Perfume of the Day

[mec09ne]

Wardia Oud by brother Zakir.

Dark, sweet jammy rose on a bed of chocolaty hindi out. Can't get enough of it!

Your mother has good taste. I love HJ. I haven’t come across any perfume house like it.

She also has the finances to support good taste! I can only dream....

@mobyus , where do I find HJ ?

Harrods Dept. Store, UK

Ha! I'm not going to make it there then. But @mobyus sent me a link and I see they have a store in CA.

Harrods Ships, very reasonable. However California makes sense.

Wearing the new version of Khashab by Agar Aura - very happy to say it is very similar to the original, which is one of my all-time favourites.

Ys-Uzac Point Mort II - gorgeous. This gives me Hainan 2005 mid-phase vibes all over. Remove the slight barn and add a leathery osmanthus instead. Also, some Jinkoh Hainan Essenza, but with less mushrooms and more dead foliage. There is a leathery and urinous musk vibe to it, which I only pick up in the air and not on the skin. Very complex and well thought perfumery showing once again that one can use quality oud in perfumes beyond the basic mix it in alcohol concept that saturates the artisanal scene. This takes both a deep understanding and respect for Agarwood as well as a skilled perfumer to achieve. Love from me.

Yeah, and a friend said that they would send you blotters of the oils if you ask them so you can make up your mind. They're very expensive for a blind buy!

Which is why I have to wait and hope Mommie shares with me when I visit.

Does she have the perfumes or the oils?

Both...lucky lady.

Homemade perfume oils

Oakmoss, Cardamom, Green Mandarin, Davana, Geranium and Helichrysum Italicum (Croatia).

Perfect for the overcast, cold autumn day in Northeastern USA.

Sokkat AlTeeb - North Thai EDP

This EDP used 1/2 tola of an oud of the same name. It smells lemony with a lipid (first time I use that term). Smells fresh, heavily oudy. Light on the nose. Feels volatile in a good way. Very enjoyable.

Henry Jacques - Oudh Imperial

It begins with an oud opening. Then the heart of geranium and leather tantalize the senses. There are warm vanilla and amber undertones that soften all of the ingredients and make the scent the majestic mix that it is. I

Sounds amazing.

They have Hj Bonjour for Men at their Rodeo Drive boutique. That's the one to get. My favorite. I sampled it and was hooked.

Teone Reinthal's Rainbird.

A simple violet leaf, tea rose and sandalwood (spicatum maybe) affair. I think Teone's treatment of violet leaf is always wonderful, and this is lovely for a warm apring day.

No I haven't. I've tried Onction, Fantasmes, Bonjour for Men, and D'Igor No.9
