...The Passenger

...All AdP : " Intensa" , " Essenza" , " Assoluta:eb616747d7]Yeah, I do own the Intensa, which I like the most - the most masculine in this list imo.

...Sherapop:SystemeD:My favorite reaction may have been when a graduate student in my department left her office and ran out into the hallway I had just traveled, and called out, "Who smells so good?"I called out in return, "It is Guerlain Purple Fantasy that smells so good, and I am wearing it!"Oh good: a shout out for "Purple Fantasy"! I thought that I was the only person who liked it! :lol:Never ever heard of it. The name does not sound that promising...

...Today is "Oud Wood" day - great fragrance! One oud that I like!

...I'm back - have been quite busy this week. Today I wore "Shalimar Parfum Initial", yesterday "Five O'Clock Au Gingembre", before yesterday "Comme des Garçons 2", before "L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Eau Extrême", on tuesday "Chamade Homme" and "l'heure Bleue", on monday "Oud wood".

...Today a friend of mine told me that he loved the smell of acetone. Well, tastes are really diffent I guess. And he thinks I'm crazy because I like the smell of horses a lot.

...Last week I watched "offroad", a german road movie. I liked it a lot + the male protagonist is really hot!http://offroad-derfilm.de/

...Today I've been wearing "Taste of Heaven". Hm, although I really loved it a lot, today it somehow disturbs me. Very strong stuff, very sweet. On some days it is more herbal. Well, later I'll switch to something else..

...Big bottle? The top note is absolutely stunning. Don't like the drydown that much though. You must try Bigarade Concentrée! Gorgeous!

...Maybe you'd like to participate here ;)It's in German but I think it's easy. You say which perfume suits the person in the picture in the post above and why. Then you post another picture.http://www.parfumo.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6715

...Well I think this has the potential of becoming a "warmer", more fun place - as the German site also is. I suppose we just need to be a bit patient to get more members and more lively discussions. Feel free to open fun threads in the off topic section! That would be very welcome I think.

...Flaconneur:Mine is "Sables" by Annick Goutal. The Crème brûlée of fragrances.I don't get that Crème Brûlée vibe at all. To me it es a very weird, DRY fragrance. Amazing how different perceptions may be...

...Today it is still cold enough for wearing "Égoïste" by Chanel.

..."l'instant de Guerlain"

...Today "Le Vétiver" by Lubin.

...I'm not really specialized in actors....Some actors I likeRobert StadloberDaniel Brühl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9KEaVXjPMw&feature=relatedFranka PotenteSibel Kekilli http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muZm2HxuMXgXavier Dolan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF7PQbadX4U&feature=relatedjust to name a few...

...nh3, h2s, mercaptane, amines, lots of organic solvents (acetone...) etc.rotten fishrotten eggsexcrements, especially of carnivore(I think horse manure is not that bad, cow shit is worse and pig's is worst)

...I think the most authentic church scents out of the Comme de Garcons series are Avignon and Zagorsk.I also like Kyoto very much, which has a slight asian vibe. I've tried other incense scents, that didn't convince me that much.

...Today I went for lunch with a female friend of mine. And someone smelled slightly of a masculine scent (fresh aquatic, might have been Issey Miyake or something like that). I'm actually not sure if it was her. It felt strange, wouldn't have suited her. I was looking around to see if someone else (a guy) nearby wore this scent. Strange, isn't it?On the other hand she's not a "girlish" person, but a very energetic, self-confident woman. And I could imagine her pull off a nice vetiver like sycomore. I think it is all about associations. Scents that are marketed to men and are very well-known, somehow feel masculine although they don't necessarily smell very masculine. That's a reason I personally would avoid scents like cool water or Fahrenheit. But no problem with scents like Arsène Lupin Dandy, which is not less masculine, but far less known.

...PS: Tonight an experiment: Though not a fan of layering (as already mentioned) I layered a tiny droplet of Vetiver essential oil (diluted with neutral oil) with a tiny spritz of "Liaisons dangereuses" - the oil gets that absurd sillage a little bit under control - and the vetiver gives it a smoky edge and makes it a bit more natural smelling. I think rose + vetiver is a very interesting field for experiments or new perfumes. We find that combination in some classics like Rive Gauche or knowing, which however smell slightly dated (don't beat me). Today we have rose-pepper with some vetiver in Perles de Lalique and YSL Elle. But some more smoky vetiver instead of the peppery cashmeran would be cool.
