Sounds like something I’d be into actually. I have a sample that I haven’t smelled yet.Brother night. Usj. Smells like a sour rotten hot dog, that someone forgot after the cookout. Nauseating. Avoid.
I know what you mean by this. I have been doing the same thing and wearing New York Intense and Heritage a lot. I don’t include LDDM in the same category as those other more challenging scents. I find it pretty easy to wear.Many years ago when I started to take an interest in whisky my first love were the big Islays. I wanted my single malts to be peaty, smoky, salty and with lots of tar. Through the years I've drifted more and more towards a little more subtle flavours. I still do love my Ardbegs, but on rare occasions. I generally prefer a great highland, speyside, or maybe one of the stellar japanese or taiwanese whiskies.
My love for perfume is not as old as my love for whisky, but I get the feeling that I'm on a similar path. When I first got in to fragrances I fell for the weird and unusual. Again, I still love my Yatagan, Bat, Kouros, Norne, Lampblack, Carnal Flower, L'air d'un desert marocain etc. But it feels like I gravitate more and more towards fragrances that smells ...nice. A well made and high quality citrus, an easygoing fougère, a relaxed chypre.
When I tried to remember the scents that I've worn for the last couple of weeks most of them fall into this category. Guerlain's Vetiver, Pour un homme, New York, Moustache, Monsieur Balmain, Italian Bergamot, L'Eau d'hiver, Déclaration edt etc.
I recently got hold of a vintage bottle of Aramis Tuscany per Uomo. It's not original, but it smells very, very nice. The most easygoing of fougères. You can smell it all day without ever being tired of it. That's an underrated quality I think.
