Suggestions based on my collection

Hello everyone,

Based on my profile and what I have both as a bottle/partial/miniature (Torino21 and Oajan are in such 30ml miniatures), what fragrance categories my collection is missing?

Couple of points:

1. Hacivat X is almost done (7-8ml left) and most certainly will be replaced by Absolu Aventus; I was smelling something off the past year with my now 2.5 year old Hacivat X and the decant of Hacivat I got was very dissapointing.

2. I am almost 100% I will go for Gris Charnel Extrait and Herbes Troublantes/Desobeissant (I like HT so much, but it doesn't last at all, really impressed with the testing I did for Desobeissant, would rather get a decant first to test the performance).

2. Most of the fragrances from "To buy - decants first" were already sampled and left a good impression (exception for Trouble in Paradise)

3. Once I get to like 16-20 bottles (including the 2 miniatures I have currently for Torino21 and Oajan), I plan on going for 30ml "premium" decants/miniatures, especially if those scent profile are big on performance or are more special ocassion fragrances.

Thank you in advance!

You seem to like a lot sweet amberwood fragrances, if you want to add something different maybe something with a vintage\classic feeling, a fougère for the fresh side and a good chypre for the heavy side. Or maybe something oriental\oudy.

I totally agree with you, which is why I went on a long decant streak to try some fresher fragrances. I would say I want something green but I am a bit picky to it.

Can you give some specific examples for those categories (the more the better)?

Bon Monsieur (my husband wears this one, it's very classically masculine soapy green but it's a BEAST so spray lighty)

Mousse Illuminée

This line is all vintage inspired and make excellent fougère scents, I would explore the entire collection.

Hi! If you don't mind me asking, where do you like to buy decants? 

Normally I stick to facebook groups from my country

I'm not an huge fan of long lists because perfumery needs time and suggesting 10-20 fragrances is to me like not suggesting anything, you just get lost in too much information. BTW the two suggested before Bon Monsieur and Mousse Illuminée are both good and I like them both, just to give you some contest the first is a sort of "polished" and smoother Drakkar Noir Eau de Toilette, has the vintage fougère vibes without beeing so aggressive in the oakmoss overdose as the old times "masculine scents", the second is more complicated, kinda of humid-wet earthy greeness that is not for everyone, be sure to test it, I'm sure that it can be problematic for more than one person.

I will give you just a couple of suggestions following the " want something different" path ok? I don't even know if they can match your taste, they are just very different from what you have in the collection.

1) Colonia Eau de Cologne recently tasted, it is a remake of the first fragrance of the italian historical brand. It is vintage, hghi quality citrus pushing on the green\pungent almost acidic facet (lemon-bergamot) with just an hint of sweetness and then you have the aromatic rosemary note with some flowers that once were considered "masculine" (lavander, green geraniol rose ecc...) sustained by some light musks (nothing similiar to the monster musks you can find in Torino21 just to refer to something you know) and patchouli to simulate an oakmoss feeling. This is a total different wear compared to the what you are probably used to, it is more short living (2-4 hours wear, forget the everlasting synthetic amberwoods of PDM or xerjoff) brigther, fresh and pungent.

2) Oud Indochine this is a top tier oud, mostly natural, it will give you the chance to smell some natural materials you lack in your collection. It is well blended and not challenging even for someone that is not used to oud, it is animalic yes, but the blend totally cuts off the cheesy-sweaty component of the indian oud (which is the most challenging facet for the people not used to the material). DISCLAIMER: I have no intention of pushing yoo to buy a 500 bucks fragrance, I'm just giving an hint about something very different from what you are used to and own, do not pull the trigger on this, just find a sample to test the high quality artisanal and natural materials here.

I would recommend you to try the following:

Decas (could match your collection)

Nothing but Sea and Sky

Royal Oud

Amber Malatya

@Bonkzr , it seems, you don't have some:

a) some classics. Such as Zino Eau de Toilette,
Lapidus pour Homme Eau de Toilette or Eau Sauvage Eau de Toilette .

b) some woody fragrances. Something like Oud Wood Eau de Parfum or Bois Impérial Eau de Parfum might do it.

c) florals. No, they are awesome for everyone. Maybe start with Reflection Man or Halfeti Eau de Parfum
