Club 5

Hajuvana I narrowed my wish list down to fragrances I absolutely want. My collection is a 50/50 mix of keepers and random stuff nobody has bought or swapped ...yet. If you see anything to your liking, there's a fair statistical chance it belongs to the latter group. Feel free to PM me. 3 years ago

This stuff gets frequently (and rightfully) compared to Rochas Man and New Haarlem by Bond No. 9, both of which are work of the great Maurice Roucel. What really amazes me, is the fact that Legend precedes both by several years (1997 vs. 1999...

Vetiver Extreme

Vetiver Extreme

If you're able to ignore Luca Turin's review...

...you've probably noticed that most others are positive (and rightfully so). Vetiver Extrême is essentially a herbal take on the vetiver root (as opposed to two main schools of the contemporary vetiver - the woodies...

Approximates my recollection of TDH Eau Très Fraîche, which I used to frequent. IMO you get what you pay for in the citrus department here.

L'Air de Panache

L'Air de Panache - The Grand Budapest Hotel - 1 year ago

I revisit this occasionally to check if my decant is still OK. A classic cologne with a twist of tart apple and some castoreum in the base.

Adrenaline - Iced Musk & Ginger

Adrenaline - Iced Musk & Ginger - Axe / Lynx - 2 years ago

Solid delivery of notes concerning what it is.
Spearmint, tomato stem, fig, cedar and musk. Wear it fearlessly and none'll guess. Unisex.

April Skies

April Skies - Atl. Oblique - 2 years ago

I can imagine someone longing for a perfume that smells of pure carnauba wax. In short: this is it - if by accident, none less marvelous.

This is, by a wide margin, the closest thing to the overall feel of actual mysorean sandalwood oil I've encountered in perfumery so far.

Lalique pour Homme Lion (Eau de Toilette)

Lalique pour Homme Lion (Eau de Toilette) - Lalique - 2 years ago

As much iris-patchouli as a lavender-cedar will ever be. I prefer the edt for its note clarity.

Undeniably ADG-ish, set apart by its celery-like vibe and slight fruitiness (in contrast to Mediterranean herbs). Good stuff for the money.

601 Vétiver Cèdre Bergamote

601 Vétiver Cèdre Bergamote - Bon Parfumeur - 3 years ago

Very similar to vastly superior Ellie Saab n:o #6. The formula runs out of tokens halfway on the drydown.

Nelke

Nelke - Parfum-Individual Harry Lehmann - 3 years ago

Not as much one’s personal fragrance as a botanical study on carnation, though it artistically leans on an oriental-tinged rose note.
