Got Tauer- Au Coeur du desert, which is essentially an extrait version of his cult classic L'air du desert Marocain. It basically forgoes the smokey aspects of the original (which I love), with the spices dialed down, going straight to the heart. It's a lot smoother and rounded, with better longevity. Definitely worth a sniff if you found the original too much or too whatever, although some may find it redundant if you own LDDM.

So, I thought I'd try something new - I am interviewing Frederic Malle tomorrow for StyleZeitgeist magazine, and I decided to crowd-source some questions. What would you ask Mr. Malle given a chance?Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

I've been dabbling a bit more in fragrance recently, decided to go with something pretty heavy - Le Labo Patchouli 24, quite incredible. It's like a smoky slap in the face. I often find if I wear it one day and don't properly wash it off in the shower, it will overpower whatever else I'm wearing the next day (even toward the end of the day). Over 24 hours on me. Certainly not something that I could wear daily though. I find it reminds me of the smell of my home town in autumn and winter - smoke and fires.
I tend to go with fragrance that brings back childhood memories, another one which does this to a huge extent is Comme Avignon. Pretty much a spot on rendition of the incense used in the catholic church.
Others I've recently bought are Comme Black, Wonderwood and Man 2. I'm finding a bit of a choice is good for inspiring different moods, and it's nice to have a little variety depending on the day and current mood.

If it's not too late, I would be interested in his thoughts on where the industry is going. Given the acquisition of his own brand, does he see the trend of acquisitions of niche houses continuing? On a related note, does he see any danger of creative freedom being reigned in after such acquisitions? In his case, I have a feeling that he has enough devout followers to pull his weight on creative decisions, but perhaps it would be more difficult for lesser known brands.

Got some new samples in this week. Was really impressed by Diptyque Philosykos, which is fairly cheap for niche. Was expecting a lot from MFK APOM homme. It has a somewhat similar vibe to Reflection Man, but less clean and way less performance on me. However, I think have to jump on the Aventus hypetrain first, since spring is coming up.

Obviously not restricted to Men's fragrances but looks like CDG is re releasing some of their older scents - does anyone have experience with any of these? I'm always interested in the products that were around before I really learned more about certain brands - some of these are from around 2005!

I also saw this a few days ago, fantastic news! I still have all but one (Mint) from the Green series, I used to have both Skai and Tar (now have only Skai) from Synthetic. Still have Palisander from the Red series. Was never a huge fan of the Sweet series, but Nomad Tea was one of the better ones there if my memory serves me right and it is part of the relaunch.
