Scent/Fragrance of the Day - 2012

Clive Christian's "C" for Men

L'Occitane Eau des Baux

Accords: Citrus, Smooth, Warm, Sexy-Clean Vetiver
Notes: Grapefruit, Cassis, Dossinia, Honeysuckle, Vetiver, Musk

I didn't know what dossinia was, but when I read that it smells similar to lily-of-the-valley I knew what I was smelling in the opening. I get a little cassis in the opening as well. After half an hour I get the honeysuckle which is noticable for a couple of hours. The vetiver is there in the background along with musk throughout and being a perfume oil it lasts all day, but this is a skin scent and the notes a quite faint.

Essentially Me - Sandalwood Extract

This is an extract of sandalwood in alcohol. It's diluted, but still pretty strong. And the kicker is, it smells like a combination of sandalwood & maple syrup. Really, really wonderful stuff.

Lacoste Essential.
Great for summer.

Neriko
by Agar Aura

Another fantastic mukhallat that will take some time to fully explore but for the time being is an amazingly pleasant experience with a soft "fuzzy" warmth to it and a slight fruitiness that reminded me of cherries (or could be plums, I guess) with a touch of cinnamon. There is a slight resemblance to Bushi no Kaori but they are distinctively different. This one elicited the first compliment (first comment period, for that matter) from one of my coworkers who said I smelled "good, earthy." I remembered immediately the description of this, which described the historical process that entailed burying the pellets to age. This one started out with a soft woodiness, then some spice (cinnamon?), then some fruit appeared, then it became more incense-like with subtly sweet leathery notes.

Terre de Bois by Miller Harris, very nice fresh cedar fragrance for a warm summer day!
