A lot of people complain about the animalic aspects of Leather Oud, but I really don't think it's that dirty at all. To my nose, Dior's oud accord seems to be mostly about smoky wood--at least here and in Oud Ispahan and Oud Rosewood.Awesome.
I’d love to smell that leather oud.
Electimuss sounds like a professor at Hogwarts.
Another grey and miserable day today, I almost welcome such days during the brutal summer months here.
I went for Serge Lutens Arabie, which I don't wear much for a few reasons; one, it is discontinued (irrational fear of running out), and two, I really have to be in the mood for it. I love how closely it resembles the overall character of Arabic cuisines. There's such a great use of anise and dry fruits that almost comes across as boozy in the classiest way ever (I consider boozy fragrances to be generally gross and tacky). I recall really hating what I perceived to be a curry note, but it isn't nearly as pronounced as I remember, unlike in Ambre Sultan. Sometimes, I feel like I am wasting this fragrance when I wear it, but I just cannot help it when the mood strikes.
Pretty much how I feel about all Tom Ford fragrances.Amber Absolute is a big disappointment
That's similar to my thoughts about clothing and fragrances: if you're always waiting for a special occasion, eventually you'll realize that you never got to appreciate something as much as you might have because there just weren't enough special occasions. Wear it now. Enjoy it now.About wasting fragrance, living life and not using the fragrances and making memories with them is a much bigger waste honestly. A full bottle is empty of memories and of how its meant to be used. You cant bring the bottles with you once you're gone.

How is it? I saw it has black cavair notes but.... does it really?Electimuss Black Caviar
It's been a while since I've had black caviar, so I'm not sure, but I can kind of see what people mean, I think. Really, I like it because it's an aquatic but with a lot more going on than something like Profumum Roma Acqua di Sale. It's an easy wear in the summer and can dress up or down pretty easily.How is it? I saw it has black cavair notes but.... does it really?
Caviar is a vaguely briny, salty type thing. Some minerality to it, too.It's been a while since I've had black caviar, so I'm not sure, but I can kind of see what people mean, I think.
