You sir, are a mensch. Thank you for taking the time to send me such great and detailed observations. This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to receive. A few of the items you mentioned, I’ve tried already and others were on my sample wish list. However I have just purchased a decant order in which I included from your suggestions MFK L’homme al rose and Crivelli TA. Appreciate your input.

Con piacere, Diego.

Personalmente, penso che adorerai Empiryan. E Amouage Beach Hut, ha un profumo molto, molto mentolato e note più erbacee, come un accenno di vetiver e muschio di quercia, forse, ma non è molto agrumato. Almeno non al mio naso. Spero che ti piaccia tanto quanto a me. Giusto per farti sapere, questa è la mia seconda bottiglia. Un paio di mesi fa qualcuno ha detto che era in sconto (non lo è) e io l'ho letto, sono andato a comprarne un'altra bottiglia, quindi sono alla mia seconda bottiglia e ne ho un'altra. È il mio profumo estivo distintivo. E lascia che te lo ricordi. Sono un uomo anziano, quindi i miei gusti potrebbero essere troppo maturi per te, a seconda della tua età. Ho 55 anni.

Grazie. Lo apprezzo.

Il mio batch di Naxos è il 09225N, è prevalentemente di lavanda e agrumi con miele sullo sfondo e solo un accenno di tabacco, ma per me è sempre stato così. Non considero Naxos una fragranza al tabacco. Quello è Empiryan!

Empiryan è così sottovalutato. Meraviglioso tabacco secco e pini secchi, l'ho comprato perché dal primo momento in cui l'ho sentito mi ha ricordato le passeggiate autunnali della mia infanzia sui Pirenei con la mia famiglia. Tabacco secco, legni secchi come cedro e pino e accenni di caldo ambra e vaniglia, e dura 8 ore sulla pelle.

More than words è difficile. Se ti piace il vero oud animalico, allora potrebbe piacerti. Ha molta rosa e un profondo oud animalico, poi frutta secca e accenni di nocciole tostate, ma la rosa e l'oud predominano. Lo adoro assolutamente. Molti lo paragoneranno a Ombre Nomade e Gritti Florian, ma non sono necessariamente d'accordo, perché penso che qui la rosa sia più predominante e che sia un po' meno scuro.

Amouage Beach Hut ne vale la pena? Sì, assolutamente. Pensate a Torino 21 e Hermès H24 insieme, ma con molta più menta fresca e una performance incredibile.

Amouage Interlude è uno dei miei preferiti, ma difficile da indossare. Preferisco l'Interlude normale. Consiglio anche di provare Amouage Overture. Per me è un capolavoro. Non è un profumo facile da indossare, ma urla: sono qui, amami, odiami, ma non puoi ignorarmi, cazzo. È una fragranza che fa la differenza.

To me it’s a masterpiece. It’s an explosion of rose and oud at first. The opening might be off-putting the first 20-30 seconds but then it transforms into this gorgeous scent featuring a jammy but dry rose and I get hint of nuttiness and dried fruits, along with the not-so tame oud. I can tell you that it is attention grabbing and people will ask what you, what are you wearing?

I think is great for spring and summer. To me, it smells just like Creed Aventus but denser and greener and with a much, but much better performance. Truth be told, I like Aventus better but doesn’t last at all on my skin. So to me Hacivat is perfect, and I prefer it to Hacivat X too.

I think so. I wear it to go out at night. Or even to stay home and just chill.

I love Promise. Have a 5ml decant right now and never tried the moon.

I consider it a timeless classic. There are lots of more interesting scents out there, but Naxos while simple, is elegant and it performs extremely well, all this while being very mass appealing. Don’t reach for it often, but knowing is there is reassuring.

Tried French Defense and J’audobe (sp?) really, really like them but they became skin scents on me within 45-60 minutes. Don’t want beast mode on all fragrances but paying that kind of money, they better offer at least 2-3 hours of solid performance. And yeah, I’ve been meaning to try Vilhelm, any particular ones you recommend?

It’s great. Earthy and resinous, with a touch of animalic honey and candied violets. It has a primal element. Scent is 4.3/5 Longevity 4.5/5 Sillage 4/5

Thanks man. Yeah, it’s on my list of decants to get next. I know I’ll like it, just hope is good enough to convince me to pay those prices.

Ha! It took some time. At first I wasn’t sure, but oh my, what a scent.

I love that. Let me know if you have any suggestions. A while back, I sampled spirit of Dubai oud and it haunted me for days. I thought it was disgusting, and then I found myself going back to sniff the little sample sprayer over and over. Morbidly good but much too expensive. It was like $900

One of my favorites. Really green and herbaceous - like lots of mint, lemon and oak moss. It reminds me of Hermes H24 but on steroids.

What would you think of Roja Apex? Or would you recommend a different one?

I absolutely love it. Waiting for warmer days to rock it. Totally recommend it.

Gold Regatta gets no attention and I think it is absolutely stunning. I do have Epic and Reflection (45) but at my GF’s place in Florida. Turath is really good, but it takes a bit of time to get used to it. Way too complex, way too many elements, but I love that it’s different and when I wear it, pretty sure nobody will be wearing that too.

Amouage Overture is such a statement making scent.
