dry

I am looking to create a deep, dry woodsy base for a fragrance. I am having trouble finding a combination of a fixative and a wood that doesn't end up just a bit too sweet. I have the following ingredients: Acetal (Natural) Acetophenone (Phenyl methyl ketone) Adoxal (Givaudan) Aldehyde C-10...

Dear community, recently i placed an order with Bulk Aroma, from india. I didn´t buy any of the materials i already know, so i can´t attest to the quality of them. But a certain mitti Attar co-distilled with IPM caught my eye. As most of you should be aware, Mitti Attar is Clay distilled with...

Obsessively searching for a specific scent... Has anyone smelled this: ? Hayloft on a hot day, wafts of gentle smoke from nearly smoldering hay stacks, old barn wood, all surrounded by a field of dry grass, clover, and marigolds. Slightly resinous & dry. Wearable. (Not gourmand, no-rose...

I really like the idea of putting a few pieces of a dry fragrant matierial - spices, a leaf or bark, solid aromatics, etc- into my breast pocket as a way to carry a gentle fragrance everywhere I go. It fits my style better than a spray, and opens up options for fragrances which aren't found in...

I love Eau de Colognes, but I’m on the lookout for a very “dry” or astringent classic Eau de Cologne. Chanel, 4711, Eau de Guerlain, Creed Jardin d’Amalfi are all very full-bodied, they kind of have a thick or “fatty” style. I think it’s generally just a lot of neroli that causes this style...

I want to buy my husband a new beard trimmer and shaver. Can anyone recommend a really good one, money (more or less) no object. Any ideas? Thanks.

I'm looking for something super spicy and super dry (which is why I'm posting on the Male side of the forums). I basically want something that smells like I'm sitting in the back of a caravan, traveling across the desert to trade canvas bags of spices in far-off lands north and east. Exotic...

Lutens MKK with an overdose of patchouli. Whoa, this stuff is intense!!! Just got my sample. Also received CDG 2 Man which I like much much better than Kyoto and Avignon. Will see how both dry down.

I'm sure the dry down Pure Malt is great, but if it's in sacrifice of the opening/middle notes then I would sure as hell never buy it. I mean, will you really sit around for an hour or so just to get rid of that poisonous smell? Usually when I spray on my cologne I go straight outside and catch...

Thoughts? I like! A fragrance that has contrasting parts. A ‘fat’ part, and an ‘electric’ part. The “Fat” part: Vanilla bean, opoponax and myrrh create this. These base and heart notes lend to a warm vanilla like, semi-gourmand sensual feel. I’m reminded of Givenchy Pi here, but I like...

Searched for this in forums and couldn't find anything, surprised such a thread doesn't exist. What are your all time favorite fragrance dry downs? Mine: Fahrenheit Cigar (Remy Latour) Escada Homme Polo (original) The Dreamer Terre d'Hermes Tobacco Vanille Tuscan Leather Burberry The Beat...

hey guys, So let me explain my situation a little bit. I have somewhat thick facial hair, i usually let it grow out for a week or two before trimming it very closesly (to the point where it's basically long stubble). When I DO shave though (not too often) my face gets very dry, and i get some...

Hello everyone, I am trying to recall the name of a perfume. Its a men's type, with a long dark bluish almost black bottle. The bottle is thin, long and ridged from top to bottom. I can't describe the scent that much, but its a fresh, clean, almost like "newly washed" laundry or something--i...

with the addition of coffee / cocoa is cool too, but not a must. I have Borneo 1834 on the way Already tried Coromandel which is too fem for me. anything else?

Ok I've used up all of my Cool Water and am looking to get a new scent but for the same usage (work scent and daily wear). I've tried out Bulgari Aqua, Chanel Allure Sport and Issey Miyake pour homme, any other suggestions I should try out and which one of tose 3 would be best? I have dry skin...

Ok.... Twice I've had a sample in stick/dab form that when I finally get the fragrance and spray it.... it's different! It seems like that when you get a stick/dab sample you pretty much completely miss the opening. It's like the atomizing brings the whole opening out where the stick/dab takes...

Today I went to my side shelf for my SOTD, I went with something called Rykiel Man. This is, hands down the most unique fresh fragrance I've ever smelled. EVER. I cannot break this fragrance down. The closest I can say is that it smells like limes, soda, laundry detergent, and a little tea. It's...

Last winter, I used to smell this: Lacoste pour Homme: Fruity Vanilla The One for Men: Orange Marmalade on Buttered Toast served in a woodshed :) Boss Soul: Spicy Christmas Cookies B*Men: Spicy, Fruity Redwood But in the last month I've noticed that now, I smell this: Lacoste pour Homme: A...

men's bathroom smells great! It smells better than a lot of colognes I have come across. It is so weird, I am tempted to open up that little auto-sprayer high on the wall and see what the janitor is putting up there. Anyone out there come across some great aromas/scents in the oddest places...

Hi Guys Eventually got round to joining after what seems like ages lurking around :smiley: Im off to New York in November and I'm hoping to pick a new scent so was hoping to pick your brains for some recommendations. Im not great at describing smells but after filling in the wardrobe section...
