ok so I got a few samples, just saying what I think so don't kill me
in no particular order

1. escentric 05 - fresh and piney with some citrus. smells slightly synthetic in the drydown, like it

2. nio - fresh tart citrus. pretty straightforward and linear, like it

3. de profundis - straight forward floral. so realistic it doesn't smell like a perfume at all, if that makes sense. literally smells like putting your nose to a fresh, wet chrysanth. very nice and pretty

4. 1861 renaissance - fresh minty citrus. minty nio

5. odeur 71 - synthetic sickly sweet smell with some metallic notes. not that bad

6. uden - slightly sweet citrus. kind of veers into lemon multisurface cleaner for me, but it's not bad

7. bojnokopff - this is really terrible. you get a bit of chocolate gourmand in the opening, but that quickly fades into this weird stinky oud medicinal chemical odor. a shame because it has a nice bottle

8. naxos 1861 - sweet smooth honey tobacco. this really smells nice, couldn't stop sniffing my wrist. becomes more smoky in the drydown but maintains a good amount of sweetness. never cloying despite how sweet it is, very easy to like

9. fumerie turque - somewhat similar to naxos in terms of prominent notes but a lot less sweet. more tobacco

10. 20 Mars 2022 - looks how it smells, extremely dark. smells deeply smoky but has a touch of fruity sweetness like a strong, dark rum cake. also has a strong synthetic smell

11. copper - opening is metallic but quickly mellows out into some kind of floral earthy scent

12. ma nishtana - spiced incense. doesn't smell particularly smoky or complex to me, but it's ok

13. coup de foudre edp - very beautiful sweet orange citrus floral. extremely realistic floral like de profundis but so complex and well blended it's difficult to pick out individual notes. extremely small amount of inoffensive sweet oud in the background for depth. becomes more woody and less floral in the drydown but stays somewhat sweet. so good
