animalic perfumes that smell like sex and danger
by Coasterdude | Perfume Recommendations
...When you find out I want all of them :)but seriously speakingSalomeSalome is incredible for the purely feminine Mandodari / มณโฑMandodari is still femme imo but like vaguely soft-hard vibesUnutamamUnutamam is extremely masc but oh my god I would lose my shit if a woman wore it The Lover's TaleThe Lover's Tale is great and kinda queasy-frisky in a way sorta like VaranasiVaranasi which is also incredible with a similar note to Tonnerre / 1805Tonnerre which is the only animalic too much for me. You might like that or Vi Et Armis / East IndiaVi Et Armis tho Yloud-YloudYloud-Yloud and Oud Maximus (2020)Oud Maximus (2020) are both incredible but maybe a bit less distinct

Scent of the Day
by Coasterdude | Perfumes & Brands
...Wearing SalomeSalome for the first time from the bottle after getting a sample months ago It’s all relative... I’m getting like an orangey, chocolatey, sorta cola-y vibe but like with other things too... still figuring it out! Maybe some myrrh, apricot, oud, honey, slight funk , Benzoin, civet, musk, castoreum, Hyraceum, rum, almost a strawberry, almost a chalkiness

What would you create?
by Coasterdude | Perfume Discussions
...Basically a Leather chypre with no aldehydes with a ton of inspo from Francesca Bianchi’s The Lover's TaleThe Lover's Tale and both high-grade oud ( known for it’s cola quality) and more distasteful (to some) Laotian animalic oud, there are also a ton of animalics… going for a mix of Oud Maximus (2020)Oud Maximus (2020) base and The Lover's TaleThe Lover's Tale base. I also wanted traditional base notes like cedar and vanilla to have an ethereal, distant, top feel. I also took elements of SalomeSalome like the hyraceum and floral combo and also added some other diff notes I love that are untraditional to chypres: notably Patchouli among othersalso replaced the typical cedar base with top note cedar and palo santo/white sage base I just think it’s cool. will prob get Ensar to make this bespoke when I have a LOTT more money

...NicheOnlyI'm pretty experienced in the so-called premium niche tier (from recognized brands), but a lot of these are wayyyy out there for price.Some of my suggestions:SultanSultan - top oud-vanilla on the market from a very hard to access brand, €579 for 100mlNefsNefs - oud-rose-honey with ~10 layers, perfect standout fragrance for fall-winter, €525 for 50ml"Oud Stars - Alexandria II (Parfum) | XerJoff" - powdery oud-rose, love this as a formal-business signature scent, €545 for 100mlEnigma pour Homme / Creation-E pour Homme (Parfum)Enigma pour Homme Parfum - like a slightly animalic coca-cola, €450 for 50mlScents that I have wishlisted:NocturnaNocturna - I view it as a femme fatale fragrance, but it's surprisingly close to unisex. Smells like sugared tropical fruit with some florals and ambergris, a high-quality take of the scent profile offered by God of FireGod of Fire ImperatorImperator - one of my favorite woody blends, smells like a plate of sawdust. Creamy laurel on dry cedar. Elysium pour Homme (Parfum)Elysium pour Homme Parfum - we all know thisScents that have been of interest to me:meltmyheart (Eau de Parfum)meltmyheart Eau de Parfum - it appears to be a very nice gourmand fragranceDubai - TurathDubai - Turath - the profile offered by scents like Jubilation XXV ManJubilation XXV Man and Secret TrystSecret Tryst is among my most loved, so the accords on this do have me interestedThe MoonThe Moon - just haven't gotten around to this yetall are on my wishlist too!!

...Frabra88It doesn't cost that much but it surely smells like thousands , it's Russian Tea from Masque Milano, it captures the smell of a first class compartment train to Russia between tea and a seriusly sophisticated leather. Extremely well blended, as many are from the exception nose Julien Rasquinet.Sounds PERFECT

...Out of curiosity if it were sold at cost how much would something like Notes from Underground (Pure Parfum)Notes from Underground Pure Parfum or Mystical Lotus (Parfum)Mystical Lotus Parfum cost? Their retail price is between 1,500 and 2,750 USD

...Then screw it I’ll start my own brand only using forest absolutes of the rarest trees, mysore sandalwood from vintage organic wild harvests, Kinam oud distilled by Sultan Qaboos himself,  blue lotus from flowers of the time of cleopatra and the Hashemite stash of Tonkin musk, taif rose of grand cru, da hong pao tea from the Chinese Chairman’s collection.  If people drink Macallan 25 and 1945 port, then my perfumes will be as good. Sell at cost too
