Chorus by Amwaj (no, not Amouage) ... an aromatic fougere oil, yes, like Kouros but without the predator animalics.
Once the high notes have died down, it leaves a lovely ground mossy green with bright juniper, which should set up nicely for tonight's shave with MWF and a splash of Gillette Series Wild Rain.
CF's take on Tom Ford F****in Fabulous.
Got to be honest I wasn't sure about this when I first used it, but its growing on me. Definitely unlike any of my other scents - very distinctive top notes.
Al Rehab Mokhalat Dubai - Woodsy, dark, wet rose with bitter, medicinal, herbal & light smoke overtones kinda same ballpark as Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme
A fragrance I’ve always wanted to try yet somehow never gotten round to. Just a 5ml sample from Connaught (great service, I must frequent them more). Plain fare compared to some of the elite offerings on this thread:
D R Harris, Marlborough
I won’t describe it as the scent notes On the Harris website have it just right. Verdict? I absolutely love it as does Matron. So that’s my Christmas sorted then. Wonder if she’ll will throw in a cake of soap of if I carve my own bowl? One can but try. Christmas morning shave with this scent? Better get the pills, I’m going all giddy…
oudilicious Mukhallat Ateeq - one of the few attars where I like the inclusion of hina/henna, which often takes on an acrid note for me but here creates an earthy depth for the amber and rose to rise in prevalence. Good Taifi rose in this, which I find quite green stem that brings a real green freshness to the otherwise quite warm and earthy oil.
