Men's Fragrances

[Dane]

Back on topic: what happened to the RO scent?

I would also like to know this...

[olethomas]

if there was anyone here ordering the SOME/THINGS magazine there would be 1 of 5 kinds of cashmere with the scent of the RO perfume wrapped around each issue.. but it would be a lot easier just to potentially buy the perfume. hasn't there been something out in the RO stores for some time for customers to just try smelling, or am i wrong?

Once again I seek the knowledge and expertise of the SZ community.

I've recently tried Andy Tauer's Lonestar Memories, and I'm rather taken by it. I love reading the reviews, as they are quite polarized. I'm just going to throw out some words for free-association, and maybe someone will have some fragrances to recommend?

This is what I am enjoying about it, or would enjoy in other scents: tar, rubber, smoke, creosote, medicinal, turpentine, or varnish.

-Le Labo Patchouli 24 (doesn't smell like patchouli...smokey, peculiar, a bit sweaty even).
-Bvlgari Black (rubber/vanilla)
-Santa Maria Novella Nostalgia (more rubber/tar)
-Tar or Garage from CDG Synthetic Series
-Les Parfums de Rosine Rose Flamenca (turpentine/rose)
-Serge Lutens Tubereuse Criminelle (camphor/gasoline/tuberose)

I just got samples of the CdG Play series Green and Black. I've been mixing them. It's now my go-to, along with Blood Concepts O (depending on my mood).

im kinda obsessed w/ candles lately , i kno theyre overpriced but rite now its a fun hobby for me . some of them have really nice glass vessels and i like watchin them burn when im chillin in my room , and the smell too .
anyone (dane?) have lots of exp w/ higher end candles ? i dont mean yankee candle bullshet . im gonna check out the cire trudon ones at barneys soon . some of the sa's there also showed me the fred malle ones which were pretty nice but none of em excited me . i have a few artisan ones which so far have been rly good in both creative smells ( not generic stuff named ' holiday wreath ' or ' lavender meadows ") and good sillage . got the modern alchemy one which i love alot . for me the scent is 1st priority but i also like nice vessels . i like keepin them on my desk . oh i almost forgot i wanna check out the odin ones , i love the dark glass jars and solid metal lids on them but i havent had a chance to smell any of em yet

I think if you ask nicely in a store, they may be able to let you smell it... it was / is diffused in all stores afaik.

Still on the hunt for a great vetiver.

Giving up on Malle. Nice kick off, but it fades to nout.

I've gone through all the obvious ones......

I assumed you've tried Sycamore by Chanel then? My personal fav....smokey, sandalwood-vetiver.

Other favs - CDG Vettiveru, Racine by Maitre Parfumeur (both citrus-y vetivers); KenzoAir (licorice vetiver); and Sel de Vetiver by The Different Company (salty, iris-vetiver).

Thanks Dane. As in most things, if it isn't in the name, my linear mind has tended to miss it!

I will work through your list!

Cheers

That's what I'm here for!

[teeteet]

Anybody tried the scents from Nico Uytterhaegen? Looks promising with the leather pouches etc but no way of trying it... seen em on Layers London web. Anyone?

[the breaks]

Sycomore is wonderful. I love vetivers and it's my absolute favourite.
