...I'm in a 'fundamental' chypré mood at the moment... I would want to push my current obsession Sous le Vent more into a dark dry hard-core chypré direction (base) without losing the brightness and fun of the top and heart - more oakmoss, a slightly more animalic touch plus labdanum partly replacing the patchouli and increasing the overall level I suppose.

...oh wow, great but overwhelming question for a film fanatic such as I am... but I try. :lol: (no specific order)Little MurdersLove and DeathDeath at a FuneralVertigo (I'm a big Hitchcock fan)Sabotage (I hugely enjoy the humor in Hitchcock's British films)Face behind the Mask (representative for quite some Peter Lorre films)Persona (or Hour of the Wolf)So many film noirs such as The Strange Love of Martha IversThe Anniversary (LOVE Bette Davis)Harold and MaudeNot bad for starters, but I bet I forgot some 'can't live without-s'!

...I went through what was three bottles (I think) of Pasha de Cartier when I was 12-16. :lol:

...Mouchoir de Monsieur, the better Jicky today! :wink:

...I think I have to agree with Chanel Cuir de Russie Parfum. I think you can only feel underdressed wearing this. :wink:

...I have an antique sort of standing desk with a wooden lid to close everything. It's a chaotic system. I often rearrange things on a 'I need new space' basis. I like opening the wooden lid and see all my 'lovelies' crowded in front of me. :) I have boxes in the basement for back-ups and so forth.

...Larimar:Hi there :wink:well hellooo there...

...Gourmands are often tricky territory for myself, but I agree with a dark, smoky vanilla.

...Hi there :wink:

...Let's not forget Tabac Blond! Its chypré character is still clearly identifiable, although this is not its main thrill for me.

...I have a bunch of samples somewhere. I find her style 'unremarkable' or 'forgettable' to put it less politely.

...Most of all, I'd say Histoires de Parfums' 1725 Casanova, which has a bit the Le Male for grown-ups feel for me. :D Although there is nothing wrong in principle with Le Male... 'cleverly used' that is.

...I have always felt that Mouchoir de Monsieur would fit Dorian Gray. It's a very traditional Eau-style fragrance, but beguiling and very sexy up close in the base.
