Tomboy Neroli is a paradox: sexy and clean. It smells like a freshly-laundered cotton t-shirt stripped off a hot, young body that has been wearing a classic eau de cologne all day. Male or female? Doesn’t matter. When it’s this good, it’s for everyone.

It's 6 for the 1.5ml. Just try it. The sample sizes can really last a bit if you spray conservatively. 1 spray on your neck or inner arm can last you through the day depending on your level of activity. The nice thing about trying stuff out is we all have different chemistry so things smell different on everyone. Musc 25 is my go to along with The Noir, but my favorite is Rose 31; which occasionally makes me smell like a taco because of the cumin density.
Also any Le Labo will let you use their testers.

True story: I bought a bottle of Sycomore EdT in NYC a few years back. Then I went to NYC a year later and somehow lost the bottle. Chanel discontinued it and switched over to EdP, so the bottle is gone for good. There’s a EdT on eBay for $700 and I’m considering it.

I wore it year round. It was what I wanted to smell like 24/7, but I used it sparingly. It was never boring.

To finally answer OPs question.
Tam Dao is my favorite. Its such such an exquisite and simple combo of cedar and sandlewood. It doesnt come off as a "cologne," it just blends nicely with your natural musk and presents itself from time to time all day long.
Growing up in the mountains, studying architecture, and often working with wood - it just fits me and comforts me.

I get the impression that Gaiac 10 would be similar in its woodly minimalism, which is why I want to try it so badly.

Thé Noir or Rose are great, they're both really light but have a surprising duskyness without being too floral or bright. Tonka is new ( so i'm unsure if you can get it) but is fantastic; it has notes of orange and cedar playing through a characteristic muskyness that reminds me of summer nights in Quebec. Vetiver is another favorite, peppery and grassy with hints of gaiac but maybe too sweet for my liking, but perhaps perfect for you.
Oud isnt for everyone but has a great feel to it that screams nature and the Moroccan bazaar, or gasoline; it's really a body chemistry thing there.
Ylang is really light and fresh a lot of buoyancy from the florals throughout the whole thing.
I could go on, but a big thing like I had mentioned before is body chemsitry plays a big part in how these scents, how all perfumes sit on peoples skin throughout the day so keep that in mind. Some scents that may scream intensity at first end up becoming soft and delicate an hour later i.e Musc 24

Santa Maria Novella Patchouli.
It's a perfect representation of my favorite note. Performance is obscenely good; two sprays under clothes last all day and carry for 10-15 feet. Super impressive for an Eau de Cologne. I can wear it for 6 months out of the year, from September through March. Garners compliments and inquiries from women and men, young and old. Timeless classic scent.

Yes, the primary ingredient is agarwood. We label our scents and oils based on the ingredients, the numbers are indicators on the amount of ingredients per bottle, not just some clever nomenclature. So for example, the primary base of Oud 27 is the agarwood, but things like black pepper find their way into the synth as well as a myriad of other things that help layer on our base notes

I've tried quite a few of them and Eau Noire being a favorite, and >>14042510 all fragrances are created with a story in mind. The Eau Noire is sweet with lavender and licorice and well balanced with some sort of cedar which to me, is dusky and cool like a night out in the city; which would perfectly reflect Hedi's aesthetic, especially through his photography. I'm not brand loyal and I have a cooler filled with stuff but it doesnt hurt that I have a perfume organ I work at and can get all of my Le Labo stuff for free

First couple times when I smelled it directly I didn't like it but I remember a friend of mine spraying it and it was a bit windy outside and the wind carried the scent over to me and it smelled completely different and much better. Also many people told me that I smelled good when i wore it. So even if you don't like the scent directly it smells really good for people in your vicinity. However longevity is kinda weak it will only last a couple hours.

Well actually, the Davidoff composition has green apple, mint, lavender, rosemary, and a full page of other aromatics while GIT's composition is rather bare and simple in comparison, relying on only citrus, lemon verbena, iris and violet for the main accords.. Pierre Bourdon essentially made the more complex and satisfying fragrance for the masses (he made GIT too) in order to troll Creed and it still works to this day

Hermès (Un Jardin sur le Nil). A lovely fragrance for summer—with a spritzy start of lemon and apricot, then evolving into a musky base with hints of cinnamon. This is what the Middle Eastern spice markets smelt like in the days of Casablanca. Waves of cinnamon; arches upon soaring arches of incense and orange.

nice, I believe they discontinued mkk in the regular bottles recently tho, still can find them in the bell jars from some places but yeah ive heard it's been reformulated. I like a lot of the lutens stuff, guerlain and dior too. ambre sultan is probably my favourite, the resinous labdanum with herbal notes to balance is so perfect to me. chergui, dhi, portrait of a lady and mitsouko pretty close behind. in terms of clothes I like wearing ccp and slp when I can, but desu a lot of uniqlo day to day cause of formality requirements and fear of staining lol(am a medfag).

[Anonymous No.14053690]

I’ve never not got a compliment while wearing this and I’m not even exaggerating. I waited for a long time to buy it because I thought it would just smell like your clothes do after standing by a fire, and it obviously has that vibe slightly, but it’s the most pleasant form of that you can imagine. I’ve had strangers on the subway in NYC compliment this four separate times and that’s not an enviorenment where people ever talk to strangers. It’s the kind of reception I imagined Aventus would get based on all the hype but didn’t. It’s just a really unique scentthat people always seem to be caught off guard by. Buy it you horrible fucking faggots.

It's heady, narcotic and syrupy without ever being cloying or offensive. I get a clear mental picture of a pretty Grecian garden full of daffodil and fruit and wine.
It's also a one-sprayer that lasts all day, and stays more-or-less the same throughout seasons and settings.

Also unashamedly enjoy that most women my age don't wear 90s powerhouse florientals, so it definitely stands out.
