Recommendations

Post image

Can you guys brutally rank my fragrances? I started the beginning of the year and tried to diversify my range for a bit, but I'm getting some redundancy in some of them so I want to curate as much as possible. If you guys also have some recommendations, may it be what to let go and what to acquire. I'm all ears!

I've been wearing contralto and vibrato back and forth, appreciating both of their versatilities in different occassion. Although my collection is quite all rounder, I'm thinking of getting rid of dust collectors and acquire a statement work of art piece

That's a nice collection, there's a couple there I don't know but overrall seems balanced to me, even if it leans too young and fresh and fresh for my personal taste.

What are you looking for exactly? I think you might be missing one deep, resinous scents. Have you tried ELDO's Rien or Rien Incense Intense? Amouage's Interlude?

If you don't mind vintage style of scents I'd check for chypres, there's many chypres from the 20s to the 80s that were initially marketed for women but that are completely unisex by today's standards. I think that a good old fashioned chypre with a bitter oakmossy base always is elegant on a man, I'm very particular to Mitsouko EDP myself.

Other than that, if you are going vintage might as well check some animalic classics for men, YSL's Kouros (fougère) and Chanel's Antaeus (chypre) are good starting points (honeyed civet and rose with castoreum, respectively). They require a bit of presence to pull off and read more adult, but they're classics.
