Review of Cuir de Russie Eau de Parfum by Chanel

Well, oof. The one is hard for me to write simply because Cuir de Russie in extrait form has been the perfume love of my life. To me, there is simply nothing that compares to its gorgeous and somehow sophisticated amalgam of horse hide and jasmine. How-evah...since i can no longer get my greedy paws on the pure parfum (thanks, marketing-morons at Chanel!), this new EDP will definitely do. It's not as androgynous as the old EDT, it's true, and it's definitely not as civety and animalic as the ancient EDC, AND it's not as smoky and intense as the current extrait, but it's still my baby. Still the most beautiful rendition of floral leather ever made. So...

Review of Sandalwood in Oak by Scents of Wood

Scents of Wood Sandalwood in Oak is an appropriately more woods-focused blend that nonetheless has a boozy aspect from the aging process in barrels that inspires the scent and many others in the house’s now-rather-extensive catalogue. Sandalwood mixes with guaiacwood, sage, burnt sugar, pepper, and vanilla. It’s a bit resinous, slightly sweet/smoky/spicy, all while having the blend of woods as its main centering characteristic. There’s a vaguely syrupy, peppery gourmand quality to it even though it’s far more a woody/smoky/resinous blend. As with the rest of the house’s creations here, the quality is very high and the performance above...

Review of Moment Suprême by Jean Patou

As Moment Suprême, I immediately experience cloves, lavender and rose, underlined with geranium, and I am sent to a happy place. There's something that tickles my senses when lavender and rose are combined (see also Penhaligon's Hammam Bouquet, Oriza L. Legrand Cuir de l'Aigle Russe, es Parfums de Rosine Rose d'Homme). For many, this combination may feel antiquated or stuffy, but I on the contrary, find it to be almost poetic: the counterpoint of aromatic and floral, a perceptual dissonance to resolved consonance. It feels almost metaphorical. I would classify this as an amber fougere, robust yet not defiant, circling my body as I wear it, seeming like...

Review of Opus V : Woods Symphony by Amouage

Starts out floral with a small hint of skank (very small). Something like Rose 31. It's not until about 2 hours when you actually get the wood notes. Beautiful fragrance overall. Unisex for sure due to the rose in this one. It's an Amouage, so you know the longevity is above average. I feel Woods Symphony could have been named something else because the woods is not the main accord I get with this fragrance. A nice fragrance nontheless.7/10

Review of Santal Noble (new) by Maître Parfumeur et Gantier

Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Santal Noble new 2017 edition is simply a perfect fragrance, a gorgeous complex sandalwood-rendition (resinous incensey, aristocratic, decadent, divinely retrò, multifaceted). It is basically a perfected version (just barely less massive and resinous) of its older brother, namely the vintage Santal Noble 1988 edition. An extreme balance between angular/spiky and soothing/creamy/resinous elements is the main argument in here. Ambergris and sandalwood (alongside high quality vetiver) are definitely the main protagonists of this olfactory work of art. Santal Noble opens dramatically, kind of boozy (the effect produced by...

Review of Cristalle Eau de Parfum by Chanel

Vintage Cristalle edp is either at the top or very near the top of my all time favorite perfumes!!!! On me it's a rich and dense floral/fruity green that goes on forever! And the base notes provide such a wonderful and solid anchor that the blissfilled cloud of scent stays with me for hours. If you really want to know the beauty of this perfume, I suggest that you obtain a true vintage bottle - don't bother talking about the more recent reformulations . . . they reflect cheaper replacement ingredients and not the true intent of the scent.

Review of Que Sais-Je? (original) by Jean Patou

The most mesmerizing from Ma Collection, Que sais je? ("What do I know?"), the one intended for brunettes, and its shadowy beauty leaves me at a loss for words. Creme de Peche de Vigne and Belle de Brillet cognac seem to form its core, with ancillary florals—ylang ylang, jasmine, rose—are the glowing highlights to this chiaroscuro. Nutty, woody, mahogany-like, with the presence of spice, particularly clove, sets the tone for what is even more enchanting, the ever advancing dry down. When the liqueur has been fully imbibed, and the florals recede, what's left is a granular, bittersweet myrrh, beeswax, and this confluence of woods and oily costus that...

Weekend Sync June 2024 - June 2025

Welcome to the Weekend Sync for 2024-25! Feel free to participate Saturday, Sunday, or both! The goal of this sync is to explore your collection through different lenses (aka themes). It is a great way to get to know your collection better and maintain interest in it. Another purpose of this sync is to get to know other Basenoters and see how a diverse range of fragrances relate to a common theme. It is great fun to read the connections that other BNoters share. Don’t worry about if I had a particular scent in mind for a theme - I can assure you that I did not! I have no idea what I will choose myself - that is what keeps it creative and fun for...

Decisions you regret the most/the least

What are some of the decisions you've made in this hobby that you most and least regret? For me, I most regret that I didn't buy a starter kit on day 1, instead opting to buy a bunch of materials haphazardly, only to eventually accumulate all the same materials that were included in the PA starter kit to begin with. "Calone?" I remember thinking, "Why would I need that? I hate aquatic frags." Four years later... Least regret: buying a bunch of decants of fragrances that were well outside of what I normally like, so that I could learn to understand them and broaden my horizon.

Aventus Confusion

Anyone here tried Aventus Vintage formula from Jaime Frater? What do you think about it? https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0682/1448/9400/files/Aventus844456.pdf?v=1697832702 I wanted to experience the famous Aventus, so I assembled the formula above (I've never smelled it before). I made some mistakes - the biggest one was accidentally overdosing Ambrettolide (not sure if it made a huge difference but I should redo it to see). I also didn't have the courage to use 10% of Ambroxan (and I only have it in DPG and was afraid that it would put too much DPG in), so I did 6.5%. I was also afraid to do 30% final concentration (I normally don't enjoy too strong...

Clarification on perfumery calculations

Initially I’d like to throw out that over the last 2 years I have been extensively studying perfumery ingredients, their properties and characteristics however i am what seems to be the most complicated stage. The calculations. I wish to make 2ml samples. I need final concentration at 15% Now say I have 10 total ingredients: 8 of these ingredients are 10% in DPG 2 of these ingredients are 1% in DPG Would I be correct to assume I need 0.30ml of total perfume ingredients including the DPG it’s in, so I would have to calculate it by the total measurement rather than concentration. For example: [*]Ingredients at 10% Concentration: [*]Ingredient A:...

Jo Malone: Let's have a discussion

I was always a fan of Lime Basil Mandarin, though it was kind of weak and aside from wearing it casually around the house, didn't have much need as it didn't last too long. So over time I've written the house off as fickle and dismissive. In recent times I've seen the cologne intense setting out, smelled a few that were nice, but didn't pay much attention. Fast forward to my trip, I was walking out of Nordstroms and the SA at the Jo Malone counter asked if I wanted to smell anything, so I kept an open mind. Right away she showed me Cypress and Grapevine. I was immediately captivated by the woody and musky character. It smelled so good on the card. She...
