All 3 are fairly different, but alternate to Querelle could be Une Fleur de Cassie (Malle); VE - Sycomore (Chanel); Man2 - Le Labo's Patchouli (which doesn't smell like patchouli).

Thanks Dane.
I tried the FM recommendation but didn't like it, and found it entirely different from the Querelle.
The Sycamore on the other hand... Strikingly similar to VE. I'll be interested to see what the differences will be on the dry down. It seems to last longer on the skin or me also.

Any other new recommendations out there? I'm getting stagnant in my current collection....

CDG Blue thoughts: As a group they feel like fragrances for people who don't like fragrance and veer masculine.
Cedrat: Bitter citrus with a metallic, vegetal edge, kinda turnipy or rooty and then dries down to a pencil shavings cedar note. I could see someone who doesn't really care for fragrance liking this as a non-scent--still kinda strong somehow, though. Like a mean version of D&G Light Blue (irony?).
Encens: Dry incense, but nothing to compete with Kyoto or others in the incense series, OK, but nothing special to me. GOes from cool to warm in the drydown, but nothing "oriental" about it. Some pepper in the drydown. At least wearable.
Santal: Sandalwood (maybe?) competing with a fresh oceanic/ozonic accord. Smells like 90s "fresh" men's colognes. Pine? I hate pine. Very dated. Nothing headache inducing, but still probably the worst of them and unworthy of CDG.Originally posted by DRRRKThe bridge from Dior to CCP being Rick Owens.
