SatagoHello everyone! I'm looking for a rum scent, not too masculine leaning. So, in my search for the perfect scent, I came across
Van Py Rhum and
Andalusian Soul . How do they smell compared to each other, if anyone has had the opportunity to smell them both?
Thank you!
Hi!
If you want to check some of my favourites are
Andalusian Soul Unfortunately I haven't tried that
Van Py Rhum so I can't compare them but Andalusian Soul is very sweet with ambery and slightly balsamic aroma.
Vanilla Diorama One of the best versatile Vanillas, not too boring, not too simple, just perfect with warm spices, creamy Sandalwood and Rum.
Love Delight This is a strange one since it's not so good if you smell from the skin but the scent cloud of it is irressistible. It's powdery, like a rum flavoured sugar cloud.
Parfum de la Nuit 2 is an absolutely elegant and luxurious, resinous blend with a subtle boozy undertone from Rum. This one is not a gourmand.
Lost in Paris The most luxurious gourmand which I have ever tried. This is the most gourmand from this list - caramel, butter, Vanilla, Rum, delicious.
Spiritueuse Double Vanille Classy combination of Rum, Vanilla and Benzoin, I would say that this one and
Andalusian Soul has a similar style with different twist.
Fan Your Flames X I'm not a fan of flankers but I love this one. The original is great but too loud sometimes, masculine leaning as well. This is pretty and if you love the combination of rum and coconut, this is so gorgeous. This is another one which is not clearly gourmand.
31 Tonka Bodykon This is like a feminine and sophisticated version of
Angels' Share Eau de Parfum . They are totally different scents but with almost same notes.
Story of your Life Nothing special but worth to check from this scent profile. A pastry like texture.
These all are sophisticated and feminine leaning. Rum is not that strong bold alcohol blast in your face but elegant, attractive and irresistible nuance in the blend. "Tony Iommi Monkey Special | XerJoff" is a great scent but it's strong and it has totally different kind of vibe than those ones above. If you love feminine scents I think it's too much for you, worth to try though. I have it and love it but rarely reach it because of how overwhelming it can be.
