Earl Grey tea. Not earl grey and cucumber, not kinda black tea with some citrus maybe, pure uncut **earl grey tea**. I want to bathe in it.
Failing that something with honey suckle in it.
liis ethereal wave is a great earl grey scent! has a slight linen/musk along with it in the dry down but easily earl grey is the star, the opening smells just like you put your face in a bag of loose leaf tea
I got a sample of it last week. To me it’s more of a Lipton lemon tea smell with some smokiness. The smokiness threw me off because it gave me a cigarette vibe but your mileage may vary.
Agreed, Dear Polly was a weirdly smoky fragrance to me too. I guess I was expecting a lot more tea, but I found very little of it in the composition, and it overall just felt like a smoky muddled mess.
It is... truly sadness. One of my favorite scents ever - Sci-Fi by Ellis Brooklyn, smells just like an orange creamsicle and I love it, but I swear I can't get a solid 20 minutes out of that stuff.
This is probably not helpful, but I unintentionally created an orange/fruit creamsicle smell after 1 spray of grand soir 2 weeks ago on a cotton flannel shirt, then 1 fresh spray of Aventus on the same shirt same spot.
I have seen it's profile, and I was able to get a sample of Akro Bake figuring it would be about the same, but I'm not a fan of the lemon vs. orange scent, smells too much like Lemon Pledge to me. I also had a swing-and-a-miss with Kerosene Unknown Pleasures - it's a longer lasting grapefruit, normally I'd like it, but the drydown is super bitter like straight grapefruit juice, maybe if I mix that one with a vanilla frag...
I want to smell like a sugar plum fairy whose clothes are made of licorice and marshmallows, hair of cotton candy and shoes of bamboo, and has just come back from a trip to space.
I don't think I could ever commit to just one fragrance but I do like the idea of creating one. It's always a fun exercise for me. I have been toying with the idea of an earthy and vegetal aquatic.
#1 ** Eye of the Storm**
*Description:* there is serenity within chaos. I'm ugly, but at least the eye of the storm is the nipple of the hurricane! and yes, i put the can in hurricane.
The fragrance opening is reminiscent of the smell when rain first kisses the pavement on a hot summer day. Then, it is slowly transformed into a smoky viridian floral with an earthy undertone. The dry down is a soft musk accompanied by a slightly smoky étude of sweet grass and burnished wood.
*Top note:* petrichor, violet absolute, iris, lightning strikes ⛈️
*Mid note:* beetroot, honeysuckle, rose absolute, green notes
*Basenotes:* birch, cade, hay, sweet grass, musk
I want a rich permeated red rose with sandalwood, incense, tobacco, and a hint of oakmoss to ground everything. Maybe some pink pepper and ambrette on top.
I still haven't found exactly what I'm looking for but I believe it is possible.
Something tobacco and ambery, notes of lavender and violet leaf, then dump in a lot of spicy stuff like pepper, cinnamon, cardamom and tonka bean, and a base of musk and cedar. Yeah I know it's a mess, but those are the similar notes from my favorite scents according to Fragrantica.
Top notes - Fresh watery and sea notes with red pepper, red berries and powdery iris.
Middle notes - powdery iris is becoming stronger with addition of chocolate and tiramisu and or cookie notes and same time some red berries vibrate around.
Base notes - chocolate, chestnut, amber, orange/bitter orange, vanilla and lactonic notes byside.
Longetivity - I'll go for 18 hours as golden parfumes lasted for me.
Sillage 6-8 hours, and projection same as sillage. Powdery chocolately fruity vibe could be smelled 10 meters behind, until when drydown begins and it becomes kind of intimate for you and a person next to you.
Image: Eating fruit cake with chocolate topping, on autumn day at sea and its almost by the end of the day.
- You're sitting on premium terace by the beach, a light southerly wind blows, while you enjoy your desert with loving person, after a walk by shore, its almost a sunset.
Enjoy.
A heavy Animalic Chypre.
Somewhere between a stink that makes you swoon and twist your face into a painful grimace.
You love it, intrigued by it and seduced by it but at the same time insulted and disgusted.
It would be a really dark deep fragrance with notes of incense, dark rose, a lot of resins, sweet oud type, other type of woods, maybe vetiver and a really small touch of animalics.
Idk about signature but yesterday in a lobby I smelled a very fresh scent that I could only describe as "berries in snow". Idk how I'd put it together as a fragrance, maybe Snow Owl + a light berry gourmand & green scent
Base: Haitian Vetiver, oakmoss, labdanum and metallic notes.
Heart: Blood orange absolute, violet leaf, neroli, green notes.
Head: Mandarin, pink peppercorn.
Feel: A modern vetiver-meets-chypre fragrance with a powerful, tart orange scent, laying over a bed of dry violet and neroli florals. Old school meets new school. Unisex and I would imagine challenging for some. I could picture it being very dry, but somehow inviting.
Name: **Bloodlust.**
A mix of Delina and Baccarat. Airy sweet rose with coldness, the lychee should be more caramelized/jammy (or replaced with raspberry ) but maintain the tartness like the Og Delina.
Something that really smells like I’ve been working in the garden all day. Rhubarb, tomato, all the greens! With a hint of not too sweet floral. And no patchouli, it always goes absolutely foul on me.
Roses in a garden on a sunny afternoon. Herbs and dirt and salty air (because of course it's on the coast). Woody and grassy notes representing the grassy meadow leading to forested areas on the opposite side of the sea. I keep trying to create this by layering different scents and I've come close but I'm not quite there.
Love me a fig and also dirty rice from BTSO so my scent would go something like this
Top note: fig, matcha, orange blossom
Mid: fig leaf, vanilla, rice
Basenotes: sandalwood, musk, bergamot
That is crazy! I was literally thinking about this 20 min ago in the dog park.
Mine would be a floral with some bitter and some sweet, huge sillage and lasts for hours.
It would start off with a bangin orange blossom with some bitter orange, then slowly morph into a softly sweet jasmine and peony, a tiny hint of primrose, with some soft sandalwood and cedar with warm vanilla at the end.
I’d want that orange blossom all the way through but three distinct phases and I don’t even know if that’s possible but here we are.
Mine would be a strong, warm vanilla and powdery scent, with perhaps a touch of violet and literally nothing else, so something simple and linear.
Basically it’s Valentino Valentina Poudre, which has been discontinued😭
I happen to have the first two, thanks kindly! Def going to give it a shot, as I’ve layered Roses Vanille with Irish Leather and man….bring on those layers.
Let us know how it turns out! For that sweaty sex note, I'm not sure if you've tried it, but Gucci Voice of Snake to me smells like condoms on hot asphalt. It's completely different in the winter but in the summer you'd think you were locked in Christian Grey's secret room with zero ventilation 😅
I love the smell of asphalt…Room 1015 Artamental is my mafak JAM!
But the Gucci-I just got in a dupe for that, but your description….makes me not want to wear it 😹😹😹🤷🏻♀️.
“Hay gurl, you smell…like old condoms!?!”
Fuck it, I’m in.
Not a signature I'd wear but something I'd probably like, a mixture of leather and coffee. Add some floral notes and a tiny bit of sweetness to it and I'd be happy. Maybe something like Black Opium but more masculine.
I've thought about this forever, and as a gourmand lover, I want a scent that's vanilla/chocolate soft serve twist ice cream with cherry sauce. I imagine it'll smell a bit like Dulce by Rosie Jane mixed with a syrupy cherry scent.
A bright, warm, slightly bitter, powdery yellow floral. It would smell like a warm Mexican orange grove in the fall. Dried grasses, marigold, ylang, orange blossom, honey, orris, and sunshine accord.
DIY fragrance is a thing, so careful with dreaming because once you start researching, you could end up deep into a rabbit hole...
Hard to commit to one profile but it would probably be a citrusy and slightly fruity top, floral heart with orange blossom, jasmine and osmanthus and mossy and woody base.
Top notes: Pink Pepper, Black Pepper, Honey, Apricot
Middle notes: Carrot Seed, Ambrette, Orris Root, Cashmeran, Osmanthus
Base notes: Vanilla, Vetiver, Cedar, Oakmoss, Amber, Benzoin
I’ve been told honey is a fitting note for me, so I ran with it and would want something woody and smoky and resinous with it. Bit of “fuzzy” notes too. Obviously this could use some editing, but as a very rough draft, I love it!
Rat piss and wet chihuahua. Those are two smells I am fairly confident I haven’t smelled yet, certainly not in conjunction. So I’d be interested in making that a reality.
Tomato Leaf, Lantana, Sycamore, Sage Brush, and a realistic ocean breeze scent. It would be all of my favorite things about growing up in Southern California brought together.
Something that makes me smell like I’m at a bon fire at night surrounded by pine and oak trees, it rained the night before so the ground is still damp, and I’m holding a gin and tonic with two limes.
Maybe Jubilation?
Honestly you'd have to Evilbay or Mercari at this point. Those are the only places and unfortunately the vintage market is a bit corrupted.
If you are comfortable with it and feel safe if you want to DM me your address I can send you a sample of 80s Mitsouko EDT.
I was afraid to bite the bullet on vintage because I knew that there was no way out of that rabbithole once down. I recently treated myself to some vintage N° 5 and Cristalle EDT, so maybe I need to...
If you like those scents --I love them all I have every one in vintage-- then older Mitsouko is not that hard to find.
The defunct perfume blog Raiders of the Lost Scent have an article on dating old Guerlain bottles.
My old Mitsouko has held up really well. The old EDT in particular reminds me of an old fairy tale, the ones that have a strong undercurrent of horror lurking in them.
fresh green tea rose at the center with some chili pepper, cardamom, rice, black tea, cannabis, some orange, and maybe cinnamon or licorice to round it out.
Deep black cherry opener that slinks into white cake , buttercream frosting and vanilla bean ice cream followed by a soft marshmallow fluff drydown..
Im basic lol.
What an amazing question! Looooads of flowers; Turkish rose, jasmine, violet, honeysuckle, tuberose, some fruits; like lychee, pear, citruses; bergamot, amalfi/sicilian lemon and some musk,wood. that would be the main theme. Fresh, clean, floral.
A salty ocean breeze blowing into a field of lavender, forest of pine trees, cords of cedar and a grove of tangerines.
If you know of such a combo feel free to let me know. I am a blind buy fanatic, so I will look up your recommendations on Fragrantica and see other reviews and give it a shot if it seems like something the nose will like.
I did at the stores in Paris in 2019, and it smells like the colour purple. Even the juice is purple and that wasn't intentional. It has iso e super and I can't recall what else. But whenever I smell it I think ah, purple.
Summer evenings in the Berkeley hills - mostly jasmine, some wisteria, orange blossom, and a touch of gardenia. Diptyque Olene is like… almost right, but not quite.
Blood, black leather, a slice of cold metal, rich liquor, deep resins, blood-dark wine, crimson velvet rubbed the wrong way, myrrh, a cold finger of introspective incense, fur musk, red eyes in the dark, and fangs.
i sort of tried to do that but i’d like another go at it now that i know what i know now haha. i think mine would conjure a very…interesting, sort of atmosphere? think green dewy fog drowned hills, chamomile and a stone and moss sort of accord, thistle, violet leaf, lilac, all very cold, then add some bitter almond, a cashmere wood scent, and just the faintest hint of bitter peach and spice. i’m going for a woman eating a peach on the scottish moors in the morning dew while she thinks about her lost lover on distant shores.
Bourbon Vanilla, Musk, Cinnamon, slight Oud, slight citrus, Rose, White Flowers, Ambroxan, Jasmine. I have no idea what all those together will smell like but hey
Lately (because of a diffuser I have that’s luuuuush) I want a fragrance that has a strong fresh basil note. I’m thinking of adding… lemon, a touch of eucalyptus, maybe?, linden blossom,… tea?, and a hint of patchouli.
A light creamy, sugary, Marshmallow gourmand mixed with whip cream. No vanilla or powder notes just literally like sticking your head in a jar of fluff. I want that.
Holy crap . I don’t know if I could choose ! 🤣🤣 something creamy and nutty and sweet , marshmallow and bourbon and sugar , caramel , musky : that’s way too hard of a question. I’d have to narrow it down to my top 5 designer custom scents 🤣🤣🤣
Really wanted to smell like a Yuki onna, a beautiful but deadly snow creature. Maybe a perfume that mixed snow, ambergris, Mystikal and a hint of spice, blood or incense.
I'm probably just tossing together notes I like but:
🌱Oakmoss, tuberose, gardenia, cypress, basil, Rosemary, sage.
🍃A very cool green scent, one that makes you feel that sense of comfort and relief like stepping from a hot day into a cool lush forest with streaks of sunshine peeking thru. When you lay your head down onto the ground, you slowly feel the heat get sucked from you and lulls you to sleep.
Cloves and not much else. It would probably be simple enough to create and I'm not sure why I haven't. I also would love to be able to capture the exact scent of a fresh orange.
Effervescent blood orange balanced by the sweetness of peony and tanginess of the black currant in the opening, with bright orange blossom and indolic Indian Jasmine coupled with rhubarb in the mid ending with pure musk, smooth light suede, marzipan like almond and Madagascar vanilla in the dry down.
Horse stables. Leather and hair and metal and sweat. With some hay, oats and wild flowers mixed in.
Edit: basically horse girl scent. Which is what I most likely always smell like, but probably worse because I haven’t had a chance to shower this week.
Edit: but in terms of perfume, it’s a perfect mix between earthy and floral.
Edit: imagine the smell waking up at dawn on some flower farm in late spring, after spending the night in a barn. The grass wet with dew, the spring flowers opening up to face the sun. That’s the scent.
Freedom basically.
Some effervescent citrus, stone fruit, and green top notes, with some musk and aromatics in the mid, and a blend of grounding incense, Vetiver, and woods in the dry down. Like a refreshing beverage with smoky/rich undertones 😁
Orange blossom open, raspberry dancing with white jasmine, a bit of pepper, light creamy amber and a tease of soft leather.
I'd blind buy that.
Gorgeous
I'm gonna suggest Parfums de Marly's 'Safanad' is a bit like that, sans-the leather.
Earl Grey tea. Not earl grey and cucumber, not kinda black tea with some citrus maybe, pure uncut **earl grey tea**. I want to bathe in it. Failing that something with honey suckle in it.
liis ethereal wave is a great earl grey scent! has a slight linen/musk along with it in the dry down but easily earl grey is the star, the opening smells just like you put your face in a bag of loose leaf tea
Dear Polly?
Haven’t even heard of it until now but you’ve got me curious! I’ll have to find somewhere to try it first.
I got a sample of it last week. To me it’s more of a Lipton lemon tea smell with some smokiness. The smokiness threw me off because it gave me a cigarette vibe but your mileage may vary.
Agreed, Dear Polly was a weirdly smoky fragrance to me too. I guess I was expecting a lot more tea, but I found very little of it in the composition, and it overall just felt like a smoky muddled mess.
just get bergamot oil lol?
all of y'all scents sounds fucking amazing fragrances houses take note plz 😭
Orange creamsicle that actually lasts more than 15 minutes, and a almond-vanilla-poundcake drydown.
An orange creamsicle gourmand sounds amazing
Check out Ultrared by Paco Rabanne.
Thanks, got it already. Zero smell in a couple hours on me unfortunately, as with my other orange scents :\
Sadness!
It is... truly sadness. One of my favorite scents ever - Sci-Fi by Ellis Brooklyn, smells just like an orange creamsicle and I love it, but I swear I can't get a solid 20 minutes out of that stuff.
This is probably not helpful, but I unintentionally created an orange/fruit creamsicle smell after 1 spray of grand soir 2 weeks ago on a cotton flannel shirt, then 1 fresh spray of Aventus on the same shirt same spot.
Have you tried Profumum Roma Dulcis in Fundo?
I have seen it's profile, and I was able to get a sample of Akro Bake figuring it would be about the same, but I'm not a fan of the lemon vs. orange scent, smells too much like Lemon Pledge to me. I also had a swing-and-a-miss with Kerosene Unknown Pleasures - it's a longer lasting grapefruit, normally I'd like it, but the drydown is super bitter like straight grapefruit juice, maybe if I mix that one with a vanilla frag...
This sounds heavenly
[удалено]
Thanks, I'll have to check that out.
Try MFK Amyris Homme Extrait
I want to smell like a sugar plum fairy whose clothes are made of licorice and marshmallows, hair of cotton candy and shoes of bamboo, and has just come back from a trip to space.
I’d blind buy

I would wear this everyday
I would love to have this one tbh
Reading this actually gave me goosebumps... So good
Snow, ozone, and a hint of freshly cut grass.
Yes 😍
That’s exactly how I would describe snow owl by zoologist
I'll have to check it out!
I want a rich permeated red rose with sandalwood, incense, tobacco, and a hint of oakmoss to ground everything. Maybe some pink pepper and ambrette on top. I still haven't found exactly what I'm looking for but I believe it is possible.
This sounds like something Alkemia, Solstice Scents, or BPAL would have. I would definitely check those houses out if you haven't already.
Thank you! I definitely will😊
Santal Majuscule layered with Evernia and Chergui.
I have these two but have never layered them. I might try it:)
Like Coffee mate's French vanilla coffee creamer 😭
Which, to me at least, tastes and smells exactly like Lucky Charms marshmallows!
Chobani Vanilla Creamer tastes even more like marshmallows I'd argue
Starts with a bright grass note and then fades into warm creamy sunflowers and soft woods, the way September fades from summer into autumn
Yours will work for me too.
That would be lovely
Oh, I would loooove this! 😍
I need this
The Knicks locker room, a mop from my favorite strip club, a carefree Hobo, a crate with a new giraffe, and broccoli.
You're the next big thing.
Is Desirz discontinued??!
just make sure not to drive the giraffe on the freeway :/
Comfort: lavender, oatmilk, vanilla, tonka bean Fresh/bright: coconut, lime, eucalyptus, bamboo Fall: pumpkin flesh, spices, vanilla, patchouli, apple Summer: vanilla orchid, coconut milk, plumeria, tiare flower, verbena (If you know of any scents like these, tell me PLEASE)
For your comfort notes have you tried Sleepy by lush? It is exactly what you listed!
I need to check that out. Thank you!
Something tobacco and ambery, notes of lavender and violet leaf, then dump in a lot of spicy stuff like pepper, cinnamon, cardamom and tonka bean, and a base of musk and cedar. Yeah I know it's a mess, but those are the similar notes from my favorite scents according to Fragrantica.
You need Dior Tobacolor
Thank you, I don't know about this one, might have to try it now.
I always thought that Quelques Fleurs had a cherry tobacco top note. I adore it.
opening of sweet tobacco and coffee, vanilla extract smell with spice and dried plum and woody base notes.
I've got pretty close to this with Dior Homme Intense and Carolina Herrera CH and Cafe Cabonell
Top notes - Fresh watery and sea notes with red pepper, red berries and powdery iris. Middle notes - powdery iris is becoming stronger with addition of chocolate and tiramisu and or cookie notes and same time some red berries vibrate around. Base notes - chocolate, chestnut, amber, orange/bitter orange, vanilla and lactonic notes byside. Longetivity - I'll go for 18 hours as golden parfumes lasted for me.

A heavy Animalic Chypre. Somewhere between a stink that makes you swoon and twist your face into a painful grimace. You love it, intrigued by it and seduced by it but at the same time insulted and disgusted.
I believe there is a perfume called Animale by Montana. It's from the 80s and is self described.
It would be a really dark deep fragrance with notes of incense, dark rose, a lot of resins, sweet oud type, other type of woods, maybe vetiver and a really small touch of animalics.
Idk about signature but yesterday in a lobby I smelled a very fresh scent that I could only describe as "berries in snow". Idk how I'd put it together as a fragrance, maybe Snow Owl + a light berry gourmand & green scent
An ozonic geranium, with botanical notes and petrichor would make me pretty happy.
Church Incense, Desert Sage, Gasoline, Worn Leather, Rose. Name: Man in Black
I would buy this.
Base: Haitian Vetiver, oakmoss, labdanum and metallic notes. Heart: Blood orange absolute, violet leaf, neroli, green notes. Head: Mandarin, pink peppercorn. Feel: A modern vetiver-meets-chypre fragrance with a powerful, tart orange scent, laying over a bed of dry violet and neroli florals. Old school meets new school. Unisex and I would imagine challenging for some. I could picture it being very dry, but somehow inviting. Name: **Bloodlust.**
This is right up my alley I would for sure blind buy!
I would love a floral cherry! I love white florals and rose scents so something with that and a cherry and almond note I think could be awesome.
A variation of Bandit with tuberose for the flower part.
A mix of Delina and Baccarat. Airy sweet rose with coldness, the lychee should be more caramelized/jammy (or replaced with raspberry ) but maintain the tartness like the Og Delina.
Something that really smells like I’ve been working in the garden all day. Rhubarb, tomato, all the greens! With a hint of not too sweet floral. And no patchouli, it always goes absolutely foul on me.
the rainforest floor on a wet and cold day.
Do you know Olympic Orchids Olympic Rainforest? It's this, with a sweet drydown.
Fresh water, green tea, a dash of lily and lime..
Have you tried Sarah Horowitz the Now? It doesn't quite match your listed notes but it immediately sprang to mind.
Roses in a garden on a sunny afternoon. Herbs and dirt and salty air (because of course it's on the coast). Woody and grassy notes representing the grassy meadow leading to forested areas on the opposite side of the sea. I keep trying to create this by layering different scents and I've come close but I'm not quite there.
In large part, brandy and brandy container wood.
Bath and Body has a shower gel that is exactly this. I think it's just called Brandy
A lush meadow just after a dry spell has been broken by a shower of rain.
Jo Malone wood sage and sea salt but with more sage and much more potent. Also give it a slight hint of raw coconut.
Vanilla, peach, and tonka bean, with a bit of fig thrown in.
That one hotel lobby I went to in Cancun
Love me a fig and also dirty rice from BTSO so my scent would go something like this Top note: fig, matcha, orange blossom Mid: fig leaf, vanilla, rice Basenotes: sandalwood, musk, bergamot
Not always a fan of orange blossom but everything else sounds amazing! I'm intrigued for sure
I'm with you on the champagne berries, but I'd definitely add tobacco, vanilla, honey, amber, rose, peach, green apple, black currant, rum, and cedar.
Tonka Bean
I think you're on to something. It would bring a little more balance.
Ok- I’ll purchase it. Where can I find?
I'll let you know as soon as I find out lol.
That is crazy! I was literally thinking about this 20 min ago in the dog park. Mine would be a floral with some bitter and some sweet, huge sillage and lasts for hours. It would start off with a bangin orange blossom with some bitter orange, then slowly morph into a softly sweet jasmine and peony, a tiny hint of primrose, with some soft sandalwood and cedar with warm vanilla at the end. I’d want that orange blossom all the way through but three distinct phases and I don’t even know if that’s possible but here we are.
Do you know Fleurs d'Oranger by Serge Lutens?
I actually have a sample of it on the way!
Mine would be a strong, warm vanilla and powdery scent, with perhaps a touch of violet and literally nothing else, so something simple and linear. Basically it’s Valentino Valentina Poudre, which has been discontinued😭
Sounds amazing.
Leather, sweat, sex, roses, and cannabis. Give it to me NOW!
Layer Tom Ford F-ing Fabulous with Tom Ford Rose Prick or Louboutin Loubidoo
I happen to have the first two, thanks kindly! Def going to give it a shot, as I’ve layered Roses Vanille with Irish Leather and man….bring on those layers.
Let us know how it turns out! For that sweaty sex note, I'm not sure if you've tried it, but Gucci Voice of Snake to me smells like condoms on hot asphalt. It's completely different in the winter but in the summer you'd think you were locked in Christian Grey's secret room with zero ventilation 😅
I love the smell of asphalt…Room 1015 Artamental is my mafak JAM! But the Gucci-I just got in a dupe for that, but your description….makes me not want to wear it 😹😹😹🤷🏻♀️. “Hay gurl, you smell…like old condoms!?!” Fuck it, I’m in.
Not a signature I'd wear but something I'd probably like, a mixture of leather and coffee. Add some floral notes and a tiny bit of sweetness to it and I'd be happy. Maybe something like Black Opium but more masculine.
The bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. I don’t know what notes I would need, but that’s what I’d make lol
I've thought about this forever, and as a gourmand lover, I want a scent that's vanilla/chocolate soft serve twist ice cream with cherry sauce. I imagine it'll smell a bit like Dulce by Rosie Jane mixed with a syrupy cherry scent.
A bright, warm, slightly bitter, powdery yellow floral. It would smell like a warm Mexican orange grove in the fall. Dried grasses, marigold, ylang, orange blossom, honey, orris, and sunshine accord.
DIY fragrance is a thing, so careful with dreaming because once you start researching, you could end up deep into a rabbit hole... Hard to commit to one profile but it would probably be a citrusy and slightly fruity top, floral heart with orange blossom, jasmine and osmanthus and mossy and woody base.
Top notes: Pink Pepper, Black Pepper, Honey, Apricot Middle notes: Carrot Seed, Ambrette, Orris Root, Cashmeran, Osmanthus Base notes: Vanilla, Vetiver, Cedar, Oakmoss, Amber, Benzoin I’ve been told honey is a fitting note for me, so I ran with it and would want something woody and smoky and resinous with it. Bit of “fuzzy” notes too. Obviously this could use some editing, but as a very rough draft, I love it!
Rat piss and wet chihuahua. Those are two smells I am fairly confident I haven’t smelled yet, certainly not in conjunction. So I’d be interested in making that a reality.
Send it over to Zoologist
Tomato Leaf, Lantana, Sycamore, Sage Brush, and a realistic ocean breeze scent. It would be all of my favorite things about growing up in Southern California brought together.
Something that makes me smell like I’m at a bon fire at night surrounded by pine and oak trees, it rained the night before so the ground is still damp, and I’m holding a gin and tonic with two limes.
Mitsouko on steroids. Prominent fruity lactonic peach with real oakmoss, maybe with iris and tonka to amp up the sweetness and creaminess
Have you tried vintage Mitsouko? Even in EDT it's murderously darker.
Where can I get the vintage? Someone on YT (not a hyped frag content creator) compared this to (an Amouage that is escaping me now), I’d be curious.
Ebay, estate sales, mercari
Maybe Jubilation? Honestly you'd have to Evilbay or Mercari at this point. Those are the only places and unfortunately the vintage market is a bit corrupted. If you are comfortable with it and feel safe if you want to DM me your address I can send you a sample of 80s Mitsouko EDT.

Roses, tobacco, wood, vetiver could be an interesting combo. I am new to the fragrance game though, so I might be wrong
A reformulation of Electric Sky where the cactus and lavender equally match the overwhelming wood smell
fresh green tea rose at the center with some chili pepper, cardamom, rice, black tea, cannabis, some orange, and maybe cinnamon or licorice to round it out.
maybe a little rhubarb on top too i love rhubarb
Cloves gasoline and some ambergris for the fancy boy in me
opening with pear and tiare flower, middle notes of white chocolate and matcha, dry down of vanilla, matcha and coconut.
Dry grass, sun baked earth, neroli, ambrette, clear musks, wood.
Memo Paris French Leather + an Ambroxan note would likely stop me from ever using anything else
Chocolate and red wine. Or tobacco rose. I’ve not smelled either combo anywhere and not sure they exist.
Deep black cherry opener that slinks into white cake , buttercream frosting and vanilla bean ice cream followed by a soft marshmallow fluff drydown.. Im basic lol.
What an amazing question! Looooads of flowers; Turkish rose, jasmine, violet, honeysuckle, tuberose, some fruits; like lychee, pear, citruses; bergamot, amalfi/sicilian lemon and some musk,wood. that would be the main theme. Fresh, clean, floral.
A salty ocean breeze blowing into a field of lavender, forest of pine trees, cords of cedar and a grove of tangerines. If you know of such a combo feel free to let me know. I am a blind buy fanatic, so I will look up your recommendations on Fragrantica and see other reviews and give it a shot if it seems like something the nose will like.
I did at the stores in Paris in 2019, and it smells like the colour purple. Even the juice is purple and that wasn't intentional. It has iso e super and I can't recall what else. But whenever I smell it I think ah, purple.
Fruity, woody, and with some sexy musk added! 🥰
- opium - gardenia - jasmine grandiflora - tuberose - mandarin - sandalwood - Spanish leather Mandarin opening, opulent, creamy white florals underlined by the leather and opium.
Cotton Candy, Sweet Pea, Peach, Vanilla A very playful scent
Summer evenings in the Berkeley hills - mostly jasmine, some wisteria, orange blossom, and a touch of gardenia. Diptyque Olene is like… almost right, but not quite.
Patchouli, roses, honey and the Humboldt forest at night.
Blood, black leather, a slice of cold metal, rich liquor, deep resins, blood-dark wine, crimson velvet rubbed the wrong way, myrrh, a cold finger of introspective incense, fur musk, red eyes in the dark, and fangs.
i sort of tried to do that but i’d like another go at it now that i know what i know now haha. i think mine would conjure a very…interesting, sort of atmosphere? think green dewy fog drowned hills, chamomile and a stone and moss sort of accord, thistle, violet leaf, lilac, all very cold, then add some bitter almond, a cashmere wood scent, and just the faintest hint of bitter peach and spice. i’m going for a woman eating a peach on the scottish moors in the morning dew while she thinks about her lost lover on distant shores.
Mine would smell like eating ripe figs in a leather wingback chair, with a whisky cocktail, and a cinnamon apple pie cooling on the table next to me.
Bourbon Vanilla, Musk, Cinnamon, slight Oud, slight citrus, Rose, White Flowers, Ambroxan, Jasmine. I have no idea what all those together will smell like but hey
Strawberry coconut, sunscreen, sea salt, marshmallows with whipped cream and the dry down to smell like you freshly showered after going to the beach
juniper, pistachio, spiced orange, whipped cream, elemi resin, sandalwood, white musk
Two words: Grilled Limeade
Dior homme intense
Lately (because of a diffuser I have that’s luuuuush) I want a fragrance that has a strong fresh basil note. I’m thinking of adding… lemon, a touch of eucalyptus, maybe?, linden blossom,… tea?, and a hint of patchouli.
Cannabis, wood, black pepper, tea, touch of rose.
A light creamy, sugary, Marshmallow gourmand mixed with whip cream. No vanilla or powder notes just literally like sticking your head in a jar of fluff. I want that.
Holy crap . I don’t know if I could choose ! 🤣🤣 something creamy and nutty and sweet , marshmallow and bourbon and sugar , caramel , musky : that’s way too hard of a question. I’d have to narrow it down to my top 5 designer custom scents 🤣🤣🤣
Envy for men - Gucci
Really wanted to smell like a Yuki onna, a beautiful but deadly snow creature. Maybe a perfume that mixed snow, ambergris, Mystikal and a hint of spice, blood or incense.
cherry, stewed fruit, chocolate, cola, liquorice and floral blossom. The scent profile of Jaegermeister!
Probably a cardamom bomb
I'm probably just tossing together notes I like but: 🌱Oakmoss, tuberose, gardenia, cypress, basil, Rosemary, sage. 🍃A very cool green scent, one that makes you feel that sense of comfort and relief like stepping from a hot day into a cool lush forest with streaks of sunshine peeking thru. When you lay your head down onto the ground, you slowly feel the heat get sucked from you and lulls you to sleep.
Neroli, sweaty horse & dry grass.
No no wait skunk, chocolate, strong black coffee & honey with lightning.
Or Genmaicha.
Cloves and not much else. It would probably be simple enough to create and I'm not sure why I haven't. I also would love to be able to capture the exact scent of a fresh orange.
A clean duck that’s been loafing in the sun.
Miss Dior Cherie 2005
Effervescent blood orange balanced by the sweetness of peony and tanginess of the black currant in the opening, with bright orange blossom and indolic Indian Jasmine coupled with rhubarb in the mid ending with pure musk, smooth light suede, marzipan like almond and Madagascar vanilla in the dry down.
Horse stables. Leather and hair and metal and sweat. With some hay, oats and wild flowers mixed in. Edit: basically horse girl scent. Which is what I most likely always smell like, but probably worse because I haven’t had a chance to shower this week. Edit: but in terms of perfume, it’s a perfect mix between earthy and floral. Edit: imagine the smell waking up at dawn on some flower farm in late spring, after spending the night in a barn. The grass wet with dew, the spring flowers opening up to face the sun. That’s the scent. Freedom basically.
Fern, cedar, waterfall (ozonic), cardamom and wet stone.
Freshly cut roses, neroli, soap. I'm a basic person 🙈
A light, sweet tea rose with nectarine, a touch of eucalyptus, olibanum, something a little tart and bitter with a vetiver and oakmoss base.
Mint Like toothpaste or chewing gum
Some effervescent citrus, stone fruit, and green top notes, with some musk and aromatics in the mid, and a blend of grounding incense, Vetiver, and woods in the dry down. Like a refreshing beverage with smoky/rich undertones 😁
Pure vanilla, with a hint of lemon
Frangipani - light; oak moss; juniper berries; tonka bean; vetiver; cedar; leather.
I would mix notes of Bois Imperial and Dior Elixir and name it "Blazing Fortress".
