamot" was worn for a while but then all my NYC gay friends poached it and now it's in bathrooms at the Ace I bought Creed "Aventus" for my manager and she loves it.

Very plausible. Still love more of their stuff Aventus, Silver Mt. Went down the wormhole of a Fragrantica thread on Creed claims, and my main takeaway was JPG fleur du male came in and omg this is so good -- smells like a white florals explosion for the first hour then fades into a delicious dirt and fresh green hay note that lasts literally until you shower, and even then there's still a hint of it.

Samsara and Shalimar are my faves for the lack of flowery smells but I cant wear them because they've been my mom's signature perfumes as long as I can remember so Dry Idea it is. I can donate the vetiver to your nascent collection, wondered if your are stateside. Need your addy but my ilx web mail goes into the void so uh we'll figure something out.

I wish he liked sandalwood but he hates it. Apparently I have been trying to re-home my bottle of Vetiver for a while. This is a good sign that it is time. All yours, clouds--I'll e-mail ya shortly. I loled at the tim mcgraw quip and on second thought did a google and now I'm horrified to known that tim mcgraw cologne actually exists.

I follow this thread obsessively, cannot begin to match slugbuggy posts so I just sit back and enjoy. Last weekend I was in airport duty free and put on some Chanel 19, which was my sole scent from age 18 to Now I am 43 and just don't like it, can't really understand the chick who did.

I also put on some Diorissimo which I found too fruity peach. Need to try some La Panthere. Old ladyish is more interesting to me these days than Chanel Chance and all the other young gal stuff. I like the smell, it's relatively cheap and it doesn't feel like I'm flirting with my colleagues.

They last well and seem kinda "grown up". I picked up a botle of Guerlain Vetiver at the duty free this week. Doesn't last long on my skin but does the trick. I paid too much for it, though, dammit, which I realized once I went online post-purchase to check its "regular" price in order to gloat. Oh god it only took like six months amirite. The box would still be sitting by the door had spouse not finally said "do you want me to mail this?

What so you think of it. I went to Bloom Perfumery in Covent Garden today, which I highly recommended if you are in the area and after something different. The collection has a strong and somewhat Problematic theme of swashbuckling derring-do in British history, albeit probably somewhat tongue in cheek, so there are lots of references to gunpowder, blood, the sea and the fruits of empire.

The one I got has huge amounts of tea and cold smoke. I also picked up a sample of Tonnerre which has a really aggressive smoke and lime combination and may not be entirely wearable. I liked some of the Imaginary Authors line too - particularly Memoirs of a Tresspasser with a clever mix of apple, vanilla and subtle smoke.

The shop does a mail order sample pack service which I have already signed up to. Really nice, well-informed staff with no hard sell. I have noticed the dries down to a much more approachable animalic leather so may be worth further investigation. They also stock the dirt-cheap Russian drug-store brand Brocard for some mysterious reason. I have great handfuls of samples from Bloom now and have been wearing a different one each day.

It has a fairly strong bonfire smell to me - warm and rounded rather than particularly acrid. I did briefly think it developed into a much more strident, complex smouldering accord later on but it turned out that someone had set fire to the bin outside of Argos in Chatham shortly before I walked past.

I often like the boozy, fecund smell of slowly decaying fruit irl I have fond memories of intoxicating orchards groaning under the weight of enormous mystery fruit on the outskirts of Guilin but idk if I want to carry it around with me all day. Frankincense and myrrh make it festive. Civet synthetic reminds you that most of the story takes place in a barn. I asked for Coco for Christmas and now I feel so amateurish and uninteresting compared to this thread.

But tbrr someone sprayed me with it a couple of weeks ago and I felt very expensive and it lasted like 12 hours with different notes and I was intrigued. I got so into perfume a few years back, but now I just wear Mitsouko on fancy occasions and Mandragore in summer when I feel like smelling something pleasant all day. Certain scents immediately bring experiences to mind, and remembering events sometimes have a specific smell memory associated.

And I could more vividly remember events that had happened there. Bvlgari Black is one of my all-time favourites, at least in the formulation I have from about ten years ago. I'd say this is true in a sense that goes way beyond fragrances and stretches out to the enjoyment of music and art sometimes too, to varying degrees. No 5 has never worked on me - too soapy - but Chance is an all time favourite.

Particularly like Avignon and Jaisalmer. I think liking what you like is really the only thing that matters and perfume is fun but so off putting once you go online and see people talking authoritatively about formulations and heart notes. I find it more masculine than a lot of actual masculine fragrances. Replica's "Soul of the Forest" has dried really well on me..

It's making me question my initial reactions to the other scents I sampled Friday, much of them seemed too cool and sharp for my rudimentary taste. Most of them reflect different aspects of British marine exploration and their gourmand fragrance, Lignum Vitae, is a perversely literal interpretation of this idea. What would sailors eat. Biscuits and citrus fruits.

What does the fragrance smell of. Whether you really want to walk around all day giving off an air of McVitie's Digestives is down to personal taste but it's cleverly done. Fathom V is Like an funeral barge slowly sinking into the Thames. On skin it transitions from an extravagant floral to a murky, spicy marine without ever losing what seems to me a slightly maudlin lily note.

It's artful and beautiful, in a Fallen London kind of way. Uncompromising but very good. The overall experience is extremely close to ELDO's Ensens et Bubblegum, sans the 'ensens', despite sharing few if any of the ingredients. It's pleasant but not very exciting.

And the answer is none. Galbanum, apple, cedar and, i think, ylang-ylang combine like a mountain-top forest lit up in neon. Has anyone sampled Eau Duelle by Diptyque. Considering getting her some as a gift. Goes on like cotton candy, dries down like cotton candy, poor longevity and sillage, like cotton candy.

Just candy. Oh hell no. Having showered, scrubbed and, damn it, exfoliated my neck i can still smell it 36 hours later and assume that i will have to carry it with me for the rest of my life as a memento mori. I hace a bottle of bal d'afrique; my partner has oud immortel. I love both. I've smelled most of their range and these are my two favourites.

Currently wearing Bat by Zoologist. The whole range is influenced by animals but that is often in a semi-abstract way - Rhinoceros, for example, smells more like bay rum than anything. Bat smells like bat, or rather bat caves. I have been wearing my own concoction. I put allspice and clove in a bottle with rubbing alcohol for a week and now I smell like a fresh, cocky sailer. I was just fine with Drakkar Noir, despite its reputation as the scent of latent nazis.

When a small bottle of that ran out after 2 years, I went on www. I use them in moderation one spray , they're all fine, but I haven't been complemented on them either. Still much prefer the scent that lingers after sitting downwind of some middling Indonesian aloeswood oud incense. I've recently rediscovered Cool Water, which has a lot of the same negative eighties connotations, and it's pretty great imo.

Which of the review sites do you all like best. Luckyscent, fragrantica, basenotes. Like, if you had to choose one, which one. Basenotes probably has the highest percentage of dorks who post about fragrance as though they're on the Steve Hoffman forums but that can be kind of useful sometimes. People ranking which elements predominate people say iris is prominent, say they can smell tuberose strongly, etc is much more useful than knowing that the fragrance contains 23 notes, including iris and tuberose - which you could find out from the marketing materials.

Someone gave me Burberry Brit for a late Christmas present. It has a long-lasting fake vanilla note that makes me feel nauseated. It's so hard to find scents that aren't cloying or make you want to die if you are trapped with a heavily scented person in a small space. Ha, so weird. I haven't worn any fragrances in years. I'd love to get back into it at some point, but probably can't justify the expense at the moment.

BUT the other day my wife ordered a scented candle from Amazon. Buying scented candles over the internet can be hit or miss even if you're buying from a reputable place with other scents you know and like, but just randomly shopping candles on Amazon was a particularly, um, adventurous move on her part. I opened it up to take a whiff and I'm almost entirely certain that the scent of this candle is Contradiction for Men by Calvin Klein!

It was my first scent, and I wore entirely too much of it for at least a year. I mentioned it to her and she was like "yeah, it's too perfumey I might try to hunt down a sample to confirm that it is indeed Contradiction, but I lived with that scent for a while so I'm pretty sure. My impression from my brief experience with the candle is that it's very overwhelming - like, way too much trying to go on and very sharp.

Maybe it wears differently, idk. Probably not. I'm going to the Emirates next week. Does anyone have recommendations for Arabian fragrances or Arabian editions of international ones. LAVS is nice but not an absolute knockout. I think I prefer Opus , which is a big, gothic amber by the same house. I realise when you write that I have no idea what normcore fragrances would smell like.

Paperback to follow shortly. I got a sample of Guerlain's Jicky, the oldest perfume still in production , and every time I raise my wrist to my face a new and even more horrible thing happens. It had never occurred to me how cats would respond to vintage civet fragrances until reading that thread.

People rave about Twilly - which I should probably try again. I got a bottle of Idole by Lubin a while back. It smells like an upscale bar cocktail based on Kola Kubes. I have been wearing Saint Julep by Imaginary Authors, which is a fairly literal sugary mint julep - thin but pleasant.

It has cinnamon, incense and sage and smells like it could be used to cleanse cursed houses of their demons. Zoologist has a new one out next week by the guy who runs Bogue Profumo, called T-Rex, which the perfume place I go let me try at the start of the month. First impressions were positive. Lots of champaca. I know I only ever appear on this thread to say "Miller Harris" but I treated myself to some of her Vetiver Insolent this week and it's a joy.

My "go to", work day "regime" is Musgo Real Cologne - no. I got a decant of this and have been wearing it today. There is a heavy resinous frankincense bolted on to leather, rose, civet, geranium, black pepper, patchouli and that big champaca note. The longer it goes on and it seemingly goes on forever the smokier it gets but it never loses that spicy floral element or the slight suggestion of the stable.

My favourite incense fragrances, like Zagorsk and Avignon, tend to be a little austere and churchy, Tyrannosaurus Rex is the absolute opposite. Gardoni is pretty interesting - he is an architect who seems to have started making fragrances as a hobby. Not as nice as Orange Amber. One to wear for work rather than a special occasion.

I kind of think of the former as what I'd wear for work and the latter as more of a treat. The Miller Harris feels more expensive and lasts longer though there's a bit of a cross-over in price Musgo Real can be bizarrely expensive, I only ever buy Miler Harris in the sale. Barbershoppy is a good description of Musgo Real - you can kind of imagine it being worn by people modelling Portuguese Work Wear.

But that bottle came with a sample of Yin by The Harmonist which my wife loved, and I can stand as well. But I suppose that would last forever. I always get super excited when I see that this thread has new answers, and a slugbuggy post never disappoints. I will now have three strange days in my head for at least three days. I just discovered the Ormonde Jayne line, which I think is really outstanding.

Fortunately in NYC we have shops like Aedes or Osswald where you can go and sample different chi chi fragrances if you want. Ormonde Jayne is from London, and they have a collection called Four Corners of the Earth inspired by the world travels of their founder, each fragrance specifically inspired by the indigenous flora she's encountered so says their ad copy.

You could imagine this on either an Argentine polo player or a sophisticated lady of means. Ormonde Jayne also has a standard men's fragrance that - sorry if I lack the language - is a lovely powdery, slightly spicy, with flinty note blend that I suppose is reminiscent of Rocabar, of ones I'm familiar with. One thing I've learned from visiting these fragrance shops is that there are far more scents I don't like than ones I do, even among the expensive ones.

Certain notes are automatic turn-offs like the bubble gum note many fragrances have, not sure what it is technically and other notes ruin the fragrance if they're slightly too present. And then there's the complication of one's own body chemistry which may not take to a certain scent. That's why I tend to remember the few fragrances that pass all the tests.

Another one I thought I liked enough when trying it out in the store, but after taking home a sample and wearing it decided it was ever-so-slightly too sweet for me, was Amber Room by Thameen. I do appreciate its relative elegance though. Being on a budget, I got a subscription to Scentbird.

I think it's a good value, but the selection is patchy. Still I've got enough 15 ml bottles of expensive fragrances that I enjoy. But I can try it for sixteen bucks a month. Just as well, because it smells like an older woman at church. But thanks to Scentbird I have a massive collection of expensive scents.

Molinard Figue was my favorite so far. I got Pinrose's Gilded Fox, which had been a favorite, but the caramel wears on me. I'm teaching myself perfuming, though, and am mostly enjoying my own concoctions more. Been doing this for a couple of years and have about a thousand dollars worth of essential oils, attars and aroma chems. But the stuff is coming along nice.

Wearing a cherry scent today that also has oud, pink lotus and jasmine. Incurable exhumes those remote memories of that young, sophisticated uncle who was a professional illustrator and who smoked an English pipe and owned russet leather armchairs and a collection of antique mechanical coin banks.

The one who knew how to properly wear a sport coat and who wielded a generous sense of erudite humor. Incurable is warm and piquant, dreamy and urbane… like the ghost of someone you wanted to know but never got the chance to. I mean, if you want to sell, you should broaden your market. Like I don't identify with the rich uncle at all!

A woman's perfume should respect all women, and sometimes the "mysterious magical witchy woman" crap is just plain sexist. I am working on a fragrance inspired by Italian women in my family - the smell of the purses, like powdery makeup, rose, tobacco and candy. I didn't think it would work I had the concept first , but I wear it all of the time, it really smells like my memories!

It's kind of a dud. It's unisex, and although it claims to have other ingredients, like cypriol, which I LUV, it just seems to be all overpowering Australian sandalwood, which given its gluey, synthetic aspect, I don't think is real. Or maybe it's a mixture of authentic Australian sandalwood and aromachemical.

In any case, it's not very subtle. I'll keep looking for a decent sandalwood scent, but given the unsustainability of the stuff, I'm not hopeful. I used to buy sandalwood oil in college, when real mysore was more affordable. I guess I have to leave those days behind me, because the Australian variant isn't getting it done. Oh by the way, I got some amyris, which is supposed to be "west Indian sandalwood" and I like it a lot, although it smells nothing like sandalwood.

I M Losted , Saturday, 4 May five years ago link. Some people are buying big bottles of expensive or rare perfumes and bottling them in smaller bottles. It has galbanum, and I usually can't afford it, because you usually have to get it from France and pay a jillion dollars for it because nobody in the US carries it anymore.

I got into perfume because I always wanted to make my own version of Chanel no. So if you're looking for that expensive shit, try Ebay. Yeah, it's a classic and a long time ago, it was my signature. I like the slightly masculine or astringent aspect, but it is just so well-done and original. The new formulation is nice, but not as good and the personality isn't as strong.

I loved the old one. It was greener and maybe more masculine and assertive. I guess you can get no. So, this bottle made me want to buy a few vintage bottles of the stuff that are on Ebay, and they're not really expensive, but prohibitive enough on my budget that I'm not sure if I should spring for it.

If I had my druthers, I'd have a whole cabinet full of the original stuff. This is why I tried to concoct my own version - which was nice but nothing like the original. I mean, every description of the formula has something different in it. Apparently it has rose and leather in it, whereas I smell greens, vetiver and iris. I just love galbanum, which is a weird thing to put in a "classic" major house fragrance.

I'm just wondering if anyone has sprung for vintage bottles of classic fragrances, and if they hold up well, or if they morph over time. The few vintage bottles I have of stuff are not that great. The bottles I want to buy are from the seventies and the eighties.

And Chanel - as weak as the reformulations are, Chanel is still my go-to as far as designer fragrances. Some of those other fashion houses just produce overrated shit. The Chanels never disappoint, at least, and are worth the money you pay for them. Btw you're right about the reformulated Eau Sauvage edp, it comes in a white box, but curiously I see the formulation in the black box more often in stores.

Miller Harris are presenting an online discussion about some of their fragrances - they're flagging them in advance so you can order samples of the fragrances that are being talked about 3 for a tenner, I think. It's one of those things that I ought to do because I don't really have the language to talk about fragrance in a meaningful way but aren't likely to remember to do.

Recently scored some vintage Rive Gauche in the blue atomizer and really love it, it's transporting. Chypre-Mousse is like the bottom of a pile of damp leaves. I hated it so much at first, it seemed really harsh, but it has grown on me. My star fragrance of the summer is Roma by Laura Biagiotti. It's sort of a spiced citrus creamsicle that seems to come alive and evolve interestingly in hot weather.

What led me to this was I scored a bottle of vintage Minotaure by Paloma Picasso which is lovely and unusual and as it turns out often likened to Roma. Flick , Friday, 25 September three years ago link. At one time I had bottles of both the older Minotaure and the newer one and I compared them. They're identical on initial spray but within minutes they go two separate ways, with the newer one starting a quick fade to nothingness while the older one starts to evolve, becoming less brash and dandified and more dark and ambiguous, perhaps even "older" - in Bowie terms it's like going from Ziggy Stardust to Low.

Have we talked about Rocabar before. I really like it, the way it starts sort of flinty and when that note fades a more sensual balanced accord blossoms and lingers. I bought some Xeryus Rouge by Givenchy blind because it's supposedly located in a zone of the fragrance chart where other things I like come from. But nah, this isn't for me.

Went to Sephora and sampled some Jo Malone products. One of them smells just like the beach - too much so for my taste - like dried out suntan lotion and sea grape and candy. There's one with oud in the name that's OK but I've learned that oud has a more outdoorsy nuance than what I'm comfortable with. Scentbird has a series now called "Scents of Wood" that I'm trying, and the Sandalwood in Oak is great - a pleasant surprise.

Very unisex, and it just smells like a fresh oak with sage - which is weird for a fragrance, but lately I'm into things that smell like raw nature. Only the slightest synthetic aspect to it. Truly smells like a log cabin. I am done with Sephora - have a habit of falling in love with something, only to have it become total dud after I've brought home a bottle.

Sticking to my subscription service for now. Anyone familiar with the Confessions of a Rebel brand. I have Get a Room coming up in my queue. Sounds great, like that means anything, but reviews are good. I think I like Aromatics now that the weather is cooler.

Rocabar and Bel Ami are much more interesting imo. I'm currently wearing Squid by Zoologist which is, as you might expect, an inky marine. It's a lot softer than many of their other fragrances and very pleasant but not one of my absolute favourites from them. A new haul of decants today and i'm wearing Zoologist's Bee, which is lovely.

It reminds me of the Russian and Ukrainian churches that make beeswax candles and sell honey - a warm, resinous, floral fug. I've ordered a sample of a fragrance inspired by Ilya Khrzhanovsky's magnificent film Chetyre 4 because, mystifyingly, it exists and i must know what it smells like. I'm wearing Ormonde Jayne's Ormonde Man today, which has a fancy list of ingredients, like black hemlock and agarwood, but really just smells like a fairly generic cologne - albeit the kind of subtle, reassuringly expensive cologne they mist into the executive lounges of upmarket Abu Dhabi hotels to gently mask the smell of the buffet cheese counter.

I like Ormonde Man but it is slightly mystifying why it's 2x as expensive as comparable products. But fwiw I once went to Aedes in Manhattan a shop dedicated to boutique fragrances and sampled about 50 different things before deciding that Ormonde Man and Ormonde Montabaco were about the most pleasing of the batch. It's probably not a great idea to sample that many at a time, I now realize.

The short answer is 'Chanel - Cuir de Russie' - leather, birch, clary sage and all. It's good but not likely to shift ELdO's Rien as my smoky leather of choice. US porn actress Lisa Sparxxx set a world record when she had sex with men in a single day during Eroticon — as part of the Third Annual World Gangbang Championship. Thai couple Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat set a new record in for the longest kiss — lasting 46 hours and 24 minutes.
