Atelier Bois Blonds



Perfect for a Spring-like day. Feb 1? Feels more like May 1!

From luckyscent.com: "Bois Blonds has the highest concentration of the Atelier line— at 20%, its lasting power is considerable. An unusual hybrid of woody and fresh that is deeply satisfying." Okay, Luckyscent. Not unusual at all, but this is a very pleasant take on the popular citrus-woods cologne theme. Notes include Tunisian neroli, pink pepper, Moroccan orange flower, incense, light wood, musk, and Haitian vetiver.

Guerlain: Mouchoir de Monsiuer

 

[The Knize]

Profumum "Fumudius" (sp?)--Powerful and smokey. Maybe too much so for me and I adore strong vetitivers!

Another day that includes much windshield time with coworkers so nothing too funky or too strong. Decided against the Jan and Feb spotlights and went with LIDGE. Everyone likes cocoa, right?

Me too. Bond 9 New Haarlem today. The creamy vanilla with a bit of cocoa I pick up reminded me a bit of A*Men (without the mildew) and Animale Animale (but less synthetic and with better note separation). I swear I pick up a bit of immortelle in this as well. Also a nice coffee note, with a very nice, brief lavender at the opening. Overall a bit on the sweet side for me to love, but I would rate it a definite like and one of the better "gourmand" type fragrances I've tried.

Boucheron pour Homme. Like it, but it shore is fleeting!

Idaina Dento
by Agar Aura

ginger, spices, herbs, aged Mysore sandalwood oil, pink lotus, vanilla, Indian papyrus, and Vietnamese oud

Jeez, might as well start calling this the house of MIdas, everything is divine! It's not very strongly incense as much as it is a combination of things that have the effect of filling the space around with wonderful smells, like incense does. Spicy, woody and leathery is what I got for a long time, almost gingery/peppery at moments, with periods of light florals, then a slightly animalic creamy note that was obviously sandalwood. The sandalwood and oud combination was perfect. Golden!

I love, love, love this stuff. It was a blind, full (3ml) bottle buy, and definitely calls to mind quality Japanese incense.

Golden indeed!

How, or what words would you use to describe this one? Is it similar to anything we may know?

Judging by some of the reviews I have read/watched, you might not want to know the answer to this question.
