I'm a perfume fan (hobbyist? I don't know how to name it), and I wonder if this still holds. Nowadays, the "luxury" brands such as the Arab ones, and even the "western" European niche catering to the biggest spenders are making a lot of oud fragrances, gourmands, incense perfumes... Basically anything thick, dense, almost syrupy. They don't limit to this, of course, but ouds became much more common in the last years
- omnimus 1y agoCan you recommend some fragrances or a brand that does some contemporary subtle forresty mossy but also is not crazy expensive posh branding endeavour?
- amarcheschi 1y agoI'm not entirely sure I understood your request, something foresty? Not a lot into those, anyway Helan vetiver and rum, don't know if it's available in usa. Has a rum note as well as moss, I've definitely heard people around me saying it smells like forest, to me it's more of a mossy scent Erbolario Periplo, but it's more Mediterranean bushes Dsquared original wood Maybe lalique encre Noire or encre Noire sport I'd suggest to try them before buying them

- amarcheschi 1y agoSauvage is a big ambroxan offender, a cold sharp metallic note that pierces the brains around the person wearing it, who clearly has no brain for damage to be suffered (/s)

- washadjeffmad 1y agoThere's a particular Middle Eastern market I visit where the cash reeks to high hell of cologne. It turns out a few of the customers douse their dollars with their personal scents to remind everyone who's spending money with them, and I suppose to see where it might be circulating.
