trying a sample of Mad Et Len Terre Noire today; it's super boring. at the top it smells like old spice w a little leather, and then quickly becomes a very boilerplate wood and spice scent.

Great find! wonderful fragrance.Managed to get hold of a vintage unopened bottle of Derby EdT from someone who clearly didn't know what it was. First time I tried the original formula. Modern Derby is an excellent fragrance, but gosh this is something else. Must be one of the greatest chypres ever made. Great depth and complexity. Love those bergamot and citrus top notes and the long, long drydown with oakmoss, patchouli and leather. Need to get more of this stuff.
Couteau de Poche Fumabat. I wore it yesterday too. It's weird, it's dark, and it's a little funky. It lasts forever. It reminds me of both Slumberhouse and Sultan Pasha stuff. I just bought a FB, my first of anything since the start of 2017.
Fumabat was one of my only FB purchases last year as well.
Bought a decant of Guerlain L’homme Ideal EDT and love it. I had samples of the Cologne, this and the EDP in the past. It gets a lot of dislike and it’s probably the synthetics? I haven’t sampled nearly as much as you guys but I can’t think of think of anything else I’ve smelled that’s similar. Maybe slightly softer then I like but I wouldn’t mind a full bottle when this is gone.
Also picked up a decant of Penhaligons Sartorial. I get ginger,pepper and beeswax in the first hour. Then it’s Drakkar Noir like oakmoss and beeswax remaining. Nice but didn’t love it and am happy with the 10mls I own.
The newer Tom Ford’s masculines haves peeked my interest and I think I’m going to seek them out this weekend. Has anyone smelled Fougere D’argent or Beau de Jour?
I love Tam Dao but have been out of it for months. I need to buy some more.The past two days I’ve been wearing Tam Dao EdT, wanting to bring in the New Year with my “first love” when it concerns niche scents. It’s also one of my favorite comfort scents, being bone-dry with a warm glow.
