    any suggestions where i can find a scent which is similar to Helmut Langs one? which i really miss..thanks
    Good question...Id like to find a decent replacement myself. The only things I can think of offhand are S-Perfume (by s-perfume) and maybe Lantimatiere by les nez. Both are quiet musks.

        We are, yes. The brown bottle was a leather.

        Another option is Santa Maria Novella Muschio.

          I'm looking for something with metallic notes. I want to smell like a robot factory after a bunch of ninjas busted up the place, with plenty of molotovs, grenades, and gunfire exchanged during the fight. Since that's a tall order, I went ahead and looked for anything with metallic or "cold" notes and have samples of these on their way to me:

          Tommi Sooni - Sample:Eau de Tommi Sooni I
          BLOOD Concept - Sample:A
          BLOOD Concept - Sample:AB
          BLOOD Concept - Sample:O
          Andrea Maack Parfums - Sample:Craft
          Comme des Garcons Series: Guerrilla - Sample:Guerrilla 1
          Comme des Garcons x Artek - Sample:Standard
          Comme des Garcons x Undercover - Sample:Holygrace

          I'd also like to sample some of the CdG Synthetics series, but they seem to be pretty impossible to find.

            I'm pretty sure you'll like the CdG synthetic series "Garage" w/r/t to this scent. ;)

            Also try Chrome and Acier Aluminum

              Definitely Garage!

              You can get samples from the synthetic series here: http://www.ausliebezumduft.de/

                Notes of burning metal, screaming ninjas and crumbling robots.

                This needs to be the official description of a perfume.

                  Exactly. I'll make it happen someday.

                  darkbydesign - thanks for the recommendations! Chrome by Azzaro, yes?

                  Atom - thank you for the resource! I searched for and found the three they have, but I don't see any way to add it to a cart or anything. Do I contact them for the order? Also, it doesn't tell you how large the sample is, and at 45euro each, this could get pricey fast!

                    ^ they seriously overcharge for many things, but it's 45 euro for the bottle, not the sample! I think they charge 12 euro for 4 samples, plus shipping.

                    CDG's Synthetic Series is discontinued by the way, so they will be hard to come across soon.

                      Oh, that makes much more sense. Thanks! I've just found a site in the US that has samples of those same three, so I'm ordering them all right now. It's good to know I can get full bottles if I decide they're for me!

                        dane im surprised you aren't super into tea or coffee looking at yoru blog... you must have quite some nose!!!

                        anyways, if i were looking for something that smelled of a subdued or restrained carnality....

                        what would that be.
                        thanks in advance prof. dane

                          I am a fan of tea and coffee! But my tastes are simple...not far from my personal taste in perfume actually. Perfume as an art is a composition though, which takes talent. Tea and coffee (and wine) are only the one ingredient, so there isn't so much art as there is chance.

                          Anyway, for carnal perfumes, which can range anywhere from floral to musk to ambers, I would suggest (1) Muscs Koublai Khan by Serge Lutens (raunchy musk); (2) Cuir de Russie by Chanel (floral leather); and (3) Felanilla by Parfumerie Generale (vanilla amber).

                          To explain a bit more, leathers smell of skin and tar; indolic flowers (jasmine, ylang, tuberose) smell of feces, meat, and rubber; amber (not the stone) is composed of things like ambergris (whale puked-furball), rose, vanilla, patchouli, vetiver, and various resins (etc.) All of these things can evoke the smell of flesh, sweat, and sex.

                              It really is a strange beast. What you smell in the beginning is civet...which comes from the glands of the civet cat (synthetics are used now). The rest is a big blousy amber with a ton of musk and a stinky base called Animalis (self-explanatory).
