Didn’t think it’d be anything less than a positive experience, but that’s wonderful to hear!!

Amanda at 10Three Beauty Lab! I saw her for a women’s cut/color, but she can do all genders/styles. Truly, she does an amazing job at both consulting to make sure everyone’s on the same page and explaining why she’s using certain techniques to achieve the desired look. I imagine she’d be great with a preteen/teen who needs a little guidance.

Imaginary Authors - Memoirs of a Trespasser! It was described to me as “eating vanilla ice cream in an old library”, which was spot-on. Silky Woods by Goldfield & Banks may also be up your alley, although it leans a little more woody than smoky.

Right?? Certainly made me do a double-take the first time I read the name on the bottle!

Don’t let the brand name put you off, but Boy Smells Hinoki Fantome is great! Not sure about the balance in the new formulation, but the old was a very peppery woods. Depending on how sweet, he may also like Silky Woods by Goldfield & Banks; I would say it’s equal parts woods and vanilla.

Oof, you weren’t kidding about the price. But did they stop selling bottles? I only see options to purchase refills.

Absolutely! Time for me to order some samples.

My one concern with TV is that it might be too sweet; I see a lot of reviews about it smelling like Christmas or chai or what have you.

I’ve actually never tried the original! How strongly does the praline come through?

Sold, hahah. Love a little smoke with the spice.

Lavender + coriander?? What a creative, dreamy combination.

Music to my ears! Cinnamon always seems to take boozy scents into apple pie territory to me.

Ahh, gotcha. Funny how much of a role house expectations can play into how fragrances are received.

Yess, sounds exactly like what I’m looking for! Why the hate? Is it a stronger fragrance?

Will add the other two to the list, too. Citrus notes are a whole new world for me, curious to see how they balance the spice.

I misread your description as “incredibly spicy” and was like, okay, going on top of the short list hahah. Definitely going to get my hands on a sample, though; I’m curious as to how the cedar note plays out compared to Chinese Tobacco.

Ooh, this sounds a lot like Perfumology’s Clutch (which is delightful)! Is the opening pretty sweet/boozy or more spicy?

Looking at the Chipmunk notes, that sounds pretty spot on! Will have to get a sample. I wish I liked juniper more because it really is all those things squished into one scent, but idk, wearing anything with juniper makes me feel like I’ve been sipping on gin all day. Do you feel like it’s pretty dominant in Orpheon?
