The name Odoon is derived from the word odun in Turkish and it means wood. Omer's ode to wood. Hyperwood. An orgasmic overdose of wood. Woody woodiness. #gotwood ?? I know I do. PS Oh, I forgot. Omer's the nose, creator and sole owner of the brand, Pekji, based in Istanbul. A wonderful man who I'm proud to call friend (and no, this bottle was not gifted, it was bought with my own moolah).

Bois Imperial. Futuristicly (my word, I'm retaining the copyrights) good stuff. The ambroxan is strong with this one.

Get into the ring! Papa Serge's Boxeuses. Plummy suede or suedey plums. Whichever way you take it, it's a knock out. Pardon the pun. I know, it's a cheap shot. Damn it. Again. PS I was half-tempted to put it against something from the Rocky soundtrack (Eye of the Tiger??) but naah, too obvious. And naff. One more thing, and this is more of a rant, why oh why has Serge decided to release this only in bell jar bottles AND make it exclusive to Palais Shiseido boutique in Paris! Doesn't make any (commercial) sense. Doesn't he know there are lots of dabbing and decanting haters out there? 😅 Rant over.

Étui Noir. Some cutting down to size is overdue.

Jasmin Et Cigarette from the talented nose of Antoine Maisondieu. One of ELDO's best and most underrated perfumes, and one of my wife's faves (I lost count how many bottles she went through), of course she's completely ruined it for me as I instantly associate the perfume's smell with her (and by that I mean I can't wear it myself 😁). Completely unisex. A brilliant combination of crisp, clean, non indolic floral jasmine and tobacco, where the tobacco smells more like a light wind of cold cigarette smoke and ash, caught from a distance. Superb.

Papa Serge's Chergui. The Mona Lisa of niche perfumery. That's all.

M7. The legend, the unicorned flying white (in this case red) pig, the 1st oud in Western perfumery, the original panty dropper, the Elvis Presley of men's perfumes. That's all. Goodnight, ladies and gentlemen. PS I'll be in Vegas until the end of the week.

The one that started it all. This is the perfume that took me tumbling down the olfactory hole to the wonderful world of perfume and like an obsessed, mad, fragrant Alice I have been staying there forever. Yes, there have been others before it, like Armani Pour Homme and Daniel Hechter Caractere in the 80's and Romeo Gigli Uomo, Balenciaga PH and Ferragamo in the 90', but this particular pencil shavings masterpiece took me to the other world of niche, indie, and then rare, vintage and discontinued. We can also play Spot the perfume name as the letters are now so faded one can barely see it, the bottle is THAT old. Almost as old as me (naah, I'm joking, take the perfume's age and triple it and you'll almost get there. Almost). Of course, the bottle is SO iconic, there's not a fumejunkie in this world that would have the slightest doubt what (or who??) this perfume is. https://youtu.be/pnJM_jC7j_4?si=AdKOh3rU7uppWbCC

The unbearably unbeatable chic minimalism of Helmut Lang EDC. Like drifting snow in a bottle. Can you imagine Helmut gifting bottles to influencers on Instagram? I DONT THINK SO.

Tom Daxon's Resin Sacra is in my opinion the best offering from his brand. A very underrated, most beautifully refined soft incense and suede perfume. Recommended for one of those cold, windy rainy dark days, when all you'd want to do is sit in front of a gently burning fireplace, wrapped in a warm cashmere blanket, sipping from a hot mug of coffee, ideally strengthened with a generous slug of whiskey, listening to the wind and rain mercilessly hitting your window and not have the slightest care in the world.

La Fumee Ottoman. My favourite from the La Fumee line, followed by Arabie and the original. This one is less about the tobacco, like in the original, and more about smoky incense, rose, sandalwood, cumin and cardamom. Gorgeous stuff. One of the last perfumes created by Lyn, before selling her company (read pushed out and forced to sell her stake to a faceless Japanese conglomerate) and going off to create her own little slice of heaven in Marylebone, called Perfumer H.

Amouage Interlude AKA The Blue Beast. Personally I think it's dark purple, but that's up for debate. Or maybe I'm just colour blind or maybe it's just my vintish bottle. I'll leave the colour interpretation to the experts. Shall we leave it at dark blue-purple? But I digress. Its tentacles of incense can drive a man to madness. Anyone with self-destructive tendencies should try 4 sprays of it on a hot 30C August day. Just for shi*s and giggles. Feels like walking through a hot desert (is there any other kind??) under the blazing sun at midday, heavy, mouth dry, choking and gasping for air and being tightly hugged by a grizzly mama bear with anger management issues, who somehow believes you're her long lost partner reincarnated in human form. At the same time. Go ahead. I dare you. I dare anyone. Make my day. Me? Been there, done that.

Zara Leather Jardin. Because I HAD TO. For non-perfumistas out there this is hard to comprehend. But my fellow tribe's people get me. Because this IS THE LEATHER perfume of the last 10yrs. A most astonishing, brilliant, monumental floral chypre leather masterpiece, with a very vintage feel, and I keep repeating myself but it's true, it's up there with Chanel Cuir de Russie Edt and Miller Harris Cuir D'Oranger. Is THAT good. When I've smelled it the first time I had an Eureka moment, a Thomas Edison this is your lightbulb realisation. That's all.

Leather Jardin, created by Jo Malone for Zara. A superb floral leather, with a slightly dusty, vintage feel, sitting somewhere between Miller Harris Cuir D'Oranger and Chanel Cuir de Russie, not that it's similar to any of these 2 giants, but it gives you an idea of how brilliant this perfume is. This perfume punches far above its weight and its quality to price ratio is beyond unbelievable. A perfect example of a perfume done right which doesn't (have to) break the bank. I cannot recommend this enough, it's back up bottle worthy.

For the umpteenth time I have to gush my fanboy admiration at the genius of enfant terrible, (non-caped) crusader, justice fighter of the perfume world, Christoph Laudamiel. This man can do no wrong in my eyes. Everlasting is my fave from The Zoo NYC, Christophe's own brand. Everlasting is an ode to Narcissus and Labdanum, and even though I don't see perfume in colour, like some lucky people out there ( a condition called Synesthesia, and I used double commas as I'd consider that a gift), this is the only perfume I have smelled that smells and feels very yellow/brown to me, Narcissus is primarily white (but also yellow), so maybe I'm onto something..?.. Anyway, I can't describe this perfume any better than Natalie Loren in her brilliant review titled The scent that made me reconsider all other perfumes published in Into the Gloss. A MUST READ.

I've never cared for the original Reflection, as the unfortunate olfactive association to JPG's Le Malle was too close for comfort to my nose, Le Malle always being for me the epitome of the smell of a horny teenager with his hormones into overdrive. Fortunately (for me) 45 manages to step away from the unwanted parallel and be the more adult, grown up version of the original. Superb stuff. Nuclear performance. Unbutton that shirt all the way down to the navel and let that shaved, moisturised chest glisten in the light of the sun, and the wind flow through your wavy hair. You're worth it.

Best £30 I've ever spent, outside of SJP's Stash. A yummy leathery, boozy, spicy, sexy ambery vanilla that is never cloying. Now, where are my cigars?? And my tux. And my limo. And my bottle of Remy Martin 1738...
