i think it's a great scent, and rather masculine as far as rose scents go. w/r/t grandma, rose+patchouli is a classic combo that's been around for ages, so no surprise it's reminiscent of old perfumes.

my problem with Noir de Noir is that it feels very dressy, almost formal, when on a guy, so it's not something that would get worn very often

If anyone at a multiple brand department store fragrance counter tries to recommend you something, they are doing so to earn a commission on that product.

There are very few legit reformulations (YSL notably) around that you can actually notice. Most of them are based on some now-forbidden note or simply revisioned for modern time (Esenzia).
95% of reformulation crying is just people relying on memory (hint: human memory is shit and memories change every time you recall them, that's why eye wittnesses beyond short-term memory are wrong most of the time on things as simple as color of the shirt). Never trust your memory when judging a perfume, get an actual, verifiable bottle/decant of the scent and do a blind test - tell your friend or w/e to label samples, try them and see how shitty your smell is in reality.

They're not close at all really. Original Vetiver is much more of a soapy green scent. It opens close to Mugler Cologne with citrus top notes, developing an herbal character that is more like fresh marijuana to my nose than vetiver as I've experienced it in any other fragrance. Though both are fresh EdPs, Gray Vetiver is a heavier, more serious scent compared to the Creed.

What should be the price for the Tobacco Vanille decant of 50ml 2011 batch?

>> No.13723467

Thinking of trying some Tom Ford samples, will cop 3ml of each with my tip money I get next weekend.
TF For Men, Grey Vetiver and Oud Wood seem like good starting points.
Anything else I should try?

Neroli Portfino/Neroli Portofino Forte are good summer scents but really you can get something very similar with better performance and a much better pricetag if you try Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza instead.

Sorry in advance, this is probably a FAQ, but how does Encre Noire A L'Extreme compare to the original? Wearing the original today on this cool grey day and really enjoying it. I'm a fan of cypress too so I don't think I can go wrong.

Idk if past 250 posts this post will catch much attention, but I'm really interested in reinvesting in some Pumpkin Pie cologne/fragrance.
Demeter makes a brand I once had in my freshman year in high school almost a decade ago, but the bottle came to me with the squirt nozzle broken, so I just rarely used it.

What are some Fall desserts and sweet or nostalgic smells that bitches love?

4160 Tuesdays has several interesting “dessert” scents. I own and love Centrepiece, though admittedly it does lean somewhat feminine.

Serge Lutens has a few nice dessert-ish gourmands. Un Bois Vanille is quite nice.
