So I got a sample of Phoenix Artisan's scent for Big Shave S'West 2020 looking to see if I would like it as a shave soap and it turns out I actually like the fragrance itself. But it starts off a little aqueous whenever I smell it. Which I suppose, given what it smells like to me (western, leathery, gunpowder and campfirey) is probably OK.
Anyway, long way of saying here is what he describes the scent as, is there anything you guys recommend that is similar?
A Dark, Leathery, Musky, Smokey Mesquite, Western Bouquet wrapped up like an Eastern Attar! A very manly, rugged, yet sophisticated fragrance.
My favorite scent like what you're describing is Le Labo's Patchouli 24. Very barbecue. And then when you say dark smoky, what comes to my mind is Encre Noire (the budget choice here), Maison Trudon Revolution, Naomi Goodsir Bois D'ascese, and Zoologist Tyrannosaurus Rex. also Tauer stuff sort of points in that direction while being (mostly) lighter: au coeur du desert (which i've been wearing a lot lately), l'air du desert marocain, lonestar memories, and lonesome rider (which maybe the smokiest of the tauers if i recall correctly)
